CBR: CCI: The "ThunderCats" Premiere

[Eliseu Gouveia]

I'm sure there are cats outside Thundera.

And I´m not entirely convinced every cat in Thundera got killed.

Reminds me of Spectacular Spider-Man.

I haven't watched this show since late August, so can you tell me if they cut down on the number of filler episodes in the new batch of episodes, and that most, if not all of the new eps focus on the main plot? The filler eps that came out immediately after the amazing premiere caused me to lose interest in keeping up with the show.

Neither am I. I vaguely recall it being said in episode 3 by one of the lizard soldiers that the citizen Cats were imprisoned. Only Claudius' soldiers and clerics were killed.

I'm just realizing it started back up...how many new episodes have aired so far?

[Legato]

Gotta say Lion-O and Tygra's parents were jerks. No wonder Tygra had such resentment towards Lion-O

I really thought the mom was going to assure Tygra he's still there son, blah, blah when Lion-O was born. And Claudus didn't have any emotions when telling Tygra what happened to the mom. Really weird.

When I saw the premiere for this, I thought this show was going to be epic. It's still enjoyable, but hasn't lived up to that at all.

Claudus pretty much say" Your mother's dead son and your brother will be king instead of you, deal with it" Not in those exact words but he might aswell. His mothers last words didn't help either " My pri...my darling" It was like at that moment she reminded herself that Tygra isn't her real son and now that she had Lion-O she can drop the act

Baby Tygra was the cutest thing ever. When Lion-O's mum (what was her name?) died, the look on Tygra's little face was so heartbreaking that I almost cried. What exactly happened to the tiger people at the end there?

I think they sort of got the death/peace they should have had long ago. Sort of ascended to heaven. But I'm not sure.

Makes one want to give the poor guy a hug

I wouldn't go that far. She had to catch herself and remind herself that he can't be King anymore, since they have a blood heir. Therefore she can't really call him prince. I don't think it had any effect on her love for him. And since she died giving birth, there's no evidence that she would have put him on a bus effectively, while doting on Lion-O.

And I get the feeling that Claudus' words were culturally influenced by their beliefs. Their talk of being called home to the gods, etc, made me feel like their culture created a system similar to heaven where they accept death and believe the dead are in a better place. He said Tygra would understand one day, so he was probably thinking that Tygra moving on would come naturally as he grew up in that culture.

Legato I don't think it was the mother being harsh, it was probably hard on her having to say that to her son and instead of lying to him she was truthful because she felt tygra would understand as he grew up, sad as it is

explains his attitude towards Lion-O though

(has missed mad episodes)

Thats one way to look at it as far as the mother is concerned. It is still messed up that Tygra believed that he might one day become king but the moment Lion-O was born their parents gave that title to Lion-O without a moments hesitation. I didn't mind the "mother was called home" comment as it relates to a comforting comment in that a dead loved one has gone to heaven but it was the" Gods have given us a future king" comment that sounded a bit harsh and said it at the worst time.

If you read stories featuring monarchies, you'll see these kinds of things happen.
