ThunderCats Roar (2020) User Reviews

Terrible cartoon

[mister_mort · 1/10 · 19 August 2020]

What's wrong with Thundercats roar ? Well, it will be a lot easier to tell what works in this terrible remake of a fairly good cartoon from the 80s : the animation.

And the rest ? It just plain suck.

The « art » is atrocious and amateurish at best.

The story is silly.

The characters look like some kind of 6 years old sociopath.

It's not funny

Oh, and who the #### had the bright idea to consider that the story of people surviving the genocide of their species was made for comedy ?

Soulless Wikipedia Cartoon

[timberwolfbrother · 1/10 · 14 January 2020]

The art style is as flat and amateurish as the humor, and all the characters act like 3-year-olds.

2 episodes and this show feels completely devoid of any care or thought, like everything in it was reproduced after skimming Wikipedia. Either the creators hated Thundercats, or they just don't care about it.

The best thing I can say about it is that it feels like a bad mid-2000s NewGrounds cartoon.

Complete crap, no respect for the source material

[skuggvarg · 1/10 · 24 January 2020]

I loved the original Thundercats. I liked the new animé-inspired version too. But this...this is just heresy. Thundercats should be mainly about action, with some humor, and it should look good. This is plain ugly, mostly about humor and overall just silly. If this is what kids want today, then today's kids are STRANGE, I say. The remake of She-Ra was different but still good and it respected the source material. This...looks like it was made for four-year-olds...and made BY four-year-olds! Horrible!

This actually hurt to watch, and the kids ASKED to see something else, because it was "Dumb".

[ZEROspawn · 15 January 2020]

Do you know the feeling seeing a show almost feel like a choir to do?, Well this is actually worse, and even the target demographic feels like that. Maybe if you never have seen anything good, but even free videos on youtube have better story, animation, jokes and voice acting.

This makes me sad to to see how much we cheat the newer generation, they are told this is entertainment for them, and they know it's bad and worthless if they have ever seen anime or older shows like Avatar the Last Airbender. I feel like a species we might have peeked and now it feels like we in the west no longer can make shows, without them looking cheese and cheap. It's insulting to the next generation that this is what they get to see.

Its really really bad probably the worst remake of an 80 toon yet

[jcgamer-96670 · 1/10 · 17 January 2020]

I watched it and it made no sense. it could not even decide who was the villains the mutants or mum ra. I actually thought mum ra was neutral cause he helps lion-o out and then proceeds to attack his friends for no reason. The fact that he is only defeated because of little bears that say his name was just sad and the lion-os voice was aweful super obnoxious and its not worth watching. it felt like the writers dont know what to do with these characters and just make do things to do do things. its a mess and i hope warner media cancels it because this is atrocious and they could do way better with such an established character like the thundercats. it has no soul

Thunder, Thunder, ThunderCRAP NOOO!!

[logime · 1/10 · 6 February 2020]

When it comes to shows, I try to be fair.

I give every show a shot and every show has one chance to prove to me that it is worth my time. I learned the hard way that behind an animation I don't like there might be something great (looking at TMNT 2012, which became my favorite incarnation of TMNT).

When Thundercats Roar got announced, I didn't participate in the (in retrospective) justified internet rage and instead decided to give the show a chance.

I've grown up with 1980s Thundercats and TMNT 1980s and despite my nostalgia, I am well aware that these shows have their flaws, their awesome episodes and their trashy episodes. I've watched the TMNT 2003 and Thundercats 2011 reboots and enjoyed them for what they are.

I've watched the first two episodes of Thundercats Roar and I'm asking myself: Who exactly is this made for? It has the premise of the 1980s series but nothing of the storytelling or amusing corniness that made this show what it is. This show feels like it was made for people with ADHD.

I will not get into the art style (like how they keep getting off model and believe me, I could waste hours on the design alone) but I'll say something about the animation: IF FAN-MADE ANIMATIONS YOU CAN WATCH ON THE WEB FOR FREE HAVE BETTER FIGHT SCENES THAN YOUR CORPERATE-SANCTIONED SHOW, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO RETHINK YOUR LIFE!!

...

Please spend the twenty minutes you could spend watching TC Roar on something better. Like Super Mario Bros. Z. Or Glitchtale. Or TIE Fighter.

Why Does This Show Exist?!

[nasdagoodshepherd · 1/10 · 12 January 2020]

Who asked for this? NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS! I watched the first episode of this show, ThunderCats Roar and it was awful. The characters in the show are super annoying including Lino-O, the main character himself is very unlikable, In fact, you just want to punch him in the face or even strangle him. He is so annoying and all over the place. The villains are also a joke obviously, btw. What about the visuals of the show? Are the visuals good? No, some character designs honestly looked okay and some look prety ugly. Hell, the show itself is ugly, the animation is ugly. Teen Titans Go may be an infamous joke, but at least the visuals looked rather detailed and they are an improvement over this one and some of the humor for Teen Titans Go made more sense unlike ThunderCats Roar. Oh yeah, speaking of the humor, is it good? No, of course not. The humor is really annoying. This isn't ThunderCats, this is basically Breadwinners and my god, Cartoon Network...there were TWO brand new shows that we were all looking forward to, Tig N' Seeks and The Fungies. These two new shows were supposed to air on Cartoon Network, but for some stupid reason, they were planned to premier on HBO Max! Really, Cartoon Network?! There were two new shows planning to air on the channel, but you changed your minds and THIS is what we're getting?! Screw you! Overall, ThunderCats Roar is just awful, it's just a huge middle finger to fans of the original show (especially fans of the 2011 remake) and I'm sure as hell that it will be freaking canceled. (I hope this show gets canceled after one season) Seriously do not watch ThunderCats Roar, folks. This show dosen't deserve any attention at all and if you have kids, don't let them watch this mess! Stay away for this ugly pile of animation! I give this one a 1.2/10

Bring back the 2011 Thundercats.

[filipe-fleming · 1/10 · 12 January 2020]

This version is disrespectful to the Thundercats fans, the 2011 version was even better than the original and was canceled? No one wants to watch this bizarre animation.

Sword of Omens - plz take this from my sight!!

[queendee519 · 1/10 · 13 January 2020]

What in Thundera even is this??? Why oh why would they reduce such an amazing classic cartoon series to such rubbish?!? Growing up in the 80s I naturally am a HUGE fan of the original series - so this definitely comes across as pure nonsense! I always wondered if they would ever give it new life and boy did they miss the mark!! FAIL!!!!'!!!!'

Dont mess with a classic

[devtres · 1/10 · 13 January 2020]

This show is an abomination, a total disrespect for the original show. If you want to create a DUMB show, do it! But create new characters, new stories, new everything! Dont mess with a classic like this. A total disrespect! The creator of this should never work again on tv.

No, just no

[chris-jenner · 1/10 · 12 January 2020]

Why reboot something that was great into something that's complete sh......

Silly fun re-imagining

[cwcheeseboy · 9/10 · 25 April 2020]

Loved the original show as a kid and remakes never hit do them justice, but this is a brilliant re-imagining. It's silly and cartoonish, but it's so much fun. Mocking and paying homage to the original at the same time. It will have haters, but go in with an open mind and you might just love it.

I like it..

[mr-c-giles · 7/10 · 20 January 2021]

I was surprised to see poor scores from people across the board for this show. I watched the original (which was ok but never a fave of mine, it took itself far too seriously), and I personally don't feel that this needs to be a remake of that? Yes the animation is amateurish, but I suspect that this is intentional to accentuate the humour that runs through the show. My kids watch it, and I frequently find it funny. Overall, I think it's a decent new cartoon. Maybe I'm missing something?! Worth a 7 in my humble (and possibly uneducated) opinion.

I Don't Like this show!

[dhayes-27592 · 1/10 · 24 May 2020]

This show has ruined Thundercats, in my opinion! It doesn't resemble the Thundercats at all! The first & Second Thundercats was amazing, even though the second Thundercats wasn't finished, I still loved it! Why would they make something like this!?

What a disservice to a great original cartoon.

[senorbozz · 16 January 2020]

Complete garbage. There's zero substance, and it's a mockery of what was a superbly well done cartoon.

Send them back to thundera

[aljpennisi-29901 · 1/10 · 10 June 2020]

That's where this show belongs, to inexistence, its an absolute crap, and a totally disrespect to our childhood.

Horrible

[calebbrewerviperenergy · 1/10 · 13 January 2020]

Who at Cartoon Network thought this twisted version of the thunder cats was a good idea ? This show is absolute garbage.

Terrible

[bmasteller · 1/10 · 18 April 2020]

I watched the original "Thundercats " growing up, and this is an insult. The "drawing" is horrific it's like the person can't even draw a true cartoon. It is a stupid concept with the way it's drawn it makes the cartoon in the storyline look ridiculous I'm insulted by it and I will never watch it. It seems like no one can come up with an original idea anymore so they go back to a new were great ideas like ThunderCats and Jem and the holograms and he man and try to redo them and just screw it up you should all be ashamed of yourselves this is a terrible thing you did.

Utter drivel

[dhenwood · 1/10 · 6 April 2020]

The 80's series was great, the 2011 remake was astoundingly even better (great story, great animation.)

This however is utter drivel. It is one of those idiotic series that insults the intelligence of the viewer and offers nothing in return, but with a very poor Thundercats skin put on it.

There are so many good series in the last few years, (Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb,) this sadly is not one of them.

Who is this for?

[sootball · 1/10 · 19 January 2020]

Bad writing, ridiculously poor animation, and a lack of a clear direction makes this attempt at a reboot a loss for Thundercat fans of all ages. If this half-assed attempt is what we are going to get, the brand is better off dead and forgotten.

Teen Titans Go In Thundercats Skin

[jeremycrimsonfox · 1/10 · 20 February 2020]

Yeah, when this cartoon was announced, people were angry about it (mainly because it was going to focus more on comedy), but now that it premiered, I can say this is indeed horrible.

Basically a comedic remake of the original series, this show is basically like Teen Titans Go!, another remake that has gotten its fair share of hate. Like that show, Thundercats Roar basically messes up the characters' personalities, as here, Lion-O is a complete moron who is irresponsible at time, while Tygra is the voice of the reason (who is treated horribly as a result, mainly from Lion-O). Cheetara is now a show-off who seeks attention, while WikyKiy and WilyKat act more like kids.

As for the episodes themselves, they are almost like Teen Titans Go!. The series uses music taken from the original shows, and have a lot more action than TTG, but sadly, the show teaches some horrible morals to kids, and the humor can get juvenile and unfunny at times. If you are a longtime fan of Thundercats, I recommend steering clear of this show.

I could get pass the animation if the writing was good

[lpbott-102-817827 · 1/10 · 24 January 2020]

The animation style is not my cup of tea but I can look past it if the writing was good. Jokes are bad and cliché. The writing is incredibly lazy. I don't get what it's trying to be. Such a waste

Ridiculourly stupid and funny!

[edgar1975 · 8/10 · 30 June 2020]

The situations are absurd, the characters over the top and the jokes stupid. My kind of show!

This review section is biased and quite sad.

[iamthehollow · 7/10 · 29 February 2020]

So what it's not like the original and it's all random humour and 'bad' animation...it's funny, I'm old so I don't watch kids cartoon anymore (something the many many saddos in these reviews should consider) my children really loved it, it's no worse than Teen Titans Go (another KIDS cartoon that 40 something saddos hate) and it might even be better considering the reaction from my kids.

You'll get a funny cartoon cancelled because you are crying cause you can't carry on watching the same stuff you watched in your childhood repeated forever...'member when you were young? You hated all 'old' things didn't you? Why should todays kids be any different...but no, it's an 'insult' it's a 'slap in the face' and it's 'disrespectful', listen carefully saddos....GROW UP! Stop crying about a cartoon about anthropomorphic cats fighting an age old mummy not being like it used to be...you're literally pathetic.

when random number generation creates a script...

[klingbeil-02990 · 1/10 · 16 March 2020]

OMG.... it's just so... terrible... i don't even know where to start. the script is scatterbrained and situations last 5 to 10 seconds before moving on to another situation. i swear that each situation is selected by the rolling of a dice, because nothing is connected.

the art and animation is woefully subpar, the writing is done by 5th graders, and the lack of anything original makes it an embarrassment to its intellectual property.

i wasn't a huge fan of the original to begin with, so i'm not going to be screaming "you ruined my childhood" even a tiny bit. i'm looking at this as an original show and from that aspect, the pilot should have died at production and never seen release.
