ThunderCats Roar

So, what do you think?

Oh dear …

[Plastic Percy]

That’s the worst top knot I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something.

jesus christ, why does it look like that?

[International Debris]

Because it’s 2018. It’s just Adventure Time / Steven Universe copycat style.
I wasn’t a big fan of the show as a kid, but I always thought it *looked* incredible. Sad that that’s been lost.

Got to love the comments full of “SJWs, Tumblr, soy boy”. The phrase “indistinguishable from parody” comes to mind.

I think:

… that it’s not aimed at me. Or at anyone else posting on this site. I won’t be watching it.
… that the original cartoon had a fantastic intro and bad guy concept but otherwise wasn’t really that good.
… that the character designs are definitely following a currently-popular stylistic trend, which you are free to dislike, but that doesn’t mean “All modern cartoons look the same.” (And no, said art style should not be given the meaningless label “CalArts style.”)
… that people are free to dislike it – or be perplexed at its mere existence – for perfectly valid reasons, and it’s also valid to compare it unfavourably to the original and 2011 versions.
… that some of the outraged reactions to it are ridiculous (particularly, it should go without saying, those that have been flinging abuse at the people working on it). I mean, the person who says “I can think of few things I’ve experienced that I hate more than that video” in a reply to one of the links below has obviously never seen Red Dwarf VIII.
… that the producer’s hairstyle in that video is very worrying.
… that the Twitter response to the gatekeeping haters has been quite amusing:

"Cartoon Network sucks now because all the characters look the same"

More seriously:

I was studying to get into animation when a big very clear shift away from serious more story-driven cartoons was happening in the industry. It really fucked me up for a while because all of my favorite shows and the types of shows I wanted to make were being cancelled.

Sorry, this thread (among others) fell victim to WordPress deciding to give newly approved posts from the backlog today’s publish date. Please move along, there’s nothing to see here.

Someone rubbed Wilyklit up the wrong way.

The thundercats are loose(ly based on the originals in the same way as sewage is loosely based on food).
