Chris Bradford's career? (Spoilers!)
Has anybody else been wondering what the public thinks happened to Chris Bradford? I mean, he was apparently a really famous movie star. Do you think he has been declared Missing?

Either way the Foot clearly controls the media and they just covered up his disappearance. However, it would be cool if they did an episode like that where someone from the past of one of the mutants comes around and is looking for their now mutated friend or family |

Yeah. Like you said, the Foot would probably lie. |

Most practical thing would be to post online or some press release that he went to some remote dojo to train. Of course, there would be rumors but of the conspiracy theory sort and have little to do with the truth. It's kinda like this movie I saw a couple weeks back where someone had this theory that Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing footage and dropped hints in The Shining

I guess for me I just assumed the Foot manufactured all the fake hooplah about him, including his career.

They could lie and say he went abroad to study in Japan or something. It makes sense considering they have to keep his mutation under wraps.

Yeah, that bothered me after his first appearance, if he was such a big martial arts star how could he keep working for Shredder out in the open like that. Even before his mutation it bothered me.
Just to trick mikey? hmm..I like this theory but I'd have to watch the episode again to see if it makes sense. |

If the Foot had manufactured the hooplah about him, then it wouldn't have just been to trick Michelangelo, it would have been to inspire martial artists to come out and train under him, then anyone who shows promise can be asked to join the Foot, that or the people who train become unwilling members of the Foot Clan anyway.
It would sort of be like the first movie, except that instead of finding wayward teens and using them as petty criminals they are specifically targeting martial artists by having one of their members act as the poster child for Martial Arts I also really like the idea that the Foot has such global power as to manufacture and influence the world into loving Chris Bradford |

I kinda think the writers don't think 'deep' enough and will just never mention it again. It wasn't until they rerunned 'New friend, Old enemy' that it smacked me back in the head that 'oh right... he's famous. so... noone misses him in the media?'

I think he actually is famous, his workout room was full of trophies.

Whatever he was in the past it's all down the crapper now. If he ever stops working for The Foot his only other career option would be making appearances at Furry conventions. A fate worse than death.

It's a shame if the writers never go into this. Although I guess it proves this is a children's cartoon after all.

That was my take. It's a little silly in a children's cartoon way, but makes way more sense to me than the Foot actually employing a worldwide martial arts celebrity and actor.

But at the time they had no idea that Mikey would conveniently PM Bradford and befriend him online. It's impossible for them to be like 'hey, Yoshi is alive... so he must have some pupils, so if they love martial arts... let's make up a martial arts celebrity and plaster billboards all over the city. one of them is bound to try to PM him over the internet! Genius!!!'

Chris seemed to have formed an army of ninjas before Shredder ever booked a flight to New York. He was most likely a celeb before the Turtles ever got into the picture.
