His Dad is dead, he's now the king, his kingdom burned to the ground, he has an army of lizardfolk on his ass and he's basically the only hope for stopping the evil mummy monster that wants to enslave the world. Shouldn't he be a bit uneven?

I agree, but I think what each episode is going to be about is Lion-O feeling certain negative emotions, and then through his adventures coming to terms with each of them. Episode 3 was anger and obsessiveness, Episode 4 was depression and loss of hope. Where I think they are going wrong is that they are going TO FAST with these. He shouldn't learn a lesson in the span of a single episode, and thus each of his lessons feels quick and erratic. In the old Thundercats it took a few episodes for Lion-O to get over most of his childishness, and yet this new one he went from childish curiosity to revenge fueled to almost scared and hopeless.
Really, I sometimes feel that Tygra also suffers from erratic personality, and I am STILL waiting for the Thunderkittens to actually be useful. Last episode the most useful thing they did was throw fruit at a lizardman, but during the actual "attack" we see them run in, then run away. They didn't even get a "beat up all these lizardmen" scene like the adults.
P.S Anyone notice that Tygra, at the beginning, used his classic whip, but now that the show is underway he uses a pistol like some marksman? It's hilarious, because he never stops using that gun now.
