TMNT Vol. 3: Ultimate Showdown DVD - Page 2

*JTH* · 07-09-2013, 02:02 PM

I don't get what people are talking about saying they "Skipped I, Monster"

They are going by how they aired on TV, New Girl in Town aired before I, Monster despite the episode order saying otherwise.

The same thing was case with the original Star Trek DVD Season releases (Done by air date and not by story order), which was a DVD set also done by Paramount.

You're backwards. I, Monster aired first but was supposed to be in between New Girl and Alien Agenda.

Just looked it up, you're right. So now I'm more confused.

If they're going in proper order, what are people complaining about?

They're just afraid. I don't think it's anything to worry about though. I guess everyone's still shaken up over the "Planet of the Turtleoids" thing lol.

I think people are more confused as to why the first volume was split into two parts, while this second set has 12 episodes and finishes Season 1.

Why didn't Nick release them as half season sets to begin with? Why the first two volumes?

Well, to make more money. That's what Warner Bros. did until they realized people didn't want to spend 20 bucks for three episodes.

Wiki says that ''I, Monster'' aired on Jan 25th and that "New Girl In Town" aired on Feb 1st.

But lists the production numbers as being 114 for the former and 113 for the latter.

So these sets follow production order and not their air dates?

Lightjump · 07-11-2013, 07:58 AM

If the dvd is called the ultimate showdown, then I assume that the hour long season
finale is called the ultimate showdown, considering the news and dvd titles thus far it is logical to think since the last few where named after key episodes in the dvd set, (Rise of the turtles, Enter the Shredder UK).
So yeah that's it, kinda a guess but eh.

It looks that way. I'd just like to know what the intended chronological order is.

This is the Ultimate Showdown, a Ninja Turtle finale.
Good guys, Bad guys, and explosions. Just like a Michael Bay movie.
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown, our Ninja Turtle finale.

...Sorry, that's all I got.

*BabyTurtles* · 07-11-2013, 10:27 AM

wait......if the 1st dvd is supposed to have a leo bio....and the 2nd have a donnie bio......then the 3rd must have a raph bio
.....so if this is the last dvd....does that mean no mikey bio T^T?

(....until season 2??)

hmm my concerns are different then everyone else's XD

Since the 3rd set has two discs, it probably features both Raph and Mikey bios.

I don't think we have anything to worry about in terms of a missing episode, despite the cover saying "12 episodes".

The runtime is listed as 312 minutes. Assuming that doesn't take the special features into account (which likely won't have a huge runtime in themselves anyways), you divide 312 by 12 episodes, you get 26 minutes per episode, which is a bit long. However, you divide 312 by 13, you get 24 minutes per episode, which is the typical length of a modern half-hour cartoon without commercials.

TL;DR: They're counting the two-part season finale as one episode. There won't be any missing episodes, and we're technically getting 13 episodes.

okay, then I'm good :3 .....but I don't see why I'm complaining in the first place...I already bought all the episodes on I tunes XD...

FlawedCoil82 · 07-11-2013, 05:40 PM

Well, I feel much better about this dvd including 'I, Monster' after reading the description on Amazon:

"It's nonstop ninja action as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face off against new enemies and old, including the Rat King, Cockroach, Baxter Stockman, and more! All this, leading to the ultimate showdown against the Kraang and the Shredder himself!

http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant...f=pd_sim_mov_2

So looks like no worries.

*CyberCubed* · 07-11-2013, 06:29 PM

I guess those years of complaints have finally been reassured.

Gyt Kaliba · 07-11-2013, 06:55 PM

It also seems to reveal that the Kraang and Shredder are going to be working together in the 'ultimate showdown'. SPOILERS! ...That we could already see coming.

Toby Barrett · 07-13-2013, 01:22 PM

Makes me wonder, what if season two is split into three dvd sets as well? The first half being split between two one disc sets and a third two disc set?

I doubt it honestly. I think Volume 3 will be the test release to see if sales tell them to go with 2 Volume or go with 4.

Translation: Send a message to Nick, if you want more episodes per release, buy Volume 3.

Of course...(Coughs)...you people should be buying them anyway.

*CyberCubed* · 07-13-2013, 04:29 PM

I won't be buying them. They're a waste of money but they're good for parents to buy for their kids so at the same time I'm glad they're being released.

I'll wait for the rereleases.
