In the pilot, the Thunder Kittens were older than Liono, but when they got to Earth, all of the Thundercats aged a little.
Why were Wiley Kit and Wiley Kat still considered children and Liono was considered older than them?
Plot hole.
shareyou know something I always said the same thing, but think everyone traveled without suspension capsules besides the thundercats and never aged, then their constant flying back n forth to new thundera never aged anyone ..Big deal they added a booster to the feliner..the distance was still the same and they did it constantly..
Forget this even how many times did lion-o try and run after his sword when all he had to do was call it, or in the earlier part never say HO, or the idea the thunder thunder thunder cats HOOO only call the others.. Later in the show it was such a stronger power..
Exodus was an awesome first episode..

because he was the lord of the thundercats and had to grow up quickly, the thunder kids didn't have that sort of responsibility and could enjoy there childhood. lion-o aged due to a leak in his time capsle but no one else did
Thunderbirds Aren't Slow
We just watched the first episode on On Demand, and no mention is made of a leak in the stasis capsule. Jaga says that everyone ages in the capsules, which is why he wouldn't make it (because he's so old already) and that's why he won't go into the capsule, but will stay out and pilot the ship.
So yeah, Thunder Kittens = plot hole.
"She's gotten herself engaged to an inebriated newt-fancier!"
The logical thought would be the capsule malfunctioned. You could say "What about...", but then you'd just be over analysing a cartoon. I mean, you could also ask how that claw shield stuck to Lion-O's leg all the time, it's not like it was magnetic. Just a cartoon.

Right, plus with New Thundera, we don't know how far from Third Earth it is verses how the original Thundera was. You'll get plot holes in anything fiction though. Read 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas if you don't believe me-or Harry Potter.

More plotholes developed later, when Thundera reformed (terrible writers choice by the way?) by Mumm-Ra simply using magic/Everliving Spirits Of Evil, to do so. And traveling between Thundera and Third Earth was no longer so far apart than a simply traveling in space for a few hours, back and forth between them.
Yet in the pilot Thundera and 3rd Earth were clearly in different starsystems, in order for that long massive passage the Thundercat's 'Royal Flagship' and Mutants took for so many years/decades/centuries? before even getting anywhere near 3rd Earth etc.

wasn't there something stated about kit and kat that they where like small house cats ? the others where bigger prey hunting cats while the kittens acted more playfuly .maybe smaller thundairens aren't as smart as the bigger cats are, but are fighters when they need to (like snarf).
shareAnd for the record, Everybody else didn't age. Don't think people need to look into that comment about some aging takes place by Jaga too heavily etc (otherwise the Thunderkittens would've ended up being physically adults too?). The biggest rumor and theory of T-Cats lore is, that Jaga himself messed about with the suspension capsule of Lion-O's so he'd be physically ready to be leader of the Thundercats once they got to 3rd Earth. Now, if the other Thundercat nobles aged as well, they'd have been middle-aged or something upon arrival on 3rd Earth.
Same goes for the Thunderkittens, they didn't age. But yes they were older than Lion-O when they all left Thundera. Lion-O, is the prime example of the boy-in-a-man's body cliche. Moreso than Prince Adam of the Masters Of The Universe franchise, who becomes He-Man. That was always the fun part of series, the Thundercats being lead by the 'boy prince', who's in a man's body.

Ah, yes, Watson's ever changing bullet wound.

If you read the Sherlock Holmes mysteries-the complete volumes-you'll find that he first says he's shot in his arm and in a later mystery, the injury has made its way to his leg. I only referenced it to show the plot hole.

Oh right. Yeah i know of those. According to film director Nicholas Meyer, Conan Doyle was a great writer, who kept his readers entralled, but didn't pay attention to continuity as much with the little details. And so later on when questioned on these errors, he brushed them off saying, long as i hold my readers with a great story, thats all that matters at the present time!
Not minding that his Sherlock Holmes facts and story plotlines changed over time!
Think as time gone on, critics and fans alike truly do love and appreciate continuity ALOT more though, and it DOES matter in the end!

On this matter, you need to get in the head of the author. His focus is to bring a fascinating story to life, not necessarily get bogged down in the minutiae. It is possible that if they did, they would get bored with it and let it go.
shareIt is possible to do both. Babylon 5, for example. Joe Straczynski sorted out all the minutiae in advance, which helped to eradicate continuity errors of this nature. But that's easier to do when you're writing pretty much the whole thing yourself. When a series gets written by lots of different writers, little mistakes like this are inevitable.
As for the whole thing of the Thunderkittens never ageing, and the line about "some ageing does take place" - do we actually know the lifespan of a Thunderian? Or are we just assuming an equivalent lifespan to a human being?
It's like Visionaries, set on another planet, we assume that the human characters have the equivalent lifespan to humans on Earth. But we don't actually know that. Indeed, if the flashback scenes are anything to go by, they probably live a lot longer than we do. Especially as they'd had an Age of Technology for 7000yrs, medical science quite possibly had them living to 200yrs old - we don't know.
They're cats, so probably 15-18 years if they're lucky and don't get hit by a car!
