A Rat King movie?? - Page 2

*Jephael* · 02-04-2003, 03:15 PM

I can't help but wonder whether or not Eastman and Laird originated the Rat King character for the comics or the cartoon.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-04-2003, 04:26 PM

This just got me thinking, maybe this is just one MORE thing that Eastman and Laird ripped off (you know, like Baxter the fly ripping off Jeff Goldblum, Rex1 ripping off Robocop, yada yada...)

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 04:53 PM

Eastman and Laird has nothing to with Baxter the fly. And neither of them created Rat King, It was probably Ryan Brown, who was doing the Tales of TMNT at the time[Not sure, but I can check]. So Rat King was not made for the cartoon.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-04-2003, 04:54 PM

Why must you be so technical? I couldn't just say "something TMNT ripped off".

And I know the Rat King wasn't made for the cartoon first...

*That Matt Guy* · 02-04-2003, 04:54 PM

Baxter didn't turn into a fly in the comics?

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 04:59 PM

No he didn't. But I have heard he turned into a cyborg in volume 2. But Im still reading volume 1 so it will be some time before Im reading those stories.

And Yes if you say Eastman and Laird created Baxter the fly, I have to be technical and correct it.

I Still think Baxter turing into a fly is better. Basxter turning into a cyborg is cool too but I just can't see Baxter being anything but a fly thats what i grew up with.

And I always thought of a Rat King as a modern day Pied Piper.

Donatello02 · 02-04-2003, 06:47 PM

Baxter as a fly is better, I agree.

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 06:51 PM

well luckily that isn't happening.

*Jephael* · 02-04-2003, 06:59 PM

It would've been funny if the nerdy Baxter became a cyborg and the phsycotic Baxter got turned into a fly.

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 07:00 PM

Well the new show is more realistic, people will not turn into animals.

*Jephael* · 02-04-2003, 07:05 PM

Hey, you never know. Someone might get turned into a giraffe or a billy goat.

Donatello02 · 02-04-2003, 07:07 PM

And turning into a cyborg is more realistic how?

*Jephael* · 02-04-2003, 07:09 PM

Lets face it, TMNT is a fantasy world. It's not meant to be taken seriously on any level.

Donatello02 · 02-04-2003, 07:12 PM

I'd stil like to see Baxter the fly. And make him more darker and stuff. That would be cool. OH and they have to have a new darker Mutagen Man too. HE was the coolest villian.

**Nturtle** · 02-04-2003, 07:25 PM

Or maybe he could turn into a Cybork goat fly with laser death powers!!!!

Mwa ha ha ha!!!! Uhhhh... *ahem* sorry!

xZAOx · 02-04-2003, 08:08 PM

damn you nturtle! i was just about to say "how about he turns into a robot fly" hehe

**Nturtle** · 02-04-2003, 08:11 PM

Nyah!! Beat you to it!!!
