What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 121

**Machias Banshee** · 11-21-2014, 07:54 PM

The fight has been removed and is under Staff review.

The next person that tries to bring it back up AT ALL Will get banned for a week.

I am not ****ing joking here.

Not exactly a gear grinder, but I kinda miss Mikey QM's forum and all the people who used to frequent that site. We had us quite a little ragtag group there.

I hate that I get motion sickness. Sometimes it gets so bad that even after I've been out of the vehicle for a few hours I still feel nauseous.

*blindturtle02* · 11-22-2014, 02:39 AM

That happens to me too sometimes, LL. I can't ride with one of my cousins because she steps on those breaks a lot when I'm visiting them in TN. Mostly happens when traffic is backed up or something. But it's like she'll be driving for a few feet, jerk to a stop, go again, sudden stop... I'm okay if I've eaten, but for some reason I can't tolerate it if my stomach is empty. I don't like her turns either. Very very glad my better half doesn't do that sort of thing even though we've been in a few traffic jams. She steps on her breaks but I don't feel like I'm inside a Christmas present shaken by a persistent four year old when she does it.

Oh, Jeph, I so hear you there. That forum was awesome, and I miss it every day, though I can understand why he got rid of it. He just had RL stuff to do and couldn't keep it up. Those were the days though. Makes me wish I had joined sooner. I keep thinking about all the discussions we could be having about the new show right now. *sighs* Ah, well, nothing to do but look back on old times.

A gear grinder: Freezing rain and how our steps and sidewalk is covered in ice. Ugh. Hate this stuff.

Gear grinder. Louisiana gets no snow lol

What grinds my gears are new fans. Y'know. The newbies who don't know anything about the TMNT's history and don't appreciate classic characters. People who don't even know who Bebop and Rocksteady are! Who don't know who Peter Laird is!
Another thing that grinds my gears are people who hate villains. I remember getting in an argument with this dumb ass fan girl who claims she hates villains (including Shredder) and that the show would be better without them.
So I mostly I have pet peeves with fan girls who don't know crap.

The scary thing is there's a good chance the current series could be followed up by something in the vein of Teen Titans Go!, which barely shows villains.

This. This all the way. And when it's freezing outside and it RAINS, that's just a sick tease.

*Autbot_Benz* · 11-22-2014, 03:06 PM

one thing that grinds my gears are fake Dr.Who fangirls/ Tennant and Smith fangirls who only like the doctor if he is young and attractive. They don't care about the Who History or anything else.

Where the hell was y'all last year? I'm right smack in the middle and we got a good bit. Most I've ever seen.

Edit: no, wait that was this year

*BubblyShell22* · 11-22-2014, 04:51 PM

You guys are lucky you don't get snow all of the time. I hate it.

*Jephael* · 11-22-2014, 04:58 PM

My niece really needs to learn to control the volume of her voice. I'm literally half-deaf, so I can't imagine how loud she sounds to the rest of my family.

That... doesn't make sense - if you're a new fan, of course you don't know everything about the franchise yet when you've only just gotten into it.

Some people start off on the franchise by picking up a comic, others start off on one of the shows. Everyone starts somewhere. It really doesn't encourage new fans to stick around and learn more when people give them attitude over what they don't know instead of being friendly and saying "Hey, you'd probably really enjoy ____ as well." It's not a competition over who knows the most about the franchise - anyone who enjoys any aspect of TMNT has the right to be part of the community.

Just remember - you were a new fan once as well. Everyone here was a new fan of something once.

*Netkeeper* · 11-22-2014, 06:55 PM

Thank you, Penny. I hate people that think being a "new" fan is some sin. That mindset needs to die, honestly, as it does nothing but make a fandom look like it's full of elitists.

When I know a lot about a franchise's history, I do feel a glowing sense of pride, but I never lord it over others that may not know as much. I see it as an opportunity to teach someone else what I know. For me, that's an incredible and fun chance, and I'd never skip on it if someone wanted to learn from me.

kungfufrogz · 11-22-2014, 07:05 PM

I have no problem with new fans who are willing to learn. Its the ones who don't that get to me.

Well Metairie got no snow at all. Where do you live in louisiana?

*ssjup81* · 11-22-2014, 08:07 PM

The basis and example for this coming to mind is trivial, but is an actual gear grind if this was actually a real-life situation and for something of actual relevance...

the nick series is essentially the teen titans go of the franchise. The original teen titans, edgy, entertaining. made you think, good story lines.

teen titans go, mindless, funny, pretty laughable story lines.

2k3 is essentially the first teen titans.

2012 tmnt pretty much follows suit with the teen titans go analysis.

But at least we know what rock bottom for our franchise looks like with that show and the bay movies. And it's still bringing in fans. So I'd say the future is pretty bright.
