could never put my finger on why i never liked snarf aside from his name being snarf and having an annoying voice, but maybe it's because of his weirdly human feet
even though i believed you before i opened the pic of panthro it was STILL A SHOCK. THAT IS TRULY JUST A BLACK DUDE!!! HE'S EVEN WEARING REAL FUCKING CLOTHES, UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!! THAT IS TRULY HOW YOU KNOW HE WAS REALLY JUST A GUY!!!
soup witch
: yea that's my guess but also makes it worse. The group of exotic animal folk and ...the black guy! No matter what reason he's there it looks so bad via implications
it's so jarring!!! aside from that i keep looking at his outfit and losing it over the little. sock booties with the single big toe separated out. tabi sock leotard. how do they manage to make it look baggy on the shin but skintight on the calf.
it feels like it was originally going to be, like, one-piece swimsuit cut with bare skin thighs and then shin guards + .... tabi sock booties. but?????
i can almost see how they could have accidentally ended up there, just spitballing a bunch of traits and ideas at their concept artist and having them pull it all together
also cats the musical's premiere was in may 1981 and sometime in 1981 tobin wolf made the INITIAL sketch for thundercats which did not start actually being produced until 1984 so like
thundercats was inspired by cats the musical. cats the musical was inspired by TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. TS Eliot was inspired by children. so children have to blame children for the sexy furry awakenings—
LEGITIMATELY NO JOKE MY THOUGHT WAS "i mean sure he doesn't have clothes but he's a cat. like cats musical cats don't have clothes... i guess cats musical cats ARE considered pretty risque..."
au where panthro was the jane goodall of cat persons and he meets lionel and is like dang. these guys can have normal person names? dang i should have just told them my name was daniel
THAT IS TRULY JUST A BLACK DUDE!!! HE'S EVEN WEARING REAL FUCKING CLOTHES, UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!! THAT IS TRULY HOW YOU KNOW HE WAS REALLY JUST A GUY!!!
