I believe certain things within martial arts are illegal in the UK. I know that nunchucks are VERY illegal (so I wonder how they got Mikey on the show, over there), and UK censors tend to edit out headbutting and kicking people when they're down.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well they used to anyway, these days we have some of the most liberal censors in the world.

If memory serves, they left his nunchucks in. they were editted out of Soul Blade but because of the German censors, not ours. In fact, I'm not even sure if nunchucks are illegal here. The instructor owned a pair when I took up ninjitsu briefly at uni.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haven't they learned that they're not going to accomplish anything by recycling the old shows?
But Beast Wars was awesome :(

Aside from that, I don't really have any problem when old shows get 'updated.' It's not like the original show has suddenly gotten worse because of the new shows.

This is the stupidest thing to be done with the characters since they had a crossover with Superman.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Truer words were never spoken. Outside of the Paul Dini Batman/Superman cartoons, Beast Wars was probably the best cartoon of the mid-to-late 90s.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There's a difference between remaking a show and making a new series of it. From what little I know of that Japanese transformers cartoon (the one where Optimus Prime was a firetruck or something), THAT was a remake. Take the old premise and characters, change them around, pretend things happened differently. Transformers series' like Beast Wars were not remakes. Beast Wars didn't pretend the original series never happened and reinvent all the old characters. It was a new storyline with (mostly) new characters that tried to tie in with the original, not replace it.

Never did watch Thundercats, so I have no strong feelings about this news. But the new show premise does sound retarded as hell. If you're going to remake something, at least don't make it SUCK.

Though maybe there's worse ways to remake a show.

They should stop applying their crappy knock-off faux-anime style to various shows. It just doesn't work. The Japanese do it better, and a smart audience already knows that. I loved Thundercats as a child and even after viewing all the episodes again last year, the show still holds up. It's campy and corny in places, but it knows that. It's a formulaic show in terms of structure (they almost always laugh at something at the end, for example) that still manages to have great characters, battles and machines. I love the incidental music they use too. It reminds me a little of the truly high-quality cartoons of the time like The Mysterious Cities of Gold and Ulysses 31, which both had great design, music and flowing animation. It's a shame that with the advent of the Lunatacs, the general quality of the episodes and plots declined. Lion-o could do ANYTHING with his sword, and save the day within 30-seconds. It became repetitive and boring.

To remake it now with a modern "edgy" style would rip out the soul of the original version. Wolf had a vision for what the Thundercats should be, and I very much doubt that whatever WB comes up with will be in keeping with that vision.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't really watch Thundercats that much but this new version of it really makes a classic looks damn terrible. Why messed up a classic? Why not just make a good upgrade just like TMNT instead? Why do they really have to spoil kids with its new childish plot anyway? But, I'm still gonna watch it too see how ridiculous anyway

Actually, I believe this remake will be tons worse then Powerpuff Girls Z.

Even though the description of this new Thundercats show seems very bad, I'm sure all of you will check it out.

But think of the good things that come out of this remake!
