In this video, we explore the reasons why the 2011 Thundercats reboot animated series was a failure.

Despite high hopes Thundercats failed to live up to expectations and was met with disappointment from fans.

Some blamed poor writing and character development. Some blamed low ratings. Some blamed low toy sales. And all of that was a factor but there was another reason involving Lego that isn’t talked about as much.

Whether you’re a fan of the original Thundercats or just curious about the 2011 series, we attempt to provide a look at why it was a failure. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we delve into the reasons behind the failure of the 2011 Thundercats series.
