Moonpaw shares why ThunderClan is their least favourite Clan.
Hey everyone! Today I’m going to be explaining why ThunderClan is my least favorite clan. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Before starting, this contains MAJOR SPOILERS for A Starless Clan, the Broken Code, Omen of Stars, and actually, like every series ever. :3
Everyone knows that ThunderClan likes to save stuff. Land, the Clans, battles, etc. It can get a little boring, because we don’t get a lot from the other clans, except when ThunderClan goes to save them. It’s great that they want to help, but seriously, do they get help from the other clans? No. They stick their chin up and say that they don’t need any help. Honestly, I don’t blame Leopardstar for bursting out in fury in The Fourth Apprentice. Come on, Firestar! Just because she’s old doesn’t mean she can’t lead her clan just fine.
Speaking of which, we need to talk about Firestar. I know that the whole 1st series was based on him, so he is a super important character. But we don’t need to continuously bring him up in the books, even 3 series after his death! I mean seriously, wouldn’t it have been so much cooler if Rootspring had a different cat take his body? What about Redtail? He’s so underrated, and he is a great cat. Before you argue that Redtail died too long ago, think about this; the same goes for Firestar. He is such a Gary Sue!! No, the fourth cat is Firestar, Firestar leads the battle against the dark forest, and Firestar leads the battle against Ashfur and his spirit army. Firestar, Firestar, Firestar! It gets old. I would love to see some more of the other powerful toms that are not in ThunderClan.
I know the Broken Code exploited some weakness in this clan, and I liked that. For once, ThunderClan was not the best Clan, they were one of- if not the weakest- clan. Yes, one might argue that losing a leader would destroy a Clan, but did it destroy RiverClan in A Starless Clan? No, they kept trucking like the awesome cats they are! And they lost their deputy, too!
So yeah, ThunderClan always seems to get the attention. Maybe this series, it’ll be some other clan.
Thanks for taking the time to read my article. I know this might be an unpopular opinion, so please keep comments polite!
great article I hate Firestar and I wish Thunderclan would stop trying to help all the clans but in ASC I want evil Shadowclan again (first comment?)
Great article! I agree that it is a little strange that ThunderClan is always the main clan who has to save all the other clans. There not the only important or useful clan in the forest.
Great article! I TOTALLY agree Firestar is rediculously overrated. I don’t rly like ThunderClan either. It just seems to me like they view themselves as StarClan’s chosen cats and like they’re so much higher than everyone else
You said it!
everyclan views themselves like that
lol true
Great article! It annoys me how we have had countless books based on ThunderClan but none based on WindClan in the arcs. We need more WindClan and less ThunderClan!
I love WindClan, its my favorite clan. I agree that it would be great if we could get more WindClan books.
I hate it because it always wants to save everyone else, has too much focus, and has like loads of cats related to the overrated Firestar. Amazing Article!
Agreed! I’m actually writing an article about Firestar!
Agreed, but most of my favorite characters are ThunderClan, so I can´t really hate it 😛
Great article!
Cool article, but I love Firestar and ThunderClan. I don’t want to go on a rant, so I’ll stop here.
Great article! I agree.
Great Article!!
Great article! I like ThunderClan the best but I think its mostly because most of the main characters are from ThunderClan.
Great article! I totally agree!
I agree!!! I dislike ThunderClan highly, they are very hypocrites. They villanize every single Clan (RiverClan included) and keep acting like heros when they are doing the EXACT SAME THING! Same goes for Firestar, I really dislike how he always refuses to see what’s right into his nose that won’t be important for him, and, honestly, at least one thing Tigerstar got right! (not much, tho)
It was like: Oh look Tawnypaw is sad nice that’s unrelevant now let’s see if the cat that looks like my worst enemy is sad OH NO HE TURNED HIS BACK TO ME THAT’S SUCH A SIGN and like NEVER brings Tawnypaw’s horror again. Then when she runs away he does think he might have ‘understimated her hurt’ but still DUDE. It’s annoying. It was also really annoying how he villanizes anyone/anything that dislikes him. And he’s ALWAYS doing the ‘right thing’ on his point of view! It gets really tiring…
Great article! To be fair, the Erins started giving us characters in other clans…
