summary and thoughts on TMNT # 3 (WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!

[azure turtle]

I will give you another chance to turn back now. THIS THREAD CONTAINS SPOILERS. DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN TMNT VOL. 4 # 3. Thank you. Scroll down to read.











Okay, here's a quick run down on the major events that happen in the comic. It opens up with a team of explorers searching the mountains of Venezuela for a reptilian creature that many have sighted. It's believed to be a dinosaur. However, the team runs into a strange creature that seems to have destroyed them with a laser-type weapon. Next, Don, Raph, and Casey get the armored car to work. The government prepares an all out attack on the alien space craft headed towards New York. Mikey leaves the hospital with some help from the Winged dude. The incoming Utroms (izzat what they're called?) cause a frenzy with the citizens, and Mikey and the Winged dude get targeted as the aliens. Splinter and Shadow watch the news in horror as several gangs fire at the two. Meanwhile, Case, Raph, and Don get the armored car out of the sewers. And finally, the book ends with a failed attack by stealth bombers and the landing of the Utroms.

That summary was made due to a request from Machias and Kali. I hope that it's enough...I skipped a lot of details, so you'll have to get the book to read about the little things that happen. All in all, I thought it was an awesome issue, and I think Peter's doing an excellent job with the new series. Make sure to pick this one up! It answers a few questions brought up by the first two issues. This turtle gives TMNT Vol. 4, issue 3, two blue thumbs up.

[Machias Banshee]

Dinosaurs?! rock on! Thanks Azure, Now i REALLY want to get one of my own now...Maybe i can blackmail--no, how about bribing--no, i'm broke... Dang! I really wanna get it!

Awesome summary Azure! Two teal thumbs up! :wink:

[Loolaa]

Well whilst I'm here I may as well ask if someone will post a description of issue 2... cos I never got that one. Or tell me which thread it's in if there already is one...

Oooh, Machias like dinosaurs too!!
(I like stegosaurus best)

loolaa

[azure turtle]

There's a thread entitled: "Issue #2 Review (possible spoilers)." I'm sure you'll find a nice summary about comic #2 in that thread :smile:

[HorseTechie]

*snert* You forgot to mention what Splinter was watching before the late-breaking news came on, Azure. :wink:

(Finally got her comic on Saturday)

[Machias Banshee]

Huh? :???: Splinter's pastime?

[azure turtle]

LOL! I thought that was pretty funny... :lol:

[HorseTechie]

*heheh* And I thought my hubby was a cheesier for liking Jerry Springer!

[Machias Banshee]

Splinter watches Jerry Springer?!

*sees Splinter watchng tv, chanting Jerry whenever the trailerpark queens battle it out...*

*shakes head* Man, that is just too wierd...

[azure turtle]

Ooh, but it was so funny! I bet you'll laugh once you get your comic, Machias. :grin:

[HorseTechie]

Though.. I just relaized something... in all the events they were touching base with, they didn't show what Leo was up to at the moment.

[azure turtle]

Ooh, you're right, HT! I'm assuming Leo was still lounging around the lair. He'll probably see the same broadcast that Splinter and Shadow saw, which will give him an appearance in # 4. Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that 'til you pointed it out. Leo fans might get angry...

[Machias Banshee]

Knowing Leo, he's probly practising his brains out... :razz:

[azure turtle]

True, or he could've been meditating...

[Kali]

Or maybe still watching, what was it, Junkyard Wars?

[azure turtle]

LOL! I thought that was funny! Leo watching Junkyard Wars, Splinter watching Springer...and I thought I knew them well. :goofygri:

[Machias Banshee]

Actually...Junkyard wars requires a level of skill, as well as the knowledge of how things work, as well as the importance of teamwork.
And as for Springer.....a PERFECT thing for a practice in patience. :grin:

[Kali]

Yeah, but they're just watching. *shrugs* I guess everyone has that one intrest that doesn't quite fall in with the rest of their personality.

[Machias Banshee]

But everyone gets involved with what they like to watch the most! ya know, like the game shows, when you shout out the answers to the person on TV who doesnt have a clue, or the scary movies where you cry out for them not to go to a room cuz yu KNOW whats gonna happen when they go in...

[azure turtle]

Yup, I do that. I love to say lines while watching my favorite movies, too. :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

hehehe, NEVER watch the first movie with me in the same room, trust me, I drive my family nuts everytime... :grin:

[Kali]

Hey, I can practically recite the entire movie without it playing on TV. It drives my family nuts when I come out in the middle of the movie (I don't bother pausing) and keep in sync with the movie. Or if I start reciting it because of quote someone said. I'm off sometimes, but hey, that's life.

[Machias Banshee]

Whenever i bring up the Ninja turtles, ly family just rolls their eyes and say i'm insane... :grin:

[Kali]

Well, the other kids in my family have been "converted", so I don't really get teased. My parents have actually shown off my Ninja Turtle art work that I won my awards for.

[Machias Banshee]

Hmm, I dont let my family see ANY of my stuff. My brother's always snooping around, and as soon as he finds somethig, he gets so anoying i just want to break his &^%$ing neck...

[azure turtle]

Hmm...my family thinks I'm nuts, but whenever I talk about turtles, they actually listen. We've all got weird hobbies, so we don't mind listening to each other about them.

[Machias Banshee]

What, things other than Ninjitsu? :wink: :razz: :grin:

[Loolaa]

Mmmph.. no-one I know in rl likes turtles. My boyfriend can't stand them (though he did say he would have watched the cgi 'toon if it'd been done...) and neither can my friends and family.
Even my friends I've gotten into comic books, and stuff like Buffy and Xena just roll their eyes when I try to get them to watch the TMNT movie.
*sai* Oh well... what else can I do,,, threaten them at katana point...?

Loolaa

[azure turtle]

Oh yes, other things besides Ninjitsu :razz:

Hey Loolaa, threatening people with a katana actually works. You'd be surprised with the nice results you get :wink:

[Loolaa]

*evil grin*

[Kali]

*glares* As someone who's been threatened by forum members by katana point, I have to say it's not that fun.

[azure turtle]

*innocent grin*
Oh yes...not fun...heh heh heh...
*hides his katana behind his back*

[Machias Banshee]

Hehehe, Azure's in hot water now.... :evilgrin:

*quickly hides belt sander*

[azure turtle]

*glares at Machias*
It seems like I'm not the only one hiding something...

[Machias Banshee]

*acts innocent*

I Dont know WHAT youre talking about.... :razz:

[azure turtle]

*folds his arms*
Oh ya, suuuuuurrre.... :razz:

[Machias Banshee]

*revvs belt sander at Azure*

I have never gone through with my threats. Wanna be the first? :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

*unsheathes his katana*
You can try... :evilgrin:

[PWDESAI]

my family really doesn't care, they know I've loved it since I was little considering they bought me all the videos and toys back in the day. They hate to listen to me when I try and talk about the new turtle stuff coming out though. All they can think about is the $$ I'll be wasting. Oh well Phooey to them.
Paul
HONG KONG Phooey that is
SCATMAN CROTHERS ROCKS! *(plays jazz in the transformers cartoon)*

[PWDESAI]

d'oh, the whole reason I put the name scatman Crothers there was b/c he plays the voice of Hong Kong phoeey. But he does also play the voice of jazz too.
Paul

[azure turtle]

LOL! I haven't seen this thread in a while. Looks like Machias and I didn't finish our duel.
*shrugs*
Oh well. Hey dude, I totally agree with ya on the new merchandise. My family thinks I'm a nut whenever I talk about the new TMNT things happening...they go even crazier whenever I get something in the mail (like action figures or comics). Ah well. Everyone's got hobbies, right? :anime:

[Machias Banshee]

*appears again with sander*

*rev rev*

what were we fighting about?

[azure turtle]

*holds his katana before him*
I honestly don't remember, and I don't have enough time on this comp to check the past posts.
*pouts*
Oh well. Shall we feast on mango lassies instead? :grin:

[TMNT Freakazoid]

Hey I was wonderign where you keep getting these mangos from :P :P :lol: :lol:

[HorseTechie]

...the grocery store, where else?

[TMNT Freakazoid]

*smacks himself in the head*
Sorry about that :P

[Kali]

Azure grows most of the mangoes himself. I'm not sure where though.

[azure turtle]

I grow them in my top-secret laboratory, of course!
*evil laughter*
And I won't tell you where my secret lab is! Only Krang and Shredder know, since it's somewhere in the Technodrome. :evilgrin:

[Loolaa]

Don't you grow them in a giant greenhouse?

[azure turtle]

*gasp*
How did you know...err, I mean, what are you talking about?? :embarass:

[Kali]

Okay, so we're looking for a giant greenhouse. Any idea where to start looking? I mean, this place is huge.

[Machias Banshee]

Mangoes mangoes mangoes.....


Yes, Azure is our main mango munching mutant, BUT.....do you know where he first heard of mangoes?

*makes mango lassies and hands them out in purple glassses with slurpie straws*

[Nturtle]

*Rolls out of venilator shaft, munching on mango* I don't know about his greenhouse but hes been storing 'em up in the vents for years

[azure turtle]

*glomps Machias and takes a mango lassie from her*
Thanks, dudette! ;) You really need to visit us more often!!
*pouts, then turns his attention to Nturtle*
Quiet, you! I won't give you any more coins if you reveal more of my top secret mango hiding spots!

[Nturtle]

YIKES!!!! sorry!!! I didn't say a thing!!!!! :embarass:

[Bowser_Koopa]

there is mango tree just in front of where i live :lol:

[Nturtle]

I wish I had a mango tree :cry: but we get really good mangos from the Indian store :)

[azure turtle]

Ooh, a mango tree! I don't think a mango tree would survive in my backyard...it's too hot!

[Nturtle]

it needs to be real hot for a mango tree though and enough water, I went to a mango farm once!!!!!! It was one of the greatest things in my life!!!! :D

[azure turtle]

*gets excited*
A mango farm! What a novel idea! I wish I could visit a mango farm...then again, the farmers would probably get mad at me for eating all of their goods. :goofygri:

[Nturtle]

:lol:
Yeah, thing is I knew the farmer so he let me have a few!!!! And these wern't just any mangos!!!! But Alfonso Mangos!!!! the best type!!!!! :) :D

[azure turtle]

*drools*
You are SO lucky!! :lol:

[Nturtle]

Just go to Rajkot in India!!! (oh yeah, I'm indian but live in philly) :) or if you are in Jersey go to a place called Edison, its like a little India with great Alfanso Mangos!!!!!! :)

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
I live so far away from all of those places. Oh well...maybe someday, when I get enough money, I'll travel the world and eat the finest mangoes!

[Nturtle]

*Imagines a mango army taking over the world*......

nah... :)

[R-iZZy]

what the heck was that ugly monster in this issue? im confrused?

I'm with stupid :arrow: :P <~ Ninja Nin

[Kali]

Issue three or four?

[R-iZZy]

issue three

[Kali]

Ah, you mean the one that blows the people away in South America? We don't know yet.

Or were you thinking of something else?

[R-iZZy]

LOL.. nope, just the ugly being that the scientists run into

[Kali]

Yeah, we don't know what that is yet, or what it's doing there. It's obviously important or they wouldn't have put it in there.

[R-iZZy]

could be a spinoff... nah!

ninja turtles always had a meaning (besides TNM)

[azure turtle]

Yes, that ugly thing in issue 3 is still quite a puzzler...it's purpose hasn't been revealed yet. I wonder...could there be more aliens arriving on earth besides the Utroms?
