Blast from the Past! HO!

So if you grew up when I grew up, which you did if you're in anyway a member of the target market for this site then you probably remember a show called He-Man or one of the hundreds of it's knock-offs. Well I had a favorite He-man knock off and that ish was called Thunder Cats. Guess what? The good folks at Turner Broadcasting are bringing it back. Tomorrow night at 8:00pm (That's August 12th) a remake of Thunder Cats premeires on Cartoon Network. Yep, that piece of crap you had to sit through to watch Dragon Ball Z is back. SNARF!!
The remake is done by the same guys that did Ben-Ten and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which were both okay... To spice it up the guy behind Avatar: The Last Airbender may help step it up. Modern animation does mean the Thunderians have picked up a brand  attempt at retro of a new look. Check it out:


the new thundercats characer roster

Remeber what they used to look like? Okay here:

Thundercats cartoon- original character designs

So Panthro obviously ate Tygra and Lyon-oh's muscle mass along with a tall glass of dianabol (That is a steroid friends, and no it doesn't actually come in glasses). Lyon-Oh also looks more like the leadsinger of an Emo Band than the Arnold, but hey we can't live in the beautiful bodied wonderland of the 80's forever. We'll see how the show turns out. Want Blast from the Past to be a Weekly, then sign up and comment to let me know!

Good Snarfing Thunderians.

    I have to say I was super excited for the return of the thundercats, the new series is pretty different than the original, but as a reboot it's a cool direction to go in. I definitely miss the original series though, wish they'd start replaying that again it was easily one of my favorite shows as a kid.
