King Claudus rules with a traditionalist’s fist, while his son, Lion-O, chafes against the formalities of the crown. The premiere’s genius lies in making the audience wait for the catastrophe. We see the luxury of the cat-kingdom, the prejudice against the dog-like "Mutants," and the simmering betrayal of Grune the Traitor. Thundercats -2011- 1 VF- L-Epee d-Omens 1 2
