Voltron: Defender of the Universe!
I mean, this is the show that Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers ripped off! That alone should tell you something...
First of all, we have the hero robot, Voltron with his blazing sword.
I don't know about you, but my Sword of Omens could whoop the ass of that dumbass robot and its sword any day of the week!
Then there is the cast itself... compare them to us, and ask yourself which is cooler.
Keith or Lion-O (me)
Keith is boring, has no personality, and acts like he has a stick up his ass in many of the episodes. He is also not nearly as handsome or charming as yours truly. I mean, come on, look at me in my bathing suit and tell me who you'd rather date.
Allura or Cheetara
Allura: blond airhead who does stupid things and gets herself in trouble;
has a thing for pink and Keith (bad taste, eh?)
Cheetara: blond Thundercat who saves others from doing stupid things and
gets them out of trouble; has a thing for me and wears sexy jumpsuits (now
that's good taste)
Pidge or the Thunderkittens
WilyKat or WilyKit alone could kick this twerp's ass. I mean, look at him... dorky kid with glasses who does backflips and talks to mice. Kit and Kat would tear him to pieces in a real fight. And they'd exterminate those rodents, too.
Hunk or Panthro
No-brainer (especially referring to Hunk). Panthro is a world class fighter, inventor, and ass-kicker whereas Hunk is a world class food-consumer, belcher, and goof-off. About the only two things Hunk does are eat and ask where more food is. Oh yeah and he tries to beat people up sometimes too. (Keyword: TRIES)
Lance or Tygra
Another easy one. Lance's only talent is being a wiseass, while Tygra is a great mentalist and architect. Tygra would (literally) whip him but good in a fight.
Coran and Nanny or Snarf
Say what you will about Snarf being annoying, but he will never hold a candle to these two. Nanny had Allura spanked for going swimming in a bikini at her adult (or nearly) age. Snarf would never do that to me. And Coran, what a jerk! He's constantly giving people orders and doing nothing himself but pacing and worrying and complaining. Snarf fights right along with us and has even kicked Mumm-Ra's ass!
The Space Mice or Snarfer
HAHAHA! Snarfer may be a complete dork, but he would eat these stupid mice and their dumb mouse-Voltron for breakfast (literally). Hell even the Snarfer Automaton could do it!
Lotor or Mumm-Ra
If you even have to think about this one, then you're beyond hope.
Zarkon or Slythe
They're both ugly as hell and evil leaders but Slythe could beat this guy. He just sits around all day and barks out orders. Slythe gets down and dirty and actually puts up a real fight. Zarkon also wears a dress, detracting from his "evil and menacing villain" style. At least Mumm-Ra and Vultureman look good in their skirts.
Haggar or Luna
Haggar... one of the few beings in the universe (other than the Crystal Queen) whose voice is more hideous than Luna's! She's also uglier than Luna, which is no mean feat. Amok could beat the shit out of Haggar's scrawny little cat, too. You can't even give Haggar points for having the powers of evil magic, because it never works anyway.
Haggar's Cat or Ma-Mutt
Ma-Mutt is a likeable evil sidekick, and loyal to his master. Nobody on the show, even enemies, really dislike Ma-Mutt (only his master). Haggar's cat is another story. Everyone but Haggar hates her cat. I don't think her cat even has a name, come to think of it. Everyone just calls it "cat" or "kitty" or "that mangy fleabag".
So now you know why we are furious to be replaced by this crappy show! You will pay for this outrage, Cartoon Network! You will pay!
So declares Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats!

Small Disclaimer: This is solely Lion-O's opinion on these issues.
Personally I am a Voltron fan, and I even have a
Voltron Site. Lion-O is just
very bitter about having his show cancelled.
