As we all know this forum is just one forum for the TMNT franchise across the entire internet. But what I'm mainly interested in is these so-called, "New Nick TMNT fans," that just got into the franchise because of this show.

These April/Donnie shippers, younger fans, who have no knowledge of prior TMNT.

Where else is the Nick show discussed online with a healthy fanbase? I got to see opinions that are different than the ones here.

:P You could always try the official Nick website message board for TMNT:

http://www.nick.com/mynick/messageboards/viewboard.jhtml?bID=106919

I'd assume that's where viewers who are first interested/introduced to the show, would probably go to first.

I just want to see other opinions on the franchise who aren't hardcore TMNT fans like people here. And, if necessary, educate them on certain aspects and tailor them to the general consensus of the entire fandom.

I realize some of the people might be young kids around 10-12 years old...but its better to start young.

OMFG YOU ARE INSANE.

First off... why do you call them 'so-called' fans just because they started watching the turtles with this show? Can they help it if they weren't growing up in the 80's? I find that to be very insulting. That's like me calling you a so-called Batman fan cause you most likely started with the Animated Series and never picked up a comic before then.

Secondly, they don't need to be educated about past versions or whatever. They know how to google. Plus, most stores either carry the old show on DVD, the TMNT movie 4-pack or 80's-themed Hot Topic shirts. There's a movie coming out next year not based on the new Nick show. Noone is gonna think the Turtles are some super brand new property that was just created today like Adventure Time. Any older sibling or parent can tell them 'oh yeah.... I grew up watching those guys'. They'll know there are other versions past there.

What's wrong with a little history? I'm not saying they have to even check out older stuff, just to see that they are well-informed. There's nothing wrong with some enlightenment.

The first Batman I ever saw was the 1989 movie, but I also wound up seeing the 60''s show on reruns and all other Batman incarnations.

I assumed you ended up watching the 60's show on your own accord, and not some crazy guy from a Batman forum jump down your throat calling you a 'so-called fan that must be educated' You call yourself a Batman fan??? You make me sick!! You're not fit to shine his boots, hell, not even Robin's boots! When I'm done with you, you're gonna eat Batman, breathe Batman, live Batman!!

Bottom line. Kids aren't stupid. They can google. They don't need any of us educating them. I'm sure they have their own older fans there to educate them. And if they love this show and only this show they're still just as much a fans of the TMNT as you or I.

These April/Donnie shippers, younger fans...

Are you suggesting that Apritello shippers are exclusively younger and less informed? Because I ship that, I'm a very long time fan with plenty of extensive familiarity with various TMNT properties, and am probably older than you.

Not to be smug, I just sincerely wonder if that's the impression you have.

Why? :lol: What should people be wary of at that site? I just thought going to an official website of anything would be the first step. :lol:

Some people can take an innocent topic and turn it into something its not. :roll:

The innocent topic statement would have been somewhat believable if you would have stuck with your curiosity standpoint, but the "educate them" is when it hit the fan. I mean, I know you're passionate about TMNT, but let's be honest... the debates and arguments you can perpetuate are drawn out too far (the extent of the whole "Kraang Prime is THE Krang" argument) and your way of approaching things have a lack of tact, and in some cases are unapologetically borderline offensive (concerning more controversial aspects like race and gender issues.)

If you are trying most of our limits of patience (most of us being teenagers and adults), just imagine how younger kids are going to react. If these kids are just that interested, as others have said, there's the internet, it's not like things today are how we grew up (when the internet was nonexistent or in its infancy) when accessing information outside of our tangible "corner of the world" was very difficult.

Who's to say CyberCubed will be gone from the forums? :lol: His "teachings" could be another online hobby of his.

Be careful Jester...;):lol:, because CyberCubed could instruct a legion of young followers to follow his "cubed" TMNT perspective. (With the young pupils responding, "Yes Master CyberCubed. Kraang Prime is the OT Krang.") Then during the course of a few years, there could be a secret accumulating Armada of registering members here that could initiate a blindsided forum war in making CyberCubed's perspective firmly victorious in the 'Drome Forums over everyone else's.

Well let me give you Part II of the scary story ;):lol::
With an armada of followers, the moderators will be overflooded with inappropriate posts beyond their working capacity and soon the members and administration will become weary and leave the forums, leaving the site due to the sheer volume of complaints and aggravation. Thus making CyberCubed and his followers a majority in the forums, and eventually becoming the administration itself. His TMNT ideology will become the Technodrome Forums ideology.

With the forums overtaken, the next plan of attack will be the official TMNT franchise if it does not agree with CyberCubed's tastes. The Nick show doesn't appease CyberCubed? He will send forth his online legion to follow and track down the Nick staff's online contacts and start online petitions. (;) Remember CyberCubed wanted to know the Facebook links?:lol:) Well what about the direction of any future TMNT movies? The same response. Eventually his tastes will become a significant factor of the fandom with the vast number of pupils he has instructed, and therefore change the direction of the TMNT franchise itself.

Sweet dreams Jester... ;):lol:

Cubed, you really don't get it, do you? There are plenty of other forums where TMNT is discussed. I'm a part of a few of them, but I'm not telling you what they are because I really don't want you to corrupt people with your idiocy. People don't need to be educated on TMNT by you. There's Google and many other places where they can get that information. Just STFU and leave others alone. It shouldn't matter to you if kids only like the Nick show or if they didn't grow up with the 80's show. That's life, man. Get over it and stop trying to force your point of view on someone else or make them feel inferior because they don't know the same things you do about TMNT. That is awful and insulting. The forums I'm apart of have fans of all the incarnations of TMNT, so none of them have to be educated anyway.

And for the record, I also ship Apriltello, and I'm not a twelve-year-old girl.

The wording of this just makes me laugh.

I assume by tailor them to the "general consensus" you mean your opinions, since you usually fight so hard to try and make those the consensus.

And no, it's not better to start young. The last thing we need is for young fans to be forced into having your opinions, only for them to grow up and come here. 1 cybercubed is enough

I will admit that CyberCubed knows his TMNT for sure, has impressive insight when comparing and contrasting several universes, and is not as extremely annoying as some may make him out to be, but usually his opinions are a "my way or the highway" tone and he perpetually reminds others of his opinion (more than any other member here). When there's a disagreement, he's sure to add a tone of condescension toward the person that disagrees saying "this thread needs to be locked" or "doesn't know what he/she is talking about". :lol: While it does reveal his passion for TMNT, it nevertheless comes across as unnecessarily confrontational because the criticism of TMNT material has now transitioned to a more personal form of insult. Thus, which explains the reactions in this thread.
Let's also not forget about the more offensive controversial opinions of his concerning race, shipping, and gender representation topics. You can look around the Disintegrator Unit if you wish to see more of that. ;):lol:

Besides all of that, what intrigues me more is somehow he has a knack of making incendiary comments to get people roiled up, but yet clever enough to not make a statement too offensive that would get him warned or banned. ...And he's been here for 9 years. :lol: Hmmm... maybe he's not as reckless in his opinions as others would think ;), and why I created the hilarious story of CyberCubed being crafty enough to take over the Technodrome Forums. :lol:

I think it's the place where we can discuss heavy stuff that tends to get out of hand like politics and religion. But not all of us are allowed access.

It was that place, but it's been shut down for a long time now. People didn't follow the rules.
