Are the names really that horrible, or is just that the OT factor has nostalgia now built into it so everything's a little more rose-tinted?

Well you could just you know make up your own names and just ignore the names you hate. When you own the figures, no one is forcing you to stick to the names in the show, I mean people who hate dubbed names just say the original names of anything from animes when they don't like a name in the dub. Honestly names aren't what makes characters it's their personalities and actions that speak for them rather than their names. Also with all do respect to fans are the names from the OT any better? They have their own share of bad names and even concepts for characters back then. Saying the new guys are stupid and not the OT guys is just being a hypocrite and is unfair to the new generation.

Wake me up when they actually become some real entertaining characters, or even some memorable ones.

Let them be mindless, I just want some special mutants.

Anyway, where was I? It's not only the mutants, but their names too! They're HORRIBLE. I mean seriously? Mikey, why can't you just make up a cool name for the mutants? Writers, why do you want to make so many awful mutants and give them awful names? Mikey can still be funny, he can still have the development, you can still make the same jokes, but please make Mikey give them some awesome names in the end. Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender was very similar - they made awesome naming jokes, but the villains (or whatever he was naming) actually received decent names in the end. Heck, some of the "joke-names" were actually catchy (Sparky Sparky Boom Man! Team BoomerAANG!).

Gosh. Infact, I can make up better names! Here's a list for each mutant:

Snakeweed - Although the names cheezy, it's actually catchy! Let him keep it.
Spiderbitez - Since he makes strings, and his body is in the form of a ball, I'll call him Ballstring. Not so good, but still better than Spiderbitez.
Justin - Manymal. Mix from "many" and "animal".
Dogpound - Since a synomim for dog is "hound", I'll call him Houndpound.
Fishface - Fishlegs? Kinda satiric and great at poking fun at Fishface's lack of legs.
Leatherhead - Since he's an aligator, I'll call him AL! Just kidding, his name is fine.

What do you think?

You think you can come up with better names but those sounded a LOT worse and lame tbh.

Leave things as they are.

Weren't you informed I was JOKING when I made the forum?

**Jester** · 06-04-2013, 07:43 PM

Then what, aside from a really bad joke (and I know from bad jokes), was the point of this thread?

The point was to state that the Nick mutants' names sound cheezy in some situations. The names I gave were a joke.

'cept Ballstring, Ballstring's awesome.

I don't want to think of a kitten's yarn ball when looking at a spider mutant enemy.

I think the thread should stay... to honer the origins of the wonders that is... BALLSTRING!

**Jester** · 06-06-2013, 06:18 PM

And Ballstring became an annoying trending forum meme at exactly....2 days ago.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-06-2013, 06:55 PM

Ballstring was cute once, please stop. Theres better memes to use.

And the official names on the mutants are fine, very similar to names of old.
