don't jump to conclusions. I can't deny or confirm anything, but things are always changing.

Also it'd be nice to see Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang (as in the character himself) all show up in Season 2...but that's for another topic. |

I always liked Pinky McFingers. If he doesn't appear in season 2, then you guys are crazy, Ciro.

You know, I'd be fine with Usagi not appearing. We've gotten a lot of good Usagi / Turtles stories already. No adaptation has been able to portray Usagi without compromise (although Usagi is a character who lends himself easily to lighter and softer takes) and here there's the issue that unless he's dramatically changed, this series more stereotypically teenage-like turtles wouldn't be Usagi's peers, which is kind of an essential part of the dynamic. The creative team of the cartoon has made it sort of a mission statement to not retread past elements nilly-willy. Is there any reason to have him show up other than "he's showed up before"?

Because he's a fan-favorite guest character. Doy.

Thanks for the heads up, Ciro. I could go either way with this, but in the end, it's Stan's decision whether he wants Usagi in the series or not.

Was this in reference to Usagi Yojimbo or The Flaming Carrot? O_o

Oh, that. Yeah, I never put much stock in the belief that liking a character was an automatic argument for their inclusion in a work. To me, that's a few precious steps away from the sort of thinking that decides that putting Wolverine in every book or making new Watchmen stories are good ideas.
More important, to me, is the question: would it work in this particular show's particular context. And I don't know the answer to that question, because there hasn't been enough show to make a conclusion. Does anybody remember Usagi's appearances in the original toon? I don't, and my first reaction is to be skeptical of claims that it worked, given what the old toon was and what Usagi is; sure, Usagi can work in fundamentally comedic stories, but it's a different type of comedy. It's also worth noting that the two Sakai Usagi/TMNT crossovers that are comedic in tone are also short gag strips of the sort that don't lend themselves to twenty-two minute episodes. Meanwhile, the 4Kids Usagi appearances worked because there was a context set up that allowed them to use Usagi in a way that hadn't been done before and helped develop the turtles' universe by showing in what ways the Battle Nexus was an interdimensional thing. Will this cartoon allow for that? I'm not sure. There's not a lot that has been developed so far, and their world is not yet a world that supports the sort of interdimensional travel that the crossover would require. Plus, given the fact that the creators apparently felt that the turtles being friends with a twenty-something April didn't work, I'm not exactly confident about their ability to develop a friendship between the turtles and somebody who's even older.

also it's the closest thing Usagi fans will probably ever see to the rabbit having his own show (I want to see animated Jei)

As for the Hokum Hare mention. I thought about it before but did not post it. He was a decent character,but he is not Usagi. I do think Usagi would fit in Year 3 of IDW quite nicely. Anyone want to start an ipetetiton to get him in? Just an idea!

Hokum Hare was an insult to the memory of OT Usagi. I hated the character for that and several other reasons.
