kristenskWow. So, it looks like more SWAT Kats may finally be in the pipe after all this time!
I'm... I'll be honest, my feelings are cautious optimism. Remakes or revivals of old favorites have a fifty/fifty track record of success for me. Especially in a case like this when it's been so very long. Even with the SWAT Kat creators, the Tremblays, on board, the rest of the creative staff - writers, artists, even voice cast - is likely to be completely different. (Some definitely different as a number of the voice actors have died since.) Will it even feel like SWAT Kats with a new look, new voices, and probably new writing style? I don't know.
Still, the promotional art looks pretty great. (Though the backward sweep of the new TurboKat's wings will have to grow on me.) So, here's hoping it will at least be a solid new show in the same vein as the old one. I'm ready for that kind of adventure again.
