Ahhh, bad dream!

[darthsmozers]

I had a dream that the new show contained Mikey in Baxters lab meeting Krang, and Rocksteady/Bebop were in the show. and I was saying to myself, "I thought this show would be different, not the same episodes over again!"

Haha :lol:

[DarthRaphael]

You're strange. :tgrin:

[Reznorite420]

Cheer up...if you dream it, it WON'T happen :D

[Karpo_007]

LOl... :lol:

[tank222]

Let's hope not

[GK Punk]

You're strange. :tgrin:

lol I second that

[That Matt Guy]

You must think about TMNT constantly to dream about something like that! :wink:

[Prowl]

I had that dream about the new Transformers show (that it would suck), and it did. Glad I didn't dream it about TMNT.

[Vroomkid]

I had that dream about the new Transformers show (that it would suck), and it did. Glad I didn't dream it about TMNT.

I have never actually dreamt about the TMNT all these years - and the new Transformer show, Prowl, would be great yet with Unicron returning.

Btw, darthsmozers, Mikey's your fav. Turtle I assume?


**I think an actual episode with Krang, Rocksteady and Behop would be a welcoming tribute to the old toon. Just guest-appearence, or put them in a sci-fi poster in the background in Mikey's room or something, that would be nice. **

[Krangfan]

wait a minute darthsmozers, you said it was a bad dream. How could it be bad if Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady were in it? :?: :-?

[Jephael]

Yeah, quit dissing those guys! Why do people think they shouldn't be allowed on the new series just because they were depicted a certain way on the old one?

[Nturtle]

This constant bashing of the old show is starting to get on my nerves too

I like the poster idea.

As it is mine. We all have realized the old toon is over and done with forever but there are those of us who like it. I love the old cartoon, IMO there is no TMNT show that could be made to top it. I think Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady rule. If you want to go into your little worlds where tmnt should have nothing but action and no humor go ahead but that doesn't mean you should constantly insult those of the old show or those of us who enjoy it more. I will admit I do like the new series but you people are making judgements too early on what appears to be "the best series ever" and the old cartoon is crap compared to this. This is Season 1 of the new noon and by looking at the ratings there is going to be a season 2. When looking at the action in this show so far it makes me think of the original cartoon series where it was the same story in season 1. It has lots of fighting scenes. Then season 2 of the old cartoon came along and the amount of action decreased, and as the show went on the action decreased more and more until season 8. The question is will the new series stay the way it is or are we going to repeat history and have the new cartoon head in the same direction the old one did. Either way I don't really mind because action or comedy I love TMNT. So can we please just stop this bashing of the old cartoon?

well said, also, the old toon Shredder rules too :kgrin:

[Kali]

Well, there hasn't been much (any?) old cartoon bashing for a few weeks, since the almighty Krang got involved. Check the dates on the early posts in this thread.

But I agree that both shows are beyond compare, they're simply much too different. I can say I like the new show better, but that doesn't mean I don't love the old show, too. Just in a different way.

same here, only switch old toon and new toon around :tgrin: :kgrin:

lol, did the original Mirage/Image comics have humor?

[Karpo_007]

Yes, but it was intelligent, not spalstick humour for kiddies... Mirage universe is pretty dark, but still humor has always been part of it.

[Jephael]

It had humour when it was permitted, but they liked to have the turtles act really serious most of the time.

[Reznorite420]

I'm sick of the cartoon bashing too...because apparently bashing it the way everybody's doing it right now isn't enough to make these noobs understand that it didn't start out as the goofy kids show, so why bother trying to convince them any further?

*sigh*...it's a losing battle; the only TMNT most people know is the original toon...when will society wake up and listen to me every time I try to tell them that it started as the dark comic and NOT that stupid kids show?

[Krangfan]

hey man, the kids show wasn't stupid, humorous with no plot, yes, but not stupid. btw, it's what I grew up with so it's special to me. Plus I don't like comics much :D

not the comics, just comics in general. I have a few Archie TMNT comics, but I collect action figures and video games, not comics. I'm sure they're good, but I don't wanna get involved with getting issues and stuff, unless of course I found them for cheap :kgrin:

[Reznorite420]

The original cartoon was PLENTY stupid after the third season. As Karpo has said many times in the past, it should've kept the mood of the first season. We all would've liked it better.

Whoa, and to think, only a couple of months ago I was bashing the cartoon bashers, but now I'm one of them!

I love "bashing" stuff! :D

Even "toitle bashing"?

OH MY GOD!!!!

I'm gone for a week and a bit and this is what I come back to more bashing of my fav cartoon show. Stop it!! Stop the Bashing of the Show. You don't like the show anymore or you didn't like it ever. Fine but don't constantly call it stupid, goofy, kids crap or anything you like to put it down for the people who enjoy it. Why can't this be a nice friendly forum when people can like the Mirage Comics, The Old Cartoon, The Next Mutation, The New Cartoon etcc. I certaintly would like that. But obvisouly you like to put down everything you don't like it. And take great fun in doing so. I love the old cartoon to death as most people know. I love everything about it and always will.

I'm not a big fan of the new carton, the darker turtles have never really done it for me. But do you see me in every talkback putting it down a nd calling it stupid, crap, horrible. No! Cuz i know that people have diffrent tastes and I respect that. Well if i did do that everyone would get upset and cause a big stir because i don't like it. Well imagine how I and others feel when you constantly bash the old cartoon. I get upset as would you Rez, Karpo, Beaker and others if i did that.

I SWEAR TO GOD if one more person calls it stupid and kids crap i'll lose it and maybe i'll start bashing the new show and everything i dislkie about so you'll all feel how i feel right now. And i'll get 30 people i know to come on and post their dislike about the new show to great length. Do you see my point its not that nice to bash stuff just cuz you don't like or you feel your better then it. Let the people that enjoy it enjoy it. Just like I let you enjoy the new show to the greatness you all do.

Lets just get along with our diffrent intreasts and likes of the great Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe, like TMNT was meant to do, make people enjoy it, not people putting it down. What kind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Fan are you anyways?

Thats it i'm done.

[XERO]

Amen, brother! :)

That makes absolutely no sense to me. All it does is cause people to get upset and not feel welcome here. If you're not capable of telling people that the TMNT started out as a "dark comic" without bashing the original cartoon, ignore them and leave it up to someone who is.The original cartoon was PLENTY stupid after the third season. As Karpo has said many times in the past, it should've kept the mood of the first season. We all would've liked it better.

Whoa, and to think, only a couple of months ago I was bashing the cartoon bashers, but now I'm one of them!And I repeat:

NO MORE BASHING OF THE ORIGINAL TMNT CARTOON!

I haven't put that on the rules page yet because I assumed people wouldn't be immature enough to bash a children's cartoon from the 80s, but I guess I was wrong. I don't want to have to give out warnings for something so basic, but I may have to if this doesn't stop. Again, everyone is welcome to share their opinions here, but how difficult is it to say "I like the new cartoon better than the old one" or even "I don't like the old cartoon" instead of "The old cartoon is stupid"? These forums were intended to be a place where all kinds of TMNT fans could discuss their favorite TMNT universes, not just Mirage fans and new cartoon fans.

lol, did the original Mirage/Image comics have humor?I have only read the first Image issue, so I can't say anything about those, but Mirage has plenty of humor, IMO.

-Umm... No prob, Leo! Just... Hmm... like a regular car... kinda...

My question now is: What exactly is "bashing"? If I were to say: "I like Batman better than Batman Beyond, and I would've preferd if they had continued with Batman instead" am I bashing Beyond? What critisism can you give something without being accused for bashing? Oh, and is it allowed to bash TNM? Because no one complains when people say that those eps and ideas sucked...

[Karpo_007]

Saying the old cartoon is goofy show for kids is not bashing. It's a good word to decribe it, and thats basicly what the show is. I haven't noticed anyone calling it kids crap as mondo said, but if someone did, I agree thats really not needed here.

[Krangfan]

Of course the original cartoon was goofy! That's actually what I liked about it. Also, this topic reminds me of all the Beast Wars bashing at the 2005 boards (Transformers forum it would be)

[Karpo_007]

I know. I can't undestand why some people think sayin it's goofy is bashing.

[Jephael]

I don't find it offensive, but prefer the term comedic.

[Krang]

What critisism can you give something without being accused for bashing?No, in your example, I wouldn't consider that bashing. I don't have a problem with people saying whether or not they liked the old cartoon or giving constructive criticism about it, but when they call it "stupid," "crap," etc., that's where I draw the line.Oh, and is it allowed to bash TNM? Because no one complains when people say that those eps and ideas sucked...That hasn't caused any problems here, so I'm not going to make any rules against it.Saying the old cartoon is goofy show for kids is not bashing.

[Krangfan]

Well, to me, calling it goofy isn't bashing and doesn't offend me. Now calling it a goofy show for kids is bashing to me because I'm not a "kid" anymore, I'm 15 and still love the show.

[Karpo_007]

It is a show made for kids. You can't call that bashing. I like many kid's shows, not only TMNT.
