SDCC 2015 Thread

[BubblyShell22]

I think people didn't ask about season 3 because they never mentioned it, so they probably didn't think to ask. I don't care as it means we get more surprises for season three, and that's good enough. I like being surprised and not knowing what's coming next for the most part.

[GoldenFlither]

Hmm...makes sense...I mean this had felt like mostly a filler season.
I'm surprised to hear people think that. I think it's been the most eventful of them yet:

- They stopped a Kraang invasion
- We got the Mighty Mutanimals, Bebop and Rocksteady, as well as a slew of other favourites
- The turtles themselves went through some major changes during their time at the farmhouse (i.e. Leonardo matured in many ways, Donatello came to grips with his relationship with April, Raphael really stepped in as a responsible, compassionate leader while Leonardo was recuperating, and Michelangelo...well, okay most of them did).

Not to mention, presumably (and hopefully) we're going to get some good stuff with the Shredder and Karai. Plus that mind control plot seems pretty intense. Probably not as dramatic as the City Fall storyline from the IDW comics, but still very exciting.

As somebody who enjoys that part of the show the most, I'm definitely looking forward to the remainder of this third season. And I do hope people change their minds about it being a filler season. :twink:

[blindturtle02]

I've enjoyed season 3 so far but am very excited about 4 and beyond. Great to know we're getting a season 5. I figured we would, but with so many fantastic animated series being canceled during the last few years, I wasn't all that sure. I hope we get 26 episodes in 5. Now if only they'd show the rest of 3.

Thanks for posting. So Muckman and Mondo Gecko are joining the Mutanimals.

[Metalwolf]

All of this has me so excited! I I'm kind of hoping Shredder and his gang get 'wrapped up' for a while, they had been interesting up until the mid-way of Season 3 and I just got tired of the mutant Karai plot and how lame Shredder's henchmen were getting. (Plus knowing that there is a 'mutant community' now out there, ugh.)

But aliens, non-filler mutants, robots and space, all this I could seriously get behind. And the Tricraratons? Whoo hoo! :D

[Huzzah]

What makes this season seem so uneventful is the Northampton stuff, it took up slut of the season with really no substance to it.

Even though they briefly touched upon in the Q&A section, looks like the Turtles are going to be exposed to the media. Even if not touched upon, Bishop is still happening.

With that said, it seems like season 4 is going to be a roller coaster thrill ride.

[Vicky82]

Oh my god, in season 4, Humans vs Mutants, the return of the EDF that means Bishop.

Muckman and Mondo Gecko are going to join the Mutanimals

Looks like there's a possibilty of dark clone turtles

Even though we couldn't see the clip, David Tennant sounds awesome as Fugitoid :D

The way Greg and Kevin were making fun of each other's roles makes me want to see a "Booyakasha Shredhead" episode.

Edit: Coincidentally, I say this shortly before Andre brings up the reference I made after I unpaused the video. :lol:

[Foombamaroom]

Raph and Mona Lisa has me excited. That means we're going to see Raph screentime, omg. XD

Me too. :tgrumble:

[Ninturtle]

Bishop is probably going to be on the show because they said there would be an antim mutant arc and the the EPF will return.

[CyberCubed]

If Bishop doesn't resemble his 4kids counterpart I'd rather not see him. Just like we currently have "fake Hun" on the show.

I do like some redesigns, Lord Dregg looks fantastic and I love the Rat King in this show...but others are just not the same character.

[TigerClaw]

I wish whoever was recording the panel, Move the camera over to the screen to see the clip they were watching.

I feelthe Hun change made sense because the purple dragons are an asian gang so Hun being asian makes sense. Bishop has no excuse to be very different so I think he'll be fine.

[2K3]

I love the choice of characters being introduced in Season 4

Glad the Triceratons are joining the fold... scratching my head over Mozar being the leader though (I guess Zanramon doesn't exist in this universe)

The voice casts for Fugitoid, Mona Lisa and Armaggon are EXCELLENT (Love David Tennant, Zelda Williams, and Ron Perlman)!!!

Just not so wowed by Lord Dregg (don't get me wrong, the late Tony Jay made him sound awesome, but I never liked him in the old series... mainly cause he replaced Shredder and Krang as the main villain)

[matteso586]

Disappointed that nobody thought of asking about Timothy, the missing person milk carton in The Noxious Avenger, Mrs. O'Neil, and the absence of Kraang Prime in Battle for New York.

[THGhost]

David Tennant, Zelda Williams and Ron Perlman? Count me in! :tcool:

Vicky, you made my day, the 10th Doctor will be the Fugitoid/ Professor Honeycutt. It would be funny if one the Turtles mention a show about a Time Lord and the TARDIS. :D

[oldmanwinters]

There's somebody the way Zog moves in that clip that reminds me a lot of vintage stop-motion model animation. I don't know if that was intentional, but I like it!

Anyways, This should be exciting for you, Since Mona Lisa is coming back in Season 4. :)

[plastroncafe]

This year's Nick SDCC panel was the best one yet.
Hands down. And it was all due to Andre.
Dude was an exceptional moderator. He kept everyone engaged, he didn't grandstand,...just phenomenal.

Extra Special props go out to Seth Green, who spent the last few minutes of the panel searching for a pen to get signatures going on the scripts for the cold read. That guy's a class act.

I cannot WAIT to hear Zelda Williams as Mona Lisa. Heck...there isn't a new voice announced at the panel that I'm not stoked for, but she's my favorite.

[BubblyShell22]

So excited that Mondo's going to join the Mutanimals. I was hoping he would, and it's awesome that Muckman will be joining them, too. He may not be a mutant animal, but he's still a mutant.

[VaughnMichael]

I do like some redesigns, Lord Dregg looks fantastic and I love the Rat King in this show...but others are just not the same character.
It's funny how we completely disagree on this one.
I'm the exact opposite in I think the new Hun is ok while Lord Dregg looks so unlike himself they may have just called him something else.
He looks like a mix between Scul & Bean & Maligna.
And if there is an anti mutant arc I'm all for it and it being lead by Bishop.
I do really hope they go down the X-Men path and come up with a cure and it's a big deal but ends up being something bad.

[Konchadunga]

I feelthe Hun change made sense because the purple dragons are an asian gang so Hun being asian makes sense. Bishop has no excuse to be very different so I think he'll be fine.

Except there wasn't much excuse to reinvent Rocksteady, Bebop, or The Punk Frogs either.

[Autbot_Benz]

I am glad they reinvented Bebop and Rocksteady from being stupid Idiots into awesome Jive talking Bebop and Russian Rocksteady. They are actually competent and a force to be reckoned with

And Mona Lisa will be drastically different for this series, I just hope with Zelda Williams doing the voice, they dont do any weird voice affects over it, like they did with the Newtralizer, I just hope she sounds very normal.

[Autbot_Benz]

you mean like when they made references to Goonies Lord Of the Rings twice Doctor Who in that same clip as the Pony one. All the Horror nods too :roll:

[OrangeNinja1987]

That clip of the Fugitoid was great! I've only seen about half an episode of Doctor Who with David Tennant, but his voice was awesome. I can't think of any better voice for him now. And I love that Fugitoid seems to be a much funnier character now, and his mannerisms were just entertaining to watch.
In the 2k3 cartoon, I never had much of an opinion on the Fugitoid. To me he was a bit plain, but I love this version so much already! :D

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Haha, that was pretty funny. I still prefer Oliver Wyman's take but David Tennant does do a humorous voice on the character.

I wasn't expecting a pony reference, this looks like fun, the fact he is asking the people of earth to borrow the turtles is even better.

[evan2000]

Haha, that was pretty funny. I still prefer Oliver Wyman's take but David Tennant does do a humorous voice on the character.

Actually I'm finding it hard to tell them apart. Not sure if it was intentional, but both their takes do have very similar accent and feel. It's like the exact same character we knew from the 2003 series, which is a good thing :tgrin:

[Ceres]

At least he's more than an idiotic henchman who only purpose is to be comedic police because of his stupidity. He's actually funny with out being stupid and his voice and slang is fine and suits the character. As Amaranthus said he was a tad bit annoying in "Serpent Hunt" but not that annoying.

[BubblyShell22]

Love that picture of the Turtles and how Leo's grabbing Space Heroes comic books. That is so him. I don't see Karai in the picture myself and I've been looking for her. Awesome stuff though.

Okay, I looked at the picture again, and yeah, that person does look like Karai without the blonde part of her hair.

And, yeah, Renet is coming up in August, so that's why we didn't hear much about her.

[Darth Knuckles]

I know I'm late in posting but back when I saw the Nick TMNT panel, I was just so shocked and impressed by each new announcement. Fugitoid seems perfectly cast, Lord Dregg looks a lot like a Maligna inspired character with her design so that's amazing, Captain Mozar is perfectly cast as well since Peter Laird basically made the Triceratons with Klingons in mind, Zog is a welcomed addition and I love Lance Henriksen from the Alien franchise, Armaggon is perfectly cast and um.... ARMAGGON is in the show!!!!, and Mona Lisa being in the show is great and I can't wait to hear Zelda Williams voice her as well.

I mean just that they are using the two most recognizable Triceratons from the Mirage comics, and not Traximus from the 2003 series, is really cool to me because I like that they chose the original over the newer on that decision.

I personally like that they're keeping the Archie love alive because I grew up with those comics and I can't be more excited about Armaggon. I'm not one hundred percent sold on his shark-metal contraption yet but I know nothing about it either so I'll reserve judgement for now. I'm a big fan of both Mona Lisa and Ninjara so it will be nice to see Raph with a love interest (hopefully) in this Nick series. It was also nice to learn that Robin Williams liked the TMNT, presumably because Zelda grew up watching the original series. It's much like how my Dad liked the TMNT the way he did since I was such a fan of it. Just really nice to learn that.

I can give you some correcting information there on the part of robin williams and tmnt, my friend...in an interview with judith hoag (the original april in the 1990 movie) a few years ago she told the story of how she got contacted for auditioning for this part by her agent and at the time she was shooting the film CADILLAC MAN together with robin williams (nice movie by the way).she didn't know what to expect as she was unfamilliar with the concept ( the tv show had just startet and not yet put his print on popular culture) and so she asked robin what he'd think about it, you know...should she do it or not.and robin was a HUGE fan of the comic books since day one and motivated her to go to that audition..and yeah...the rest is turtles history;)...
I think this interview was part of the 'chasing turtles' video clips from the turtle doc 'TURTLE POWER' by isaac and randall and mark and was put online pre-release..unfortunatelly this sequence with judith is not a part of the official cut of the movie now, so there is one more reason why we all should write in to paramount and force them to release a special edition of the doc or let em cut the next part of turtle power;)

That is really cool to know marcelangelo, thank you very much for that. I had heard of Robin giving Judith some advice on taking the role of April for the first movie, but I just thought he was explaining how the April character was a t.v. news reporter, wore a yellow jumpsuit, etc. All just speculation on my part obviously. I had no idea he was a fan of the Mirage TMNT comics from the beginning. Robin Williams couldn't be a cooler or nicer person. It's so hard to believe he's gone.

[marcelangelo]

no problemo;)....ha, look I even found the video I was talking about....

Really cool to see that clip marcelangelo! Thanks again. I love Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin. They are both very personal movies to me and for how extremely funny Robin was, his roles were always so emotional to me as well. Such a great actor among so many other things.
