>Dan Norton Interview
>It would have started with a time skip with the power balance in Mumm-Ra's favor. Lion-O would've come up with the Code of Thundera from the 1985 series and along with the symbols on the red crests of the armor. The rebuilt Thundera would've included all who opposed Mumm-Ra.
>The second episode would have been about Berbils would make the New Thundera technologically more advanced than the old one. Panthro plans to steal Mumm-Ra's technology to give them an advantage and the Berbils would follow him. This episode would've revealed Snarf's species' origins and show Flashbacks of when Panthro was trapped in the pyramid after Grune's betrayal. Ro-Bear Bill would have sacrificed himself to save Panthro and ensure the heroes would have the advantage Panthro planned.
>The third episode would have been about other details that was revealed at a convention, Slithe's motives for siding with Mumm-Ra, Lynx-O's spotlight appearance, Slithe's grudge against Lynx-O and Slithe killing Lynx-O. There would be hints of Pumyra wanting more power too.
>The fourth episode would have given the spotlight to Cheetara and her status as the last Cleric along with introducing an old rival of Cheetara's from her Cleric training days (a fat snow leopard) and would have learned that Cheetara blames herself for her grandma's death because of her speed to deliver medicine. Like her 1985 Series Counterpart, Cheetara would gain the ability to see into the future in this episode.
>An episode would have focused on Jaga and confirmed that the Astral Plane is where Jaga's spirit resides. This episode also confirmed that Grune is still trapped in the Astral Plane and he has been transformed into a more monstrous version of himself (with Panthro's arms attached to him). Grune would also steal the Blue Power Stone (known as the "Soul Stone").

CROSSOVER TIME!
>An episode would have shown some flashbacks to explain how the Kittens acquired their items (the Flink and the Flupe), they were in the maze of Baron Karnor
>An episode would have involved islands and a nautical vibe. The TigerSharks would have made an appearance and the Bolkins from the 1985 Series would have appeared and been made into a community of fishermen. They would also have to deal with the Berserkers lead by Hammerhand.
>The following episodes would have shown Mumm-Ra uses the Power Stones to power-up his pyramid and one of these episodes revealed one of these power-ups to be turning sand into a black mist and releasing it within a chamber that turns whom ever breaths it into a more powerful but more monstrous form.
>Pumyra would transform into a mutant-bug monstrosity. Pumyra would be in this form for a few episodes and Tygra would kill Pumyra when it became clear she is beyond the point of redemption
>The first batch of 13 episodes from this set of 26 episodes would end with Lion-O entering the Book of Omens to train some more
No.962110
>Another major point from these episodes would be the Kittens splitting up on somewhat bitter terms during the time skip. Wilykit went to live with the Elephants at one point and became their queen while Wilykat still focused on finding Eldara and becomes a King of Thieves.
>Hachiman was planned to appear, learned how to fight from a group of roach people and have a sword created by the Drifter. The Conquedor would have been revealed to be Safari Joe from the 1985 Series. The Lunataks were planned to appear too.
>Lion-O would emerge from the Book of Omens 10 years later (looking like the ThunderCat equivalent of Conan The Barbarian) and Wilykit would eventually become romantically attached to Lion-O and later becoming the Queen of Thundera after marrying him. Bengali would appear as Tygra & Cheetara's son in this series
>After Lion-O returns from the Book of Omens, Mumm-Ra's pyramid would have enough power to float again and he plans to use it to attack the ThunderCats but it takes over the course of this next batch of 13 episodes to reach the Cat's Lair. The ThunderCats would face off against Grune again to reclaim the Soul Stone and Panthro would reclaim his arms from Grune, which now have an ability known as an "Astral Punch".
>After this last confrontation with Grune, Mumm-Ra would steal the Soul Stone but Slithe would betray him and give the stone to Lion-O and be killed by Mumm-Ra in retaliation. Tygra would also die before the final battle when he takes a hit from the Sword of Plun-Darr intended for Lion-O.
>The final battle would show all of the ThunderCats' allies answering Lion-O's battle cry/battle call, the Drifter would return with all the Swordsmen who regained their swords taken by the Duelist and Ponzi would return with Lucy. When Lion-O defeats Mumm-Ra a bandage would fly off into the wind.
>The epilogue would show peace has returned to Third Earth but the final scene would show the bandage from the final batle landing on the face of an innocent animal herder in the desert, forcibly mummify him and bury him under ground in the desert.
>There were two different ideas for whether Tygra could be brought back to life or if he stayed dead; the gauntlet combined with all the Power Stones would have the power to restore things (the debate was whether it could restore life or not). If they went with the Tygra stays dead route, there would have been a scene where Lion-O shows Bengali statues of previous kings and there would be a statue dedicated to Tygra.
>Like in the original , Third Earth would be revealed as Earth from the distant future. The "Third" part of the name comes from the times Mumm-Ra visited Earth; "First Earth" was when Mumm-Ra visited Earth during the time of the dinosaurs and "Second Earth" was when Mumm-Ra spend a significant amount of time on Earth in Egypt.
>The SilverHawks were from the time of "Second Earth" and would have met the ThunderCats through a hole in time. The SilverHawks and the TigerSharks were also allies that would join in during the final battle. There were "back-up plans" in case they were unable to have said teams appearing.
Out of everything, Lion-O/Wilykit as endgame is what threw me for a loop. Cute though.

What a weird plotpoint to call back to. It really shows that they wanted to fix their problem of not having a strong overarching story by making the second season one clear storyline. What isn't clear is whether or not they were intent on fixing the issue of every character being a dickbag. Wilykit and Wilykat splitting ways makes me think they didn't, but potentially killing of Tygra shows that they wanted to kick a certain writer in the dick for sabotaging an entire season by making him the worst character, with Lion-O in a close second, because he never fucking learned anything.

Exactly. Even this after-the-fact exposition of everything they wanted to do, 6 years after the series crashed, burned, and then got shit all over by the fans doesn't ring as sincere to me. 6 years is a long time to soak up all the criticism and then miraculously claim that the next season, which will never be made, would have been 100 times better and correct all the problems of the original. Executive meddling and toy company demands can only account for so much of what went wrong. The rest is on the creative team and the writers who made so many mistakes and stupid decisions that it effectively killed the franchise for another 30 years.

It was a real disappointment. All that time spent making it out like she and Lion-O could be close and then, 'lol I work for Mumm-Ra' out of nowhere. I still don't get why she'd team up with the guy who destroyed her country and basically led to her death over the the guy who's trying to stop him.

Could be. I've gone back and rewatched the original series and it's dangerously cheesy at times. The show was initially created to compete with other shows like He-Man and sell toys, so the concept wasn't initially as important as the toyetic qualities. Didn't stop them from trying their hardest to establish a world and a storyline and make the characters likable.

>OG Thundercats

Goofy, yes. Bad? No. The premise might've been about cat looking men fighting a mummy, but it had an underlying message about the importance of making friends and helping others. The Thundercats were refugees escaping their doomed world and had to accept the strange and different people around them to survive. In the process, they made friends, turned enemies into friends, and generally tried to be the best neighbors they could be.
The new series just said "Nah, we want to be Avatar."

I would say the reason for that occurring is that Avatar is a good benchmark for a western written, anime style, long story arc driven animated series. On top of that it was also able to supposedly pull in a 50/50 sex split audience and a wide age viewing group. While Avatar:TLA isn't perfect (I can't think of any western animation that is personally) it is a very good example of what can be done. Not going to mention Korra's much lower quality, while TLA was out long before the 2010 Thundercats started production
