Who the hell wanted Mondo Gecko back?
 

Ok so I'm not really one of the people who are mad that they're using too many elements from the Fred Wolf cartoon because there are some neat ideas like Mutagen Man and Metalhead that really never lived up to their potential. But why on earth bring back Mondo Gecko? He's an outdated 90's stereotype, a waste of imagination, he looks like, like...


Yeah, like that and "that" was meant to satirise shallow ideas.

I'm glad they're bringing him back. Just like the other characters, he can be updated to fit this turtleverse. Besides, it would be nice for Mikey to have a friend. Donnie has April, Raph has Casey, Leo has...training... um yeah...

Edit: If Karai hadn't have been mutated, I'd say Karai for Leo, but as she is now, probably not, so if he does get introduced into the series, Usagi Yojimbo.

Me. Once I heard Robbie Rist was voicing him.

And this! Mikey hanging with Mikey. :lol:

And didn't Metalhead never have a personality in the OT? Wasn't Mutagen Man pretty annoying (voice-wise)?
It's the changes that make it worthwhile. I'm interested to see what changes we get with Mondo Gecko.

But why Mondo Gecko though? Mikey has already established a connection with Leatherhead so just make a bigger part of the show, there are already 15 or so characters that don't seem to serve much purpose and now they're going to introduce Mondo Gecko, a Punk Frog, some Care Bears parodies and two Swamp Thing homages?

Me. I WANTED MONDO BACK. Hows that for you? He was a fun character and I love the adventures comics. So.... yep I am psyched.

I only remember him from the back of a toy box that I glanced. But just based on that, I reckon he's a pretty cool character - the name just have a nice ring to it and I still remember it today. And he's kinda like a surfer dude like Mikey I guess so that's a plus.

Bring it on.

I love Mondo Gecko. He's to Mikey, what Miyamoto was to Leo and Casey Jones to Raph! They need those kinds of characters.

Yeah, in the OT he was like a surfer like dude, skateboarder, etc., so he got along with Mikey quite well. It sucked that he wasn't in many episodes. The only thing about OT Mondo Gecko that I dislike is the convoluted Venus-style origin story. Archie's version was a bit better origin wise.Well, Leatherhead doesn't strike me as the type who'd be into comic books or skateboarding or other leisurely things that Mikey likes. It's great that he and Leatherhead are friends, but I couldn't see him playing the "best bud" role as far as hobbies and interests go.

I'm glad that they brought Mondo Gecko back. Mikey needs a BFF sort of like, how Raph and Casey been BFFs for all these years in the comics.

Being the youngest member of the 4, Mikey needs someone he can relate to, and Mondo Gecko is the perfect character for that. They been buddies in the Archies series comics and Fred Wolf series, Until they killed him off and the rest of the Mutanimals near the end of the comics.

Mikey needed somebody to lean on.

You worded this better. I do feel that Mikey needs a good friend outside of his brothers, and I feel that Leo does too. If she hadn't have been mutated, maybe Karai could've filled that role, and I was kind of hoping for it.

^ This. :D

How about you actually wait till we see the actual character in action before bashing him, neatoman?

It's almost as if none of you read the Archie comics. Mondo Gecko had a bigger role in the comics than the original show where he was only in 2 episodes.

It's been mentioned. I even mentioned it. He was part of the Mutanimals.

What i'll say this this...

I LOVE his new design. So for that reason alone, i'm glad he's back.

But beyond that, we already know that just because a character returns in the Nick series doesn't mean they will be very similar to their previous versions. Just look at so many characters we've already been re-introduced to.

So even if you did not like previous Mondo Gecko, you might like the new version.

I would have liked if Mikey had a different friend.....a human one.

but, I'll give Mondo Gecko a try. (but if he starts talking like a 90's skater boy I'm out XD)

If he started talking like that, I'll lmao over how silly it is. lol

I'm down with Gecko. He's got some pretty big legs in the Turtlesverse, mostly with his role in Adventures. He's not a ridiculous character to bring back.
