So why did Korea get the jump on airing the episodes first? (Potential Spoilers)
 

Anyone know the story behind this?

Not sure. Part of me wonders is Standards & Practices made them change things late in the game due to...well...things. Might see if Brandon Auman will answer questions on FB.

This just proves that Coola is a troll.

I'm not completely sure of that. I know the question has been on my mind since the 'leaks'.

It does make me wonder if Nickelodeon in each country can act independently or if they have to follow "instructions/rules" from USA based Nick. (They have the headquarters in the United States?) Because otherwise Nick USA could have said to wait airing those episodes before they aired in the United States. But I have no idea how these kind of things work.


IMO I think they'll only generate more hype because everyone who saw these episodes in Korean would definitely want to see them again in English. And others who avoid watching them will likely hear some good things about them. But the reasoning why they aired them in the first place is interesting.

@Jester It's a fair question, but one that no one here has any idea how to accurately answer. Even the creative team is probably in the dark on this.

The fact that he made this thread mere minutes after you locked the thread in the QCS section tells me he just wants to further antagonize those of us who are waiting.

Were they leaked?
Or were they legit aired on Nick!Korea?

And aren't they also animated in Korea?

Half my prediction has come true. I'm batting 500 so far.

India, actually.

Pretty sure it legit aired there. And you're probably right about it being animated there...most shows are. Almost makes me wonder what the typical release window is for Nick's show in South Korea...ad in how long after they air stateside do they typically air there.

No, it's a legit question that noone answered in the locked thread because it was locked before anyone could. I just find it weird since it never happened before with any of the other seasons.

And yes, as far as I know they were aired on regular Korean tv, which makes me wonder now if this has happened before with all the long breaks on the previous seasons.

Also Canada and New Zealand.

So I guess not even Nick itself (or at least the American branch) knows? That's....weird.

How, if the people who want to wait for new episodes don't want the risk of getting spoiled then why did click on a thread whos topic is "the korean episodes".

Considering what the network censors have already allowed on this show, I'd be very surprised if that were the case.

They can't. It's still an American cartoon made for American audiences. They wouldn't purposely do something they know wouldn't make it to the final cut.

My brain goes back to Insane in the Membrane from 4Kids TMNT. It cleared S&P but then things changed and it was deemed to much. It aired in Oz before here, if I remember right.

"Insane in the Membrane" aired on Cartoon Network later on, if I remember correctly. It was also on the Season 4 DVD that came out, so it was legally released in the U.S.

It is on the DVD set, but whenever did it air on the Cartoon Network? I know it aired on Nicktoons though.

2k3 used to be on Miguzi
