A Thundercats videogame: the rant

Seeing that Thundercats is destined for mediocrity thanks to Manbun Soyboy's abomination, could there be something be done for fans of the Real Thundercats?

A videogame is a nice option. I can't trust TV series, seeing that WB thought that Manbun Soyboy had a great idea.
I can't  trust  comics since DC gave us MUMM-RATOR and Skeletor kicked Lion-O in the dick.
And toys well super7 is in charge of that... guess I'll be seeing the Mattel re-releases in 2021.
So yes video games seem to be the only reliable option for ThunderCats.

Of course the easiest solution would be make a fighter like say a have netherrealm Studios do a Thundercats fighting game. It's a shame that Capcom is no longer making 2D Sprite base games because a 2d Sprite base game on Thundercats would be glorious. Maybe thw Guilty Gear people could do it...

 Now that I mention Capcom a 2d beat-em-up like the final fight games or Captain Commando Cadillacs and dinosaurs would be a perfect fit for ThunderCats. I know, I know Konami had a great team for those type of games but sadly Konami is now in the Pachinko business.

Bought a 3D action beat him up platformer game like the old God of War Games Devil May Cry Bayonetta who work for ThunderCats. The problem here is that the story would suffer a little bit due to their multiple characters... unless the story is divided by "episodes" and you control a specifoc character in each episode... like say:
The first episode you control Wilykat to learn some basics. Then you change to Wilykit to learn the rest of the basics. Then to end the "tutorial episode" the game switches to Lion-O as you face the Thunderkittens in a training boss battle. After the Tutorial episode is finished, Lion-O uses the Sight beyond Sight to check out on Lynx-O and the first true level of the game begins.

An open world game could also work but it would be limited and which characters we could use and by limited I mean we would focus mostly on Lion-O. Oh God I just imagined that Ocarina of Time type of game with Thundercats were Link is Lion-O and Navi is Snarf...
"Hey! *Snarf!* Lion-O!"

Seriously Thundercats needs some respect!!!
