I've even heard of GPS devices that have Morgan Freeman's voice recorded in it.

[Krutch]

I want to see Kelsey Grammar voice Shredder.

So if mutation can be spread through blood in IDW...would fleas or ticks mutate if they got on Hob, Sally, or Alopex?

[IndigoErth]

lol That would be a very disturbing problem if someone had a flea infestation. Constant flea bathes to make sure no one is spawning other mutants. Else the might wake up in the morning with a room full of creepy little flea mutants. Ew. Maybe I could have done without that mental image. lol



Between other nest mates and those that hatched from nests in previous and later seasons... the Turtles probably have many non-mutated siblings out there somewhere. o.O

Well he is more than a 'Freeman'.

Okay that's an old joke as well.

I don't remember if anyone read this article that was written back in June 2018. I saw on it on Twitter today. The writer and I do share similar thoughts. Some of the episodes from the original series that focused on Michelangelo were actually very strange. Whenever I turn on a classic episode digitally or on DVD, 'Michelangelo's Birthday' and 'What’s Michelangelo Good For?' are examples of episodes that I skip. Michelangelo is likable character with plenty of personality but putting too much focus on him didn't always work. As for other episodes that are mentioned in the article 'Donatello's Degree' is one I actually enjoyed and have seen multiple times.

15? I know it's an unusually long list but it still seems a little short considering the subject.

[Papenbrook]

Okay, I know that I'm exaggerating, but this is THE best shot of Leonardo that I've ever seen.

Spoiler:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

If that's the best shot of Leo you've ever seen, you need serious help.... it's terrible!

[Candy Kappa]

5/7 that's good Leo face

[IndigoErth]

What has the world come to; what has become of my boy...

Though if my best we mean worst, there are even worst ones from that show.

Yeah there are a couple of other ones in that list I like as well as that one you mentioned. I thought the Musketeers episode was fine as was the Mr Ogg episode, regardless of how barmy it was. I also don't mind the Howie episodes or Donatello's Badd Time. The other episodes there I could happily watch once in a DVD boxset and never watch again.

You know...part of OT Krang's thing was being exiled and somehow separated from his body.


Maybe in two or three years, we'll all be making Ghost in the Shell jokes.

I like to imagine that Krang lost his body because the head popped out of the teleportation device at the last minute. Or at least that his decapitation happened in some other morbidly humorous way, like his head getting caught a ceiling fan by accident.

Regardless, it's for the best that the decaption origin is ignored in favor of just making him an Utrom, it's a lot simpler and makes it easier to reconcile his existance with other aspects of TMNT.

[IndigoErth]

Just me, or is that "famous cars" Walmart ad very badly missing and in need of a Turtle van?

Shame on them leaving that one out... (edit: And between real life fan made versions of the classic van and two PD vans/trucks collecting dust somewhere, there were a few options, so no excuses!)

Isn't there a story that he was going to be an Utrom, but Kevin Eastman was uncomfortable with having an "evil" Utrom at the time?


But yeah, combined with ghosts already being a thing, it kinda makes sense to launch the "disembodied warlord" plot in the middle of the story, right before things are likely to go absolutely haywire for the spirit realm and call for an excuse for another Ghostbusters crossover

They haven't made a van based off the FW series, they've made one off the Playmates toy. Would love to see a full sized real fan replica of the FW TMNT van as well as the actual toy.

[IndigoErth]

Fair point, based on the toys.



So... Kyle Massey, who voices one of the 'Rise' Purple Dragons, is accused of sending inappropriate pics/texts to a minor. Considering how Jason Biggs' behavior got him booted off of 2012, well... kinda wondering if this character will fail to come back; sans maybe any already produced eps. At least that one isn't a major role in this case.

[Papenbrook]

Oh my gosh ...

Honestly, they should just scrape his character off and remove him from the show.

They should also fire the voice actor. He should never be allowed to return on the show; make him face the consequences of his inexcusable actions.

My thoughts are with the victim at this time.
