** One review did suggest that most of those already denouncing the new show have not seen the original since they were children.
** When a clip revealed that Mumm-Ra has his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73HlG2Xd2FA own tank] in episode 6, some people flat out stated the show may be [[Ruined FOREVER]] because of it. Talk about jumping the gun.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Mumm-Ra once commanded a number of races he kept enslaved using explosive collars that he placed around their necks. In his quest to rule the universe, Mumm-Ra, as we see in flashbacks, ordered the destruction of a star system in a highly-inhabited solar system, killing billions in the process simply so he could use the remains of the star to forge the Sword of Plun-Darr. Defeated and sealed inside a coffin, Mumm-Ra is freed by Grune and soon attacks Thundera with his army, killing Lion-O's father Claudus and enslaving most of the Thundercats. After taking over Thundera, Mumm-Ra proceeds to torture Jaga for information. In "Between Brothers," Mumm-Ra tries to trick Lion-O and Panthro into killing each other. In the two-part series finale, "What Lies Above," Mumm-Ra threatens to destroy the Thunderkits when they interfere with his plans, and then tries to collapse an entire city to kill his enemies. There was no line he would not cross in his quest to become Dark Messiah of all races.
* [[Complete Monster]]:* Grune was once a highly respected general of Thundera and a friend to King Claudus and Panthro and had ambitions to one day be king. When he learned neither he nor Panthro were promoted to General of the Army he was furious, despite being given a task to find the Book of Omens with Panthro. During their quest, Grune fell under the impression Claudus knew of his desire to rule Thundera and sent him on a pointless quest to get rid of him, turning his ambitions into bitter obsession. This led him to hearing Mumm-Ra call out to him, offering him power in exchange for his loyalty. When Panthro tried to talk him out of it, Grune attacked him and sent him plummeting to his supposed death. Returning to Thundera, seemingly with a group of lizard slaves, Grune later revealed his new allegiance and overthrew the kingdom with Mumm-Ra’s army, which resulted in the death of Claudus and having the citizens he once wanted to rule over either murdered or sold off as slaves. When reuniting with a vengeful Panthro, he shows no regret for any of the crimes he’s committed against his people, only that he's not the king yet. In his final appearance, Grune shows that even his loyalty to Mumm-Ra is a lie, as he convinced Slithe to leave Mumm-Ra trapped in the astral plane, leaving him in command of his army. His motto is “any sacrifice is worth the defeat of your enemy”, and it fits how easily Grune will stab anyone in the back to destroy his enemies and claim power.
* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: It ''is'' admittedly, a show that is heavy on plot, light on exposition.
* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: Seems to be CR's main complaint when reviewing the premiere on ''[[Familiar Faces]].'' (Some commenters thought he was missing the point.)
