...remember, if we ignore it, it will go away and never bother us again.


But are they serious? It's not cool to ruin a classic! D: Someone, tell me this is still in consideration, and is not being done for sure yet!

[FunkyBlackMage]

You're fucking kidding me. Is there nothing that can't be completely bastardized?

And once again my childhood gets gutted from behind with a rusty shiv.

Is there a single current WB cartoon that doesn't suck and/or steal from other cartoons?

[greed]

You know how someone posted that cartoon a while back

"The internet, raping your childhood since 1996"

Well this is

"Corporate America, raping your childhood in the arse since 1776"

[Angelfire Blackwolf]

I'm going to reserve judgement on the idea of a remake until actual proof comes out. So far from reading that link all I got was an 'I heard it from this other guy' rumour. There's no actual proof, no concept art nothing...

[neyo the king]

WB animation is remaking the Thundercats as an animated TV series.

Joy abound! WB remakes are ALWAYS good news!

The animation style is whimsical, Americanized-anime, along the lines of Teen Titans.

No. Just no. If I'm watching Thundercats, I ain't gonna have no Giant Sweatdrops on Mumm-Ra.

The setting is modern-day Earth, in a major city (possibly LA)
The Thundercats are all teenagers.

... Oh, gods, why? Why tennagers? Why is it always teenagers? And what's with the setting? *shakes head in shame*

Their leader is Snarf (!) who is now a mystic with a "third" eye.

This is where I stopped reading, except when I saw the words "rock band", then I closed the window. Using only my rage.

This is a joke. At least, I hope it's a joke. If it's not, then it is a sad day to be on Earth.

A sad day indeed...

That was flarecobra, in case you were interested. :P

Funky BM asked if there was anything that couldn't be perverted beyond recognition. Not further proof that anything can & will be put in a tutu and told to sing rock ballads off-key.

Hey, its completely on-topic, so feel free to continue, just lay off quoting Funky each time. He's suffered enough.

(And here's the point I'd insert a link to something like Loonatics Unleashed, but I started this thread, so I've already filled my quota.)

When you think they can't get any lower then they dig beyond rock bottom. -_-; Seriously, rock band? Snarfer in the lead??? That's just wrong, peeps.

[greed]

First, thanks Nikose.
Second,
Loonatics Unleashed
SWB

You mentioned it. I wikied it. And paraphrasing one of the great works of our time

And he was never happy again
Third, I go cry in a corner. For 10 years.
FUCK YOU SWB

at the WB theames department

"Okay sir, we were on a role with yu-gi-oh, now we need something to follow it up!"

"I got it, classic cartoon remakes are all the rage now! Were going to come out with Thunder cats, only this time add the word X-TREAME over it and just make it stupid as possible"

"Sir that will suck and we'll lose ratings!"

"of course Simon! but then we release Classic thundercats and make Billions!"

"You're a genius sir!"

"Of course I am! now go get me some OPIUM!

[Mesden]

Man, everyone here's all "Oh man! this sucks supah hard!"

I mean, I remember Thundercats and I know I used to love it, but still, can't anyone here see the potential?

I mean, imagine how often you could laugh at this thing! It'd be like "CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS!" where they fire crocodiles from catapults with parachutes to take out a military base!

Comdey gold!

I suggest you sit down & *WATCH* an episode of Loonatics Unleashed, and tell me how fun a ride that was. Bad & corny doesn't equate to fun unless its very campy, and even then it isn't a given.

Given WB's recent history, this will be painful to watch and Crow & Tom are nowhere to be had.

I dunno. That Brooklyn accent always made me giggle.

Then again, I can make fun of just about anything...

[Fifthfiend]

I spit on this with a thousand tongues.

"Of course I am! now go get me some OPIUM!

There's no cause slandering opium by blaming it for television network executives.

[Buddha Fett]

Someone is going to get something very sharp and unpleasent through more than a few orifices for this one...

[Aerozord]

This is a joke. At least, I hope it's a joke. If it's not, then it is a sad day to be on Earth.

A sad day indeed...
*sighs* sorry man but

That's not a typo, or a joke. They are rockin' cats in their present form


*pulls out nuclear launch button* should I just end it quick?

[greed]

*pulls out nuclear launch button* should I just end it quick?

No, mankind deserves to go slowly and painfully for this one. Break out the ebola and Giga-AIDS!

[Salookanana]

I always thought the Thundercats were a bit cheesy. Now they just made them retarded.

The setting, ages, SNARF >:0, animation, rock band, concept, etc. all sound like they were dug up from the deepest pits of Boardroom Hell, where all creative properties are murdered by ice hearted executives.

And why does Mumra need wings?! His evilness was vauge and odd enough, now they throw in wings?

[Desdraftlit]

They could have made it worse. Mumra could be a "ThunderDog" or something.
But a Mummy Evil Cat thing with WINGS? Oh hell no, I'm blaming Bill Gates for this one. :stressed:

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

STOP THE PAIN, PLEASE STOP THE PAIN!:gonk:

This thread is hurting my already abused and underfed inner child...

[Intern Nin]

Oh hell no, I'm blaming Bill Gates for this one. :stressed:
Okay, I don't see what Bill Gates has to do with crappy remakes of classic 80's cartoons. Is it like some kind of conspiracy? Could you perhaps explain the connection between Gates and this show? Cause' I just don't see it.
