The turtles' belts.
 

One thing I've noticed Eastman and Laird have ditched in the new series are those belts, the ones bearing the letters of their first names. How does this effect you?

Well, the letters helped me out alot when i was a kid...but nowadays...i like the no letter look...

originaly the turtles never had the letters on their belts... so it isn't that big of a deal. 'sides, theres the diffrent skin colors in the new toon, and the masks, to tell them apart.

Like the new belts, without the letters.

I like the belts without the letters. They look far cooler that way to me. :)

I don't quite understand why they added the letters. You had the mask colors to tell them apart (and, of course, the voices)

:lol:

Seeing as how I'm partial to the old cartoon, I always loved the fact that the Turtles had individualized belts. I especially appreciated it in all the old Ninja Turtles coloring books.

I'll never forget the time Donatello used his personalized belt buckle to free himself and the other Turtles from prison in "Cyber-Turtles." Now that was a stroke of pure genius.

No suprise really, I too prefer the original non lettered belts.

It did help me to determine who is who.....either style works for me

I'm glad they drop the letters.

I prefer the original, no-initial look. It gives the characters less of a "Power Ranger" feel.

Oh, god, I HATE THE POWER RANGERS!

It makes no difference to me. The letters were cool in the old show, and no letters in the new show is cool too.

I hadn't really noticed the difference on the belts until it was pointed out so I guess it doesn't make too much difference. As long as the weapons and bandanas remain the same I'll be happy.

Yet another technodrome member who moans about the Power Rangers. :roll:

as Savage Dragon said
'You guys need initials on you belts'

Yea, thats how i feel, I prefer initials on the old show but the new show is better off without them.

I still don't understand how Power Rangers are still alive? :-?

Off topic: well since crappy shows seem to be the requirement to air on television nowadays and Power Rangers: (starting from the Zeo Era) is crap, it's allowed to stay on the air. It's all logic.

Note: When I talk about crappy shows, I exclude the 2003 TMNT show (of course).

On topic: I like them better without the initials. It gives them that "Mirage comic" feeling.

LOL, I hope they do a gag like that in the new show at some point!
