The first reboot was going in the right direction until it got cancelled. I say this as a fan of the original growing up. I hope it gets cancelled during the first episode. DAMMIT NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE A COMEDY. Y'all ain't gon ruin my childhood like this. Y'all ain't gon do my ThunderCats like this. WTF IS THIS SHIT?!?!?! OOhhhhh, HEEEELLLLLLL NAW. Now you’ll understand why we are seeing reactions such as the ones below when it comes to Thundercats Roar. Now compare the look of the animation above to the animation in the video. Arin "Daren Bransen" Hanson May 18, 2018 So the 2011 reboot, which is actually worth a watch if you can get your hands on it, goes the way of so many shows on Cable TV (A victim of a group of companies holding onto outdated media rights and methods in a time where streaming media is skyrocketing) and is cancelled before it really had a chance to shine.įor those upset over Thundercats right now: there was a visually stunning, heartfelt, story driven, action oriented reboot of Thundercats in 2011 that exceeded all expectations and showed a passionate respect to the source material.

You could also put the cancellation of the 2011 series on the fact that no one wanted to buy the terribly made toys that flooded shelves at the time too, but that is just the way marketing goes. Unfortunately since Cartoon Network was expecting viewership numbers like Nickolodean was getting with the return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the time, they moved the show into impossible ratings slots after a 4 month mid-season hiatus and then cancelled the series altogether. As pointed out in the well written tweet below, Thundercats had a reboot in 2011. Now before you go getting all internet opinion on the for or against this show, let’s take a moment to remember that this is the SECOND time that Thundercats has been rebooted in the last 10 years.
