The last time we saw Lion-O & the gang in action was with the 2011 series that was unfortunately cancelled on a cliffhanger (Much like most good shows that are then replaced with inferior versions of themselves). But today, Warner Bros. have announced a brand-new series called ThunderCats ROAR!, & it will feature a radically-different take on the characters. Brace yourselves below...
It's...basically Teen Titans Go mixed with a little bit of O.K. KO! This is definitely not gonna bode well with everyone, as the trailer already has over 1.6k dislikes compared to it's 246 likes.
But, even with the comedic influence & the unfitting style change, WB & Cartoon Network are doing their best to assure that this will capture the spirit of the original cartoon.
Staying true to the premise of the original series, Lion-O & the ThunderCats- Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, & Wilykit- barely escape the sudden destruction of their home world, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious & exotic planet of Third-Earth. Lion-O, the newly appointed Lord of the ThunderCats, attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home. A bizzare host of creatures & villains stand in their way, including the evil Mumm-Ra, Third Earth's wicked ruler who will let nothing, including the ThunderCats, stop his tyrannical reign over the planet.
ThunderCats Roar will claw it's way to Cartoon Network in 2019. The age of goofy reboots is upon us.
