It still follows the journey of Lion-O as it did, but this time instead of Lion-O being young and aging in a pod aboard a spaceship, he actually looks his age.

The show still takes place on Third Earth, but Thundera is now a Kingdom that falls, not a separate planet, which works out very well with the fuller backstory and new canon created here. Putting familiar characters aside a moment, let’s talk about the changes and tweaks. You’ll also hear a very familiar voice in Larry Kenny, the original voice of Lion-O who returns to the franchise as Claudus, Lord of the ThunderCats and father to Lion-O. Bengali is the only exception not appearing in this version, which is probably more about it only being one season than oversight.

THUNDERCATS 2011 SERIES
Yes, yes, the main characters abound, but also Lynx-O, Pumyra, the Robear Berbils, the Ancient Spirits of Evil, Slythe, Jackalman, Monkian, Vultureman, Ratar-O, Grune the Destroyer, and more that were lesser series regulars. Honestly, the only thing I can find to be upset about in regards to this reboot is that it was limited to just one 26 episode season when it clearly had the potential for so much more. Now, I may not consider myself a superfan, but I can certainly appreciate the old connections, as much as the new contextualization. So what if I’m eight years late, we can’t all watch everything in the moment and I just wasn’t thinking about ThunderCats in 2011 but when I recently saw it available on VRV, I thought I would give it a shot.īefore I get too deep, let me say that this review comes from someone who thoroughly enjoyed the original, both when I was a child and when I was able to catch the hour block on Cartoon Network in my college days. Well, sit back and let me tell ya about a version that’s more like “Game Of Thrones.”įirstly, the 2011 ThunderCats reboot is really good. Some of them wondering “Where’s the badass version? I’m just not into this cute stuff.” Ok, maybe it’s unfair to dismiss Roar without seeing an episode but many fans of the original are down on the new direction and style for the franchise. If seeing the ads for the upcoming ThunderCats Roar has you feeling down… The 2011 reboot that you probably paid no attention to, might be for you.
