Cheetara vs Lynxana

This is the fight I always wanted to see. Since Lynxana was never in the cartoon. I was hoping she and Cheetara would battle in the comic books. But never happen. Just wonder if Cheetara could even stand a chance against this bountry hunter.

Put up a fight? I would say so. She has more than proven her skill. However I would heavily favor Lynxana in a fight. She has too many weapons and seems to be more adept at combat.

Yes I agree. But would Lynxana stand a chance against Tygra. Tygra Bolo Whip, Mind powers and invisibility vs the best bounty hunter in the galaxy

I would say that Tygra would put up a decent fight. The thing is that Lynxana seems to do her homework! Is this a premeditated fight or spur of the moment? If Lynxana is given time to prepare, than she is tough to beat I believe.

I would say a straight up fight. What Tygra turns invisible, I don't know how Lynxana would win than? But if Lynxana is giving time to prepare than she would step a trap in guessing like Safari joe did. What do you think.

That just raises the issue of why didn't Tygra turn invisible against Safari Joe . . . but I guess that's deviating from the topic a bit.

Because then Lion-O wouldn't save the day LOL

Like me and Tygra have said over and over against. Dam Lion-O had to save the day against SJ and they even gave Tygra a bogus weakness. Can't swim. Come on the writers got so lazy. Would of been better for Tygra to push Cheetara out of the way and NOT the other way around. Tygra goes up in the air on them Energy bolts than SJ traps Cheetara in a net like most of the other times Cheetara gets captured

I've said it before, many times, much as I love the show, the Lion-O-centric format is just stupid and wrong.

And you gotta love Jaga giving Lion-o the heads up about SJ.

He didn't even give him any useful information about how to beat him!

The thing that bugged me about Jaga was how in the later series, his appearances tended to just be to tell Lion-O to use the catchphrase and that would save the day. If I'd seen the later series as a kid, I'm sure I wouldn't remember the show as fondly now.

What bothered me about Jaga (Hey1 We could start a Jaga thread lol) is how many times he waited for all the TCs to fall prisoners before advertising Lion-O. That ahppened with the SoO as well. I've said this amny times. Take "Mongor" as an example. Mongor traps Tygra... wouldn't it have been easier and faster if the SoO warned Lion-O right then, instead of waiting for Cheetara and Panthro to get captured as well? Think of this: Tygra gets captured, the Sword warns Lion-O, he summons the other TCs. Now all of them know about Mongor, they could go rescue Tygra and plan of a plan together, beswides bewaring getting captured as well.

Lmao this is so true. Only Jaga can warm Lion-O when all the thunder cats gets captured. I guess Jaga can't tell Lion-O when only one of the thundercats gets captured. All Jaga had to do was tell Lion-O than SJ has captured the thunderkittens but known Jaga saids ill wait till Tygra Cheetara and panthro gets captured.

As much as I love the first season of the show I would have to agree with you. The other seasons really dragged and became very predictable. In fact when getting the DVD collections of various cartoons I was surprised how much getting through the unseen episodes became a chore rather than an enjoyable experience of seeing a new never before seen episode. This happened with other shows like Galaxy Rangers etc.

Looks like you are reading my mind! LOL! :biggrin When I was a kid, I only had a few episodes of many cartoon shows recorded on VHS. I yearned to get more episodes but just couldn't. Now that these shows have become available on DVD and Youtube, I tried many times to sit eagerly and watch the episodes which I missed in my childhood and I really found it a chore to sit through even one episode!

It is kind of sad that no matter how hard we try, we just cannot recreate that magic and enthusiasm and enjoyment that we experienced as kids. :( Who said growing up was fun? ;)

I never had that many episodes recorded of shows either, but the ones I had tended to stick in my mind. That said, most of my opinions on the individual episodes are the same as they were as a kid. Some have changed, but not a lot.

The biggest change would have to be Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I enjoyed it immensely as a kid, but watching it as an adult just made me cringe. Interestingly, I never saw the opening 5-parter as a child, and when I saw that about 3 years back, I did enjoy it. But then the next episode, the earliest episode I did see as a kid, was a let-down, so I stopped and haven't felt like going back. I should point out here that I did see some other episodes as an adult a few years previously, but they made me cringe first, and my watching of the opener was more to satisfy my curiosity than anything else.

I can relate to feeling let down as an adult by shows I loved as a kid. Perhaps not surprisingly, the one exception to this that I can think of is Thundercats. Like I'm sure many of you, I had a few (maybe 20?) episodes taped for me from when I was 4 or 5 years old. They were all season one episodes, except I also had all five parts of "Thundercats Ho!". Then we moved and did not have cable TV for the next few years. Uhg. I can remember watching the episodes I had over and over again. I'd look at our weekly TV guide that came in the paper and see that Thundercats was listed on a channel we didn't get and I'd seriously be sad about it. I knew there were more episodes out there - maybe even episodes with the "new" Thundercats that I'd only known from "Thundercats Ho!". I would wonder and wonder what those episodes had in store and all the while I had this awful feeling that I would never get to see them. Keep in mind that at the time the internet and DVD box sets weren't even close to bring a thing.
One weekend when I must have been 10 or 11, my brother spent time with my grandparents (who had cable) and he was nice enough to tape the episode that came on for me. It was "Catfight", and I probably wore it out. I don't know if the episode is well-regarded among us or not, but it will always be a favorite of mine if for no other reason than it gave me a glimpse into the adventures I always wondered about. It had the "new" Thundercats, in their "new" home (the Tower) and even introduced me to this new group of villains (The Lunataks).
So when I was 15, and I finally had cable TV, Cartoon Network started running Thundercats as part of their new Toonami block. I was never so excited as I was when this was announced. I taped every single episode. And I admit, I was anxious to get beyond season 1 because those were the adventures I had wondered about for so long. I know many of you may be thinking how disappointed I must have been, but no. I was fully enchanted the entire time. Did I notice a change (or drop, perhaps) in quality? Yeah, I did. But I was just so excited to be watching the entire saga, something I had long thought impossible.
Now, years later, I can be more objective and see that the writing definitely went a bit downhill in the last couple years. But somehow I can always find something to enjoy in just about every episode. I think I yearned for the episodes for so long, I still can't be anything but grateful for the fact that I am able to see them.

Yeesh, sorry that turned into a bit of a long story. I appreciate those that took the time to read all of it :-)

As a kid I had the first 15 or so episodes of TMNT recorded on VHS. I used to watch them over and over again, so much that I often memorized what sound effect would occur at what point! :biggrin

When I revisited the series recently, I was still quite impressed by the first couple of eps. The animation is very good with detailed shading, the fights are more energetic and less comedic, and there are some slightly dark and a little scary moments. But when I checked out a few of the later episodes, it was the same case as with ThunderCats. The animation had deteriorated, the fights were more like friendly wrestling, and the villains had become comedians. :(

I for one enjoyed your story very much! :)

I think you are lucky that you got to see the later episodes when you were 15 and at that time were still enthusiastic about it. That is why you have fond memories of the entire series. I envy you for that. ;) I only got to see around 20-25 episodes of the first Season when I was around 8. After that I watched the rest of the eps when I was 30. So it's a long gap and by that age I just couldn't get as excited as I wanted to. Every time I watched an episode, half of my mind was somewhere else, thinking about what deadlines I have to meet, and other daily duties and chores. I suppose as kids since we don't have responsibilities, we can totally get immersed in such things and enjoy them to the fullest.

Oddly enough here in the UK I remember reading the TV guide around 1996 and on Sky there was a channel called Warner Bros. and they broadcast Thundercats. I wonder if they broadcast any of the episodes from seasons two, three and four.

I agree a lot of the Turtles episodes became very comedic. As much as I love the original cartoon as far as characters, stories and action go the 2003 and 2012 cartoons are vastly superior.
