Would you like to see "Thundercats" make a comeback?

I wouldn't mind seeing this franchise make a comeback. Provided that it doesn't end on a cliffhanger like the last series did.

@user-vm8qc3vz2w So true 👍 I always felt like Mumm-ra was the one who made Thundercats Roar to ruin the great name of the REAL True Thundercats. Heck, I didn't even watch Thundercats Roar that's how bad it was.
I’m 44 and a loved 80’s cartoons. But I’m still hoping to see a live action Robotech movie in my lifetime

We had the best cartoons #genX
80s & 90s cartoons kicked ass compared to today, i'm 41 now & still love those years of cartoons
This is when I could not get enough cartoons and I still watch them to this day, with Brave Star, Paw Paw Bears, the real G Force guardians of the galactic, Tale Spin, Johnny Quest and so much more
Loved watching this in the 80's..along with Super Friends..Spider Man and his Amazing Friends..Dungeons and Dragons..He-Man..Transformers..She-Ra..Jem and the Holograms..and so many more fun cartoons..I miss the 80's cartoon vibe
In the past I would look forward to a ThunderCats movie. Now, I would dread it, since they'll just ruin it to spread "The Message".
I still have my Original ThunderCats action figures. I also have the DVDs that followed the cartoon decades later. The show ran from 1985-89. I'm trying to remember some of the ThunderCats names. Lion-O, Lynx-O, Jaga, Cheetara, Bengali, Panthro, etc. These were all the characters I will never forget and I know there are villains, as well.
We watched this every week because it was so cool and so you need to see these characters. How the heck? Could it be controversial? These mom groups screwed up a lot of stuff, I'm going to protect my child from all things negative even if they're only negative in my head kind of crap! A lot of people were pissed at at how powerful their voices were, so that made me think that somebody in a influential political appointment was listening to these busy bodies.
I watched this until my eyeballs were like dinner plates
This cartoon rules !!
City of gold… Ulysses…banana man , British cartoon banana man … centurions … the list goes on… good old days ❤
This was a good segment. Hopefully, Adam Wingard's project is still alive and moving forward, despite my sense that his vision for them won't be something that totally connects with me. My prefs aren't important, I just want to see the franchise revived for a new generation of potential fans.
A lot of people probably don't even know that in the Thundercat hierarchy, it was Tigra who was the second in command 🐅.

@@abreviews2559 Nope, it was in the whole series as a whole. Lionel said it in a particular episode that tygra would be the new lord of the Thundercats in the case that something would happen to Lionel. This is what makes tygra the second in command of the Thundercats.
The 80s thundercats was and is the greatest version to date Edit: thundercats roar is a garbage fire and does shame to the thundercats ip
Ok, so who else is singing the theme song?
I still would have loved a live action movie 🎬 of Thundercats! I'm almost 40 and I grew up on Thundercats! 🥰
Back when cartoons when they was real
I will never count "Thundercats ROAR" as a part of the Thundercats property as it is a bastardization of the property as a whole. There is nothing redeeming about "Thundercats ROAR" and much like "Teen Titans Go" its a garbage show with idiotic humor to entertain those with low intelligence and low morals. IMO
Snarf Snarf....
Just bring it back already
I'm 48 and still love watching this alongside the Transformers, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Voltron, the Silverhawks and the Real Ghostbusters.
I only remember most of the earlier episodes being shown on BBC TV when I was young, didn't realise it was ever cut.
I loved this series and it actually helped mould my personality

Man I wished thundercats 2011 reboot would been revived and continuing and renewed new seasons just like revival of samurai jack young justice and Star Wars the clone wars 4:45 5:41
Im still salty about the remake series for thundercats and He-man from the mid 2000's? I believe thats when it was... idk, the one where they were essentially ninja's. I didnt like that snarf didnt talk however. Now the He-man remake from the same time was also well done and isk why they were so readily canceled.
We do not speak of Thundercats Roar. Even children didn't like it. That's how bad it was. The 2011 reboot actually wasn't that bad if I'm being honest.
I show my 7 year old daughter all these old cartoons ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was never cancelled. It was a complete run
Today's make-up and political affiliation of these type of fanatic activist groups may differ from those in the seventies and eighties, but one thing stayed the same: it's still about overly zealous drama queens rallying against BS
Man i miss this show
Everybody grew up, and went separately. They were no longer an enigma, but became separate anomalies... not one soul.
I would still wanna see a thundercats movies seriously
Terrahawks, M.A.S.K. and Jase and the wheeled warriors plus many others already mentioned 80s cartoons were the greatest. A live action one could be good as long as they don't do a transformers
I really liked these shows when I was a kid now if only silverhawks and centurions got a reboot and a DVD relase of the classic series. Wonder what new animated series will come from all of these 80s gems?
My favorite cartoon! And if it ever did make a “come back”(As it never left for me), I’d love the producers to keep the same animation style, or at least an older looking animation style.
They've got to make a live action Thundercats film, if they do it right it could be great.👍
One ☝🏽 of my childhood favorites I always wondered what happened to this people be sooo soft…
ThunderCats made me strong as a kid, and kept on into my adulthood. Larry Kenney sent me a video message for my wedding. Thank You, ThunderCats. Thank You, Larry.
Thundercats was one of the best 80s cartoons.
I watched the show as a child but I don’t think I ever had any of the toys.
I would love to see the thunder cats
Ljn went out of business before they could get out of the 4 series of figures due to a bad decision of making realistic toy guns (entertech).

Toy guns were quite popular in the 80's and 90's. It was until the New Millenium that they were considered politically incorrect. So it was a roll of the dice, partially
My oldest son loved The Thundercats ... it was one of the few cartoons I allowed him to watch every day ... such a fun show
Now we got sponge Bob yeyyy 🫤
loved the reboot idk why they cancelled it just after one season.
Meanwhile I’m watching C.O.P.S. On Tubi
I loved watching the original Thundercats as a kid and wish wasn't canceled 😢 I admit I liked the 2011 series. As for Thundercats Roar, well....we don't talk about that one cause Mumm-ra created that version of our feline heroes to ruin their reputation as heroes. Darn you Mumm-ra!!!!
I want a live action thundercats to relive my childfaphood.
I loved this wen I was a nipper… I got a couple of tshirts I got from HMV 😂😂
I have my own Thundercats sword and it is heavy too.
I've never seen the original but I loved the 2011 reboot. This franchise is just one of many that deserved so much better: Fantastic Four, The Powerpuff Girls, Winx Club, The Fairy OddParents, DC in general and I can go on all day!

Season 1 is a Lil cheesy but it gets less so over time, its definitely a worth while watch
Only a fool will believe that Thundercats live action film won’t happen. OF COURSE it’s going to happen. And if it’s successful, they’re going to do what they do to everything else : make more & more sequels and ton of merchandise … They’ll milk it until it’s dry… Face it : The magic of the 80’s is long gone. Anyone remember all the excitement when Transformers was first announced in 2006 ? And what’s happened in the past 17 years ? It’s been bastardized. Nobody cares anymore. The industry milks everything dry.
I guess the live action movie is off now oh well
HOOOOOOOOO 😂
You know some of these groups that said cartoons were too violent and just ads for toys. I think these are the type of people who just enjoyed trashing everyone’s childhood and that they had a right to so those guys should just stick it who cares what they think.
Can't stand Lion-o. He constantly starts fights but can't finish them. Then calls for help. The others at some point should say, "Hell no."

It told the truth of the lyran wars, that's why it's canceled. So they came of with the movie avatar, which is a mixture of the lyran war and the war of gaia (Terra, tiamat, earth, Kai). Universal law, is the truth must be told in a free will consciousness, or karmatic energy becomes abundant...
Cancelled what many watched at the time. Some decisions 🤔🤔
They switched the time slot to the am over the afternoons. They tanked this show altogether. But as we learn, all of this stuff is tied to toy sales.
Boooooo , those were the best ever
The final episode of the original series was rushed to hell. would love to see a epic battle between mumm-ra and lion-O
Who the hell is narrating this? What happened to the other guy?
If you think ThunderCats is violent, you clearly have never seen an episode.
ACT has always been a worthless thorn to cartoons as early as the 1960s or so. They were so old fashioned that they just refuse to accept what a lot of kids want- all in the name of holier than thou attitudes of course.
I forgot about this show
So gangsta
