How would you feel if Bebop and Rocksteady returned....

So much for street punks.

Cause animals have tribal markings on them right? They can paint themselves right? They could be street punks turned feral upon mutation. Look at what happened to April's father.

[CyberCubed]

It sounds like they were animals shipped from Africa (perhaps Tiger Claw picks them up when he comes to America), and after they get mutated they remember their animal instinct. In other words they're completely different characters.

Where are the two street punks?

Turned into feral mutant monsters. Get over it. Worked wonders for April's dad.

So more mindless monsters? What the hell is the point then?

I want them to talk.

well... there's this series out on DVD for 10 seasons... and they're in 7 or 8 of those seasons...

Calm down Cubed:

Although they're more feral-looking, they still looked like themselves - Bebop had his black pants, red vest & shades, Rocksteady had his camo pants.

More from Discogod

Bebop was brown, with black trousers, red vest, purple shades, a mohawk (possibly purple, it was hard to tell) and (I think) black markings on his chest. Rocksteady was grey, shirtless with camo pants, white markings, no helmet. When I say "tribal markings", it's not like they're covered - it seemed to just be on their chests.

I've got to say, of all the characters from the old 'toon that have been revived for the new one, these 2 have probably undergone the fewest changes, aesthetically.

[CyberCubed]

Those sound less like tribal markings and more like tatoo's.

I wonder what he means by more feral? I understand they probably look more beastly but they had better be humans too.

Why? Why had they "better" be humans? Why do you have such narrow qualifications on what needs to happen with this franchise?

Are you being serious? There's a huge difference between animals being mutated and actual humans becoming mutants.

Bebop and Rocksteady's appeal come from being human punks turned mutants. We got to see them as humans and then be mutated. Bebop's human design is incredibly iconic, from the purple Mohawk and shades to the black skin. He was a perfect example of an 80's black street punk.

I also like Rocksteady's camo army outfit and blonde hair.

Explain.

Maybe in your little fantasy with the population of one.

See, this makes sense. "I like how it was before" is perfect logic for why you personally would care to see something. Making it sound like an ultimatum, or that more than just you feel that way, is ridiculous.

You don't think being humans before makes them more appealing? It worked for Splinter, Dogpound and Fishface.

And Bebop and Rocksteady are known humans for 25 years.

[Cure]

I promise you, the majority of people know them as a rhino and warthog.

Either way, you're jumping to conclusions, as usual. Wait to see.

I honestly could care less how they're brought in. I could care less if they were mutated animals. I would just accept them as the Nick version of Bebop and Rocksteady. Them being feral mutated animals doesn't change the fact they were humans for 25 years. Just like Megan Fox doesn't change the fact that April never looked like her for 25 years.

What is with your black obsession? I've seen you mention this quite a few times in a few threads. Who cares what color he is as a human. Don't be obsessed with race.

Because Bebop is black. Why should he be whitewashed or changed into an animal?

I think its important because other than Baxter...Bebop is the only other notable black person in TMNT history.

I hate how that topic was closed before I could post in it. People are too over-sensitive. The world is becoming more and more pussyfied by the day. I agree the way he phrased the opening thread may have lacked some serious tact, but I think we're all better than getting our panties in a bunch over something so stupid. Grow a pair, people.

I'm surprised too. I thought people joke about ebonic slang all the time.
