Cats Are Mean: Difference between revisions

* In [[ThunderCats (2011 series)|the 2011 ''ThunderCats'']], this is [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggerated]] and [[Played for Drama]], as Thundera's [[Proud Warrior Race]], the [[Catfolk|Cats]], rule their [[The Empire|empire]] under the [[Animal Jingoism|jingoistic]] presumption that [[Cats Are Superior]]. They've fought a generations-long war with the [[Lizard Folk|Lizards]], and see [[Fantastic Racism|little problem]] with [[Made a Slave|enslaving]] those hungry Lizards they catch raiding their crops due to the Cats' systematic monopolization of arable land, even ''[[Vigilante Execution|lynching]]'' them, if they feel like it. The "Alley Cats" of Thundera's [[Urban Segregation|slums]] think nothing of beating and mugging hapless Specific minorities like [[Dogfaces|Dogs]]. There are some exceptions to the rule, young [[Rebel Prince]] Lion-O and his Thundercats among them, but the Cats' cruelty proves a [[Fatal Flaw]] for Thundera as a whole.

* Played straight in the [[Sports Cartoons]] that used to air on Nickelodeon during commercial breaks. The blue cat, in every cartoon except for one, is an unfair cheater who almost always gets his come-uppance by either the hippopotamus or the pig.
