You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
I HATE the fact that they took third earth out of the equation (or so it seems) That left Mumm-ra open for interpretation, and the mystery of discovering things and persons unknown is gone : (. the fact that desperation of perpetuating their race, and the wonders of the unknown, scrapped so they can easily introduce new toyetic characters. could be interesting, but looks like a horrible attempt to cross Thundercats with Lord of the rings.

Thundera is now a kingdom on Third Earth. Third Earth is still there and where the show takes place.
But, I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I'm looking at it from a glass half full perspective. Yes, I would have preferred it to have been much closer to the original concept but I also know it could have been a heck of a lot worse. Some of the proposed and, thankfully, cancelled Thundercats revivals have been truly horrendous.

I am pretty hopeful with this one. I mean when he says the "Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats Ho!!!! I got really excited! I really liked the new He-Man show and I think this one stands a good chance at being awesome. Here's hoping!
I will give it a go regardless, and not judge it on the basis of my complaints alone. I think it could have been done great, just by continuing the series. They had fantastic characters and I hope they bring in those characters like Mongor, and The Demolisher.
looks pretty cool. will take some getting used to the new looks for the characters. I just hope it is not so juvenile like the original. and hopefully no Snaaaarf!
I love the Thunder Cats but I'm glad they're not sticking to the exact original story. It's so messed up. I have season one and I also still watch it on Teletoon Retro. I often find myself yelling at the screen when things don't make sense, which is nearly all the time. I still watch though...I think its just that I loved the characters so much. And the art.
The original series is interesting because it seems they borrowed (or Granito'd) elements from other popular kids stories and movies:
Thundera blew up (Krypton)
Lion-o often gets advice from the spirit of Jaga (Obi-Wan)
There is a colony of little bear like creatures (like Ewoks)
There are others but I had a long day and my brain is at half power...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new series. I think it looks pretty cool. Also not a huge fan of the Final Fantasy hair on Lion-o, but I'll get over it. Cheetara looks awesome.
Weird that it's set on Third Earth ALREADY. It could almost be a sequel to the original; showing what happens hundreds of years after the original bunch had successfully brought peace to the world.

This is what i'm hoping that maybe its consider a sequel and the cycle starts anew. Having the series start on 3rd Earth really stunts the imagination/exploration of the original series. Every episode felt new and fresh with a huge cast of new character intros. Having Thundera be a kingdom on 3rd Earth really limits the universe from the get go.
