Imagine being THIS mad over a cartoon for children. So this is our Ghostbusters '16 voice of reason moment. (Where was Change.org back in 2007 when the Bay Reign of Terror began?) |

Imagine being THIS mad over a cartoon for children. I dont understand the criticism of people who feel that passionately. Yes, it's just a cartoon, but it's obviously a cartoon that means enough to someone they felt the need to do that. That's their choice, to voice something they feel that passionately about. Yes, people likely should just look, say no, and move on - but not everyone is going to do that. Better they start a petition than fire bomb someone's house. |

Just keep Masters of the Universe as far away from this shit as possible, and I'll be happy.

The thing is, petitions are pretty much meaningless, especially in the case of a commercial property. Don't like something? Don't watch it. If enough people don't watch it, it goes away. If enough people do watch it, then it stays, and your dislike of it is irrelevant. |

Petitions or anything further than just not watching something is dopey.

It's just a weird thing for grown men to do. I think this looks bad, but eh. If I want to watch the old show, I can pick up dvds or whatever. And all that shit was toy ads mostly anyway.

They aren't taping over the old one or the 2011 one. It's this or no Thundercats, realistically. I really can't wrap my head around the indignation of some people.
I am curious what this may end up meaning for other franchises, whether this is proves to be a success for a failure, but other than that, I'll probably watch a few episodes and decide if I want to continue or not, same as any other show.

I might give TC Roar a shot, but that one She-Ra teaser poster looks badass. I'm actually more interested in that show already.

I cringed when I saw them brag about "girl power" and "diversity of the cast" so I'm extremely worried about this. She-Ra was a very strong female character, but she didn't put anyone else down (except the villains, I guess...and even then she normally tried to talk them out of doing what they were doing...and they usually tried to strike her first) and instead, she lifted other people up. I have this feeling that she's going to spend the vast majority of her time absolutely getting in Bow and Seahawk's faces (her FRIENDS, mind you) and throwing her weight around to prove "women can do anything men can do, but BETTER...ALWAYS." However, I'll wait until the show is on and give it a chance. Needless to say, what tiny artwork I could see was more reminiscent of Justice League Action or the girl Superfriends show (can't remember the name right now, sorry) than the horrible and miserable Steven Universe style of art. By the way, I don't really give a damn how "smooth" and "nice" the animation of something is if the art looks like utter garbage. Throw a turd further and harder than any football or baseball...and it's still a turd. |

It’s like a weird mix of TTG’s “let’s take an old action show and make it a straight up 11 minute comedy with modern jokes” and CN’s love of the CalArts “look at how simplistic and doofy looking this animation is”.
I mean, I’ll give it a shot, but eh, I’m cautious. At least this doesn’t feel like full blown “we don’t give a shit about being good” like the new Powerpuff Girls.

Or what they kinda are doing with Justice League Action... which I'm not even sure is still a thing... |

For all we know, this could end up being another Transformers: Animated.

Have you seen Voltron: Legendary Defender? Because it's the same people doing it. And none of that is in there. |

Aside from a Teen Titans GO ep where the boys and girls got into a contest, and it’s TTGo so of course it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. |

Jeez louise, my Twitter feed is a bloody battlefield about this cartoon and it’s not even out yet.
I love animation to death but take a chill pill ya’ll.

I don't feel strongly about Thundercats at all.
This is just an art atyle that's never appealed to me. It's mainly that reason why I'd skip it (plus hey, I'm not the target demo here).

I can't help but roll my eyes when someone is like "NO, THEY'VE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD..THEY'VE RUINED THE OLD SHOW"
1. No, your childhood is not ruined because your childhood has happened, that part of your life has been and gone. Unless you are somehow able to reform yourself into a kid, that part of your life can no longer be edited.
2. The old show is not ruined, the old show still exists. If you really want to you can pick up old DVD's of the show.
Now look, I'm not saying that you can't have a negative opinion looking at this new TC cartoon, of course you can.. For what its worth I agree the animation is a bit meh looking. However I do feel some need to tone it down (Not aimed at anyone here). Neither your childhood or the old show is effected by this.
Who knows?, it might actually end up being really good. On the other hand it might really suck.
If it's the latter then I suggest ignoring it and go back to something you do like.

The 80’s produced some great TV, some lousy fashions, and apparently an entire generation of really messed up people.
