Is this what you expected a Kevin Eastman cartoon to be like?
 
So this short (I'm posting here rather than the Nick section because it doesn't seem to be part of the Nick cartoon's continuity, only vaguely inspired by it at best) Is co-written by Kevin Eastman and from what I've seen he also supplied the character designs or at least gave some direction on what the characters should look like. Hell, it even seems his wife voiced April.

So here's question, is it at all what you expected a cartoon with heavy involvement from Eastman to be like? I honestly don't know myself but I'm leaning towards yes, since the guy writes stories involving stolen brass cows and Mikey's drunken hallucinations.

I thought it would be dark, gritty and a blood fest. Instead it was comedic. But the fighting scene, and the April/TMNT/Kraang designs were top notch.

Don vs. Raph was vastly superior.

Yes.

You really expected a nick short to be a "blood fest"?

No. I would assume Kevin Eastman's work to be a blood fest. If this wasn't on a kids channel, I assume it would be more like the comics.

Dunno. never really thought about what kinda cartoons would Kevin Eastman make.

I liked this short.

I think works closer to the comics are more Peter's thing. Not the blood fest part though.

True. I was going off the first issue, but that was idiotic because all of Mirage is like that.

I don't know about an Eastman cartoon, but that's just how I expected those cartoons to be anyway. It's pretty much a paint-by-numbers turtles at their very lowest denominator. And what's up with Mike yelling "interstellar" this time around?

(I am, however, going to polish up those Kraang suits...cool way to have two in one body)

Powder 07-24-2016 05:09 PM

All I know is I pretty much hated it.

This. One of the worst things I've ever sat through.

After that short, my guess would be terrible.

IndigoErth 07-24-2016 06:01 PM

Can't say I had any particular expectations.

As for that short... It's okay. Cute, but I always found the "human TMNT" stuff from fans to be rather boring in most cases as it is, and now... just no one try to claim it as canon, please.

Crotch Kraang was the best thing about this.

+1ing this

I voted not sure because he made this for Nick. If he could make his own series it might be totally different and more serious.

Anyway I enjoyed it. Kinda seems like an updated OT.

Gokhan 07-25-2016 06:36 PM

Why couldn't they have been one white one Asian one black an one other ethnicity? I was bothered they all saw themselves as typical white teen

I actually have read the Mikey and Leo one-shots, thank you very much. :tlol:
