What's /co/ opinion on the new ThunderCats?
>>
It was OK, but not as good as it could have been. Plenty of missed opportunities.
>>
Cancelled for a reason.
>>
Pilot was great, then got got really, REALLY shitty.
>>
First two episodes, the two part pilot, was really good. Then someone had the bright idea to get rid of the writers and it very quickly became a pile of shit that dropped interesting parts of their personality in episode 3. Or maybe the writers just quit for whatever reason. Important thing is that the writers who did the good stuff in the pilot all left and were replaced.
>>
I thought it was pretty good.

All of it? I only watched the pilot so far, so it's kind of sad everyone says the rest is shit.

Wasted potential
Subtle Furry Fetish indoctrinative.

They should go to a Avatar the last airbender tier type of writing and animation
When making reboots now because that seems to be the highest standard these days

God awful writing, straight from the pilot.

Okay guys, is there a ThunderCats but good? I can't really think of anything aside from Avatar.

Good pilot, but otherwise, pic related is the only good thing to come from that show.

I have never seen a show turn from awesome to absolute garbage in such a short amount of time.
>>
Short Version: The good writers got kicked out after the pilot.

Long Version: And their replacement writers were massive Tygra fanboys. The voice actor for Lion-o has spoken about how much work it was just to get an episode ABOUT Lion-o, never mind him actually doing anything useful.

Consider, in the pilot Lion-o is the tech enthusiast and whilst Tygra is tougher than him, they're not so far apart. Also Tygra is a regular big brother to him.

After the pilot Lion-o forgets everything about technology, and Tygra starts shitting all over him at every opportunity.

It was clear from the pilot that they had so many great ideas that were immediately abandoned, too. Judging from the pilot, they had a couple of great arcs already at least partly planned out that now we'll never see.

The pilot was NEVER that good. It's easy to set up Great Expectations, but fulfilling them? That's difficult work. So stop sucking the Pilot Writer's dicks.

-pacing was really slow. Really unnecessary filler episodes that did not advance the plot at all.
-Writer's hated Lion-O for some reason. Made him look like a tool while making Tigra look cool.
-Waaaay too much anime shit.

You should know by now that when /co/ calls something "shitty" it just means "not 10/10". You can still watch it and derive enjoyment of something that isn't perfect.

There are a few good episodes. But they're spread thin throughout. Just watch the one hour premiere and imagine the rest of the show was that good.

You Tigrawank the show? Imagine Lion-o and Tigra relationship that's even more shitty relationship than Naruto and Sauske and instead of showing both of them getting better every epsiode they spend 2 seasons shitting on lion-o and sucking Tigra's dick.

NuThundercats was a solid 4/10. And it's literally all because of the writing.
>>
>>77348349
Only if you have a short attention span. YJ's writing plays the long game pretty brilliantly.

The timeskip hurts things, though. The second season should've been the third.

You can almost physically feel the drop in quality after the pilot. I rewatched a few episodes recently to see if I was being unfair to the show, and I still liked the pilot episodes, but the show drops off really, really quickly after that. Characterizations (especially Lion-O) taking a hit was one of the major things that turned me off. It was like getting to know a stranger and having the impression that he's a great guy, but the next day you talk to him he acts like an asshole.

In an alternate universe Thundercats 2011 got to live up to its potential and was a great hero's journey story.

Lion-O should've gone for Wilykit.

>>77360613
It's not entirely shit after the pilot. There are a few really decent episodes scattered throughout, any of the sci-fi flashbacks to LionO's ancestors are very cool and pretty much anything to do with WilyKit/Kat is handled well. At the same time though, there is a lot of crap in there as well.

Just came in this thread to say that I would fuck Wilykit.

Ok, carry on.
>>
>>77360891
There's too many good episodes for it to be an overall 4/10. I'd say 6 or 7 instead. There ARE random 4/10 episodes in there though, like that Moby Dick one.

Like it's been said before it's clear that while they HAD an ongoing story idea kind of going, they defaulted to the whole "episodic action cartoon" format immediately after, and just gave a bunch of writers a free pass to make whatever episode they wanted even if it didn't make thematic sense.
>>
Normally I am not into furries, if these guys count that is, but I would so do both Lion-o and Tygra.
>>
Don't care what anyone else says, Cheetara was hot.

As hot as she was insufferably boring.
