ThunderCats

@Cyborg_pony
 
Nice false equivalence. Watchmen and ThunderCats have nothing to do with each other. And while attempting to “modernize” Watchmen is stupid, Watchmen was inherently political in its premise, while ThunderCats is not.

@Jarkes  
It’s not a false equivalence. It’s an observation.
 
They keep bastardizing properties in ways they want to. Turning them into jokes as we’ve seen with several times before.

@Cyborg_pony
 
You’re literally claiming that making a more comedy-centric ThunderCats show is “SJWs ruining everything” and the exact same thing as “updating” a politically-charged comic to more modern politics.
 
Sorry, but I can’t take ANYTHING you say seriously anymore. And I already had trouble taking you seriously before.

@Jarkes  
While I do agree with you the political argument is a bunch of bs
 
@Cyborg_pony does have a point people are tired of cartoon network rebooting these classic characters into caricatures of the originals these shows are supposed to be for an entire generation and years later (or when there in there early teens) do you honestly think these shows will stick with them for years to come
 

 
 
And before you say anything I’m on both sides of the argument I understand how both sides feel about this and while some of Cyborg_ponys points made no since I could still see where he was coming from  
so I don’t just paint everyone who thinks the reboot isn’t good as a bunch of nostalgia driven cry babies trying to recapture there childhood
 
PS:I’m not talking about you I’m referring to the cartoon reviews oh say such things

@Spike fancy
 
To be perfectly honest, like many things, people on both sides of this stuff have acted like assholes. It’s kind of annoying.
 
I’m optimistic about this show, but some people are going too far in their attempts to defend it. And I probably have in some cases too. So sorry for that.
 
And on the opposite side, some people are going way too far in expressing their dislike of what they’ve seen of the show so far.

@Cyborg_pony  
Dude, seriously. Don’t bother.

@Spike fancy  
Actually, I don’t know if TCR will be heavily politicized or not, as you said I can see why people would think that.
 
To me, this looks lazy and with zero effort in both artwork and dialog.
 
There’s not much for people to be optimistic about when the main character looks like this:  
 
and speak as though he’s lived in a sheltered bunker away from everything and everyone his entire life.
 
 
@Anonycat  
I will bother.

@Cyborg_pony  
Every time I see a screenshot of Roar like the one you posted, I can’t help but think that they no longer look like cats in that art style. I’ve joked in another thread that they look more like bears, but really, I don’t think they look like anything. Now they’re just generic furry creatures with pointy ears.

And remember, you literally can’t say anything bad about the redesign because the cringy contrarians always will find a reason to bitch and silence people.  

@Anonycat  
The fatphobia claim isnt even accurate either since that’s all muscle. I do like his take on it though it looks good.

@Background Pony #1272  
Generic is putting is milady.
 
I could draw better then this! Hell, it looks like something I would have drawn as a child!
 
The concept art for the past iterations shows life.
 
 
 
 
 
They show the characters, how they act and think.
 
The new one, they’re just… blobs. To be whatever the creators deem them at the time.
 
Their themes also contributated
 
Just listen to that. You know he’s a badass with something like that playing!
 
or even the nobility of their personalities.

@Anonycat  
Dude he just a redesigned the character because the artist didn’t like the shows style quiet the fatphobia bs

@Anonycat  
You know when they start using phobes and isms there’s some skullduggery afoot.
 
_{I really like that word. :3}

@Spike fancy  
Contrarians will grasp at any straws to keep being contrarians, piss people off, create trouble by merely existing and then gush all over their “internet victory.”  
It’s all what they do, and all what they ever will do.

@Background Pony #1272  
TBH the 80’s version looked more like a hair metal band with a cat theme that humanoid cats

@Kolbjorn  
It was the 80’s. Bad hair was a staple of the era.

@Kolbjorn  
At least you could tell they were supposed to be based on cats.

@Anonycat

@Anonycat  
Leon-O is supoused to be a leon, Felines in the wild are slim, muscular and agile, even the tiger who is the heaviest wild cat. They are designed to move fast and strike hard, you can even see that on some house cats. the thin, angular desing on the second drawing shows more that idea of a fast, agile predator.

@Spike fancy
 
Yeah, that’s what I was talking about regarding some of the people trying to defend it going too far.

@Kolbjorn  
 

 
Lion-O looks like a lion to me.
 
The only one you can really nit-pick about that is Panthro who in most iterations is built like a tank.

@Kolbjorn  
Lion-O is a young figther so it makes sense for him and the others to have a lean build.  
Panthro is the exception since he’s older and so he has more meat and muscle around his bones.

I love this idea that people are being “deliberately contrarian” regarding this.
 
It’s like the idea that someone could genuinely be interested in something that others aren’t is a foreign concept.
 
I see this a lot regarding certain things, especially on this site.

@Anonycat  
I went onto Twitter to find the original tweet, and I saw that the guy behind that drawing and tweet drew more ThunderCats art, and it looks awesome.

@Background Pony #1272  
Yeah he’s a pretty good artist
