Thundercats 2011: Actually pretty damn good - Page 4

Ok so this show is officially goddamned awesome. Although it kind of worries me in that I'm not sure they can keep this up.

The problem is that there's no way they can make Panthro as rad as Earle Hyman Panthro was.

I'm not sure what this says about me, but I actually felt a swell of something akin to pity when Emrik was trying to psych up the other petalars to help vs the lizard trackers. I dunno, something about his SERIOUS BUSINESS attitude even though it'd only been just a little while. I know it'd been literally most of the little guy's life to that point, but still.

His first act was to bust up a bunch of mechs with a laser-spitting tank. And he's got the voice of a giant Lion Turtle.

I am not worried in the slightest.

Small detail: was this episode four or five?

Locke cole · 08-13-2011, 12:36 AM

Four.

If you count the hourlong pilot as two episodes.

Otherwise, three.

oh and the first thing he did after getting out was grab one by the throat and smack him with nun-chucks

So panthro, thundertank, giant glowing thundercats signal, at this point I cant think of any legit reason for old school fans to complain unless they REALLY got a thing for snarf playing mother hen

I wonder if the spikes on his armor work like a bunch of hookshots in this version of the show, like they did in the old cartoon.

That was a thing that was real, right? I didn't just make that up now?

Gregness · 08-15-2011, 01:23 PM

I couldn't find a video of it on Youtube, but I definitely remember that Locke.

Also, did anyone else think that Spoilarz
