The Verdict
Jul. 30th, 2011 12:24 amHey,
So the new Thundercats cartoon?
Frickin' AWESOME!
They wanted to draw in the kid crowd with an Airbender/Naruto kind of vibe, but they knew they had to make the old fart fans like me happy. And they delivered in spades. So much good stuff and just the right amount of fan-service. I'm really jazzed for this show.
In fact, one very reasonable interpretation of the background they drop in the first episode is that this isn't a reboot so much as a sequel. The idea being that we're many, many generations removed from the original series and the story picks up with the descendants of the original show.
So yeah, if you enjoyed the original series, there's a lot to like in this new show.
