TMNT25 e-mail
 

Did anyone else get an e-mail from TMNT25.com today?

I did, and I was quite disturbed by it.

I did. Scrolled through it, deleted it. Very amateurish, boring, childish (N"ooze"? Come ON!), and f***ing long.

I got it. Annoying.

Yeah, "fail" is the word here... :roll:

EDIT: All that said, I did have fun scrolling down... thinking the whole time "what could possibly be at the bottom?" And then I got all confused and disappointed by the video link. Surreal.... and not in a good way.

I just laughed about how stupid it is.

But it's sad considering Mirage could have used that $1 million for something actually good. That's what bothers me more, the fact that the money put aside for this is being wasted.

Got mine. They should have just given me a million dollars to make lame YouTube rants....:P

Edit: Heck, I plan on completing the TMNT movies in May with MCubed video reviews of Secret of the Ooze, TMNT III, and TMNT '07.

Wow the turtles just symbolically jerked off the Empire State Building, my life is complete.

POW

Quote of the year, and it's only March. Give this man a hand.

Aside from that image encapsulating pretty much everything that's wrong and toxic with the general public's view of TMNT I didn't see too much off there.

I got it and it freaked my email out. Then it freaked me out a bit Yikes!

They could have put a lot more effort into that image instead of them having their arms crossed or in a standing position. No one can possibly stand still while falling with a smile on their face. The "Turtle Van" looks like a taxi to me but, couldn't they make the tires a different color than the road? :roll:

I'm all about TPTB putting some effort -- any effort, even if lame -- into somehow promoting the 25th anniversary of TMNT. But what amounts to apparently hiring a bunch of hacks to go around promoting and spreading word about the TMNT in the form of the worst possible, imaginable aspect of the TMNT as a franchise, and even then making a caricature of that... yeah, this is pretty much the very last thing TMNT needs right now.

by the gods that was awful

I love how people like myself who would be happy to do promotion for tmnt for free get a big fat no! from mirage but these hacks get a **** load of money and produce rubbish.

I cannot believe Mirage seriously paid this company $1 million just to f*** its fans over. I haven't seen money wasted this bad since Sony developed and released the PS3.

Either way, I remember getting this email, reading all the way to the bottom, and deleting it immediately. I didn't even bother to click that button at the bottom with the video. Holy s***, it would've just contributed even more to my extreme disappointment in this 25th Anniversary campaign.

Geez, Ike and Tina Turner probably had better anniversaries than the Turtles at this point. I've never been more saddened to be a TMNT fan.

I also got the e-mail, and scrolled all the way down. I deleted it after that (I didn't even know there was a video). I really don't like the images of the turtles they used, yech :(.

I didn't get it, only because every time I try to sign up on the site it never works. Guess i'm not missing much though :ohwell:

Yeah, I got it yesterday too. I agree, it was fairly lame. WOOHA!!! FSSSSH!!! "WHAT'S IN THE N"OOZE" DUDES! Did Mirage really pay $1 million dollars for....this?!? Haha, and I also agree the turtle van overall is pathetic.

Am I the only one that didn't link the last picture with phallic imagery?

Got it. Was not very surprised. I had hated the TMNT25 website when it was gone public too. Most ppl love it very much and i fully respect that, but i really hate the original cartoon and images or characters reminding me that style.
That mail was really like a joke. If you are a lover of original cartoon, seeing the crappy thing will make your heart ache even much more , i am sure.
I do not know what Mirage is trying to do. I mean , which medium of TMNT are they using to advertise on. They wanna use the TV turtles which are ofc much more popular. But tbh i do not know any children around me who will go crazy or even will feel anything at all over those images or video or that TMNT25 celebration acts we see nowadays.
I hope summer and afterwards will be better with the coming of comic collections.

Summary : I would not want any friend of mine who just knew about the cartoon side of TMNT and knew that i liked and collected Mirage Comics to see that mail.
I sometimes even feel sad that we are at anniversary 25 cause of such failed attempts. Will those help the Mirage survive and go on to publish the Mirage comics?... I hope they will survive but not with any help of such stuff.
