Thundercats Episode 19 The Pit Review

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 9:03 pm by Joe Moore under Thundercats Cartoon News, Thundercats Episode Reviews

The Thundercats come upon a colony of dogs. They find that a cat, working as a slave warrior in “The Pit”, survived the attack on Thundera. While Lion-O attempts to free her, he learns that he may not be the savior he hoped to be.

Read on to find out more about the introduction of Pumyra in our review of Thundercats Episode 19: The Pit. The Story
So, when last we left the Thundercats, the crew was split up and they were on a snowy mountain. At the start of this episode they are riding the Thundertank through the desert. Guess they found that shortcut. Anyway, they come upon a mountainside colony of dogs. Lion-O wants to use the colony to stock up on supplies, but Panthro seems to be familiar with the colony. He warns them it would be best to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible. Wily Kit and Kat run off to cause some light hearted trouble, and Lion-O sends Snarf to watch over them.

Lion-O comes upon a flyer featuring a cat. Lion-O and the team are shocked as they had assumed all the cats were killed during the lizard attack on Thundera. They enter a large arena…The Pit. There they see two dogs battling a giant “robot” called Gormax, who makes quick work of the dogs warriors. Lion-O asks one of the patrons who is in charge, and he is pointed to a tower hovering over The Pit. Lion-O and crew enter the tower and approach the leader; Dobo. Lion-O demands to know about the cat from the flyer. Dobo informs them that the cat, Pumyra, is his property. As Lion-O is about to start trouble, he is interrupted by Panthro, who seems to have a past with Dobo. They pull a total “Han and Lando” moment, first feigning hatred, but quickly turning into a reunion of sorts. The cats then watch as Pumyra enters the arena to take on Gormax.

Back in the slums of the colony, the Wily Twins are enjoying a meal, and they see a familiar site. A pickpocket working his way through the crowd. The raccoon, Tookit, approaches the kittens and begins his spiel. The kittens cut him off, informing him they know every trick and he apologizes and leaves them to their meal. That is until the kittens realize they have been robbed.

Back at The Pit, Pumyra effortlessly takes down Gormax. Lion-O demands her freedom. Dobo warns him not to interfere. Obviously, Lion-O cannot leave a fellow cat behind and, later that night, attempts to free her from her prison. Much to his surprise, his presence is not welcomed by Pumyra. Her commotion alerts the guards who take Lion-O into custody and throw him into a cell. Dobo takes the Sword of Omens and the claw shield. The next morning he hands the items to Panthro. Informing him that Lion-O attempted to free Pumyra, making a snide remark about loyalty and informs them that Pumyra will face Lion-O in The Pit. We are then treated to a flashback, where we find out that Panthro was once a prisoner here along with Dobo. The two were normally paired together in The Pit and were unstoppable. Until we learn that Panthro escaped, leaving Dobo behind to fend for himself.

Back in the slums, the kittens try to get their stuff back. Tookit puts them up to some shenanigans. Tells them that he is a klepto-voyant. This is his special ability to use his stolen items to his advantage or to help in situations without realizing it before hand.

Back at the cell, Lion-O attempts to reason with Pumyra. But he finds out her hatred is deep rooted and very personal. She tells Lion-O that other cats survived the lizard attack. But, with Lion-O and his team abandoning Thundera, they were rounded up by the lizards and Mumm-Ra and are now being used as slaves. They had hoped that Lion-O would return to save them all, but she witnessed too many deaths before her escape and blames Lion-O for it all. At The Pit, Lion-O and Pumyra face off. She begins a relentless attack, while Lion-O refuses to fight back.

The kittens, back in the slums, are making quick work of getting the items requested by Tookit. Before they can celebrate, the ones they robbed come after them and give chase through the village. Yada, yada, yada, they get away, learn about klepto-voyance and realize they’ve been had.

At The Pit, Pumyra continues her assault, with Lion-O refusing to fight back. He tells her he will not fight a fellow cat.She keeps attacking, while he keeps getting back up. Panthro and Dobo share an angry exchange. but Panthro explains why he fled. He and Dobo were scheduled to a fight to the death. And Panthro reveals that it wasn’t the fear of the fight, but the fear of having to possibly kill his friend was what drove him away. As Pumyra is about to strike the death blow, her anger subsides. She realizes he is willing to die to prove his loyalty to the Thundercats. She relents and tells Dobo she will not kill her king. At first, Dobo tells them that the punishment for disobedience is death. But the duo has won the crowd over and the chant for their freedom and Dobo complies. Lion_o asks about the other cats Pumyra had mentioned. She tells them they are being held at the nearby mountain of Plun-Darr!

Review
A much better, though still uneven, outing than last week. The stuff with the main crew, Dobo and Pumyra was fantastic. There was great tension built up, a very believable motive for her hatred and some great restraint showed with Lion-O. The stuff with the Wily Kittens, though, was pretty awful. I get that their part was there for the kiddies to have something to break the tension, but it felt out of place in this episode. Their interludes would immediately kill any momentum being built up by the main story.

But the introduction of a new character, one who should remain a part of the team, is a welcome development. Pumyra was given a fantastic introduction, was shown to be a great warrior, and will hopefully signal an end of the “love triangle” aspect of the show. The revelation of Mount Pun-Darr was also a nice touch. The less said about the twins adventure, the better.

Bottom Line
The main story of the episode was enough to overpower the weak and unnecessary twins side story. The crew have added a, potentially, great new character and set up the next leg of the story. Plus it also washes the bad tase of last weeks episode out of your mouth.

Overall: 8 out of 10

    Wow Lion-O nice way to tip off the Doberman that you're going to attempt to free Pumyra.


    Ok the needing the cane, blanket, and button thing was kinda stupid. If he hadn't stolen them he wouldn't have needed them.

    I thought of that too, lol.
    I wonder if they're going to make Tookit at recurring character. He can come in handy. I could do without the accent though. LOL.

    Good episode. But I kinda wish they had left out the whole thief thing and focused on Pumyra, the Pit, and Panthro and Dobo's friendship.

    Me too. I thought that was a distraction unless they want to introduce Tookit's character and would be recurring.

    Pumyra is still a medic, wrapping up Lion-O's arm...I saw no shipping signs...yet...lol!

    Good episode. I hope seeing Pumyra bandaging up Lion-O's arm is a precursor to her being the medic type like in the OS. The dynamic between Pumyra and Lion-O seemed a bit rushed to me though. From how much she wanted to hurt him and then a few kicks later and she refuses to finish him off, and how quickly the dogs chanted to let them live. Didn't really seem like it was an epic enough battle for a mass reaction like that but I still like the episode. Can't wait to see what happens next.

    Great episode. I wonder how the other Thunderians who are enslaved at Plundarr, will respond to Lion-o? Probably not any better than Pumyra did at first.

    So apparently Lion-O's way of winning this is to copycat what Tygra did a few episodes ago. Let the enemy kick the litter out of his box, except Lion-O was going with until things work out right in their own way.

    Yea i thought they were chanting "let them live" and thats why he ended up saying that they could leave the arena free. I may be wrong because I was doing a few things around the house at that time but thats what i thought was going on.

    Lion-O wasn't trying to win.

    Though I do wonder why, if he didn't intend to fight back, he still kept that axe in his hand for so long.

    I'm sure he'll be back sooner than expected. Besides, he still has Kit and Kat's stuff.

    After 18 episodes of set-up, all of which were good some great I feel like after today's episode we are finally cooking! Good momentum, here's hoping that CN doesn't screw that momentum up again. I know cats have 9 lives but rarely do tv shows get more than 2 chances. Bandai we could use your help too. Here's hoping that after several months of what has been seemlingly mismanaged coordination efforts on all fronts, we get an strong consolidated intelligent stragic effort. Thundercats HO!

    Nah, he's just there to fill out the episode and cut all the drama and violence with humor and slapstick.

    He could have walked out unarmed instead of with a weapon and shield. Seems the writers didn't want Lion-O to be fighting Pumyra and instead chose the do nothing path as a way out to make her beat him up until she changes.

    Because he found out the real reason Panthro left him.

    Tygra was buying time for his allies to pick the locks (a previously established skill), Lion-O was trying to prove a point.

    The soap-operaish fashion stereotype would be my guess. Because if they are for real, I strongly suggest moving out of that circle of acquaintances.

    What are you talking about? I didn't say women don't get jealous. We are human, and just like men we experience human emotions. The problem with your post is that it basically confirms the whole, "women only want what they can't have, and they'll wreck everyone else's happiness to get it". Also, let toss in the " We're a bunch of indecisive ninnies who don't know what we want".
    We've all seen someone get into these kinds of messes, but it's not cool to pin it on women exclusively.

    No, the "bigger man" wouldnt have said that misogynistic BS in the first place, but ok

    I loved Dobo! Dobermans are some of the sleekest looking animals out there. They're are like the Audi's of dog world.

    Pumyra was great ! I think she may have idolized Lion-O a bit, and that added to her frustration. Also seems like she's lost someone important in the aftermath. Get those tissues ready, I think were in for another TCat sob fest ! Lion-O was right, this girl is a piece of work! She was dishing out some good moves, I wonder how she became such a good fighter . Was she training for some sort of military position?

    Though, we could have done without the B plot with the twins. Honestly, Tookit was interesting enough to have priority focus. I would have liked it to be another episode.

    All in all, I enjoyed myself.

    I don't know if I can resist a Tygra x Pumyra ship. Who else sees similarities between them? Fierce, loyal yet capable of telling their king to ****-off if they think he's wrong.

    I'm sorry Cheetara fans, but she just appears bland compared to Pumyra. If we can get the gist of a character's personality in one episode while we struggle to get another's after 19 episodes, don't you guys think the writers have been unfair on her?

    It could go that way, or Lion-O could end up with a female version of his brother. Now that,would be something else

    Yes they are unfair to Tara. I'm hoping they would develop her character more.

    I don't think I can handle a Ty/Myra ship. They might kill each other.

    Panthro's thunderarms should fire and blow up stuff, not stretch. I still have this bittersweet feeling about the crossbow, you know why It kicks serious butt.

    I still can't come into terms with how she shoots pebbles through it. I can accept it if there was a barrel and some sort of trigger.. but shooting pebbles with a wound string?

    The new episode introduces a new Thundercat named Pumyra, whom is shown to be a slave gladiator after she was taken from Thundera when the Lizard Army invade it back in the pilot. Pumyra's relationship with Lion-O was off to a rocky start as she blames him for something that wasn't exactly true with the Thunderians' enslavement. The only reason she was able to beat Lion-O was because Lion-O refuses to fight back and it took his getting back up that got through to her. I wish they'd show flashbacks of how Pumyra and the other Thunderians were enslaved instead of flashbacks between Panthro and that dog warrior. The second storyline was seeing the twins' thievery reflecting back at them when they meet Tookit, whose thievery rivals theirs. A good episode that serves as Pumyra's introduction.

    I thought the episode was too fast.

    The kit and kat part was cute, but it didn't need it.

    Lion-o has really matured. He was right to try and save her. He is the King.

    I think this was the set up for the Cats to save the other cats. I didn't realize it was a mine.

    I still can't get past pumyra's hair and voice. Her voice reminds me of the voice of the stronger women in anime.

    Like the panthro part.

    Can we get some flashbacks of cheetara???

    I was thinking about that. Now, we know that Lion-O will be a good king, has shown so much growth since the first episode. But to the Thundarians, he's still the same almost-kitten with his head in the clouds, chasing legends and stories, showing up late for important ceremonies, and still physically inferior to Tygra. Maybe some of them will have been protected by him in the slums, but that's the best you could hope for.

    Tygra did warn him, saying that perhaps he should care about what the citizens of Thundara think of him. As admirable as it is that he's willing to be different from his father and project his own image, he's going to have a hard time shaking that image from his people's minds. It'll be hard to unite the animals when his own people have very little faith in him.

    I'd actually really like to see that come to a head a some point, especially if the people still support Tygra as their potential leader. It'd be a nice chance for Tygra to display support for Lion-O, or for Lion-O to win them over.

    That is a truly terrifying prospect, no? XD

    Agree. I think the people will not accept him at first. I think how she feels is the same way they feel.

    I agree, why would you want to be with someone you don't want to be like. She looks like tygra with her hair too.

    I'm sorry Cheetara fans, but she just appears bland compared to Pumyra. If we can get the gist of a character's personality in one episode while we struggle to get another's after 19 episodes, don't you guys think the writers have been unfair on her?

    PS: Long time TCL/T.ws lurker here. Nice to meet y'll thunderfans.
    I couldn't say it better about cheetara myself.

    Welcome aboard.

    Another great episode. Pumyra was definitely not what I was expecting, but that was a good thing. I loved the bow she had. Nice reference to Mandora (though I'd love to see Mandora in this show too). With how Pumyra reacted to Lion-O, I'm curious to see how this will develop in future episodes. Should definitely be interesting to see some more Thunderians.

    I really liked the sort of Lando-ish way they introduced Dobo. His and Panthro's history was really interesting. When I had read that we would be getting some info on Panthro in this episode, my first thought was that he was prisoner here at some point. Didn't expect that he had made friends with the dog that eventually took over the place. Should be interesting to see if this friendship comes in handy in future episodes.

    Mount Plundarr was definitely an interesting way to end the episode. Makes me think that old Mumsy's sword was taken from his ship after the crash. Next week's episode will definitely be interesting.

    I think what happened with Pumyra will be a foreshadowing of how the other Thunderians will react to Lion-O being the king because only now 7 people know it.

    I can see the Sword of Plundarr at the Mt. Plundarr and maybe Mumm-Ra would appear again.
