It better be awesome. If it's not awesome, I will be upset.

Well for the sake of my childhood I will check it out.

Oh. My. Gawd.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

But, if it isn't awesome, I'm going after someone with a machete.

Oh, it looks awesome.

Mumm-Ra is the key though. Get him (and Panthro) right, and this will ROCK.

And it's animated. I was starting to wonder if Cartoon Network was going to change its name to Mostly Cartoon Network.

Will James Lipton return to compose the theme song?

I don't believe it either but it's plastered all over the interwebs so it must be true.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ James Lipton? *That* James Lipton?

And I've posted this far too many times, but any time anyone mentions Thundercats I feel the need to:

Garfield as Snarf...

^ James Lipton? *That* James Lipton?

It may seem weird but it's true

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Does the music sound as pretentious as the man?

 

[Capn Flukie]

You can hear the theme here;

WOW that was amazing...if you haven't seen the orginals, you'd think this is the real thing. Have they done any other trailers? I'd love to see what they do for the Teen Titans, for example.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ I still ROFL at how they just lifted a bunch of Farscape scenes for Cheetara. Gigi Edgley doesn't even need any cat makeup.

Apparently, it's an internet "meme" or joke or whatever. It was really Bernard Hoffer but damn, if that Lipton thing hasn't made the rounds!

I'll join you. I have to admit, I'm kind of mixed about the image of Lion-O and the idea of reimagining it in an anime style. It's certainly not a bad image, by any means, but the colors are a little odd. It's too early to tell much at this point, so I'll keep an open mind.

 

[Admiral_Young]

I'm excited about this...any prospect of having "Thundercats" return is huge. I was a big fan when I was a kid and had most of the figures. Lion-O was my prized possession among with my "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" collection. The teaser poster and art work of Lion-O looks pretty cool.

 

[Jetfire]

I am excited about this too. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

 

[Technobuilder]

I'll believe it when I'm watching it.

But....

I really hope they plan out the mythology from Day 1 with complete story arcs.

I'm looking for an anime type series in terms of tone, characterization, and pacing here.

Otherwise, it'll be Masters of the Universe all over again.

 

[Admiral_Young]

This was rumored a few months ago...along with the movie (the writer of which was recently found murdered btw, Steve Perry) which still seems to be in development hell.
