Previews look great! I've been looking forward to this episode since the episodes summaries revealed Pumyra was going to be in it

**VZX** · April 25, 2012, 04:57pm

I wonder why Wilykit ans Wilykat are hardly ever referred to by their names. Once in a while, they call them "Kit" or "Kat", but I never hear "Wilykit" or "Wilykat". Even in the flashback their parents didn't call them anything.

**Mr. Shokoti** · April 25, 2012, 05:41pm

I just saw the last episode & I'm in the minority. I didn't like it. First of all, why are so many of the heroes utter jerks on this show? Panthro & Cheetara not only have little patience for these kids, they pull a page from All Star Batman & force them to find their own food with a threat of sleeping in the wild. Also, why didn't the Wilys ever try to see if their mother & siblings survived the Mutant attack?

Honestly, while this show does have some good episodes, it's so uneven I really don't think I'll miss it much if it's cancelled. It breaks my heart that it went from a show I loved with its early episodes to something akin to MYP's MOTU. Imo there was so much potential wasted.

**JonWes** · April 25, 2012, 05:54pm

They were just trying to be tough on them and teach them a hard lesson. In their view, the only way to survive was to hunt now that they had to fend for themselves and without any civilization around them. To be honest, I thought the fact that Kit and Kat managed a way around it was a little bit silly in realistic terms. It was kind of nice, I suppose, but what are the chances the nice pretty animals you save are going to lead you to a tree full of food? And fruit isn't the same thing as meat as far as sustenance! For a second I thought they were going to kill the ugly animal that attacked them. I'm glad they didn't because that would be a funny message - don't kill nice looking things, but go to town on the ugly ones.

As for why they didn't go after the Mutants, they have been pretty busy on their quest. I hope this was set-up to see them reunited with their family down the road though.

Their quest was to find that storybook city. All they've done is tag along with Lion-O and his group. If I was on a trip & heard some bomb had gone off where my parents lived, I'd at least be curious to know if they were alive. I can't tell if the Wilys already knew their family's fate when they joined the team or it is just poor writing. The idea that they have time for joyriding on flying skateboards but never once felt the urge to have Lion-O at least use his "sight beyond sight" is ridiculous to me.

**JonWes** · April 25, 2012, 06:29pm

Oh, I meant Lion-O's quest to get all the stones for the Infinity Gauntlet or whatever. I'll admit, I do think the show has felt a bit aimless.

As for what you're saying, it's not a bad point about them having Lion-O at least check up on them.

**Shadow-Ra** · April 25, 2012, 10:44pm

Here's Pumyra Attachment 75506

**Bonehead** · April 26, 2012, 09:11pm

This week's episode looks good. Pumyra...

**MegaGearMax** · April 27, 2012, 01:55pm

Here is Lion-O's mom. She's featured in episode 17 "Native Son". We had a rough name, Leona. But it was never spoken in the show. And I don't know that we had it cleared through legal.

More art is here!

**markatisu** · April 27, 2012, 02:10pm

This is my favorite, I hope he makes it back into the show since he should still be alive

**MegaGearMax** · April 27, 2012, 02:37pm

I hope ALL the new ThunderCats join the others.

I always hate it when a character who I think SHOULD join the main party doesn't for some reason.

Well who are we missing just Bengali right? From the original series after this weekend we either know the whereabouts or have seen the entire group but him

Lynx-O was a General, and if I remember correctly he was higher than Panthro and Grune so I assume if he is still breathing he would join up the minute Lion-O asked.

**Thatman** · April 27, 2012, 02:40pm

So we pretty much just need Bengali to show up somewhere at this point?

Edit: Mark beat me to it by a second!

Anyone wanna guess he and lynxo are in the next ep?

**JonWes** · April 28, 2012, 02:55pm

Though this episode was great. The introduction of Pumyra went well, and finally we have a character in Dobo who represents the dogs in an interesting way.

**Hordak Alpha** · April 29, 2012, 01:05am

A pretty decent episode from where I sit. Hopefully, Pumyra and the eventual proper introductions of Lynx-O and Bengali will have these characters join the cast. My current theory brings up the point of the cat slaves in Mount Plundarr and the ones rescued will probably try and help the Thundercats rebuild their civilization ala Cat's Lair. It is about time they get their home base in some form.

**gbagok** · April 29, 2012, 06:58am

That was pretty good--I thought for sure Dobo was Doberlord!

Pumyra hating Lion-O because he'd apparently abandoned their people was great but I wish there had been more mention of the other Thunderans all along--Lion-O sounded like the coward she thought he was with his answer about running to fight another day. It wasn't quite that simple, I mean it's not like he was lord when it all started. His father died! Anyway, not a lot of time for all that in their conversation.

I felt bad for WilyKit and WilyCat. They got outsmarted by a racoon(?) after last week being told they needed to learn to fend for themselves even though they were runaways who'd been living on the street for some time. No respect, these kids get! I'm looking forward to Mount Plundar, but I also hope we see them get their stuff back. Or maybe they can just turn up saying they took care of the thief, followed by a small burp from each.

**Tundra_Torque** · April 29, 2012, 09:53am

I was excited to see Mount Plundar at the end of the episode. Dobo was an interesting character, perhaps a bit more interesting than Pumrya. I hope that she sticks around and her character is more fully developed.

**Darkspecter** · April 30, 2012, 02:09am

I liked the last episode. Good ending, too! I wonder if Vultureman will be in control of Mount Plun-Darr? Then all the mutants would be on the show and (possibly) all the Thundercats!

**markatisu** · April 30, 2012, 02:27am

Episode titles and descriptions are out and we are going to see a certain evil villain really soon

**13977** · April 30, 2012, 06:35am

Fans have been speculating weather he would actually be in the episode or not ever since the episode titles were revealed awhile back, so I'm glad to hear the episode descriptions confirm this

Also hoping Lynx-O and Bengali might be slaves in the mines.

Yeah I though the same dude.

am i the only one looking forward to snarfer? yes? okay...

if pumyra and the others don't join lion-o, i hope they form a splinter group to help take down mumm-ra's forces. i suppose going back home to rebuild thundera would be cool too.

**Pixel Dan** · April 30, 2012, 10:49am

I also really liked this episode. Dobo was an awesome character, and I really liked Pumyra as well. I definitely hope she's actually with the team now. And I too hope they find Lynx-o and Bengali next. The only thing that sucks about that is that we probably won't get a new Bengali action fgiure, so I still won't have one.

**Dr Kain** · April 30, 2012, 11:10am

So I watched the last three episodes and I have to say they were somewhat disappointing. They felt rushed. The Tygra episode was too easy, the Kit and Kat episode was pointless, and the Pumyra episode was too quick.

Both the Tygra one and Pumyra one felt like they should have been two parters. Or, they should have gotten rid of the Kit and Kat subplot in The Pit and just focused on Pumyra and Lion-O.

I'm the frst to bash this show, because I think the people who are in charge don't know the first thing about the thundercat franchise and what made the original work so well.. But I liked these last three shows....
