Leaked footage of new Thundercats cartoon

[icon_uk]

After the disappointment of the new Voltron cartoon (Seriously... could they make it ANY more dull or clichéd, and the animation looks like it's escaped from 1993) this gives me a little hope for the new Thundercats.

And jump to 4:00 for the BEST "Context is for the weak" moment I've seen in a LONG time...

Looking at her eye design, Cheetara looks like she's escaped from an episode of Jem!

Wily-Kit and Wily-Kat are less annoying than I was expecting... so far. I'll be interested to see how they continue that arc.

In looking for legality scans to go with this, I found two of the most stylistically mismatched covers I think I've ever come across... The DC/Image crossover which I assume was in two parts

First up the collectors variant cover of Bop/Thundercats by Alex Ross, where Lion-O seems to be channelling his inner KISS fan more than usual



And this is the other half, which may include the sleaziest Lion-O I've ever seen (and that's not a word I'd ever have thought to use to describe him) by J Scott Campbell.

well, as someone who - in spite of surrounding myself with people who were avid comic book fans and the like - basically didn't discover cartoons until recently and walked into a comic book store for the first time at age 47, I never say never as to what I'll like next.

(And no, I really didn't watch kid's TV in the 60's and 70's unless I was at a friend's... too busy being a barn rat)

Ahh. Wow. But it's better late than never~ (well, as long as you're enjoying everything! Haha).

I grew up with a family member who always had cartoons, anime and comics around, and even now, my grandma will watch cartoons and anime with me and will hang when I want to go to the comic store, and I have my cousins that are just a bit younger than I am who keep up with some cartoons.

I am used to knowing for sure when I won't like some stuff, but BF5 (and Storm Hawks) managed to impress me a lot (strong female characters, diverse cast in personality, appearance, racially and ethnically, getting creative with worlds and stuff).

it just makes me up how long it took (although we would watch Speed Racer on rainy days I was reminded) - I have tons of examples like I remember sitting in the car waiting for my BF to run into the LCS on Weds on the way home after our riding lessons growing up, I married a fanboy - but it took my son watching the Teen Titans reruns for me to finally discover a whole new world of things I was missing!
