When will The Flaming Carrot appear ?

[Kevin G]

It was confirmed on TMNTPedia:

http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Flaming_Carrot and

http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%282012_TV_series%29 and several people on here said that The Flaming Carrot will appear in the 2012 series and I was just wondering if there is any word on when or if he is still going to show.

Yeah I know that I should believe everything you read on Wiki but I was just curious to know if he is still going to be on the show. Does anyone know if it will be a cameo or will be in the full episode ?

i think the flaming carrot will appear in season 3 or around the middle of season 2.

I'm starting to think that was a false reference, just like people wrongly assumed the OT Turtles were getting a huge crossover with Nick TMNT...when its just going to be a 2 minute gag.

Makes sense. Maybe Mikey will just have a Flaming Carrot poster or something.

[saber16]

Well, there's going to be some universe hopping near the end of this season... it's possible he'll make a small cameo at the very least that way.

[miru]

He'll probably be a 5 second cameo or toy-only.

[MaximeLoonatic]

Maybe he's the news man that discover the Kraang conspiracy in one of the sneak peek shown in the last comic-con

with snake turning into a weed, a person turning into a carrot isnt that far out there. hopefully not season 2 though, with the mutants we know of, and any other suprise mutant they hit us with, i think we have a nice assortment, with some returning from last season

Flaming Carrot is a crossover superhero character from another comic. He's a man in a giant carrot mask, not a mutant.

The only way he'll appear is if Nick agreed with the company that owns Flaming Carrot to do a crossover...much like Usagi Yojimbo.

ah, gotcha. i have actually never even heard of the character before, so just gave what i could

[CyberCubed]

He had a crossover with the Turtles in the Mirage comics:

oh. can i ask what the character is like? what he can do?

The Carrot wears a costume that consists of a giant carrot mask which extends from above his head to below his crotch, a white shirt, red pants, and flippers on his feet (in case he has to swim). The mask has a continually burning flame at the top and a secret compartment containing a nuclear powered pogo stick (the mask and the pogo stick were invented by Dr. Heller of the Mystery Men.)[11] Flaming Carrot also wears a crime fighting utility belt, but unlike that of the Batman, his is filled with Silly Putty, rubber bands, random playing cards, sneezing powder, and other similarly useless items (which nonetheless can become lethal weapons in his hands). Dr. Heller upgraded Flaming Carrot's equipment after bringing him back from the clinically dead. The Flaming Carrot also relies heavily on his 9mm Radom pistol to kill his enemies without hesitation.

Flaming Carrot is able to go into a self-induced state of "Zen Stupidity"

[Electric]

well thats....different:teek:

[CyberCubed]

The Flaming carrot was a parody of superhero comics. He's a silly character.

[Papenbrook]

When the Flaming Carrot shows up, I want him to slap Casey in the face. Then, I want him to explode.



Note: I was joking.

[Coola Yagami]

My only complaint is, while it would be cool to see the Flaming Carrot, I kinda don't want superhero characters running around. They already ruined 2K3...

They've always been around though. Even the original toon had Gadget Man and Bugman.

Minor one-shot characters. They were featured so much in 2K3 it kinda defeated the need to have the TMNT around at all. Even Mirage used them more sparingly.

Well with a license like Flaming Carrot I doubt it'll be for more than an episode.

Exactly, he works a one-shot. But he's kinda different. He seems like a gag character, and not a super-powered character that is so powerful you wonder he doesn't defeat Shredder with one hand behind his back, so I guess he kinda works.

[Cudley The Cowlick]

Anyone hear any updates on FCs appearance? As a big fan of his comics I'm anxious to see him onscreen.

Well, no updates... :tsad:

[CyberCubed]

Yeah...I take it this isn't happening. When this was reported either the deal fell through or it was misinterpeted or something.

[Jeff]

I think FC's hopes of ever being in animated Turtles died when Laird sold the rights. I don't see Nick bringing in any characters they don't own, like Miyamato Usagi or the Planet Racers crew. It's a shame because Flaming Carrot is one of the funniest comic book characters ever created, right next to The Tick and Axe Cop IN MY OPINION.

Honestly I never thought the 2k3 series overdid the superheroes.

I've always felt that in a world were all this crazy stuff happens to the turtles on a regular basis surely there are other equally if not stranger things happening to other people in their world.

As for why they don't take out Shredder? Well that's long been a conceit of comics that exist in a shared universe. Why for years did Spider-Man not regularly ask the FF or Avengers to help fight his stronger foes? Heck why did these heroes that regularly patrol NYC not ever happen upon Spider-Man battling these villains? It surely should be a bigger question now that he is an Avenger and Future Foundation member.

You could go down the list or heroes that have solo adventures while being part of teams like Iron Man or Captain America. Why does Batman struggle against street level villains in his own books but go toe to toe with god-like beings in the Justice League?

It's just one of those things.

So much this. It didn't help that they were all uninteresting and just felt like they didn't fit into the show.

And that's why I don't like the whole Marvel and DC universe idea with all of these superheroes together in the same world. Of course it's just an opinion and I've never read the comics but it almost ruins the "specialness" of the character/characters when there is someone else who is just as special or more special than the protagonist. Like how Spiderman isn't all that special when there is every other marvel hero in the universe who has powers - and some have even "better" powers. Same goes for the Justice Force in the TMNT2k3 show - diminishes the "specialness" of the turtles. Also the justice force could easily take on and subdue the Shredder without the turtles's help. It opens up so many plotholes that would fry your brain if you thought about it for too long.

Hi, fellow fans!

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the first day of the New York Comic Con and got to have a few words with Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman. When I asked for the long-awaited appearance of the Flaming Carrot, they told me that - mostly due to legal issues - they haven't been able to include him into the story yet; although they have been thinking of a parody/hommage of him guest-starring in the series.

But as of now, it is unknown - and perhaps quite unlikely - that FC will ever appear.

Agreed. At this rate I think (and hope) he won't show up.

[Shark_Blade]

Why are people crazy about a carrot? :-?

I hope he won't show up as well, there's nothing appealing at all imo.

FC sounds like an incredibly stupid idea.

There are Ninja Turtles...and then there are Flaming Carrots. :roll:

[cartoonistaaron]

Flaming Carrot pre-dates the Turtles as far as comics appearances go... he's such a weird character that I'm not sure how he'd work in animation, especially in the current Turtles cartoon. They'd have to heavily cartoonify him, I think. I'd love to see him, anyway, but that's me being a hardcore Turtlephile.

Far as I know, Bob Burden owns the rights to the Carrot 100% and might be skittish about getting involved with a media conglomerate after the Mystery Men movie...

[neatoman]

I seriously doubt that the Flaming Carrot will ever show up. The same goes for Cerebus, Usagi, Panda Kahn, Savage Dragon, Gnat Rat, The Rabbids and Batman.
