The podcast may have brought some closure to the fans of the show, but it also may have sparked more interest in seeing it being completed. If they kept Tygra dead, Lion-O would have brought Bengali to a statue of his father, alongside the statue of the previous kings of Thundera. The story follows a group of aliens forced to flee their own doomed planet, now making a new home on a hostile world. Norton also explains that they were unsure if the complete set of Power Stones would be able to resurrect Tygra. The ThunderCats franchise began in 1985 with the animated series of the same name, which featured characters created by Tobin Ted Wolf. After the defeat of Mumm-Ra and the restoration of peace on Third Earth, Lion-O assumes the throne of Thundera with a grown-up WilyKit as his queen. The reunited ThunderCats and the united Third Earth rebellion would engage in the final battle with Mumm-Ra, but Tygra dies saving his brother from being felled by Mumm-Ra with the sword of Plun-darr. The Thunderkittens would reunite after ten years apart WilyKat is now a King of Thieves and WilyKit becomes Queen of the Elephants. They would defeat Grune in the Astral Plane to acquire the Spirit Stone and in turn, Panthro would also be able to get his arms back, which he sacrificed in a previous battle with Grune. When Lion-O emerges from the Book, the events leading up to the final battle begin.
