By the great Eye of Thundara what is wrong with you people!
Judging by this alone I can tell they butchered one of the greatest cartoons to ever run.
Lets start from the top left to right.
Why does Tygra have a gun? Seriously, why does he have a freakin gun? Tygra and Panthro both where the brains of the team, Tygra more tactile sense and enginering and Panthro scientific and building stuff. Tygra could turn invisible, invisible! He could fling out that bolo from anywhere, and it was very long btw, and take out a slew of guys with it. He has absolutly no need for a gun. Why would you even put a gun into a fantasy show? What made the ThunderCats so great is they beat foes that had technology with just their physical and mental prowess. And unless its liek a Stun laser its not liek he can just shoot mooks with it, its on toonami so it cant be too violent.
Only the Mutants had guns because Thundarians never really used weapons until Jaga gave them their armor and weapons. Speaking of which I have no problem with Lion-O's costume, but the rest WTF! Looks like they where reading 90's X-Force or something.
Panthro...Whats with the spiked gauntlets? Again not as if he can use it in battle. Also they couldnt give him another nunchaku? I always wondered why he didnt have two and now since he's bigger and meaner it makes sense. Speaking of that why does Panthro look like some kind of berserker? As if said before he was one of the more brainy types, still formidable in battle but smart as well. His style was more athletic and acrobatic than straight up strength(Though he did lift the Thunder-Tank one time) This style screams of the old "Big grumpy fighter guy thats really nice on the inside" troupe.
Now we come to Cheetara. Originally she was a badass babe, she had muscles, her costume showed off her well honed physic, and she was a real woman all grown up. This new B- looks like Cher from Clueless on Safari. She's supposed to be a grown woman. Really the only kids where the twins, and I never liked them, any change to the twins can only be an improvement. That and get rid of Snarf *shudders* Besides that all of them being grown was the point, all the grown Thundercats where their to advise Lion-O how to be the best Leader he could. How is Cheetara supposed to be a peer if she's younger than Lion-O? And whats with all the packs and pouches on her costume? She doesnt need sh-! Thats why she had a leotard cause she ran so fast she didnt want anything to slow her down and she could literally pul out her long staff out of thin air, no need for pockets. *Sigh and groan*
Speaking of Lion-O we round out our list. WTF happened to his hair? Looks like a cheap DBZ knockoff. Even young Lion-O from the first episode had better hair, and it wasnt all chopy either, it was fine more like, what do ya know, a LION's! Lion-O's hair was almost like a Lion-s mane, this new brat looks like he still plays in the litter box. And Why blue eyes? Lions do not have blue eyes. I honestly hope thats not his permanent look, I was thinking maybe he kinda hulks out when he calls "ThunderCats HO!" but no. In the picture the Sword of Omens is in its released form. How they going to work that anyway? Also why is he so young? Youthfull is ok, but damn he looks as old as 80's Lion-O did in the first episode. Not even 20ish he looks like 16 maybe.
Thank Jaga that Mumm-Ra is just about the same, one of the greatest cartoon villains.
So yeah, thanks Japanese studio for not doing your research and abandoning any sense of originality, and respect towards the source material when making this. I'll be sure to make this my mission to make sure this gets fixed. ASAP
I encourage any die-hard fans to join me, maybe we can get a petition going, protest CN studio's, something, anything, to fix this garbage.

Heck, the other anime version of the Powerpuff Girls presented in this video looks a lot better than the Powerpuff Girls Z version.
