I miss the ThuderCats 2011 cartoon. It was beyond awesome. The thing I really enjoyed about it was seeing Lion-O fall down and get back up again as he learned from his journey and grew into a leader. Of course, some genius decided that it would be a good idea to make ThunderCats Roar instead of finishing the 2011 cartoon. Whatever. I'm not bitter. (Yes I am.)
@@falconole8633 You should. It aired on Cartoon Network on Saturdays as a part of the Toonami block, and it had an anime-like art style. The story was a bit more straight to the point than the original, even with the side adventures and monster/villain of the week stuff. It ended on a cliffhanger if memory serves because action cartoons were still getting the shaft back then. Hell, they still kind of are now. It's pure bullshit plain and simple.
@@falconole8633 the 2011 show was basically the originally, but more modern and serious. It looked seriously awesome (and I'm told it was) but I never watched because it was canceled and I didn't want to get hype about something I knew would never conclude
I break into my Marty Mar dance whenever your intro drops!💯 Lion-O was my dude. Erbody was fawning over he-man growing up, I was always the one rooting for Lion-O.
Lion-O is good but his strength is NOT matched with Panthro. Panthro once dead lifted the thunder tank just to prove a point so imagine if he was pissed 💪👍💪
You'll forget the thundercubs part 1 episode when Mumm-ra went to new thundera and Lion-o & pantro paid him a visit and he wasn't there the ancient spirits statues tried to crush them but did catch pantro but wide up getting pinned lucky for him and the last one was landing towards pantro and Lion-o caught the ancient spirits of evil statue in mid air.
I knew that Lion-O would get a 10 rating. THANK YOU NEW SAGE for this video. Now, it makes me wish for a new Thundercats animated show. I will also be a fan of the 80s cartoon. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such fond memories.
Lion-O was the man (you know what I mean...lol) of the Thundercats. I did like how they would try to make the storylines to keep us in the frame of mind that he was really a kid who was in a man's body; in other words, he had a lot to learn, but his Thundercat family had his back and he had theirs...yes I loved the Thundercats...hooooooooooooo! I say again bro, and again and again but very much so mean it each and every time; you can't help but bring the greatness...again, every time. May the blessings of GOD continue to shine in you, keep bring us this greatness, I love it and I appreciate you for it; keep being and doing you, my brother. All praise, glory and blessings be to the most high, awesome, loving, almighty, true and living GOD for all of HIS blessings that HE bestows upon us HIS family in CHRIST JESUS in the name of our Lord and savior JESUS CHRIST by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Again, I mean and say to you, I continue to and will always pray and ask of GOD that HE bless and always...forever shine upon / within you my brother New Sage (GOD bless you my brother truly in JESUS CHRIST name). Stay encouraged, keep inspiring all to greatness as you do and stay frosty cause they don't get cooler than you...one love peace my brother.
*Thundercats* deserve a live-action film adaptation for the longest time. I've seen fan CGI editing on various movies of sword and sorcery it's cool in all, but ain't nothin like the real thing. I think I saw a fan casting of *The Thundercats* on TH-cam several years ago. I need to get into film school so I can make this a reality and say "Fine...I'll do it myself."
I would like to see this come to a movie but watching the original as a kid I just fear they would mess it up as they did to He-Man. Truly heartbreaking when you see your childhood memories get ruined by people who either do not care or have no solid budget to put into such awesome pieces of work.
Can you do a video on Cardiac? He's a character from the Spidey titles (Amazing & Spectacular, if I'm not mistaken...), and he showed up around 30ish years ago...
One of my favorite cartoons ever growing up in the 80s. I have the complete series on DVD. Also I always thought that Mel Gibson looks a lot like Lion-O.
I remember when Lion-o was portrayed as an 8 year old in the body of an adult, was such a weird concept, though not as weird as baby lion-o and snarf from the reboot which felt very reminiscent of Tom and Jerry cartoons.
Lion-O the O in o.g. The old heads named a whole generation of 80s babies after this show calling us "young thunder cats" back then. Guess we're grown thunder cats now lol.
before the video even starts can I just say this is the most bad ass thumbnail to replace my memory of childhood smiling tv version that I remember him as. now I'm at 1:51 did he go blind in left eye???? or just a fan series since I see HE-Man in it? now to go enjoy the rest :)
Facts. But aren’t both Panthro and Tigra bigger than him? Panthro is officially the physically strongest and considered best/most skilled warrior-right after Jaga.
@@blaxpoitation8528 I think Panthro is actually smallest, at least amongst the males. He is physically stronger than all the others, though. I couldn't find exact measurements of anyone else outside of Lion-O
I like the 2011 Thundercats version of Liono because not only did I grow up with him but also he has more character and personality. In the 2011 series Liono was a young scientist interested in technology and he was competing with his brother for their father's approval. He was childish and insecure and would always get knocked but always get back up.
@@NewSage Dad here. I just wanted. Yeah, amazing review. Just to love ThunderCats after school in the 80s. Kats my age (50s) still think the intro to ThunderCats is the best intro of any animation ever. Great work, The Sage. About to watch. your review on Panthero.. the brotha....
No I think the perfect person to play Liono in live action would be Brenton Thwaits from Netflix Titians. You can totally imagine him in the role with the make up and prosthetics
See videos like these are why i want perfect predator if u bring a thundercats vid out of nowhere i could only imagine the crazy animals u would bring to the forefront but aside from the small rant my dude i hope all is well and as always ur appreciated amd also as always perfect predator!!!!
@@NewSage yeh when you started to say Thunder Thunder, in my head I was like 'I really hope he doesn't fuk this up' and sweet sweet baby Jeebus you did great!, so happy you coverd Lion-O, I first saw this cartoon around 89 when so was 4, so he's a fuking legend to me, him, Optimus Prime and He-Man were my hero's, who were yours?
Jeez, I watched the cartoons as a kid, and i knew NONE of this. I just assumed they were just explorers that fell to a random planet. Lion-O just happened to sleep for years, and that's why he looked older. Lion-O was leader because he was the main main character, that was it haha. Glad I sub'd this channel. I'm getting a wealth of information
Needed more specifics on powers.how fast? How strong? In the vs Heman comic at one point he told his sword to give him power beyond power and fought with equal strengrh to Heman. His endurance and recovery from injury also need brought up given how much electricity hes been hit with and fought through and how fast hes recovered from stabs in the past. Just some comparatives to gauage him is all I suggest adding.
Not really all traits. He has traits that beat the others. Panthro's strength was defeated by Lion-O's compassion, Cheetara's speed was beaten by his stamina and refusal to quit. The Kittens cunning was outsmarted by his charisma. Tygra tried to use mind games, Lion-O has great judgment and learns from experience. And then we have the Trial of Evil which is pretty self explanatory.
I... Fuckin... Loved... This show as a child. This was like naruto or one piece or saitama for us back then. Shiiiiiiit. My mom was a marksman in the army, like a str8 up soldier. SHE.... WOULD WATCH THE WHOOOOOLE LINE UP With me and big bro. Silverhawks Transformers Go bots M.a.s.k. Smurfs G.I. JOE ....jem🙄 Rainbow brite Ronin warriors Carebears. But the best was thundercats and silverhawks Handsdown. Great video. Almost dropped a tear fam. Salute
😅👊🏽 I feel you, bro! You hit the WHOLE line-up, Hoss! I had, completely, forgotten about the Go-Bots! But yeah... ThunderCats and Silverhawks were the 🐐 's. Hands-down!
Now, I love the Thundercats as much as anyone. I'm old enough to have watched the series when it was new. But please explain what, "Low to medium, vast superhuman strength" means exactly. None of those adjectives make any sense used together. Unless you're describing Lion O's strength levels as a child, young adult, and mature adult.
Yeah. I realized that this was a bit convoluted. 😅👍🏼 If someone has any abnormal strength, I tend to say either low-level, moderate, or vast superhuman strength. For Lion-O I said that he has "moderate to low-level vast" strength. Basically, implying that he has moderate (mid-tier) strength levels of maybe 40-60 tons. But depending on the writing or storyline, he may occasionally be shown lifting slightly more; Approaching "vast" levels... Which tend to be characters that can lift 100-plus tons. 🤓👍🏼 But, honestly, I may have over-complicated that one! 😅
I'm glad in the 2011 version that they got rid of Snarf as a major talking character. He irritated me in the t.v. series like Scrappy Doo in Scooby Doo.
I miss the ThuderCats 2011 cartoon. It was beyond awesome. The thing I really enjoyed about it was seeing Lion-O fall down and get back up again as he learned from his journey and grew into a leader.

There was a 2011 show??? I grew up on the OG show & had no interest in roar. Gotta track down the 2011 show now.

The original show was great, but the so called new version that came out years ago had good animation, but a weak storyline just my opinion.
@@banethereckoning2638 That's understandable.
Thundercats used to be my favorite Cartoon when I was a kid
Lion-O is great,but Panthro was a badass
Not to mention that Panthro's theme music is all swagger.
Yeah Panthro was definitely a total badass
Skim boards
2011 was one of those times when a revisit to the classic was extremely well done. Wish it could have continued. Lion O & the Thundercats are dope.
Bring back Thundercats 2011! We deserve closure!
That's a definite!!!

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such fond memories.
As much as I love Panthro, Lion-O did outmatch him in his trial of strength against him in the original series.
This video is long overdue. Plus he beyond deserves the rating you have given him.
I’m so glad you are doing the Thundercats!!!!
My husband says, ThunderCats has the greatest intro of any cartoon.
I love the artwork you find for your videos
Squad up!!! Upon a time my brother and I had the original toy line up. Great memories.

LionO is the bomb I miss thundercats probably was my favorite cartoon of all time.
Thunder cats is one of my favorites! Thank you fir showing it some love
Who else raced home from school to watch this epic TV show back in 85. If you did...HOOOOOO!!!!
I can't wait to see you do a video on "Mumm-Ra" He was always an awesomely sinister character next to Skeletor and Nightmare from Soul Calibur.
I have to put Monstar from Silver Hawks up there as well.
Mumm-Ra used too creep me out as a kid lol
Mum-Ra was the weakest of the big '80 villains as all you needed to defeat him was a mirror. Outside of that he was still pretty cool.
