Motivating the Fandom

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I think the fan projects are some of the most interesting things to read about on here. I enjoy the various fan comics people come up with, and I think a documentary should be interesting to watch. I like that one that was made a few years back, in Canada I think, featuring the different Ninja Turtles fans, so I think one made by people enthusiastic about the Turtles should be even better.

I agree that it gets old reading nothing but people complaining all the time. Has the 25th anniversary been as amazing so far as a turtles fan would hope? Probably not, but at the same time it could be worse. The turtles could be even more obscure, and we could be getting even less. It's not wrong to want more, because I would like more too, but I think what we are getting is pretty good considering the turtles are not a franchise under one of the big two like Marvel and DC. During one interview at the New York Comic Con, someone mentioned Playmates using the same molds frequently because during a tough economy people need to be careful. I wonder if fans consider that with the current economy, maybe things are limited as far as what Mirage and others are capable of this year.

However, calling people morons is hardly "motivating".

What's this about Power Rangers and controversy? The only thing about Power Rangers that makes me think "controversial" was when parents complained that it was encouraging kids to beat people up.
