They both hurt him pretty badly, Cheetara because she led Lion-O along & wasn't straightforward about her feelings for him until after she and Tygra finally kissed & Lion-O stumbled across them, and Pumyra because well...She was an undead spy for Mumm-Ra..."eyes roll"

I liked alot about the new series, but I HATED how they handled the romantic angles. I mean, up until the new series came along, many fans paired Lion-O and Cheetara together, and instead she ends up with a Tygra, who was re-imagined as an arrogant douchebag (cuz everyone likes seeing the asshole get the girl right? lol). Now, to be fair, I actually loved the idea of Pumyra becoming Lion-O's new love interest since the original Pumyra didn't get much attention & character development, at least compared to Cheetara and Wily Kit. However, the manner in which they ended Pumyra's relationship with Lion-O was just cheap shock value nonsense, totally pointless, especially given that the show was cancelled and any chance of following up on the aftermath of the season 2 finale was squashed. Basically the show's conclusion left a bad taste in my mouth, the 2011 series had alot of potential and great artwork, but was ultimately disappointing, not nearly as satisfying as the 80s original, cheesy as it was at times.

I guess I just don't get why Lion-O had to end up alone TWICE, and in increasingly over the top and mean spirited ways. And Pumyra...Poor Pumyra, she went from being an unsung Thundercat with loads of potential to being the undead traitor who may or may not have been the war bride of Mumm-ra...That scene totally tainted my childhood memories of the original Pumyra >_<

@Sinestro2828: I feel your pain, just out of curiosity if they did continue the show what do you think should happen. Because I have an idea that if the show did continue I can see Lion-O being depressed about the whole ordeal with Pumyra and cheetara tries to comfort him but he gets angry and tells her that she doesn't want her comfort because she hurt him as well and will probably tell Tygra about the reason why cheetara was smitten with him in the first season. And not to defend Tygra he didn't know

Meh, I dunno man, I honestly don't know if I'd want to see the 2011 series continued, might be better to just do another reboot and handle the characters better the next time around, with Pumyra as the team's healer like in the original series rather than an angry undead gladiator.

If they did continue the series however, Lion-O would probably be done with romance unless they introduced a whole new character (it would be difficult though since he'd been betrayed/hurt twice & probably wouldn't be looking for another relationship so soon), and he probably wouldn't be bitter towards Cheetara so much anymore given the level of hurt Pumyra put her through.

@Sinestro2828: I'm only saying the whole thing with cheetara is that they never resolved it. It would be kind of interesting if they got the chance to maybe introduce new characters and if they got the chance to bring them they could explain that some of them escaped the fall of thundera

I think Pumyra because Lion-O trusted her and she ended up working for Mumm-Ra, so yeah it made Lion-O feel like a looser when he trusted her. This showing that Lion-O couldn't trust anyone except the current Thundercats with him, ultimately making all outsiders look like traitors in Lion-O's eyes. However, we could never possibly know as the show is canceled, unfortunately.
