Why didnt episode 5 take place in the dark - Page 2

*Kendamu* · 07-24-2015, 02:21 AM

It probably took place in the middle of the day for a couple reasons:

1) A giant Krang smashing stuff up in the middle of the day seems more epic.

2) The Turtles had resigned to the fact that April would have to tell the world about them, so there was no use in hiding anymore.

Also, about Raph vs Shredder, that fight wouldn't have been a good representation of an actual battle had it actually had more animation. The Turtles were using Ninja-style guerrilla tactics. The aggressive attack was just a distraction while Donatello accomplished the real task of getting rid of the Technodrome all at once.

The OT lost its dark edge way before episode 5.

I honestly would have preferred the miniseries in the Red Sky style.

There is no fun in being mean. Not exactly the best way to welcome members so let's just stop now.

I have never seen that! I must look that up! Piper is still one of my fav old-school wrestlers because he was so darn nuts! Youtube here I come!

Good luck, I have a feeling WWE probably scrubbed that from YouTube like they do with most things. I, however, own a copy of "Rowdy Roddy Piper's Greatest Hits" on VHS so I'll forever be set.

Yeah, seems like it. Lucky! Wish I had that just for his segment with himself. I'm sure it's as entertaining as his black/white thing for Wrestlemania VI. lol

Or that time he called Bruno Sammartino a "dumb Wop" in Madison Square Garden.

See, back in the 80s, wrestlers used good old-fashioned Family Style racism that the whole family could enjoy.

Hogan just forgot that you can only be racist in front of tens of thousands of people so that everyone knows you're Just Kidding.

Hm, I always thought it was an act (Piper). Still sad about Hogan, though.

I don't think either of them really hates anyone. They're just kind of stupid when they think nobody's paying attention or they think they can get away with it. Ah well.

8pm is not considered dark in some places chuck!
