30 years after i enjoyed Thundercats i decided it is time for my 6 years old daughter to get to know them :) and i was not mistaken, she loves them. I was considering He Man but when i look at that cartoon today, im sorry to say but it looks strange and funky. Thundercats cartoon stlye on other side looks 10x better, even great for todays TV standards (at least for me). That intro - just pure epicness.I see alot arguing about wich one is better, He Man or Thundercats... for me that question is no brainer really. On show popularity i guess He Man was more popular, but considering marketing behind it - it doesnt suprise me, but popularity doesnt mean it was better. As for characters and theme...i had He Man toys as kid but when you look at characters and their story/abilities i can feel more connected to Thundercats than He Man and his unlimited power...Thundercats story is (for me) more original and definitly more emotional. 2018 - let your kids today see Thundercats - they will learn more about honor, friendship and whats right or wrong than many other cartoons you can see today.

I loved a lot of little details about this show when I was a kid. I loved Panthro and Tygra having actual professions, Panthro was an engineer and Tygra was an architect and all Thundercats seemed to have some training in metallurgy. Why? because when you are a child you dream to be alike the characters you like and being an engineer, an architect or some kind of "metals specialist" were actual, long run, achievable goals. This is something (BTW) that they share with another 80's Classic: MASK ; where every chapter they made a selection of experts with different expertise areas according to the profile of each mission.Another plus point for the Thundercats is that they had a real origins chapter called "Exodus". Most shows (both animated and live action) don't take the time to give a full story that explains so exquisitely how the adventure started in the first place. Also, calling it "Exodus" like one of the most important books of the Bible and the Kabbalah (even when Kabbalists actually call it Shemot), gave a feeling of importance, a feeling that you were about to watch a really fine story.Are there some things about the Thundercats I didn't like? Well, like many shows I hated that they repeated the same villain over and over. Differently to other fans, for me, the show is 90 percent about the heroes and only 10 or 20 percent about the villains (with some exceptions,of course), and a villain is even less appealing for me if he or she appears too much. Mumm-ra and Lion-0 had many "last battles" and if you ask me they are good in inverse order of appearance; being the actual last battle the less good and the first last battle the best.All the original characters were great in my opinion: Lion-0, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykit and Wilykat, and even Snarf were all good elements of their group. Talking about the three new Thundercats that we got to know later, I think only Linx-O was good enough to become a Thundercat right away, but Pumyra and Bengali weren't so bad either.Talking about the story. like any other show, it liked some episodes better than another. I will try to make some specific reviews for some of them one of these days .Thanks for reading. IMDb Review by David del Real. Mexico City. Mexico. October 9th of 2017. Third Earth (lol!)

Thundercats was the so-called arch rival to He-man: Masters of the Universe. And yet I loved this more than He-man. The cartoon was a mixture of fantasy, sci-fi, action-adventure with a bit of humour thrown in as well. The Thundercats were made up of leader, the young but fearless Lion-O, who wielded the Sword of Omens and his compatriots, Tigra, Cheetara, Panthro and Wily Kit and Wily Kat, not to mention the lovable Snarf. Together they battled against the evil Mum-ra, of whom was the more convincing baddie, in stark contrast to Skeletor from He-man.Thundercats deserves full marks for being original and for having the most inventive-yet interesting characters. The animation may have been a little dodgy at times, but design-wise, they were well drawn and created. The dialogue was at times a little corny to say the least but the show also had episodes where basic morals, values and ethics were highlighted and addressed within the series.This was a great TV show to watch with an equally memorable theme tune to boot! Thundercats, ho!!

I have to admit that i was always in to Transformers and He-man more than Thundercats but it didn't stop me from enjoying it every week after school on TV. Never bought any of the toys but i think it was because i was just slightly too old for it when the toys and TV show came out in the UK. One of the stupid things i noticed in it though was the mutants. They were the most useless bunch of bad guys ever, they always messed everything up from start to finish instead of just messing it up at the end (like most other villains do) and thank god for Mumm-ra who is a pretty decent bad guy. Thundercats is not as preachy as He-man either but it has its similarities with it. A great cartoon which is my 3rd best cartoon show from the 80's. Nice.
