Wait... the TMNT met the Power Rangers?!?!

Bakushan · 12-29-2013, 10:48 PM

Just saw this for the first time. Someone please explain!!!

*CyberCubed* · 12-29-2013, 10:52 PM

As seen from the picture, its from the terrible Next Mutation days. Since Saban produced Next Mutation and Power Rangers, it was easy to do a crossover.

The episode is actually on the TMNT Next Mutation DVDs.

Let us never speak of this again.

Perhaps it is better that way.... I honestly didn't know about it until years after its demise. I almost wish I never watched any of it. It showed up during a otherwise busy time in my life in which I didn't watch much TV. I only want the DVDs from a completionist standpoint.

Casuals.

In my opinion, it's not one of the weakest iterations, It's the weakest iteration, by far.

I didn't see Next Mutation when it aired at all and have been curious about it for years. I finally picked up the dvd's recently and my 4 year old stepson absolutely loves it!!! Obviously as an adult I can say it's a pretty bad show, but let's be honest...it's a show for kids. I don't hate on it and I'm glad I bought them. Now if I could only get the 4KIDS dvd's re-released!!!!!!!!

Its best that you leave it at the amusement that they met and not indulge into it further. Its not really the Power Rangers , its the Turbo replacements and an arrogant alien ranger meeting up with the Ninja Turtles brainwashed along with the female turtle. Its not what you think and there is a reason I left Power Rnagers fandom with this episode.Trust me, just ignore it.

Casey · 12-30-2013, 08:23 AM

Yes. Just stop prodding. It'll only make you feel sick. I really wanted that show to be good. I couldn't make it past the 3rd episode. Of course, I think I was in middle school by then, so I wasn't their target audience. I just kept hoping it was gonna be like the first live action film or at the very least Secret of the Ooze. Also, I never got on board with the rangers. Always resented them for ending the era of turtles.

I dont think I will take the time to watch any of these.

Casuals.

That sucks. No-one should be below anyone.

Lemme clear this up.

To me... and my friends whom know me... I am the Ultimate TMNT Fan. Now then, in the greater world of all TMNT fandom... no... I am not even a blip on the radar. It's fine, I dont mind. Its not a contest.

For me personally, TMNT begins in 1988, and ends around 1993. That's it. Call me casual, call me whatever makes you happy. But I assure you that I am not beneath anyone... nor am I above...

I am just Jared.

My interest in the TMNT is centered around the time in my life when I was into it as a child... 88-93, so that is the memorabilia I seek, the movies I watch, the cartoons I enjoy, the toys I think are the best. This is the time when TMNT ruled the world... the glory days... the biggest spotlight in TMNT history... and that's the way I choose to remember them.

Have I watched some of the Nick Toons? Sure! Do I own all of the new Nick toys NIB? Sure! But the nick version... any version... is all a echo... a reflection... of the true power of the TMNT from the days that they truly ruled America....

At least to me.

Anyways, I genuinely hope that this movie will do for TMNT that Transformers did for that line. A total rejuvenation and re-imagining of the IP that brings in a new generation of TMNT fans. That would be beautiful.

If you did not have the good luck to be a 7 year old kid in 1991 and experience TMNT at full force.... man... im sorry. It was glorious, and had a psychological effect on me that exists to this very day.

If TMNT were like Christmas trees, Next Mutation would be the Charlie Brown tree. It wasn't such a bad tree after all. I'm part of the "meek minority" where there are TMNT fans that like Next Mutation & Coming Out of Their Shells.

Sure I was fooled that Next Mutation didn't have a band episode, though Good Dragon came the closest when Mikey played the organ. Remember, Raph made his motorcycle debut starting with Next Mutation.

So I like my TMNT to rock & play instruments. Mikey's much better using sticks, mallets & brushes than nun chucks.

I'm pretty sure the Power Rangers had nothing to do with ending Next Mutation.

Every franchise has something that it's least proud of. TMNT has the Next Mutation series and its crossover with Power Rangers.
