New preview on official site!
 
Yep, just like the title reads, there's an overview of the new cartoon on the official TMNT website. It has new info on locations, good guys, bad guys, etc. GO LOOK AT IT NOW!

where are you looking ?

This makes me wait the show even more. So Hun is the leader of Shredder elite and Saki will indeed be a "Legitimate business man".

And another good quote:

OOOOOOOHHHHH YEEEEAAAAH!

:D :D It's exactly what I hoped it would be. No "ass-clown Shredder", no Krang, no moronic Bebop & Rockstedy and ESPECIALLY no CHANNEL 6 CREW(Irma, Vernon and Burne!!!) This show's going to RULE! :D :D

Eye of Sarnath 11-22-2002 03:12 PM

Now you can understand why we're excited. Really, the only new stuff is a few interseting tidbits. Best news: the Utroms will make an appearance!

Machias Banshee 11-22-2002 03:13 PM

Darn, you beat me to it! :P :D

Heh, I cant wait to see it...*squeals excitedly, doing The "Mikey's not a moron" Dance*


April and Donnie get close? This should be something fresh for everyone to look forward to...:) I like some sciences, but nowhere nears as much as them, i imagine...

Now we just gotta find out the voices, and hope they sound good... *crosses fingers* :D :D :D

Karpo_007 11-22-2002 03:14 PM

Yes. So There will probably be Fugitoid too. This is starting to get really good. Well actually there wasnt too much new info, exept The Hun part, but atleast now it's official.

Raphael-sama 11-22-2002 03:23 PM

MUST Laird bash the original cartoon everytime he brings the new one up? It gets mildy irritating.

-Badabing.

Skeletoncrew 11-22-2002 03:32 PM

Yay! April isn't a reporter!!! Her outfit makes more sense now. Computer geeks can dress as casually as they like. I am SO looking forward to this show!!!! :D

Karpo_007 11-22-2002 03:40 PM

He Co-created the TMNT. He has every right to express his dissapointment about the old show. He didnt like the way the show turned after the first seasons and I can fully understand that. This time he is one of the guys who calls the shots, and makes sure that This show wont turn up like the old show did.

In my comments, one could get the impression that i don't like the old show. The thing is, The First season was good. It had great fight scenes and good plot that continued fro episode to episode. After that, the series went down fall. By the 4:th season, only one ep out of 10 wasn't boring. I know what im talking about, I have watched over 150 episodes in last few months. Im going at the euro season now, It's the worst one yet. After that, will come the Redsky episodes, and I have heard that in them, the action is brought back and it's darker. I await that day I finnish the euro season...

Every cartoon has weak spots. Especially one that runs from more then one season. I suspect this turtles cartoon won't last near as long as the original, and may not have to have the dry spells.

I watched all the cartoons when they ran. every week. So I too know about them, and I gotta admit some episodes suck, but they are not all over the place. Laird bashes Rocksteady and Bebop and Krang too much, when they are truly great aspects of that show. Not to mention marketable. Alot more marketable, then say "HUN" who is just some goofy looking thug.

And lets not forget Fugitoid, who I personally like, but has never drawn a dime to the TMNT franchise, and Laird keeps pushing him hoping he'll be a success someday.

But i'm not being negative, but everyone who bashes the old cartoon, doesn't realize that the old cartoon is the biggest body for TMNT fanbase. at least 80% of the fans of TMNT came from that show, and its figures.

Laird might should remember that, as Kevin Eastman did.

Karpo_007 11-22-2002 04:29 PM

Yeah it's true its the most popukar for of TMNT but not the best. And it is possible to make good show to last many seasons. Take the simpsons for example. The biggest mistake of the old show was the lack of action. That wont be a problem this time, and because the plot is pretty much taken from the Mirage comics, It wont become boring.

Sparvid 11-22-2002 04:42 PM

Evolving characters, subplots, no "Surf's up, dude", narrations by Splinter, vigilante Casey, eeeeeevil Shredder, maaaad Baxter, April's antique shop, Casey's house on the country, and Utroms!!!

Ceeeeelebrate good time, come on... :D

Newton Gimmick 11-22-2002 04:47 PM

Well at least we hope it won't become boring. Hard to say that, when no episodes have come along yet. Besides, lots of cool stuff dies everyday. Laird should make sure he targets his fanbase. Comparing the Simpsons to TMNT is just silly. The most important part to mention is, how much action will Standards and Practices allow? Not Alot. Which is what they face in the old show. I hope the new TMNT can pull it off, but Saturday Morning Cartoons, have little if no fighting, and not alot of dark storylines, It'll be interesting to see if the new show will break all boundaries for Saturday morning cartoons, or just be a watered down TMNT show.

Newton Gimmick 11-22-2002 04:58 PM

Oh by the way, I thought I should point out, that when I read the overview, I liked it very much and hope the show sticks to its guns on those aspects.

Interesting notes: It says April doesn't start out as a reporter. But if she isn't ever a reporter wouldn't they say, April isn't a reporter in the new toon. So perhaps, she will become one?

We'll learn about other people in the apartment building. Perhaps subplot human characters like, Vernon and Irma...OR, perhaps one of them will turn into a Villan. Could be fun, or could be needless comic relief.

I'm not Impressed with Hun, but maybe over time I will be. I'd rather have had a badass Tatsu, but thats just me. And where is the mention of this Dreek? Character we learned about not long ago. I thought he was gonna be Shredder's right hand man?

Interesting. I'm getting excited each day.

Karpo_007 11-22-2002 05:03 PM

We have to hope and see what comes. I have been worried too, that it will be too much kiddiefied. But all the intrviews have stated that thaye will use weapons against living targets, that was my worst fear. Of course there is no blood, but if they still fight real, It will be ok.

Eye of Sarnath 11-22-2002 05:10 PM

They're gonna have to actually be trying to screw this up for it to bad. And, that won't happen. It looks to me as if our beloved TMNT are in safe hands.

And really, what more can you ask for?

Karpo_007 11-22-2002 05:21 PM

Well it's hard to say, On paper it can sound good, but we need to see something to be sure.

Raphael-sama 11-22-2002 05:53 PM

*thwaps Karpo in the back of the head* Next time you say the "K" word you're losing your eyeballs.

I forgot to say that I like the concept and I'm looking forward to the new show. Looks to be interesting.

But really, can we pay the original show just a bit more respect? It's arguably the thing that made the TMNT something more then an underground smash. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Laird is jealous that the cartoon was twicefold as popular then the Mirage comic ever was. *shrug*
