Of course it didnt, I meant thatyoung justice had strong fan base that managed to get revival. Toys ARE important, but big number of cartoons dont even that have much toys at all not every cartoon is based on TMNT model, fairly odd parents wason air for decade and is hardly the toy market juggernaut.Its wrong to pretend that Ratings and fanpopularity don't playrole, rebooted ThunderCats cartoon had neither which is quite evident becausethat tv show is in obscurity.

No, the ratings weren't the problem; the main reason for cancelling that show were the low sales of the toys. The show was going well but the way Bandai handled the toyline was really bad and that was hurting the sales of the figures; it was the same thing that happened to the original Young Justice and Green Lantern Animated Series
Why????
Seriously still going on with this abomination?

The problem was never with the TV show. CN has a long history of giving more action oriented shows like Thundercats, Young Justice, Samurai Jack, Symbiotic Titan, etc the short end of the stick. It's just what they do. They actually gave that Thundercats Revival more consideration (and a longer run) than they did many shows that did even better.
Meanwhile, if you have a poorly drawn comedy with a nonsensical plot, you can write your own ticket.

Makes perfect sense to me.
Cartoon network has become kinda famous over the last couple years for their legendarily bad decisions (like "Marvel Comics in the 90s" bad). of course their gonna air a show so bad even die-hard fans of the franchise hate it.
Plus CN is a company like any other. For whatever reason, they sank money into that steaming pile of cat-guano, if they don't have SOMETHING to show for it, the bean-counters will take away their internet porn and Beavis and Butt-head DVDs.
I'm actually really interested in how this will turn out! I don't really like this artstyle for ThunderCats, I prefer the 2011 one, but I think it looks really cool and could potentially surprise us. I remember dissing on Adventure Time for the art style and when I gave it a shot it became one of my favourite shows, so I'm not making that mistake again.
I like that it looks like it was drawn by brain-damaged six-year olds.
