Thundercats was an awesome show. At least by 80s cartoon standards. Viewed today, the writing, particularly the dialogue, is clearly not up to the storytelling standards of modern cartoons. Not to say that all modern cartoons are written particularly well, but back in the 80s, cartoons were vehicles for selling action figures. They didn’t need to be well written.

The best way to keep your childhood memories of your favorite shows is to not watch them as an adult. My wife and I tried watching Voltron a few months ago, and we were so disgusted with how awful it was that it permanently tainted our memories of the show.
