just started this series....but

why is Lion-O such a failure?

he got cucked by his brother

he gets his ass kicked all the time

everyone of his subjects treats him like shit

what is this?
>>
CN hired mentally unstable writers.
>>
/co/ told me Lion-O wanted to fuck the loli. Is that true?
>>
They changed the writing staff after the pilot.
>>
>>81570301
Always believe what /co/ tells you.

Always listen.

Always believe.

>>81570141
well, presumably he'd have gotten his comeuppance in later seasons had it not been canceled.
>>
>>81570301
the loli is literally best girl so i wouldn't blame him if he did.
>>
>>81570301
No, she was the only girl on the team he didn't lust after, but she did comfort him in the last scene of the series.

The first few episodes were written by a different group than the rest, which were mainly written by people who outright disliked Lion-O and didn't even want him to be the main character.

what's not to like about lion-o? he's the king, the main character. he's voiced by Terry McGinnis

fuck everyone else

I have been here for six years. No we're not.

You're looking at that logically instead of from a Tygra fanboy perspective. Pretty much the only later episodes that give Lion-O any respect were the ones written by his voice actor.

Will Friedle even lobbied to have Ben-Gali added to the cast to give Lion-O a proper role model but was shot down by the head writer because having more tigers would make Tygra less special.

Let's be real here. The show's writing is not something that really matters in the end. In fact that's why the show ultimately failed.
>>
>>81572026
he tried to save the show? damn. i feel sorta bad. I feel like Lion-O just keep sgetting shat on like a joke

Source? Everytime I read these threads it's just anons spreading rumors.
>>
>>81572333

I've seen that claim about Bengali mentioned before but never seen a source either. I'd be interested to see something backing it up.

On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if that were true; there's definitely a difference in how Lion-O is treated between the episodes Will wrote and ones from the other writers. Plus there was a comics con panel about what they had planned for future episodes that were never made and some of the stuff from it is definitely unflattering to Lion-O.

Of course, there's also the fact that the petty dickishness of that staff in general is well-known. I don't have a screenshot of it but one of them threw a temper tantrum on DeviantArt because somebody pointed out elements of Pumyra's design that they didn't care for.

>new version of Cheetara was stacked
>>
>>81572155
Sex appeal aside, can we agree at least in character design the new show was god-tier?

Already the original had the slight anime look, and this just made them look cooler. Lion-O looked nice, Cheetara was hot, Panthro looked badass and Tygra and the kids were fine. and that's not counting some of the one-offs.

It's a shame the writing was shit cause design-wise it was everything a reboot of the franchise needed.

You know, even with all the Lion-O shitting, and that horse shit backstab with that bitch (which again ended up with Lion-O getting shat on in two different ways), I honestly wanted this show to go on. Because maybe, just maybe they could have done something better in the 2nd season.
>>
>>81570141
Writers had a personal vendetta against Lion-O for some reason.
>>
>>81570301
No, she was just the only girl on the team that didnt treat him like shit

>>81574960
What a fucking dick head. I would have call him out on his shit right after his initial passive aggressive comment and reemed his ass so bad he would have fucking blocked me then and there.
>>
>>81576477
It's amazing how after all the shit they put Lion-O through during the whole show and they end it with that double whammy of dick kicking. Who knows what would have happened if it got a 2nd season.

There was a Double whammy? what were they?

He didn't, but the loli wanted to fuck him.
And he should have when she was older.

Holy shit. I've heard how fucked this show's development was but I didn't know Friedle actually had to step in to keep the show anywhere near normal.

>Who knows what would have happened if it got a 2nd season.

Pumyra would have turned into a giant insect monster that would come very close to killing Lion-O with Tygra saving him at the last second by killing her.

Is the reboot really that bad? It doesn't sound much like what I watched when I was a kid.

In the latino dub they had the same cast as the Pawn Stars dub.
Lion-o: Chumlee
Tigra: Big Huss
Panthro: Rick
Mum-Ra: Old Man
