new show is amost like the movie
 

what i am saying that there are searhing for a new home is amost like TMNT2.

hmmm
 

read some mirage tmnt. they had to abandon their original home in issue 3 and started shacking up with april.

The new toon, just like the original trilogy, is based on the Mirage comic books, so there're obviously gonna be alot of similarities between all three versiosn of TMNT.

i never read the comic befor cause i wasn't bron until 1986 and i didn't know that the ninja turtles was based on a comic book

Hm... I'd have to say that only the first movie was based on the Mirage storyline.

I was born in 1986 too :tparty:

I see your point, but keep in mind that the second movie involved the TGRI company which was loosely based on TCRI from the comics. Both companies were responsible for the mutagen that created the turtles in their respective universes.

The same goes for the sceptre from the third movie which allowed people to travel through time. That too was based off a storyline in Mirage, but it was dumbed down for 8 year-olds. They even took out Renet because of her PG-13ish attire.

in the movie raphael got knock out but in the comic leo was the one that got knock out would one of them be knock out in the new series?

Alright enough of the 1986 crap :P you people are going to make me feel older then I actually am. I was just starting 7th grade back then!

I'm guessing Leo will be the one knock'up the noggin. But I have no intention of reading the episode summaries off of the Mirage website to see if that info is even there ;)

Who said anything about 1986?

Where are all the kids(who would be around my age) who were around for the first TMNT tidal wave(in the late 80's) ?

Yes, almost 25 going on 11^_^

/me Raises hand :tthumbsu:

Dude, I was born in 1977 and I was all over the TMNT the year the cartoon was put on TV.

I was born in 74 and loved the turtles. Granted I started with the early cartoons, moved on to the comic, was happy with the first movie, and then it ended for me, with the exception of the comics. Now, with the new toon and its style, I am getting what I always wanted. Or I hope, at least. But it's positive hope.

Heh, you sound like me! For me it was the cartoon, arcade game, mirage comics, first movie...then it was like see ya! I mean Ive never stopped being a fan, I picked up the Image crossover and spinoff TMNT titles...but now...now is the time to get back into the shell!

Anyways, good to see folks around my age...I was wondering where you guys were on here!^_^

Ooo... Prowl's a wee older than me. I was born March of 1975.

Yep.. a prime Turtley teenager when they hit the bigscreen in 1990! :D And I said this once, and I'll say it again, I had no idea about TMNT in 1986 cause I was very much into the Transformer comics then. With some Elfquest on the side. :goof:

That makes you the same age as my sister. Unfortunately, she never got into TMNT.

Gah, please don't tell me I'm the youngest guy on the boards! I feel small. Curse 1988 and everything to do with it! (wait, that's when the old show came out, nevermind...)

As for the show being like the movie: the show is like Mirage, which the movie is also based off of. I do see similarities in the Turtles voices though.

Welll the first movie was basicly a mix of Mirage comics and humour. The new show could become pretty close to that feeling.

Or a mix of Mirage and Old Cartoon, as I see it.

O/T: We REALLY need some abbreviations for the cartoons. "Old cartoon" and "New cartoon" is killing my fingers.

I like referring to the old one as the original toon, and I guess we can refer to the new one as FB TMNT.
