I already did an intro several months ago...... but I have been lurking mostly since, figured I would do a more detailed thread on my exp with the TMNT and I guess what fandom I'm into.
I was born in 88 so most of my early exposure to the turtles was the FW series and the live action movies. My parents had bought the first 2 movies for me on VHS when I was little and I had them for as long as I can remember mainly the first memory I have of watching them is prolly from 92ish when I was about 4.... I do remember the 3rd movie being advertised in theatres but didn't get to go however did get it when it came out on tape.
The FW cartoon I prolly had 6 or 7 tapes of them with about 5 or 6 episodes on each.... I really don't remember watching them on saturday mornings though mainly on USA when they did the rerun marathons I caught most of them.
I did have a 30 minute behind the scene tape on TMNT2SOTO and thats when I found out tmnt was based on comic books however I had always though the comics they were refering to were the Archie comics.... I had no idea about mirage comics.... which when I was older made much more sense to me why all the ninja turtle video games on nes they all had red masks instead of the multicolors.
The only video games I played of them back then was TMNT 4 the time one on snes and I had some fighter game on snes as well... also another one on gameboy something with the foot I dont remember I just remember I didn't care for the game boy game that much.
Then the turtle craze went down a lil bit and I remember previews for next mutation.... I watched it when I was kid and I remember liking it alot.... however here recently Iv'e went back and rewatched some of them and the only episodes I do remember are the east meets west episodes and the power ranger crossover so maybe I didn't watch hardly any of them.
After that the only thing turtles for me was the 3 live action movies which I would always watch a few times a year until the 2k3 series came out...... I remember getting into it alot but only watched the first season maybe a little of the second season and "grew out" of watching turtles.
After that reverted back to just watching the 3 live action movies for awhile to get my turtle fix.... then in 07 when I was in the Military I started seeing clips for the 2007 TMNT movie and got excited beyond anything and cound't wait..... I was hoping it was going to be another live action flick so when I found out it was CGI I was bummed but still gave it a shot and overall I really enjoyed the movie just had a beef with the last 10 or so minutes of the movie plus missing most of the 2k3 series I had no idea who Kira and who they were.
Then in 2009 I watched the turtles forever movie and loved it...... and thought it was funny how they portrayed the FW series... and that's how I thought I remembered it.....
Then after all the hype for the new live action movie well hopefully its live action and the nick toon I got back into turtles.
Since then Iv'e purchased all the FW series on DVD sucks there not on bluray but I'll take dvds..... Ive watched about half of them so far and yes at times it can seem cheesy but overall after watching them over again I think the forever movie made them out much campier than they actaully were.
Once Im done with the FW series I'm going to watch the 2k3 series I would get them on dvd/bluray but I'm not even going to try on that gaggle of dvds so most likely youtube will be my friend on the 2k3 series..... if they released a nice box set in order I'd be down for it but I doubt it would happen.
Other than that loving the new nick toon for the most part ..... still very irriated about mikey I think they made him out to be much more stupid then he ever was in any other cannons of him.... and the don/april thing is a little weird but I'd assume once they add casey in S2 the whole don/april thing will die down..
Other than that just hoping they release decent dvd/blurays for this show and not mess it up like they did with the 2k3 series..... and would love to see a decent video game made something along the lines of TMNT 4 I guess that games nostalgic for me.... I know about reshelled but by the time I got my xbox they didn't have it for downoad anymore
and I'm still waiting and hoping for the New tmnt movies and please live action live action live action
so pretty much my fandom is the movies, FW series, and now the new nicktoon...... can't really say much about the 2k3 series yet haven't seen enough but like I said I plan on watching them once Im finally done with the FW series...... tmnt IV turtles in time snes...... and a little into some of the action figures... mainly they just look cool to display on a bookcase that's about it, I just have the 4 new nicktoon ones... the tall ones that were like 30 bucks a pop.
Have never been into comics so not really my fandom... mirage will always have my respect for creating the turtles but other than that can't really stand to sit and look at comics.... maybe if they wrote actual books Id give it a shot but thats about it.
Well that's about it for now hopefully this time around I'll post a lil more and be active and not hide in the corner like a creepy guy for six months;)
