Review: Thundercats 2011

Ah! They made a reboot of this series. A good part of my childhood is being relieved. For all of you awesome people who grew up with this fuckin' cool cartoon series. Let's look back at our 1980's heroes.

Lion-O. Is that how you spell his name?

 Cheetara.

Skirtboy and Slut. Sorry, Kit and Kat.

BDSM Guy. Again, sorry. This is Panthro.

 This is Jaga.

 This is Tigra.


In the 80's version, young Lion-O and his team were sent in a capsule to another world because their world was on the verge of destruction. Jaga died on the voyage but time passed really long that by the time Lion-O awoke from his time capsule, he was a full grown man. We watch every episode of him defeating Mumra and some other villains and danced to the theme song everytime. If you did this, put your hands up!

Reboot version:
Guess who are they?



 Well this is Claudious. I don't think he made more than one episode for the 80's version as well.






Honestly speaking, this reboot Snarf is so much CUTER! 80's version was...well...*cough* this new Snarf doesn't speak but gives out a meow-like sound like a cat. OMG he's so CUTE!




Omgeeee squeeee!!! Anyhoo, in this reboot version, Lion-O lives a carefree life in the flourishing kingdom of Thundera. Tigra is his adopted brother. King Claudious is most disappointed that Tigra behaves more like a king than his own flesh and blood, Lion-O. In this world where they call it 3rd Earth, technology is considered as myth but only Lion-O seems to have faith in them which rendered him as an oddball among his people.
One day, after the return of a long-travelled general, Grunn, Thundera was attacked by enemies.
They were top predators to endangered species ONE DAY.
Thus began young Lion-O's journey to find the Book of Omen and find Mumra to whoop his skeletal ass.

Verdict: I say give this reboot a chance even if it seems to Americanized for some people's taste. I have always been an open person so...yeah just watch for the fresh feeling.

Review ~ The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
