I grew up watching the original Thundercats. I was very nervous when I heard about the reboot. Thankfully, after watching a few episodes of the new Thundercats, I am happy that the story, characters and the overall direction is pretty solid and does nothing to ruin it's great predecessor. It is time for a new generation to enjoy these awesome characters and I believe they are in safe hands. It is still worth watching the original series if you are a new fan. Every character from the original series will eventually appear here and most of their back-stories has been fleshed out while still staying true to the source material. If the rest of the seasons are as good as the first then it is safe to say that this show will continue to win more fans and attract a wider audience. Personally, i would like to see more humor in the show. In many ways, the new Lion-O is more relatable and I think younger audience members will immediately feel a strong connection and start looking up to him. All in all a very good animated series that is definitely worth watching.
