Space Heroes
 

So now that the show is out, i might as well mention the space hero's show. How do you like Leo's love for the show, any fears or hopes that came out of the last episode when you saw him watching the show? What can be done better, and most of all, how do you like the idea?

Me I personally love it. But how about you?

I wanna see more Space Heroes!! I hope there's an ep where Leo meets the crew or cast of the show.

I love the idea. Of course, I do love Star Trek...

But I like the idea. Leo became a leader with no pretense. He's starting from nothing, and he has this TV character (Let's just call him Captain Kirk, eh?) to look up to. And Leo imitating the character was pretty funny.

I think it adds a little something to Leo, a character kids might consider plain without a gimmick.

As a Trekkie (not sure why Trekker is preferred...but whatevs.) I love it. Especially since the animation style is a nod to the Filmation Star Trek Animated Series. The only issue I have is it kills the chances of the so cliched "Leo meets the actor who plays Captain Ryan and is completely disappointed." Then again...it could be a chance to poke fun at voice acting:
Leo: "Captain Ryan is a 200 lb, balding man of 80?"
Don: "Gee, that be like some 50 year old has-been voicing someone like me..."
(Ok...so it's not the best joke ever, but...)

I was pretty amused by it;)and the likeness to the filmation cartoon found a grin on my face right away, too even though I personally never entered star trek so far;)..I loved it too, because peter and kevin might get a smile out of this sicne they are big star trek fans and that was what brought this grin above my chin when I saw it...
I think fiction wise it is a pretty funny idea and as another fellow here above stated it gives us a new entry to a side of leonardo that wasn't explored too often it at all in the past..so yeah, similar to the themes in the star trek universe this idea seems to scream:off to new untouched galaxies;)

I couldn't help but think of William Shatner, it would have been awesome to have him do the Voiceover..

I would absolutely love a gag like that, I love self referential humor like that.

Actually, slightly off topic, but I was just thinking earlier today for some reason, about if there was eventually an episode where somehow the Turtles end up switching bodies. It'd be a fun little gag if Donnie ended up in Raph's body, so that Paulsen would - in a way anyway, for a short while - be voicing Raphael again.

Now when you say "body swap" are we talking "the characters voices transfer, too" body swapping or Raph has Don's body in the swap.

I personally like it because i reminds me of my self and star wars.

I do wish Space Heroes would have lazer swords though!

I'm thinking of it like their voices would swap too, yeah. So Paulsen doing Donnie's voice and attitude would be coming out of Raph's body, and Raph's voice and attitude would be coming out of Donnie's.

...Which I guess would put Mikey and Leo in the same situation, or they'd be the ones that didn't get swapped. Or something.

I hate Star Trek & stuff so I dislike the fact that my favorite character adores something I really don't care for. I don't think it's very in character of him to be obsessed with a science fiction program. I'd think he'd be more into the Book Of Five Rings, or at the very least old Kung Fu movies. Oh well.

I think it's funny. When we first saw Leo saying things like "Prepare to dish out the mighty wrath of justice!" in promos, I didn't really get it or find it particularly funny. But now we know that he's lifting those quotes directly from his favourite TV show and applying them (sometimes incorrectly) to real life situations, it makes sense.

Totally agree. I don't think Leo should be that obsessed with any sort of TV show. There's nothing wrong in him liking it, but I thought it was a bit ridiculous when he was repeating the speech on the roof before attacking Snake.

Other than that, I liked the animation style in "Space Heroes", and I'd like it to remain in the show, just not like that.

I'm liking it. I like that one part where the captain slapped that one guy who was overreacting.:tlol:

The "space Heroes" show reminded me of the Filmations Star Trek series as well.Very intereting idea though I hope they don't gopt overboard on it.

If the situation required the turtles to hide the fact they body swapped, Mikey could be the leader!

I love that part as well it was hilarious!:tlol:

I love the way they animated it to look like the old Star Trek cartoon! They did a fantastic job!

HA. Now that could prove hilarious.:lol: Hmm...this makes me imagine us having to hand-wave their poor attempts to sound like each other while around Splinter though. Or, then again, it'd probably turn out that Splinter knew and just didn't let on. He could even point out how obvious it was with the voices.

I loved the payoff of it later with Leo emulating it.:D

'...Did you just slap me?'
'I was calming you down.'
'WHY WOULD THAT CALM ME DOWN?!'

Any particular reason...:P

I never thought of that as another case of Leo emulating Captain Ryan...good eye.

I kinda like the idea of Leonardo being a sci-fi geek here. In the 4Kids series Mikey was the comic book geek of the group, so it's sort of a refreshing change of pace from what we'd normally see. I'd also love to see an episode where Leo gets to meet the actor who portrays his idol Captain Ryan!
