the Ninja Turtles Twin Tower episode

[Anarky]

I don't care about how "destoryed" something is, but to edit a past program just because something was "destoryed" is definitely wrong. It's not like they could have known that someone would actually do what they show in their show? If production companies would have to worry about stuff like that, we wouldn't have cartoons at all.

Maybe the author of that YMTND-page wanted to show us that there was stuff that deserved the editing more than Spider-Man or something. You can't really tell what YTMND is telling you, since you can't articulate yourself on there. Maybe the author wanted to show that he's sick of seeing the footage of the towers getting destroyed over and over again... The possibilities are endless.

But go ahead and sue him or her. Don't just talk big, go and sue him. You know, people always go "Somebody should..." and they themselves are not willing to do anything, so I encourage everybody to do what they believe in. But: You'll have to face the consequences.

Wait? That Hasbro thing was made before or after 9/11?

Executive Decision is the movie about terrorists hi-jacking an airliner and planning to hit the White House I mentioned before. Anarky, guess who played the main role in that movie...

Yes, the guy from your avatar and signature.

Before. But one must sue everyone who has ever seen that cartoon or any other product or show by the company.

Would you believe that I've never seen that movie?

That looks like a "HeadMasters" episode or something like "Zone" or something else. It's not Season 1, 2 nor 3. I own those DVDs and I don't recall seeing that on the cartoon. You know on "Car Robots" Gigatron (Megatron) destoryed a twin tower by smashing in it. What was VERY werid was this..

On Fox Kids, they aired all the brand new cartoons on Saturday morning 9/9/01- Gigatron was in new York and smashed the tower by going through it.Then 9/11/01 hit that Monday and Fox never aired that episode ever again. Funny how The Simposons was SUPPOSE to air the Twin Towers episode that Monday as well.

You can't sue someone when what they did was harmless when they did it. There's a clause in the US Constitution that forbids the goverment from doing that. They've got the same rule in a lot of countries, for the record.

Good points. Those things hadn't occurred to me.

Are you guys talking about the first Spiderman movie (Raimi's) or a Spiderman cartoon?

Yep. Talk is cheap, so put your money where your mouth is, as the cliche goes.

I don't think that thing should be edited either. I mean, famous buildings get destroyed in fiction all the time.

Our society is too sensitive these days. Joking about 9/11 is wrong but editing all references to the WTC is just being a pansy.

Every time someone makes an issue about the WTC like this, somewhere, a terrorist smiles.

Really? Speaking of that ABC News annouced they might be removing these pre paid cell phones after a Target & WalMart reported a bunch of pre paid cells where bought bu suspicous lookin men.

Well going back on topic, How many episodes where there in total that involded the Twin Towers?

[Dragnskull]

heres my view on all this.

do we decide never to talk about Martin Luther king? do we decide never to mention nixon? do we yell at people who talk about WW and WWII? no. we remember them. we make movies about it, we teach it in school.

why should the Twin Towers be any different? respect what was lost, let it be remembered. this goes for movies that wish to have it in a scene, as well as past shows that have them.

By the way, what is so hilariously ironic about the infamous Amazing Spider-Man issue written by JMS about 9/11 was the fact villains like Doctor Doom were crying (Doctor Doom), and Spidy wondering how this could have happened, how such a tragedy unfolded...

.,.Did he forget Juggernaught beat them to it back in 1995?


I mean come on....

It was "Sky Turtles" (season 3, with the Technodrome in the Earth's core). Krang used a machine, placed near the Technodrome, to "play" with the laws of gravity in an attempt to force the city to surrender to him. He gave Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady used "anti-gravity boots" so they could resist the machines power (nothing happened to the Technodrome). First, Krang did so everything begun to float around like in space. Then, everything was pulled towards the ground expect for the birds because they were too high above the Technodrome. Then everything begun to leave the Earth and float out in space (which should have killed everyone without a space-suit). Donatello used the Channel 6 parabolic antenna to destroy Krangs machine and turning everything back to normal.

I agree completely.

Furthermore, the idea of the Twin Towers being destroyed is obviously a tasteless subject after the fact, but the idea of destroying famous landmarks, both in fiction and real life, is as old as civilization itself. The TMNT cartoon never struck me as taking the idea of violence or mass destruction too lightly, so I see no reason to edit or suppress any previous episodes.

[Sage Ninja]

ok let me ask this (and please don't get offended) is it at all written down in word or officiacly decided that in the future relases of the classic toon, that the episdes that contain plots about the twin towers will be cut or not shown at all? Or is this all just specualtion on the posters part that the future of the classic TMNT dvd release are going to get hacked because of the sencitiveity of the 9/11 incident?

[remix17]

They've already mentioned the towers twice on the Old Toon DVD releases, so I would assume not....and hope not...

[Turtledude2k3]

?? i'm sorry but I got confused on what the heck you guys are talking about? The two towers that was destoryed back 9/11 they cut that out?

I recall seeing them in tmnt 2 : secret of the ooze.

As far as I know, they didn't. This whole thread was about the possibility that they might do so, but it's all evidently just speculation. We were talking about the merits of the use of the Twin Towers in past and present fictional entertainment.

Someone I talk to online says, theepisode should of been cut. I feel for him, but it's not fair to destory a cartoon from the past to make the present happy.

I don't understand why it should be cut. Yeah and the twin towers were on the season 1 disc as well.

But if anything, those episodes with the twin towers in them should be left in, to commemorate 9-11.

That's like trying to cut out a part of American history.

What if the Soup Nazi episodes on Seinfield were cut because it was connected to Nazis, and thus the holocaust? It would've ruined it!!

What I'm trying to say here is this: don't cut something out because you consider it an "indisputable act of evil" or whatever (not trying to be argumentative here).

Those buildings were a part of the history of our nation. Cutting them out of those episodes is like trying to act like it never even happened at all. It hasn't been erased from our minds, so it shouldn't be erased from our media.

Whenever I see the twin towers in a show, movie, etc. (like that episode of the Simpsons, or Hackers, etc.) I am appreciative that they keep that footage on there so we can see how it used to be and think back to a time when those 2 buildings stood tall and proud, as the true symbols of the American spirit that they were.

Here is a link further describing the Twin Towers and their significance, for those who are interested:

I doubt many of us need the history lesson, we know full well what the towers represent, and what thier destruction led to, I also really dont' see the point of cutting an episode twenty years ahead of their destruction. If they were an icon of American architecture and enconomy, it makes more sense to keep it there, rather than strip new audiences and historians of them forever just because people were afflicted. By removing those towers, you're running away, you're MAKING people run away
