I think I've read this comic somewhere before... didn't they go shopping butt naked or something? And the turtles looking at them weird but they themselves are naked this wholetime ...
Anyone know what the book title is? Nevermind, found it edit: I was right! XD Last edited by Shark_Blade; 07-21-2019 at 02:55 AM. |

That whole subplot was wild, but the best of it was the turtles "Oh please god no" (Though didn't Rocksteady talk about his "best girl" rhino?).
"Yeah, we got bored of plants on Animal Paradise Planet, so we're stopping in for some snacks" Blugeon and Koya are absolutely siblings. As for the OTP. Me. For the past three years. He drops face-first out of stasis and the first thing he does is demand to see his boss? Instead of his last remaining family? The same family who was concerned about how he'd respond to his boss's imprisonment? And if I'm going way over my head (and gahh, I probably am), is he okay? Did any therapists make it to Burnow Island? What was so important that he had to see Krang right away instead of his own sister? I don't care how crazy loyal you are! Who does that? (Honestly, he was TAME when he confronted Ma'riell about everything, but he had bigger things to worry about at the time) The ship I'm going down with as this whole train derails right off a cliff and inevitably burns in the incinerator where it belongs...but for once, I may as well ride the train for a moment. (Also, wouldn't that just be a cousin's cousin's former roommate? I've been questioning that for a while)

Certainly full of people who will blindly believe 1 person's opinion instead of reading the comic to form their own opinion.

Sophie Campbell was the target of this kind of thing awhile back cause of her work on tmnt and Jem and holograms (and before anyone asks I absolutely refuse to post a link to this filth). The jerk writing this article seemed to think idw tmnt was aimed at children which should tell you enough.
I've seen incel types like this claiming x-men had been "turned into sjw propaganda" cause Ice-man came out out as gay...like yeah, the x-men are literally social justice warriors, thats the premise of the comic and has been since Claremont was writing. With a few Notable exceptions (Ditko and Miller) Comics have been a progressive medium for a long time, the golden age happened because of anti-nazi propaganda. People like this are not worth acknowledging.

Secondly, no it doesn't count fan fiction in the slightest. Fan fiction does by definition make use of other people's characters (specifically characters that are still under copyright protection), and was written/published without the copyright holder's involvement. You can draw clear parallels between Splinter and Stick, TMNT to the X-Men, Utroms to Skrull, Triceratons to Kree, Baxter Stockman to Spencer Smythe, Savanti to Kang, Shredder to the Silver Samurai, so on and so forth. All the mentioned characters are however distinct, they don't qualify as the same ones. Likewise, anything made by Sophie for IDW can't be considered fan fiction as anything she makes is under the license and approval of TMNT's copyright holders. And in case you're wondering, when TMNT goes public domain (2079), any TMNT stories written using only characters established in the first year will not be considered fan fiction regardless of who the author or publisher is. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenag..._Ninja_Turtles The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Dover, New Hampshire. The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming and bad television with Laird.[3] Using money from a tax refund, together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single-issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics’ Daredevil and New Mutants, Dave Sim’s Cerebus, and Frank Miller’s Ronin.[4] The TMNT comic book series has been published in various incarnations by various comic book companies since 1984. |

Parody isn't the same as fan fiction. For instance, The Naked Gun is a parody of police procedurals and noir crime stories, would you say it's fan fiction?

I get that now but neatoman called TMNT homage when Wiki states it was intended as a parody. So if it's wrong maybe someone should change it?

Yes, someone should. TMNT isn't intended to mock these comics, it doesn't even qualify as comedy. I see why people might assume it's parody considering the main characters are mutant turtles, but anyone who's familiar with the comics would know it's played too straight.

The first issue was intended as a parody of Daredevil, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. It was originally most likely going to be a one and done. It sold so well that Eastman and Laird decided to do a series instead.

That issue isn't parody either because it's not meant to be humorous, if anything it's the least humorous in the series.

Not everyone agrees on what's funny.
And I would argue that there's something at least a little amusing about a comic that's basically "let's take those grim and gritty stories about ninjas, vengeance, and honor duels... and it's going to star giant turtle people." At least initially, the series deliberately tried not to take itself too seriously. Casey was initially conceived (and written) as a crazy vigilante whose origin was literally "he watched too many movies/shows like Dirty Harry." But it's worth noting that the term "parody" doesn't just refer to things that are humorous in content. James Joyce's Ulysses is considered a parody of Homer's Odyssey. Watchmen is a parody of traditional superhero comics. Shows like The Twilight Zone (and more recently Black Mirror) have long done "parodies" of popular genres. Sometimes a parody is nothing more than just an author asking questions not asked in the original stories... what DOES happen during "happily ever after" is a popular source of parody. tldr: Parodies don't have to be funny. |

An actual example of what you're talking about would be how Super Dimension Fortress Macross (or Robotech season 1 if you prefer) relates to Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Battleship Yamato (Starblazers). While Macross was initially pitched as "parody" (can't really find any reliable sources that it was intended to be humorous but let's assume that's the case) the show can't really be called a comedy, but it is still clearly inspired by Gundam and Yamato from the start. |
