My favorite little fun fact is that the animators for The Last Unicorn worked on Thundercats :3

Tygra Thoughts/Head-canons

Does anyone think Tygra is maybe lonelier and more hungry for answers/finding some kind of meaning after the destruction of Thundera because he's the only ThunderCat whose clan originates from Asia? Everyone else can trace the type of cat/what clan they are back to Africa, but not him. It's one thing to be one of the last of your kind, the last of your clan, it's yet another to be the last from your entire continent.

Not only is he isolated by being effectively the leader of the ThunderCats until Lion-O is grown, he also, beyond being from the same planet, might not even have the same or similar cultural background than the rest of his fellow survivors. Assuming Thundera's various feline clans mapped out similarly on their world as their real cat equivalents do on Earth.

One of the best quotes in the entire show comes from him "Because it is our tradition... It gives our lives form, tells us who we are and what we must do." from Lion-O's Trial of Mind Power. It's obviously an incredibly important theme for the Thundercats as a small band of genocide survivors but it's extra potent coming from him.

Then he calls Bengali "brother", going from being the last potentially of an entire continent to being the only other ThunderCat than the Wilytwins with a fellow survivor from his own clan is bittersweet and crazy.

#thundercats #thundercats 1985 #tygra #This is why Native Son is such a good 2011 episode #even if I'm not a big fan of that version of Tygra as a character in general #it touches on tygra being especially unique among the original thundercats by way of heritage #bengali and tygra should have had way more of a relationship imo #and bengali SHOULD have been in Native Son but rip #also thinking about all this is like damn no wonder this dude was especially vulnerable to psychic manipulation #incredible intelligence + existential dread + burden of leadership + isolation even amongst isolated people = PROBLEMS #bengali #lion-o #headcanons #meta #wilykat #wilykit #lion-o's anointment trials: trial of mind power

Cartoon Heroes Paper Cut-Outs

The ThunderCats

Created by Tobin Wolf and produced by Rankin/Bass in conjunction with Pacific Animation Corporation, The ThunderCats follows the adventures of the eponymous team of heroes, cat-like humanoid aliens. These beings had fled their home world after it is conquered by the villains Mutants of Plun-Darr. Having barely survived their escape, the ThunderCats are marooned on a mysterious planet called Third Earth. There they are tasked with protecting their civilization’s most sacred artifact, the Eye of Thundera, from attacks from marauding Mutants, the mystical Mumm-Ra and other various threats.

Young Lion-O is made leader of the group, wielding the powerful Sword of Omens which contains the Eye of Thundera in its hilt. His allies include the industrious Panthro, the speedy Cheetara, the stealthy tactician Tigra, the youthful twins WilyKit and WilyKat, as well as their pet watch-cat, Shnarf.

Actor Larry Kenney provided the voice for Lion-O. Additional voice actor included Lynne Lipton, Earle Hyman and Peter Newman. The series first premiered in January of 1985 and ran for four seasons. A number of sequels and reboot series followed.

ThunderCats, Ho!!!
