So the TTGo version of TCats...

I immediately thought this as well, mixed with Adventure Time.

The way I see it, they tried to make a more adult show a few years back and the ratings weren't great, which is a shame because it was a good show. So now they're pandering to the younger audience and see where that goes.

Tragic. I actually liked the reboot they did a few years ago. This is not the ThunderCats I love.

I liked everything about the 2011 series from the mythology to the tone, animation, and toys. Such a bummer it got cancelled and never even got a proper blu-ray release.

Agree 100%

I watched the behind the scenes featurette...horrible, for a long time fan of the Thundercats. Otoh, it looks to be very similar to a show called Star VS the Forces of Evil that my daughter loves, (she also loves TTGo!) so I'm sure she will be watching.

My daughter watches the same thing. It's like the little kids' gateway into Rick and Morty-type shows. And it's a reflection of the times I guess, where we have these shows that are subversive, and wink and nod at even kid audiences.

Frankly I don't blame the IP holder for going this route. T-Cats isn't exactly a hot and relevant property at the moment. GI Joe tried to capitalize on a more modern aesthetic a couple of years back with Renegades, and it fell pretty flat as far as I can tell. But maybe this will work out for them.

Wow, it looks terrible. The new intro music is super annoying. With that producer behind it, no change it will be good. Bad calls.

2011 series was great. Of course the original intro is still amazing.

Another franchise dead.
