I forgot the site, but useing one of the links on the technodrome, I heard the new TMNT theme, and I'm sorry I think it sucks! The best was the 2nd theme in the later seasons of the original cartoon. Then the original song.

Err... I've gotta disagree with you. I think the original theme song was the best, followed by the brand new theme song. I didn't like the theme song used for the Red Sky eps... :neutral: But it all boils down to personal preference.

I think the new one is ok... But the theme music dosent really matter anyway...

True, but still......the soing just is bad. Besides, does this cartoon take place in the future? It says for 15 years we trained. It's been 6 years scince TMNT went off the air.

The turtles are fifteen years old in the new show, which is not conected to the old cartoon, they are totally seperate universes.

I happen to like the new song. Not as much as the old cartoon song, but I still like it.

Wut are the red eps?

Kali

10-05-2002, 04:36 PM

The last three seaons of the old cartoon show. They're termed the "red sky eps" because, well, the sky was always painted red. It had this really weird opening sequence with clips from the first movie added in, and they cut the original song up.

Im currentlu wacthing 5:th season... i Cant wait until i get to the red sky eps... I know everyone thinks the earlier are better but i probably dont. Becaus i like darker tmnt more than the goofy ones.

the red sky eps were just preety bad, no other way to put it, it was a last minute attempt to reboot the cartoon. The new theme was below my expectation sorry to say, the original theme can not be beaten!! I know it by heart!!

Yeah, what's with the song saying "TURTLES....FIGHT BACK!" instead of "...these turtle boys don't cut him no slack!"? I know it was a completely different melody, but I still don't like the idea.

BTW: karpo, you might the answer to this; who on IRC has either MPG or AVI formats of all three intros?

Speaking of intros, I swear I found a video of the new cartoon's title sequence on Kazaa, but when I previewed it, I only got audio (and it was in .mov format too!) Does anybody have the video to that as well? I already have the TV ad teaser for it...

thats possible, they show some small rough animation test stuff by then, I'd be happy with that!

Speaking of the Red Sky eps theme, I don't understand why there wasn't a third theme involving Dregg once Shredder was out of the picture for good.

prowler4

10-06-2002, 11:24 AM

Good question Reznorite420. They may as well have put dregg in after Shredder and Krang kinda faded away.

Nturtle

10-06-2002, 03:13 PM

hell they probebly stopped caring by then, by that time I was already forgeting about the turtles

Well the plot is the same. :D

10-06-2002, 04:18 PM

yup, incredibly smart guy (Krang, Shread-head aka brain) whos plans always get messed up by his goofing assistant (Bebop, rocksteady aka Pinky) :P

hmmm... come to think of it I belive I heard of some of the Tmnt people who worked on the cartoon eventually ent on to help make Pinky and the brain!!! A connection? A conspirecy!!!?The voice of Raph is also the voice of Pinky...also the voice of Wacko...hell, I think he did a lot of voices for the Animaniacs cartoon.

Brain: "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Pinky: "Uh, I think so Brain, but me and Pippi Longstocking--what would the children look like?"

Wakko: "Maybe you should see a P-sy-chiatrist."

10-07-2002, 12:29 PM

I think that the creators got bored of doing same "take over the world" plot on every ep..(pinky and the brain anyone?) The change was just probably too much for the people that had watched it for 7 years. Personaly I havent watched any of them yet, But i think im going to like them. Im still going in the fifth season watching like 2 eps per day...

I think you'll like the seventh and eighth seasons the best (not counting the Europe episodes as part of the seventh season). The eighth season is the first "red sky" season, before Carter shows up.

Karpo_007

10-07-2002, 01:45 PM

Yeah i think so too. But i dont wanna ski anything so it takes few weeks to get there...

Yeah i think so too. But i dont wanna ski anything so it takes few weeks to get there...

P.S. David Wise wrote 11/14 of the seventh season episodes and 8/8 of the eighth season episodes. (He also wrote 8/8 of the ninth season episodes, which for most folks are their least favorite episodes. But you might like them.)

And, of course, he (co)-wrote the entire first season, which as we all know is perfection.

Karpo_007

10-08-2002, 06:52 AM

I didnt know he co-wrote the first season! No wonder I like his eps The best!

hmmm... you learn something new everyday!

Karpo_007

10-08-2002, 07:05 AM

Yeah! I have always liked his eps the best. And It's clear now why i did!

10-08-2002, 07:11 AM

well... i guess this means writing 'ol Davey boy another "you did good" letter. *grabs a pen and paper* I'm startin' now!

10-08-2002, 11:34 AM

Hmm... Myabe i should too! But it dont know his email...

Nturtle

10-08-2002, 04:00 PM

too bad he won't be working on the new show... he is probebly the best TMNT episode writter

Karpo_007

10-08-2002, 04:02 PM

Yeah but i think he wouldn be suitable for the new show. Its not going to have other dimensions... Well space travelling probably... Who knows maybe he could pull it off...

Nturtle

10-08-2002, 04:04 PM

yeah, it is going to be very diffrent, but it would be cool to have him in there some of his Dimension X ideas were very funny!!

Karpo_007

10-08-2002, 04:06 PM

Im not sure if any of his eps had Mad scientists.. IF, then only rarely...

Nturtle

10-08-2002, 04:14 PM

yeah there were WAY too many mad scientists after awhile... also some of the aliens wern't too great like the one in "Invasion of the turtle snatchers" :dead:

Karpo_007

10-08-2002, 05:21 PM

Yeah... I never really liked the mad scientist thing...

Funny you bring this up.
I just picked up a TV Tuner/PVR card for my PC.
I plan on recording the new eps next year and encoding them into divx files. I also plan to share them. :tgrin:

I've heard that it's better to record to VHS first, then rip the .avi or .mpeg files from the VHS source instead of ripping directly from the TV signal. I could be wrong though.

Karpo_007

10-09-2002, 01:22 PM

Im not sure wich is better tv or vhs, but Divx of course and not mpg... Mpg are huge...

DarthRaphael

10-09-2002, 05:31 PM

Well, I will be encoding digitally right from a cable TV source. Recording it to tape will diminish the quality IMO. Also, it would be a real pain for me to setup a VCR to rip shows from. With the type of card I have, my PC will act like a TiVo unit.

I was thinking that mIRC would be the best place to share the eps. I might have to set something up with one or more of you guys where I upload the episode to your PC so there is more than one source for download.

Well, the .mpegs could be for personal use (if you have a big enough hard drive) and the DivX for sharing. (That is, if you really needed the higher quality .mpegs.)

Karpo_007

10-10-2002, 04:06 AM

If someone needs the MPG he can convert it from divx. And TMNT-files on DALnet is the best place to share them.

personally, i liked the 'red sky' and 'new mutation' seasons the best.

i also liked the season in which they went to that combat amusement park and feudal japan.

but thats just me.
