you know... now that you mentioned... i'm sure there are better parallels but i DO get a "Bebop" vibe from Panthro and Tygra... And yes, Cheetara and Lion-o looks like a mix of Airbender + Naruto...
it's... weird. Overall, just weird... not bad. Just... weird. And Lion-o is the one that looks least like a feline at all... EDIT: FYI the director is the same guy behind Teen Titans and Ben10... so you already know what to expect regarding plots and Zany humor Last edited by Bells; 03-15-2011 at 03:06 PM. |

I love the humor in Ben 10 and especially Ultimate Alien in how they manage to get a good sniping at Glenn Beck.

I actually like Lion-o's new design, and I don't mind that they're trying to differentiate the cast a bit. After all, the old thundercats (the dudes anyway) all had pretty much the same body type even though there's the strong guy, the smart guy, and what have you.
I do wish they wouldn't take it to these extremes though. |

All I got to say is this...  Sideburns can still help save the world.

This looks like it might be.... okay enough for me to cautiously give them a chance with Panthro. They fucked his design up, and I'm sure he won't have his old voice actor, but it is still conceivable that they might MIGHT get his character right. I kinda doubt it, but even if Panthro's fate is sealed, I can endure a couple episodes to check.

The designs of this think are so incongruous it's sad. Lion-o lost the least in translation, but they still crossed him with Generic European Knight #434. Tygra was crossed with Generic Space Marine #638, Panthro was crossed with Jet Black and Generic Samurai #236, and Cheetara seems to have walked out of Avatar: The Last Airbender #537's closet. That's totally ignoring that we don't know what WilyKit and WilyKat are wearing under those cloaks. Say what you will about the original spandex designs, but they were at least internally consistent. This thing looks like it's trying to throw out as much as possible in the "if we cast a wide enough net, it's guaranteed to sell" strategy. It's a mess! EDIT: Oh, God, I just realized he doesn't even have a topknot. It was just one of his spikes. That makes it even MORE unforgivable. Seriously, they took probably one of the best, most awesome, most respectable black guys ever from a cartoon and made him ugly as sin. Panthro was a guy who could kick ass and had a brain, too. Here he's relegated to being at best a philosophical warrior what with being the only one of them with battle scars, balding, and otherwise shaggy and unkempt as they could get away with.

Yeah so it's clear I am not talking about all sideburns, or even all mutton-chop sideburns, but specifically that set of mutton-chop sideburns.
They are un-awesome, a statement of un-awesomeness, and a promise of un-awesomeness to come.
