bluegargantuaHey,
So...they're doing a re-make of the Thundercats. Here's the (slightly choppy) video trailer:
Me: Well, Inner-12-Year-Old-Me, what did you think?
I12YOM: Oh come on! This isn't like the original show at all!
Me: Well, you have to understand that you're not the 12 year-old they're trying to reach any more. They melding in elements that are popular with kids today.
I12YOM: But it's all like Airbender or Naruto or dumb action-emo stuff like that.
Me: As if the original show didn't have its share of dumb stuff? Ro-Ber Burbils? The Luna-tics? The fact that only Lion-O aged in the sleep tubes and no one else did? You note that Snarf is now just a pokemon-like pet instead of a whiny little prig. That right there makes the show potentially 600 times better and it also means we probably won't have ham-handed PSA clips at the end. So that's good.
I12YOM: Well...that's true. And at least Cheetara is still as hot as hell.
Me: Yes, yes she is. So, on balance, I think we should give this one a shot.
