Kevin Eastman is going to give an AMA on Reddit today.
 

Announcement here

On the 14/8/14 at 3:00 PM est. Just letting you guys know. It's also going to be in the general AMA sub, not the TMNT sub.

Oooh. This'll be interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Ugh. Reddit. Can't wait to read 100 people asking him sh*t we've known since the 90's, as well as hostile & misinformed folks who still think the turtles are supposed to be aliens in the new movie.

Eastman is a brave soul.

Agreed - you will never find a more wretched online hive of scum and villainy! ;)

haha agreed...

i got to ask Kevin my question about the soft head turtles at Calgary expo... and he pretty much answered any other question i had at his panel...

Someone get a lock on this Fichtner/Shredder thing, please.

Someone tell him to stop hyping up things that are going to suck, like the new movie.

I've got an account and I'll ask questions on peoples' behalf if they want me to. Just let me know precisely what to ask, and don't flood me with **** you know someone else is gonna ask.

So does anyone know the actual thread we'll be posting questions to? I don't go on Reddit often, so I'm unsure of the page set ups work. I take it there will be a page set up eventually?

GO GO GO he's only got an hour!

Already asked my one question. :)

WTF. I thought it started at 3 CST. Whoops.

It started around 3PM EST.

Donatello is the oldest. IT IS NOW CANON.

He answered one of my AMA Questions. :D

Me
Kevin Eastman

As expected, nobody asked anything good. Just a buncha casuals.

My question was good, We find out how they came up with The Shredder. :)

IIRC, Peter Laird told that story on his blog somewhere already.

Indeed. That story's fairly common knowledge.

It's in the ultimate visual history fo sure. Sorry dude.

You are also a casual, then. :P

Common knowledge since long before then, though!

yeah
 

Cause your fountain of intellectual cutting edge questions were so great right? :trolleye:

I enjoyed th ama it's cool to get insight from people like Kevin. I hope he does another one soon.

Shoot. He didn't get to my question about the John Fusco TMNT movie script. Oh well. Maybe next time.

I get the impression he wouldn't have answered that anyway. Kevin Eastman doesn't seem to be as elaborate in his answers as Peter Laird was.

Also he spelled things wrong too.

Yes, ever since it was mentioned in the Behind the Shells video 23 YEARS AGO.

So is Eastman drunk here or what? He seems to think that he / Playmates invented Usagi and he can't even spell it.

That's not canon. He's giving me the impression that he wasn't sure himself. Didn't he also say Karai was Shredder's daughter in the Mirage comic books when that would have been physically impossible considering her age?

I saw he spelled Krang "Crang" so I'm assuming he had someone typing for him. A lot of people who do AMA's have someone type.

Nah, that was definitely him. He even admits himself he's got terrible spelling issues, & the scripts I've seen prove that. :trazz:

For sure, just giving an example.

already an example from John.

And it was a big article including the making of Shredder on the old official ninja turtles website.

Well....I was giving another one.

woops, sorry. I totally read your post as demanding an example.

No problem :P

I don't think everyone needs to gang up on the guy, but yeah ...

It's really a good idea/general courtesy to do a little research before these things to make sure you don't end up asking something that's already on record.

To be honest, I went in there knowing he wouldn't answer anything all that interesting anyway. I liked the sillier questions more just because of that. Peter Laird is the one that'll answer the more interesting questions, he appears to be more opinionated.

Did anyone ask him who his favorite Turtle is? I always thought it was eluded but never actually confirmed by Eastman himself that it was Raphael.
