So I was a little nervious when Raph grabbed the metel pipe and was about to hit mikey! Anyone else feel squimish? I loved the allusion to "field of dreams" I totally loved Mikey in the eppisode (which is saying a lot because I am such a Raph girl.)

I loved that it was "my father" and "my son" and the very end when leo was like, "he's your brother" that was great.

I also loved when raph kept making leo doing the split kick over again...great.

JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!

I loved it... the only thing I didn't like was that weird alien elevator thingy. I hope they explain that later on, it can't just BE there.

Just out of curiosity Machias...with me still being a newbie and all, can everyone lock a thread or how does this system work?

On related note for the ep. however, it was a great episode - not as much humour as the last one, but great interactions still (The part with Leo and Raph talking about the split-kicks is a little too repetitive though).

It's probably implied that somebody (or aliens like the utroms perhaps?) built the elevator connecting the sewer to the warehouse. But if the elevator as only one door for exiting and that door happens to be blocked by a concrete wall in the beginning...how do people get out once they're below ground level again?

Eye of Sarnath

03-01-2003, 08:05 PM

I don't think it was the Utroms... it just doesn't seem to be in their character, tp go around building elevators (based on what I know of them from the comics). But it probably was them... they're the only aliens.

Vroomkid

03-01-2003, 08:08 PM

Hmmm....well whoever did build it is probably living in the sewers right now I think, cause Mikey said something about seeing crystals in broken form when cleaning out the old pad.

Haven't read the original comics - heck, all I know about the Utroms is that they look like Krang or something (or am I wrong on that one too?) So if anyone won't mind, who exactly are the Utroms again?

Shadow

03-01-2003, 08:09 PM

I thought the split kick part was funny...because that is SO Raphael. :D

I think the elivator was done by the utroms...I believe its left over from something...and I'm very sure they explaine it later on...

OR It is possible that while the wherehouse was in use it was much more stylish...and thus needed a funky looking elevator...

BUTSince Mikey did talk about finding crystals like that all over...I bet its aliens. Donnie will just have to analyze the crystals. HA HA.

***starts to think about the old show and how every eppisode Donnie was analyzing something new.***

Eye of Sarnath

03-01-2003, 08:11 PM

I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to be, the Utroms building strange elevators and leaving them. But, as I said, they're the only aliens in the that I know of, so it was prolly them.

Wait just a darned minute... supposing it was the Triceratons? I forgot about them.

***starts to think about the old show and how every eppisode Donnie was analyzing something new.***

Haha, that is so true though now that you mention it. The old Don seems to be all over the place with his analysis.

Speaking of which, I find it pretty refreshing that for once it is Mikey who comes up with the battle armor truck design instead of Don...shows he ain't the only techo-geek in town :)

Aztec General

03-01-2003, 08:18 PM

Wow that was my favorite episode yet! This one was jam packed with violence, anger, and Raphael struggling to control himself. The battle scene at the end was the best of the series so far. The elevator is definetely intriguing, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

03-01-2003, 08:18 PM

That part when Raph grabbed the pipe and flew at Mikey, that was quite a bit more violent than I expected...

I was actually surprised with the amount of violence. It doesn't bother me...just surprised.

On a side note, I just wanna comment on the Casey Jones deal.

Cause last week, we're all hyped up to see Casey in action...and so far, it seems like we're more attracted to the elevator than Casey (in fact, his name hasn't even come up except in the 2nd post or something)

I think the voice actor doing Casey's voice is great. But the end bit with Casey and Raph beating each other on the ground is a little...umm...strange. Love him and can't wait to see more of him though!

Eye of Sarnath

03-01-2003, 08:20 PM

No, it doesn't bother me either, but I too was surprised.

As far as casey...my friend sent me and IM while we were watching it and goes, "damn he's hot this time around!" I was like... yeah but he's no RAPH! :roll:

I do like Casey this time though...less crazy...and it looks like he has a reason to be mad....not just for the sake of beating people up. ya know?

I found an answer to the elevator, just read the summary for episode 15, Notes From the Underground Part 3.

Aztec General

03-01-2003, 08:26 PM

Three other points:
Casey was one bad dude. They got his character right. I also liked the backstory for Casey. It now sets up animosity between him and Hun.

I also liked the role of the Purple Dragons in this ep. They were mean and well organized. They are hardly the braindead push over villian fodder of most cartoons. I'm thankful for that as well.

I really want to praise everyone over at FoxBox, Dong Woo, and Mirage for this series. So far the writing has been absolutely terriffic and the serial storyline is a brilliant idea. It's like a moving comicbook.

I'm waiting for next week when it's Nanotech monster time!

Shadow

03-01-2003, 08:29 PM

question where nanotechs in the comics? they're kinda like the microbots from the old show...

Also...About the eppisode guide I read number 15 IT MADE ME SO LOST...haha...i guess i'll JUST WAIT TO WATCH!

Vroomkid

03-01-2003, 08:30 PM

Speaking of the Purple Dragons, we can now be sure the original dragon leader from ep. 1 is gone probably...(I'm thinking the new leader's that Dragonface dude whatnots)

And in Casey's flashback, am I the only one thinking the big mean dude with a bandanna is Hun...he does have the dragon tattoo on his left arm. It'll be interesting to see how Casey will react once / if he sees Hun's face in later ep.

Eye of Sarnath

03-01-2003, 08:34 PM

It was Hun, no doubt about it. I wonder if that other Dragon leader in ep 1 wasn't really the leader though, and if this new guy is. Actually, niether of them should bem Hun is the leader of the Dragons, or at least he's supposed to be.

DarthRaphael

I need to watch it a second time, but it was a very good episode. This is just one damn well written and animated cartoon. Just awesome stuff.

Actually, niether of them should bem Hun is the leader of the Dragons, or at least he's supposed to be.

I think the official site said Hun's not in the Purple Dragons anymore but rather in charge of the Foots...here fresh off from that Sneak Peak @ the official site:

Hun is the commander of Shredder's Elite Ninja, the best of the Foot Ninja forces. Hun is a mountain of muscle with deadly Ninjitsu skills, and he's almost as feared as Shredder himself. The monumental man was taken in by Shredder when he was a child member of the Purple Dragon gang. After years of personal instruction from Saki, Hun is as formidable foe as the Turtles may face... save for Saki himself. Hun views Shredder as his father, and he would do anything that the villain requests.

The Purple Dragons are the toughest street gang in the Big Apple... but smart they ain't. They are a fierce, nasty bunch of not-too-clever, anti-social hoods. The one factor that keeps the Purple Dragons on top is that they're connected. Thanks to Hun's early involvement in their gang and his association with the Shredder, the Purple Dragons thrive as the Foot's lower level manpower, handling tasks like shakedowns, protection rackets and other small-scale criminal operations.

I missed the entire episode, I woke up and saw the credits, and then I went back to sleep. Did the new Casey talk like the old one, you know with that Clint Eastwood-esque voice?

Cascadia

03-01-2003, 09:21 PM

It was very good...it was very similar to the microseries on Raphael. I would like to kill my videotape. It ran out of tape 5 minutes before the episode ended. Grrrrrr I have to retape it next week.

03-01-2003, 09:33 PM

This episode was really great, I would like to know the mysteries behind that elevator chamber, But anyways, The chemistry for Raphael & Casey Jones worked really well on this episode, They both are equals in terms of the problems they deal with in there emotions, I cant wait for the next episode, Plus I would love to see April's reaction when she finally meets Casey, I'm sure in the comics they fallen in love at some point.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU

03-01-2003, 09:36 PM

I liked it, but I'm not much of a fan of Casey's voice. It seems like the actor is trying too hard.

Vroomkid

Here's to hoping April won't be wearing the same half-shirt again - cause that would just be weird if she doesn't change throughout the entire season.

03-01-2003, 09:48 PM

This episode was, by far, the best episode of the new TMNT yet. How Raph could hardly control his rage and almost beat the hell out of Mikey with a lead pipe. And the utter violence between Raph and Casey.

03-01-2003, 10:06 PM

Hmm.. to be honest, parts of this episode bothered: me mainly the terribly immature/unfunny "he who smelt it, delt it" .. it was just dumb.. Other than that it was pretty good. Casey's voice will take some getting used to (for me) and I also had quite a bit of trouble.. my VCR didn't start until about a minute in, and then their were two interuptions (weekly/monthly required tests)

Shadow

03-01-2003, 10:09 PM

Yeah... A LOT of bro coments...

here are the ones i can remember..

raph to mike while fighting in first five mines "bro or no you got to go!"

splinter talking to raph about anger... "my son"

raph talking to casey: "my [dramatic pause] father once told me..." anger quote.

raph and casey about to get beat up and the other three turtles show up

casey: friends of yours?
raph: actually they're my brothers
casey: i can see the family resemblence

at very end casey and raph mess/fight
leo to others:he's your brother
mike?: no he's your brother
leo: NO he's definetly your brother.

Vroomkid

03-01-2003, 10:13 PM

Oh, and I think there's one where Splinter encourages Leo after he failed to do the split-kick...saying "My son, let's try again" or something.

Anyone notice that the girl who got her purse stolen in the alley looked like Mary Jane from the Spiderman movie? She had the red hair, the beige coat and the waitress dress underneath. The first time i saw her I thought in some wierd way that it was April! But then I thought: Oh spiderman hahaha. Theres been LOTS of references to other comics I guess!

Yeah my first reaction was..."O_o so they discovered an elevator! How exciting..?" :| but im sure this will be explained in the next episode (I hope)

I dont really like Casey's voice either but then again, I didnt like Raph's voice either but now i LOVE it! It really fits him! i LOVED the part when he comes home and apologizes and Leo's like "Who are you...and what have you done with our brother!" also when Raphael first runs out and screams "What is wrong with me?!?!?!"

I was going into total withdrawl all day checking to see if the site was back or not :(

TigerClaw

03-02-2003, 01:04 AM

Yeah, The show seems to always throw out some funny lines in between, First there was that, Intelligence soon followed, Now, Who are you and what have you done with our brother?, Hah. :)

Aright, needless to say, this is my favorite episode... my boy Casey Jones is now officially in the series. Raph is winning his way back as my favorite Turtle too! The Voice Actors seem to be nailing the characters down finally (It always takes awhile) And the fight scenes were great. Wow, no April...
I guess she does have her own family and friends :lol:
I can't wait to see April and Casey meet...

"Donatello, you are the Turtle"

Great oneliners in this episode. The only bad thing I can come up with is that all the episodes have been better than the previoulsy ones, and I'm afraid it can't continue like that forever... :|

And I loved when Raph saw Casey the second time and he was beating those Purple Dragons (who were probably lying down already) in a real psycho vigilante style! :evilgrin:

"How many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?"
"This month?"
"512, actually..."

I enjoyed it. I thought this episode had more action than the last one did. Raphael....dude, you da man (or should I say..turtle?)!!! He was great on "Meet Casey Jones", and Casey Jones's debut was fantastic. What can I say? I'm ready for more TMNT!

MAN, this episode was AWESOME!! Bad thing is, my fricking VCR starting messing up. Everyone seems to have that sort of problem now...

Now I gotta wait until next Saturday (Which is also my Birthday!) to watch it again.

My favorite moment in this one is when Raph apoligized to Mikey, Splinter and the other Turtles. Goes to show he does have a conscience! :lol:

My favorite ep so far. :D

Casey is great, even if it took me a while to get used to his voice. I also like the fact that they gave a reason as for why Casey hate the Purple Dragons and want to kill them all.

But the best in this ep is the way Raph kept struggling to control his anger. I was surprised that they put that on a kid's show... the part where Raph is about to hit Mikey with the metal pipe or simply both Casey and Raph Anger... Not that I'm going to complain, it's great !!! The fight with the Purple Dragons is the best turtle's battle so far (anyone noticed that Leo almost beat them all by himself).

Lots of funny lines too.

Casey: Friends of yours ?
Raph: Actually they're my brothers.
Casey: I can see the family resemblence.
Mikey: I'm the pretty one... :lol:

03-02-2003, 08:01 AM

hey I recorded the episode but didn't get to see it right away, anyways I really liked it!!! It was far from terrible but I can't say it was really great either. The part that keeps on bugging me though is if you look at the end when Raph and Casey are talking look at Raph's shell it looks really messed up :tgrumble:

03-02-2003, 08:58 AM

Ok...yet again I have to change my opinion in saying that this week's cartoon was the best ever yet! Not only was it packed with action, but the humor in it actually had me laughing out loud!

I think they portrayed Casey VERY well. I can't really remember what he was like in the old cartoon, but he's everything that I thought he would be in the new one. And he looks sleeker, instead of the old Casey with the ripped half shirt (haha like April now) and crazy hair. I still like both versions though.

The Casey/Raph/Purple Dragon interaction was awesome. You couldn't ask for more. I couldn't believe I was seeing all this action in one sitting. I am a bit confused about the number of PD's though. The head honcho dude said to alert ALL of them. I would have expected more of them if these are they guys terrorizing the streets of New York.

True about the brother references, but it doesn't really bother me. I think it was pretty coincidental, and it fit in well. I especially liked the end where the turtles get out of the Battle Shell oh-so-silently and just line up in formation with Raph. And then finally, Casey asks, "friends of yours?" That was classic.

Can't wait till next week dudes.

Payce.

Okay, get ready for a long one... All quote are approximate.

First off, loved the Raph/Mikey fight. I got so worried, even though I knew what was going to happen. I think they pulled it off well, especially Raph afterwards.

The lady going down the alley. Oh yeah, we're dealing with a BRIGHT one here! Go down the dark alley to avoid the one punk on the well-lit street. And then freaking when Raph was trying to give her purse back. People are such idiots.

Raph giving Casey advice on control and restraint. Can you feel the irony, here? I can cut it with a butter knife, but I thought it was okay. Awkward at times, but okay.

Mikey bugging Don about the BattleShell, that was funny. "If you build it, we will ride." Mikey's just such a ham. Then he goes to hang the picture up. Attacking the wall with an spike and sledgehammer, Mikey's just way too much.

Hey, and look, Leo's not perfect! The Utrom (?) elevator was so cool. I was thinking, "Hey, isn't it a little early to be introducing the aliens?" But it just took them to the warehouse, where Mikey continued to bug about the BattleShell. "I think he's trying to tell you something, Don."

Aren't you just in awe of Casey's vast vocabulary? "Freaky freakin' weirdo!" *applauds* And, geez, Raph, couldn't you see that "You've shown me the error of my ways" fake out a mile away? Loved Leo's "Okay, who are you and what have you done with our brother Raphael?"

And Splinter catches them sneaking out! Loved that bit. "How many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?" "Uh, this month?" "512, actually." LOL! "Why walk, when you can ride." "Take the truck." Okay, Splinter is now officially the coolest rat EVER!

Raph on his motorcycle. *swoons*

Finally, loved Leo's splitkick bit. "Only a six, Raph?" "Hey, bro, it's all I got!" Then ending with the Raph and Casey scuffle, and the "He's your brother." "He's your brother." "Absolutely... your brother."

Oh, yeah. *group hug* I SO missed this place.

I seen the episode yesterday and it was good. Casey Jones looks alot better than the previous ones. He looked like he spent time at a Sporting Good Store. He had 2 bats, Hockey Racked, and Golf Club. If only he had a Cricket racket sorry, I just like the cricket racket from the Original Movie. This one also had the second appearance of Purple Dragons. The one scene that shows that Hun and the purple Dragons were involved in Casey Past.

My favorite parts are when Micky discovered the mysterious Elevator to an abanded Garage. And Micky's Idea of there own Truck(the truck they worked on looked like the one from the 1st episode, but I'm not sure if it's the same one or not). Well that all I have to say for now. I can't wait for episode 5: "Nano"

Casey: " Anyone for a game of Cricket?"

03-02-2003, 03:20 PM

My favorite part in the ep was in the garage.

MIKE: "What would go good in here. Bath tub? No. Kitchenette! No. I know, a souped up Battle Shell would be great right over there! Or, or there!"
LEO: "I think he's trying to tell you something, Donny!"

Yep, the armored car they were working on in this ep is indeed the one they used to escape from the Foot in the first ep. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Yes, one very very cool rat...and an even cooler DAD.

Actually she looked almost identical to April to me. The only real difference was the clothing and hair style. Before Raph calls her ma'am I honestly thought it was April. Stupid animators... messing with my head. Oh well, still a great episode. I loved the scene where Mikey finds the battle shell while trying to hang up the sign that said "sewer, sweet sewer"

Kay, I finally watched the ep! :D

Lol, I can honestly say this was a good one...

the fight with mike and Raph had me on the edge of my seat, slackjawed and amazed.

Heh, i couldnt help but add onto Sp's words when he spoke to Raph

Sp: So Angry... (Dr. Dolittle 2: So young, so angry....Damn that rap music!)

:D

Mike trying to get Don to build the battle shel was a riot! "If you build it, we will ride... " 8) then having Splinter hush them and comment about the practicing was great...Leo's imperfections are always interesting to see... :P :D

the interactions of Casey and Raph were pretty good, and Seeing Raph APOLOGIZE!!! *swoons* my Gosh, the world'll never be the same again!

Elevator... ~*`O.o`*~ ooohhhh....

I like the idea of the fancy garage...gives them a good chance of getting some good surface time. *snickers at Sp's great saying "why walk, when you can ride"* lol, I loved Sp when he caught thme trying to sneak out...the grin he gets when Raph's like "Huh?!" was priceless! :D I truly love Splinter in this show....

I love the battle shell and The BIKE! *squeals* I love it! :thyper:

Seeing bada$$ PDs in this was really neat...organized crime at its height...

oNce again, they have successfully made a kick-arse cartoon, I cant wait to see next week! :D

Bah, I wish I didn't have to make another semi-negative review, but I have to air out my indifferences. *shrug*

Imho, the writing in general (ie. not just the funny one-liners) for this ep seemed a bit worse than the first's. While the dialogue in the first half was pretty good, the exchanges between Raph and Casey weren't nearly as natural-sounding as their Raph micro-series counterparts. I'm just going to assume that was because Casey's voice-actor needs to ease himself into the role more, allowing for more fluid dialogue exchanges in the later eps.

Fortunately, Raph's voice-actor has improved a great deal since the debut. In fact, it's grown from "just tolerable" to "really fitting", in a special way. I wish I could say the same for Casey's, though. He sounded like some geeky adolescent, which actually kind of pissed me off because I was expecting his usual, likeable self; y'know, brooding and hotheaded yet naive underlying :P

Casey's moves during the PD fight seemed more simplistic than in his battle with Raph, and the fight as a whole seemed a bit choppy. Speaking of choppy, so was the character acting in the first half (wow, I'm just a ray of sunshine today).

However, through it all, Mikey practically made this episode in terms of comedy and acting (as usual for Mikey). I couldn't get enough of that scene where he tries to nail the sign into a wall, and had to re-watch that part of the tape at least 4 times before being completely satisfied :)) If it wasn't for Don's overall..uh, Don-ness, in this ep, Mike would've came out as my favorite turtle of the series. Sooo, in conclusion...good stuff, but needs some work in the writing department. I'm pretty confident the dialogue will improve as it goes, though. The series' one-liners surprisingly don't overstay their welcome, but aren't enough to make the episode.

*exits area before Casey fangirls decide to employ their sporting goods*

edit: oh yea, as for that "bro or no, you've got to go" line was a ref to something, but I forget what because I'm currently bouncing off walls. Double expressos are evil like that.

Dang. Something must be wrong with me. I just didn't enjoy this episode as much as the rest so far. Of course, I felt kind of out of it all day yesterday, so maybe it was just the mood I was in. *pout*
Aww.. well, I guess you aren't that much of a Raph fan then, SC. j/k! :P

And yes.. I soo missed the Drome on Saturday, not to mention getting a d/l from Karpo. Stoooopid Mirc. I got like 75% of Attack of the Mousers d/led, then the person up and leaves. :x Now I'm like two episodes behind. *mutter* I can live though...

*clips n pastes her review from the other forum* One that many here may have already seen...

I will also agree, I loved today's episode! It was amazing they followed the fight between Mike and Raph like it was the comic. Also liked how they made Raph's eye's go dark in the midst of his rage too. An then the arm lock Leo used to hold him off. Though, it was interesting that Leo didn't look near as peeved with Raph in this one as he did in the comic.

Poor Donny, he's being heckled by Mike to trick out the truck. (love those goggles though) I liked how they didn't go all out by painting it green and other wise advertising their Turtleness like in the old cartoon. That would defeat the point that they are trying to hide. Funny that Splinter gave them the permission to use it tho. He's cool there, I guess! *lol* But yeah.. the first thing I thought of when they came across the odd looking 'elevator', was that it was an Utrom/alien artifact.

And Raph's bike! It's even cooler in the cartoon (as opposed to the toy version). Definately screaming of Akira-ness, it was. Can't wait to get the hq download. *rubs hands*

Casey was cool too. I also thought it was funny how they made an obvious height difference between him and Raph. On the flashback of his childhood, it reminded me of Daredevil (I'm guessing the punks killed his father in the burning building) But when they showed Casey the kid, I was like "awww". The way he was drawn also looked like a cross of styles between the kid from the comic called Creed (Trent Karnuga), and the girl on Jacki Chan's adventures. :P

The fight scenes were neat. I liked how they actually have Raph using his sai as a defensive weapon, using it to catch what Casey threw at him. The last one with the Dragons was fascinating. Leo showing off, the humor, etc. :D

Man... these eps seem too short. :goofygri:

i thought it was a great ep . . . maybe the best one yet :o

one thing that really jumped out at me was the reference to the '60s batman . . . it was when the jumped into the battle shell and took off. when they got in they showed them putting the seat belts on, then they had the fire coming out of the exhaust, then the garage door came up (in batman the little road block thing goes down) and then they rocketed out of there and turned crazily to the left . . . now if that's not a batman reference then i don't know what it is . . .

did anybody else catch that?

Ack, between this site being down and working on my webcomic I didnt get to respond to this episode. IMHO, wow...best episode so far!(ok, theyre only til episode 4, but still)

And folks, was that the most violent TMNT episode ever?(and I mean int he 15 years TMNT has been on and off the air) My gosh, theyre really pushing that 'TV Y7" boundary! hehe

But yeah, this was by far my fave, most action packed episode. Mike's continued representin' of the 80's, the debut of the turtle shell, and turtle bike(and we finally got that Akira homage!), finding that secret elevator thing, and CASEY JONES! Man...just too cool.
(my only complaint was no April, heh)

This episode was fantastic... "I'm the pretty one" that was hillarious. Mike's lines didn't get old, Raph showed some real character, Leo kinda sounded like Cam Clark again when he was pulling Raph away from Mike, and Donatello was right on as well. A lack of April (nice funny) was a drag. The lady walking down the alley looked like her though... I actually thought it was April at first. Casey's voice will take a little time to get use to, but his attitude is right on and at least he's not a psycho like in the original cartoon. Even so the Casey from the movies will always be the best.

Jephael

That lady was such a bitch to Raph. He was just trying to help and she practically slaps him.

Micky's Idea of there own Truck(the truck they worked on looked like the one from the 1st episode, but I'm not sure if it's the same one or not). Well that all I have to say for now. I can't wait for episode 5: "Nano"
Yep, the armored car they were working on in this ep is indeed the one they used to escape from the Foot in the first ep. It's the only thing that makes sense.

I though so but how did it get all the way back at that Garage? In ep. 1 they stoped it in the sewers. But if they tooken it there then they already knew about. Did someone else droven it back to the garage? :-?

Isnt the battle shell parked in an above ground part, to which they found a secret elevator to it? At least they dont have to get off on floor 7 and a half. Ack, its late and I need my sleep.

Kali

03-04-2003, 09:58 AM

The last time we saw the armored car in episode one it was parked in one of the tunnels of the old drainage junction. They crashed through the gate to get it there. My guess is that they just left it there until they found the elevator and garage/waerhouse. After that, they moved it from the tunnel to the warehouse.

Hah... ferget the truck, what about the bike... and the sewer sled... an uh.... Is Don really that bored? :P

But I'm not going to complain with this overload of non-characteristic Mirage vehicles. It seems to work in with the story line and make things a little more intreresting.

Which is funny... after I saw the first movie, I was infatuated with those old classic trucks (what's even worse, I had identifed the truck in the movie as a 1946 Ford Truck). Then there was the TNM Hummer phase, and now... your every day armored truck going down the road suddenly appeals to me. :goofygri:

Hey guys, I was thinking about something funny earlier today. In the last ep, Leo was talking about how they should put extra security in the warehouse, to which Don responded "Piece of pie!" While running that scene in my mind, I had a sudden backflash of Venus saying the same thing in The Next Mutation, which Leo corrected her in.

Speaking of Casey and his weapons...what happened to guns? At least in the old toon, Rocksteady and Behop have guns-look-alike. (Not saying the old toon's better than the new one though) How can the Purple Dragon be the most terrifying street gang in NY when all they're carrying are knives and metal pipes? Hate to say it, but I don't think Casey will be any match against Purple Dragons with hand-guns....heck, I'm not sure the Turtles would win either.
They're pushing it with all the violence in this series, the last thing they need is to add more fuel to the fire. They don't want to give the censors anything to hold against them, so I doubt we'll ever see a gun. And the Turtles have won against hand guns, and even more powerful firearms.

Modern weapons aren't all they're cracked up to be. I love looking at weapons, swords, guns, etc. and when push comes to shove, a hockey stick can do as much, if not more damage, plus you probably won't get thrown in jail for just carrying one around like you would a "real weapon".

Jephael

03-05-2003, 10:16 AM

Hey everyone's aware of. Look at what they did to E.T., replacing the guns with walkie talkies, and I know they did something with a scantily clad woman in one of those James Bond films (of coarse, that's a different kind of censoring).

Haha, yea, I guess you guys are all right about the gun issue (and no actually, I don't watch South Park at all :lol: )...and speaking of the violence level, it sort of freaks me out with that shot of Casey's shadow beating up the Purple Dragons.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm just presenting the issue as a speculation, not some downer criticizing the new toon. :wink:

*will not go into what Autobots have done to her mind* :goofygri:

But.. on a slightly like note, the guns. I think there is some law that real bullet-firing guns are not to be associated with kids shows, and kids in general.

For example, in the reissue of ET, they edited out the guns in the cops hands and put in walkie talkies. With the first generation of Transformer, Megatron was turned into a tank since his gun mode was too realistic.

I forgot when this had happened, but I heard that some kids with realistic toy guys were playing around, when a cop droving by. He stopped and had to investigate the situation because he thought they really were playing with guns. Guns + kids = :dead:

Thus... guns kill too easy. It takes some toughness and training to know how to kill with anything else. *shrug*

Anyway, back to Cricket and Casey, when you really think about it - exactly how meancing are baseball clubs, hockey stick and a golf club comparing to the array of modern weapons? But then, Casey's cool so I'll be quiet now before the Casey fans dish out their sporting equipment.

1. Guns would cause more violence. And then the show would be bound from the Fox Box forever. And boom no more TMNT. So it's good it doesn't have any gore at all.

2. I just like the sene in TMNT 1 with the Casey and Raph and the Cricket Bat.
Casey Jones would have a Sporting Good Store membership card. I always say this on the other posts, and here it goes: Casey Jones walking down the street saying" Anyone for a game of Cricket?"

03-07-2003, 01:31 PM

I think it's only slightly obvious why there are no guns in the toon. Heck, that ep was violent enough without guns. The things that really stuck in my mind were when Raph came after Mike with that pipe, and when you see Casey's shadow in the alley, beating the Purple Dragons with his hockey sitck. It didn't bother me at all, just surprised to see that kinda stuff.

HorseTechie

03-07-2003, 01:48 PM

But... what I liked about the Raph/Casey ep, is that while they displayed violent motives, the violent ACT itself was stopped (or trying to be stopped).

They were hoping to emphasize that violence of that nature is bad and shouldn't be encouraged. Thus, notice how they take many of the damaging hits off scene. Or the fight style between Raph and Casey at the end. Out of sight, with only glimpses of them to be seen.

Of course, after I had also seen a number of Asian gang focused films... guns are only used for the highest ranking members. All the others used their bare hands, knifes, and on the occasion, strange weapons (like ashtrays, wooden swords, sushi knives, etc)
