I know some of the questions I'm bringing here have been discussed over and over in the forums, but still they hang on my head like big unsolved misteries LOL. Maybe you guys have an answer (I know only writers and producers do), or maybe we can just go wild with imagination and have some fun... Or maybe you can just ignore this thread...
1. TCs being naked and with no weapons in "Exodus"
This is a plothole that has always bothered me. Jaga told the TCs they had had no need of clothes in Thundera (despite Jaga himself wearing some), but we then have images of Pumyra, Bengali and Lynx-O wearing clothes during the destruction of their home planet, which makes no sense at all. Even more, in "Back to Thundera" (the episode, not the arc), the Thunderian Royal guards were clothed, so was Claudus. And then the Thunderian refugees and Leah and all tose who showed up in New Thundera had clothes. I have come to the conclusion that maybe only the Noble TC were to wander naked as a symbol of purity and greatness or something like that.
2. The TC insignia
Now, what about them? Jaga had his in "Exodus", and so did the guards in "Return to Thudnera", but the Noble TCs didn't have them until Jaga gave them their clothes. I think they, among all Thunderian, should have held the ThunderCat insignia. Where did they plan to put it? Just pin it on their right nipple? Ouch! And what would they have handed Lion-Oafter every trial? As long as I remember, the SoO only let them know the outcome of a trial when the defeated TC handed Lion-O his/her badge. What did the new Lord recieve back in Thundera?
3. The weapons
Again, Jaga gave them the weapons in "Exodus", again explaining them they had had no need of them till now, but the Royal guards carried guns... Guns! The less noble weapon of all, one might say. Again you might say it was in the guards to defend the citizens and King, and the Noble TCs did't have weapons because they were, well, nobles and thier role was mainly to train the Lord-to-be in physical, mental and emotional abilities. So, if they had never wielded a weapon before, how did they get to control them so fast? When and where did they learn? And how did Bengali, a commoner blacksmith, got the Hammer of Thundera?
4. The "baddies" plans
This has also been discussed but, why didn't Mumm-Ra, the Mutants or the Lunatacks stroke back with a plan that already failed, only in a better version?
We've said "Mumm-Ra Berbil" and "Dream Master" are much or less the same episode plot with a different scenario. After "Mumm-Ra Berbil", shouldn't Mumm-Ra have learnt that no matters how much or for how long he enslaves the other TCs, it's Lion-O the one he should have gone after in the first place? Or at least at the end, but in no way send his new "slaves" after him because the catchphrase would set them free. So, his Berbil plan was a failure and he amde the same mistake as the Dream Master... Go for Lion-O first! And even when the dreams plan failed, go for it again, only this time include Lion-O in it and get him first! Or come back with your mind-controlling bracelets (this time Mumm-Ra could disguise himself as a Warrior Maidem, a Bolkin, a Wollo... the TCs wouldn't deny anyboy their help) and, again, get Lion-O first. At least in "Snarf Takes Up the Challenge" they did go for Lion-O first but, of coourse, they underestimated Snarf :rolleyes
Another example is "The Mountain". They had those Thundranium charges they adapted to their guns. A pretty good idea, so why don't go with it again? Even more, why not putting those charges in your vehicles' canyons? Imagine the nosedivers, the skycutters and Vultureman's fllying machines equipped with Thundranium canyons. That'd be the end of the TCs for sure.
Anyway, just some thoughts to have fun with, if you feel in the mood.
