I wonder how kids that are unfamiliar with the 87 cartoon are gonna react..

~~fridaynightdestination~~ · 03-08-2014, 10:10 PM

To the end of Wormquake/The Manhattan Project? If I was a kid I would just be sitting there thinking "What the heck is up with these other turtles? Get back to the real turtles!" Not trying to make fun of the 87 cartoon, that's just how I would react to it. But how are kids gonna react to that scene? Even though that scene is a great throwback, I don't think they should of done it because a lot of kids aren't going to know what's going on.

I don't think kids of today are that stupid. Unlike in our generation they have places like youtube and the internet.

Simply typing in, "Ninja Turtles" in google will bring up a whole bunch of classic Turtles stuff.

For once, I agree with CyberCubed. Kids aren't stupid, they're many out there who know about the OT. They just did it to throw fans who were watching a bone. And I'm glad they did the cameo, it was nice to hear the original VAs again.

Back in my day we had no internet and no youtube and no nothing.

If we missed an episode on TV we were out of luck until they showed reruns weeks later. There was no such thing as online streaming.

We also had to make due with small crappy TV's and snowy picture. And the only way to discuss episodes was with friends at school since you couldn't talk on the internet.

We also had to walk to school in our bare feet in the dead of winter on the snow even. We all got frostbite on our feet and had to dunk them in hot water for the first 2 hours of class before we started the day. The teachers were also allowed to hit the kids with rulers for misbehaving back then. We had it rough.

Wait....was that an actual joke?

Well played, sir.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 03-08-2014, 11:08 PM

True story. And I'm even older. I still remember back in the day when all we had to play with were rocks! We'd throw them at each other, come home all bloody, and that's the way it was and we liked it!

As for the topic- I just hope today's kids get the joke in that episode.

Or stepping into a Hot Topics or Spencer's store. Both have tons of retro stuff in them that kids think are cool today.

*snake* · 03-09-2014, 12:28 AM

Current kid here, seen most of the OT and all 4kids. Yeah I got it, I assume most children my age would get it.

*Powder* · 03-09-2014, 12:31 AM

If they don't get it, they'll probably just assume that we're getting a glance into a made up alternate universe. No harm done~

With all the wacky/sci-fi stuff, gross out humor, etc, I see no reason for them to be weirded out or confused by it.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-09-2014, 09:10 AM

As others have said, they could always ask their parents about the OT Turtles or do a search on the Internet.

And, Powder, that's one awesome avvie and sig, dude.

*Shark_Blade* · 03-09-2014, 10:15 AM

Anyone with common sense would know it's an old version of the turtles, even little kids.

Like when people see black and white classic Mickey, they're not gonna panic thinking wtf is that end of the world apocalypse. They have brains, they can think.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-09-2014, 11:08 AM

Same reaction as to all the different marvel cartoons and movies.

~~fridaynightdestination~~ · 03-09-2014, 11:12 AM

No offense to any of you, but this is supposed to be about kids that, for some reason, don't know of the original series. I'm sure a lot of kids do know of it, but this is supposed to be about kids that actually don't.

*CyberCubed* · 03-09-2014, 12:36 PM

It's like when we all first discovered Batman, it didn't take us that long to figure out how many different incarnations of Batman there were.

For kids of today:

- DCAU Kevin Conroy Batman (B:TAS, S:TAS, Batman Beyond and Justice League

- The Batman

- Brave and the Bold Batman

- Beware the Batman

- Young Justice Batman

- Nolan Movie Trilogy Batman

- 1989 Batman movie and Batman Returns Batman

- Batman Forever and Batman and Robin Batman

- 60's Adam West Batman

- Superfriends era Batman

- Lego Batman

- DC Comics Batman

- New 52 Batman

- Batman Arkham videogame Batman

So many different Batman series.....!

Nice sig

That's like asking, do kids these days know about iPads? I've driven by kids that are 8 at best and have seen so many with them.

If your curious about who these guy's are all they need to do is look it up your iPad or computer, simple

The picture in your signature made that extremely poignant.
