The 25 Greatest Moments in TMNT History (article by me)
 

The 25 Greatest Moments in TMNT History

The guys at the Transformers Archive did a similar article involving their 25 favorite moments in Transformers history, so I thought I'd do my own version with the Ninja Turtles.

I tried to include a little something from every version: the various comics, the cartoons and the movies. The comics being my favorite aspect of the franchise garnered the most numbers, of course.

Its a heckuva a read, mind you, so it's no skimpy "list". Spent my entie day off from work on it, totaling about 8 hours and 17 Word pages.

Anyhow, I thought I'd share.

Great concept, man!

EDIT: Wow, you really put some work into this!

Some of your top 10 surprises me. But it looks like a very enjoyable read.

Very nice list. I feel in your descriptions you're a bit too critical and harsh about some aspects of the franchise, but I appreciate the, "I recognize these flaws in a franchise I love," rather than giving everything blind praise.

The most shocking thing the old toon did was definitely Shredder blowing up the Channel 6 building. After 7 seasons it was practically an icon of the show, and to see it destroyed and *not* have it magically re-appear in the next episode was something shocking. I think I was only 11 or something back when Season 8 was airing, and even then it was a shock to me.

This was a Fantastic read... I'd definitely recommend everyone to take a look. :)

Excellent, I really enjoyed reading that. Thanks

I am really impressed with this. Not one of these moments, would I shelf from the list. Sure, I might have put them in a bit of a different order, but they all belong here.

The only major thing I would have had differently, was placed Raph punching Hitler somewhere on the list.

Oh dammit, I knew I forgot something.

Damn you, good sir, for being an amusing and great writer. I :tlol:'d, :tcry:'d, shouted "WTF!" and threw my mouse across the room, but overall I enjoyed your piece.

Great job!
:tthumbsu::tthumbsu::tthumbsu::tthumbsu:

On a small side note: veneer, quirk, and wacky.

That is all. :tgrin:

Massive brownie points for including the Raph vs Leo fight from the 4th film. And when Klunk died I think i got really teary eyed. Or maybe I cried >.> Things that just kill me. Children dying and animals dying. Gets me every time.

Great job! :tthumbsu: That was really enjoyable to read :)

That was great! Lots of laughs, & lots of near tear moments with the sad memories that come with certain stories.

I'm running out the door to catch a bus, so I haven't given your article the full read through that it so very clearly deserves. BUT! I did want to post in with HUGE kudos for the section headings alone.

You Sir, are a freakin' riot.:thumbsup:

Normally I wouldn't spend 8 hours writing an article in one day, but the Shell-ebration ends tomorrow, so I was under a time crunch.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! :)

DrSpengler, THANK YOU so much. I might not completely agree with your selection, but it was beautiful to read. This franchise is so lucky to have people like you in the fandom.

Awesome nice cool work!!! Thanks a lot for share!!! I enjoy reading this work....Recommended!!

Very good article.

Hell, I might even print it out just so I can re-read it from time to time.

Yes, I enjoyed it that much. :)

I'm not usually one for Top X lists, but this one is really darn good. Can't say I disagree with anything on the list, at least when it comes to the moments I know of. Superlative job, Dr. Spengler.

Holy crap! That thing is long. xD

I'll have to save it to read later, but I'm sure it's gonna be awesome just lookin at the thing. Again - Holy. CRAP. Great work Doc.

Sweet article. I can't disagree with any selections because I can't imagine making a top 25 like that lol.... Except I was expecting at least one moment from the old Konami games. Then again, nothing you picked really deserves to be bumped by a boss fight or somthing from a beat-em-up.

And I just finished reading it, and I must say that you have single-handily made me want to read the comics (not just the Mirage ones either) even more than I already did. That, is a feat that I didn't think possible. I'd take my hat off to you but I don't wear hats.

I hope you do other articles, be they TMNT related or not, this dedicated in the future. They're sure to be great reads.
