General TMNT Discussion

Should these threads change name to something else? 1987 is no longer what everything TMNT-related revolves around even in the fandom.

We pretty much have sub-forums for every other incarnation, so it'd seem a little unnecessary.

Yes, but why is the 1987 one still considered "general."

Well for one, the forum itself is The Technodrome.
And for another, it's where a bulk of the inspiration for later incarnations comes from.

But only because it was in the original cartoon.

It makes sense to talk about the franchise overall here.

I, for one, would like a thread about baseless speculation.

The OT characters somewhat finds itself in the general medium via crossover storylines.

I don't mind. The 1987 cartoon is still the best-known version of tmnt, so it makes sense that it's discussed in this section.

It was, even when the 2003 aired. I'm not sure that's the case anymore.
