ThunderCats Idea: On the Subject of Mumm-Ra

For quite a bit I've been talking about if I were to do my own ThunderCats series and it has been focusing on the cats themselves, but I actually want to talk about Mumm-Ra and how he would be.

To start, Mumm-Ra would be not be a unique being, but a member of a cabal of evil sorcerers operating from the shadows, each with a different motif. One would have an Aztec motif for instance. One of the many things they would represent is Man's fear of the Unknown and would actively try to keep it that way to the point of assassinating anyone who tries to prove their existence.

I've said that Thundera would be a diarchy, have a two-king system, with one king being a tiger and the other a lion. Javan, Tygra's father in the 2011 series, would have been Tygra's father as well, his predecessor as the House of Tigris' King of Thundera. Javan would be so close to proving that Mumm-Ra and his cabal are real only to come to the realization too late Mumm-Ra has been manipulating Thundera for centuries under the identity of Pumm-Ra, a mysterious cougar who seems to have always been in the inner circle and is strangely the only non-Pantherine cat to have any position of authority as Thundera's chief minister, leading to rumours that Pumm-Ra is so wealthy that he literally bought the position. Javan would be found dead the next morning in his office, just seeming like he suddenly passed for no reason.

As Pumm-Ra, Mumm-Ra would manipulate things so Thundera was always in a state of quasi-perpetual war and may or may not have been responsible for Thundera's imperialism and warmongering that has in turn corrupted it. Having read about the Claudus from "ThunderCats Roar", where he was a tyrannical jerk, I would play that seriously and combine it with 2011 Claudus, who showed favouritism and was a bit racist, but twist it because, after Claudus lost his parents at a young age, he was practically raised by Mumm-Ra as Pumm-Ra, resulting him being a combination of those two portrayals.

Claudus' favouritism and racism would be played differently. His favouritism would be for an older biological brother of Lion-O who predeceased him and would generally hold all non-Pantherine cats with contempt, except for Pumm-Ra. The older brother of Lion-O would have actually died in a brawl. The character of Lion-S from "Roar" would also be re-imagined as a more serious character, an older sibling of Lion-O who was stepped over. In Thundera, age would take precedence over gender.

It would eventually be revealed that the real reason Claudus stepped over Lion-S is that Lion-S isn't Claudus' daughter, she would be Lion-O's half-sister due to a rough period in Claudus and his wife's marriage that led her to seek happiness in the arms of another man. Not Mumm-Ra, I am assuring you that it was not Mumm-Ra as Pumm-Ra. 2011 Mumm-Ra calling Pumyra "Beloved" was bad enough.

Following the death of Lion-O's brother, Mumm-Ra would become far less concerned with Thundera, viewing Lion-O and Tygra as harmless. It wouldn't be until the reforms they introduce start helping Thundera and peace treaties are successfully made that Mumm-Ra would realize that they are a threat to him and his cabal. The realization that Pumm-Ra actually is Mumm-Ra would be like an end of season thing with the climax being a battle between Mumm-Ra, the first time we actually see him as Mumm-Ra instead of Pumm-Ra, and the ThunderCats.

What would the motives of Mumm-Ra and his cabal be? Well, that would be connected to the fear of the unknown thing. They'd be these beings of unknown origin with equally unknown motives who would occasionally make cryptic reference to some "Ancient Spirits."

But, that's enough of that. Does it make sense, maybe not. Is it a great idea? Maybe not. Still, just getting it out there.
