I hope there's a comic or something that gets made that gets to explore some of the stuff being talked about.

I feel like Scorpia's powers came out of nowhere? She could definitely sting with her tail before, but crazy red lightning everywhere and shooting from her claws was new?

That's from the Crystal from the end of the previous season.

Part of me wished that the 2011 ThunderCats series could be folded into this if only because I thought that show deserved a second chance and the techno fantasy stuff could mesh.

I barely remember the show. I do recall absolutely loving the first two episodes, and that it created a lot of hype because it presented an interesting take on the older cartoon where the sides were more morally ambiguous, and had some strong characterization for the main cast right out the gate. Then I remember the show almost immediately jumping in to more stand alone episodes that were pretty rote, and getting increasingly bored over the course of the first season. To the point where I'm pretty sure I never watched beyond the two part mid-season episodes establishing the origin of the Sword of Omens through Lion-O's ancestor, along with the Mumra etc, because it annoyed me that it framed the entire thing by having Lion-O's spirit inhabit his ancestor and bumble about without any idea of what he was doing for the vast majority of the episodes and not giving us any real insight in to his ancestor when so much of those episodes revolved around the guy.

I do remember enjoying one or two of the following episodes. There was one involving the transience of life involving some flower people or something? That's about the extent of my memories of it though. Was there some homosexual characters in it, to say you brought it up in reference to talk about couples? The only relationships that I even remember were Lion-O and Tygra competing for Cheetara's attention, and her not even being that bothered about it because she had some priest or spy thing she was concentrating on as a servant to the former kingdom or something?

Man that show tanked fast. The pilot created so much hype, and I remember reading stories about how the entire season was planned out like one long movie etc. and then the actual season came and went with a wet fart.

Yeah, in concept and in summary, it was a really cool series, but over the entire season, it just sorta plodded along as a journey sort of series incorporating about as much of the original Thundercats series as they could without really developing the characters or keeping the stakes up too much. It was a series that probably would've worked better with a shorter episode count to force them to get a move on (so to speak) with the plot or just find a way to pace everything better.

Perfuma: G/w
Mermista: U/g
Frosta: R/U
Entrapta: U

Is this magic cards?

Yes.

I forgot Netossa and Spinnerella who's U/W and G/R respectively.

you know what'd be a fun little audio-only sort of episode? The Princesses and others doing an RPG ("strategy") session led by Adora.

I feel like a modern Captain Planet would have to work really hard not to be super grimdark and depressing.

So that's the one of these I want to see most. :getin:

Post-Apocalyptic Captain Planet where the ending has them sending the Eco Cruiser and its tech to the past along with the rings to Gaia.

There's definitely some stuff in Captain Planet that we still deal with like poaching, deforestation, animal testing for cosmetics, recycling, Hitler and others. But there's also some stuff that's a little outdated like acid rain, CFCs and the ozone hole. Most of the episodes could be modernized though and basically still be the same

Wacky Races would've been good, but the pilot never got off the ground

They should do a reboot of the show Reboot.

Which one? The original or the Live Action+CGI one?

Incelshok Na ate a 30 day probe for being super homophobic in another thread, I think it's safe to write them off as a troll, possibly an alt-right weirdo attracted to SA after lowtax stuff. If they come back I'd suggest ignoring them in the future, and not sending any sensitive links or content to them.

Lol.

Just check his rap sheet. Regardless of whether or not it's a troll, he keeps doing it and does it repeatedly and he only learns his lesson for a little bit before falling back into bad habits.
