I have no problem with the art style change. I loved the original Thundercats, but a new show is going to demand new art. Just like the new Batman cartoon did not try to emulate the artwork from TAS.
The complete overhaul of the concept leaves me uninterested in watching the new show. Everything I liked about the original has been removed.
I'm not going to go crazy over this. The Thundercats will remain a treasured childhood memory for me. But if the rumor turns out to be true, I won't be tuning in.

I liked the old T-cats and would liked to have seen a revamp that was more faithful to the original. Having said that I must now say this, advice I have to give to some friends of mine all the time: If you don't get it/like it then it probablly wasn't meant for you. Sure they could have gone for a nostalgia show and gotten some small market like those of us who hang around here, or they could have looked a demographics, the market, and done all the things that anyone who actually gets a show made HAS to do and decided to go for a younger market, and specifically a new market that they might be able to hold onto longer, and not clutter up a new show with lots of old continuity cause thats whats going to make them the most money. Yes, sometimes people make new shows and they are garbage and bomb, but as Henry pointed out, sometimes even if the old fans don't like them they get new ones who do.

Well, just because they use an older license doesn't mean they can't keep the core concepts. Just look at the Masters of the Universe update. The company that made that show managed to take a pretty cheesy 80's toy commercial, and give it a more serious tone (including making Skeletor and his minions an actual threat instead of weird-looking buffons). I think the main reason the show didn't last wasn't becuase it was garbage, but becuase Cartoon Network at the time seemed to be doing everything in its power to kill off any show that wasn't either produced in-house and/or didn't have enough anime influence.Stormborn said:

True enough. If the teeming masses (or at least their children) love it, then so be it. I'll just go about my merry way/Stormborn said:
Personally I'm hoping the execs involved take a bath on this one. But that's just one forumite's view on the subject.

Somehow, I don't think this is worse...
Back when Thundercats were on originally, I was playing LOTS of 1e to avoid college assignments. My DM ran me on a solo adventure where my alu-demon illusionist/assassin was sent to kill the TCats. I boiled Snarf alive. Ah... good times.
