TMNT Season 2 Official Info Thread

Mikey's comments are so cute:

"Everythings cold...COOL...like ice cream.."

It's hard to stay mad at the guy

I hate Turtles Forever for several big reasons, and one of them is that it did exaggerate the OT's goofiness (or confused the middle seasons for the whole show.)

I also wondered in that clip of why they didn't look surprised that the other dimension showed the OT Turtles as cartoons. Surely they should have expressed amazement "Why are we cartoons in that one?" Couldn't they see the other Turtles looking like cartoon drawings?

Loved the clip of ICK melting, but I love how the cat mutates into ICK. It wasn't that bad for me to watch. How long is Mikey going to be able to keep ICK hidden though?

The OT Turtles were always able to take down characters far more skilled at fighting than they were.

No matter how much better at fighting the Nick Turtles are, the OT Turtles would find a way to win. They're like Batman, no matter how strong their opponents are they use their wits to win.

"For the 80's"
Lol, but seriously as someone who grew up catching reruns on tv or watching vhs tapes, I know the 80's Turtles defently had it's share of seriousness (I'm on the side that thought they were poorly handled in 87/2k3 crossover - but it was still fun), but you've gotta think of the context here. 2012 Mikey didn't see this:


He saw this:


Honestly, that's exactly what I'd expect him to say seeing that shot.

Though, I'll laugh hard if 87 Mikey does the same thing, "Dudes, it's us! ... Why do we look like wimps?"

and the 03 wouldn't? they took down a lot of tough guys, heck it may have taken a bit 4 them 2 take down romaro but they still did it

[CyberCubed]

The 80's Turtles won battles by their wits rather than brute force.

The fight scenes in the OT were extremely brief. The Turtles faced as many dangers in that show as any other.

Nice, looking forward to this two part episode. Interesting to see the writers are already giving an early focus on Don/Casey's rivalry, I really wonder how them "working together" will turn out.

Who said they're making fun of it? Do you really think Rob Paulsen and the other OT voice actors (who are confirmed to appear voicewise btw) would have done this episode if they thought it was genuinely ripping the total **** out of the thing that put them where they are today? No.

And likely as not, if it was the other way round, the OT turtles would probably be just as bewildered at seeing the 2012 turtles. Michelangelo could just as easily drop the 'dork' line as Mikey.

This plot seems like it's possible Karai may learn about her past by the end of the episode, and if so, the $64,000 question may be answered.

Spoiler:

Were those alleged "fake" Tiger Claw/Karai/Shredder storyboards from a few weeks back real or not?

TV listings have the 1 hr special titled Wormquake! But according to Toonzone it's called 'The Manhattan Project' - I prefer the latter just because of the video game.

Also says we can see an exclusive sneak peek of the episode on Sunday.

Additionally, fans can get an exclusive sneak peek of “The Manhattan Project,” the upcoming one-hour episode premiering Friday, March 14, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) featuring the original 80’s voice cast, Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon, and Rob Paulsen who return to reprise their original roles as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, respectively, by visiting Nick.com or the Nick App beginning Sunday, March 2.

Awesome! Can't wait for the sneak peek. I also hope the tile will end up being "The Manhattan Project" as well.

[Donatello19]

Yeah, that title would be better...but I have a feeling it'll still end up being "Wormquake". Looking forward to the sneak peak on Sunday.

[NinjaPug]

I hope the clip isn't the same one from the USA Today article.

Also, FutonCritic released all the Nickelodeon premieres for March. The only new episodes for TMNT in March are the Rat King episode this Sunday and the 1 hr special on the 14th.

[marcelangelo]

here is another vote for the manhattan project...

[snake]

Manhatten project sounds so much better.

I'm also very partial to the 87 turtles. I don't know why there seems to be this rivalry developing between all the different incarnations of the turtles though. Anything that keeps the brand alive and going is OK with me. I certainly have my favorites and there are some I don't care for in the least but it's not like their existance erases the established series' that are already out there. If you have foundness for a certain version of the turtles than go back and watch it. No one is being forced to like one over another but we should all be glad that the characters we love are still getting attention after almost 30 years.

Having said that, I was always kind of bummed that the 87 turtles were never quite as badass in the actual cartoon as they seemed during the opening theme. Haha!

Why are you applying logic to an animated show about crime fighting Ninja Turtles that's mainly meant for children? Do you think these turtles sit around and wonder why they're computer animated.

It's fan service, man. Just sit back and enjoy it.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if OT Casey or April will speak. Since they didn't get their old voices I assume they'll do sound-a-likes if they have any lines.

Casey's voice should be easy enough to pull off. I hope he says, "LAAAAAAAAAAW-BREEEEAAAAAKER!"
