Though those two examples are from people near the end of their respective runs.
While here the people are at the start.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
I do find it funny when voice talent talk in interviews about how great it was working with the rest of the cast, but then you find out later they didn't do group recordings and probably only ran into the rest of the cast in the parking lot as one was going home and the other was arriving for their session.
I assume the cast for this series records together, at least if this birthday tweet from Erica Lindbeck is any indication.
Yeah if the team is genuinely shown respect for their work, complaining even if turns out lackluster would be unlikely.
And Erica's very open about this kind of stuff with her reaction to Eyepatch Dimitri from Three Houses and her writing fics about her very own OC show.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Considering how some reacted to seeing a black Storm Trooper for the first time, i can't say i blame him.

The show will make its tv premiere on February 29. It's probably the first CN series to air anything new on Leap Year Day.
Scratch that. The show actually premieres February 22.

The first 6 episodes are on the app.
If you've watched them, how do they compare to the original series? Is it as bad as people are making it out to be?
Nothing would be as bad as what people are making it out to be.

All right, here's my two cents. I never watched the original Thundercats, and because I wasn't familiar with the original, I never watched the 2011 reboot either. My point is, you could say I'm the closest thing this show is going to get to a neutral judgment.
And honestly, based purely on its merits as a standalone TV show? It's OK. It's certainly not quality television, and I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. The art style, the humor, the character design, everything is pretty much textbook. The best I can say about it is that it's decent, if unremarkable. If the Thundercats name weren't attached to this show, I might actually find it an enjoyable little piece of animation.
But—and this is a big "but"— this show isn't meant to stand alone. It's called Thundercats Roar. It has Thundercats right there in the title. In other words, it was created with the intent that people who watched and loved the original would watch it because they associate its name with something they enjoy, and they aren't going to let that association go if they don't like what they see. As a wacky comedy cartoon, Thundercats Roar does exactly what it sets out to do, but as an installation of the Thundercats franchise, it really doesn't work. It's trading on name-brand recognition of a series whose fans are now mostly in their 20 and 30s, yet it's pitched at an audience a fraction of that age.
None of this to say that, in principle, the kind of comedy Thundercats Roar contains can't work. Watching it, I'm somewhat reminded—both in terms of tone and of art style— of The Amazing World Of Gumball. But there's a crucial difference. Gumball is an original work, so it doesn't have any past incarnations to live up to. There's no earlier version of the series that most of the existing fans are attached to.
My point is, if you justremoved all the references to the original Thundercats from this show— the title, the character's names, everything—but left the wacky, comedic tone the same, it would improve it dramatically. There's nothing really wrong with Thundercats Roar per se, except the fact that it's a Thundercats show.

Suddenly a crossover with Teen Titans Go!
...Woo?

Just watched the first two episodes. Those were really fun. Like the goofball characters and and there's some nice animation.
The art style feels really familiar to me for some reason, did the art director work on any previous stuff?

The uppers keep on trying to crossover unpopular reboots with Go.
With the crossover episode, it's a Take That, Audience! thing. They even bash the 2011 fans and have a tasteless joke that seems to reference Panthro's original voice actor's death in 2017.
They what?!

Okay roll us by, context, context here.

If they do expect the link to be saying something that says the opposite (they have a history of doing that)

NGL, that's a joke in poor taste for the sake of Take That, Audience! and a self-congratulatory episode

I can't tell if their being ironic with the whole "All haters are poop noses" joke.
Either way its not very funny.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
And then there’s John Boyega, who’s bashing the script and fandom of the sequel trilogy every chance he gets and is clearly having the time of his life leaving shade.
