When you really think about it...
 

It's amazing how four teenage mutant ninja turtles became soooo popular. And it's also pretty cool how it's turtles, of all animals, turtles. I mean, they coulda picked something like a fox, or something more nimble. I guess that's what makes them so special, the fact that turtles, who seem to move rather slow, would become martial arts masters.

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/origin/kevtmnt.gif Thats where it all began. TMMNT has been the most succesfull indie comic and a very succesfull children's franchice in the early 90's. What makes them so popular? Who knows. Like Eastman said in one interview "It must be the name".

Probly, I just reckon they are really cool, and because they all have a different pesonality you can sorta relate to them!

I can't really say why I like the TMNT, it was my faotite cartoon when I was a kid, and thats whateventually brought me to Mirage. I guess on of the things is the aulity writing that unites bot Mirage and New cartoon. And of course the deep characters.

Well, first off, we've got the title. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" It really does roll off the tongue, and I don't think anyone reading it for the first time can say it without smiling. It's so obscure, it's one of those things you just have to check out.

Then, it hooks you with something for just about everyone. The diversity of elements is what's made and kept it popular. At least that's what I believe. That, and a lot of luck.

:lol: Yeah, it's funny that they picked turtles, instead of foxes, or horses, or... :P

Dunno what really it was that got me hooked now. I think it was the matial arts element at first. I used to be really wowed by the Karate Kid before that. The cartoon didn't do anything for me, but since my bro liked it so much, I watched it. After I saw the first movie... wow! :o The profound nature of the characters, the family ties, and the how "them (humans) versus us (freaks)" phsycology that awed me. ANd the martial arts,. Yeah.. nothing beats cool martial art philosophy. :D

The Ninja element is what got me hooked as well. I wouldn't have gottin into them if they weren't Ninja.

Yeah if it was hero Turtles are something it would be real stupid. :roll:

Actually, in Europe... they do go under the title 'Teenage Mutat Hero Turtles'

Plus TMNT is way more catchy than Teenage Mutant Ninja Foxes, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Cougars, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Tigers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Bears, Teenage Mutant Ninja Eagles, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Dolphins LOL.

Turtles I guess use thier shells as armor

good thing it's not Teenage Mutant Ninja Chihuahuas, cause if it was, i'd kill myself...

:lol: Someone with Photoshop skills REALLY needs to do that... like the taco bell dog with a ninja mask and a katana.

why use photoshop when you can draw? :P
if i'll have some free time (yeah right...) i'll draw something nice...
tough i prefer to draw dead chihuahuas :evil: :evilgrin:
