April and the Turtles...
 

I'm wondering if April will be meeting the guys for the first time again but this time like it happened in the comics or do they already know each other and maybe just have a flashback sequence? Has Mirage answered this question about the new cartoon? I can't remember if they have or not.

You know, a flashback sequence would be rather interesting. They could have April writing it in her journal and she narrates the events as we see them happen.

It will probably be like in the comics. The TMNT saves her from mousers.

ergh... i hate mousers!

It might not happen the exact same way it happened in the comics, otherwise it wouldn't be as fun for the long-time fans to expect a new twist on the series.

First episode has mousers, Baxter is in it, and April is his assintent. What are the odds?

true, true....he has a good point :wink:

Laird actually said that April will start off as the "classic damsel in distress". So I'm guessing Mouser trouble.

Well That's what I have been thinking all the time. I doubt they will change that.

i wana see the turtles bash the mousers too

i just want to see the ninja turtles... PERIOD!

Well there was nothing Ninja about them in the old cartoon, Maybe we will see some this time.

Actually, I think they kinda switched over to karate or Martial Arts in the old toon. It was more of a low-key version of ninjitsu, as is my understanding.

Well there weren really any martial arts after the first season. The fights went slapstick. Well in 1993 season they are getting them back, but I heard that they get very good in red sky. 3 eps to go before i get there...

who knows the ending of Mirage comics story
 

By the way, i have never read how the story about TMNT ends in Mirage comics. What happens to Shredder and turtles?

In short, Shredder came back in Leonardo one shot, Beat Leo half to dead, and in issue #10 attacked april's appartment. The TMNT retreated to Casey Jone's farm house, where they lived a year. Then Raphael Decided it was time to go back, And went to New York, after few days the others followed. They attacked the foot Headquarters, fought with Shredder Clones, and The Leo had a duel with the Most original Like clone and won. The Return to New York ends with Shredder's Funeral in Viking style.

City at War is the continuation of the Foot story, dealing what happened to the Foot soldiers, and Shredder Elite, and so on...
And the Mirage stories are not over yet :)

Yeah. And hopefully will continue for many years.

hmmm
 

Damn straight.

They NEVER used ninjutsu (<< correct spelling) in the old cartoon. It was always some form of generic karate. Ninjutsu was actually used in the Mirage books (at least the ones by Laird and Eastman). I could tell from some of the movements the Turtles did that the Big Two had done a little research.....

Damn straight.

shredder's funeral
 

:( :goofygri: It sounds awful. How do you think how they will finish the show? Will they risk to kill Saki?
