Which Splinter is better?
 

Hello all you TNMT fans. I'm a new member and I was woundering about one thing. Which Splinter seems better:

~ The one when He was once human and became a rat by the ooze

~ Or the one that was once a pet rat and became a larger one from the ooze.

For me I like the one that was once a pet rat. And I have no clue why the original cartoon had the other option.

What do you think?

Um, sorry to burst your bubble, but this should be in another forum, maybe general tmnt, but you are new, this is a common thing. Anyway, I like the one when he turns from human to rat.

Sorry, I didn't know. And I am just a new guy here.

Heh, already done.. :D

I think the cartoon made Splinter be a man who becomes like a man so they wouldn't have to address Hamato Yoshi's death. Death in cartoons=big no-no.

I prefer Master Splinter from the old cartoons (from human [as Hamato Yoshi] to rat).

:-? OK I guess some like the old cartoon Splinter a bit better. Of course I don't know why two different origins are 25% different. I E-Mailed Shredder once and he had no clue ether. The point is at least all the TMNT Series will always be 4 mutated turtles to ninja turtles and not 4 humans mutated to turtles.

i like splinter being a pet rat, if he's human it makes the mutagen to versitlie, i never understood why just contact with an animal would affect the mutation

:D Finally! Someone likes the pet rat plot better than the human.
Thank You & Thank You

I don't know, it just seems more fun to have a human turn into a rat rather than a rat growing, it gives kids hope that they too can turn into rats... :lol:

The origin was changed because it would have been too heavy for the children. I say Original Splinter of course. It is also more realistic that one being could evolve than a human turnig into a diffrent specie.

Thats my favourit:

~ Or the one that was once a pet rat and became a larger one from the ooze.

But the other version is quite good too.

Yes,
but i think Bebob and Rockstady where although human beings bevor mutating to a Pic/Rhino -> and that story wasn`t changed, if i'm right :)

I liked the idea of Hamato Yoshi turning into Splinter since Oroku Saki became Shredder. It was cooler that way because they would call each other by their proper names and it would sound so cool.

SHREDDER: "Prepare to die, Yoshi!"
SPLINTER: "I think not, Saki!"

[quote="Karpo_007"]The origin was changed because it would have been too heavy for the children.

Was that why. So the company decided to change for less heavy matiral.
The one in the movie didn't look too heavy. And why bother walking around and say "Well the rat need to be human at first" said one of the writers.

:roll: Too Heavy

hmmm
 

actually, child, even the movie version was a candy-coated remake of the mirage story.

When they made the cartoon, there was now way they could have shown death in it. That is why they chaged it. But in the new show it seems we will have the real origin.

As for the movie, It was pretty much the original Story, without Nagi.

I'm all for Splinter being a rat originally. Rats make such great pets!

:lol: I dont care How he came to be, just as long as he's around... :D


I like both origins....I kinda had my own theory, too. that both Yoshi AND the pet Rat kinda got "fused" together, from the mutagen, so that the two became one. (dont ask how, its just an idea.. :P )

Origin I like the old toon

Personality wise, I really like how the new toon Splinter is coming along, a nice blend os wisdom and comidy

I like the pet rat-giant rat origin story.
