ThunderCats!

While I will not admit that age is getting to me, I did forget that the reboot of the ThunderCats was coming up. Well I actually remembered that part, but I didn't realize it was nearing. So fast forward to a few days ago and I am seeing that I had missed the premiere and it was going into it's third episode already.

So I finally did get the chance to watch the first 2 episodes of the ThunderCats reboot this morning. And I was not disappointed at all. As a matter of fact, I thought it was freaking awesome! I cannot stress this enough! I will admit that I was afraid this new series was going to follow closer to the original, but this reboot is almost an entirely new beast and goddamn it all, it is awesome!

I mean I like the style that this was drawn in, which reminds me somewhat of Avatar: The Last Airbender (which isn't a bad thing). The music is great and always a point of interest for me is the characters. I was surprised to see that the characters were being built up and their personalities were shown up almost immediately. I forget sometimes that these cartoons aren't stuck in the 80's anymore and I am glad for this change. I would attempt to summarize the characters, but I think it is easiest to just watch the first 2 episodes and everything becomes clear.

And I think that is what I am ultimately liking about these old cartoons being made anew so far. The episodes are not wasted and everything is being used for a purpose, which is a far cry from the old shows these reboots were based off of.

So anyway, to make a long story short...

New freaking episode tonight! And with how things ended in episode 2, I wanna see how this team comes together because it is nothing like I remember from the original series. I cannot wait!
