The lack of Pizza

InsaneZane · 11-14-2003, 01:44 PM

I would just like to point out that Casey Jones is the only one that we've actually seen eat pizza in the new show so far...
We saw Leo asleep with a pizza in his hand in 'Nano', but we never actually saw a turtle eat pizza yet...
but they have eaten stuff like potato chips and scrambled eggs...

maybe i just missed it

**Karpo_007** · 11-14-2003, 02:22 PM

Yes, in this show they are not obsessed about Pizza.

Splinter · 11-14-2003, 03:07 PM

They've mentioned pizza a couple times. And in the 'Toddler' flashback, they're shown diving on a pizza and eating it like animals. But yes, they're no longer the pizza obsessed boys the old series made them out to be.

I wish they ate more pizza, how could you be a teenager withought it?

*Jephael* · 11-14-2003, 03:17 PM

It's all about advertising, dudes! Pizza just isn't as appetizing as it was 12 years ago!

donny also made mention in ep 2, at the start, that the mousers could chomp just like mikey through a pizza . . .

And in 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' (I think), Donny warns Splinter to watch the candle, because Mikey had a whole Chili Cheese Pizza for lunch. As well as Mikey talking about pizza, when him and his bros are spying on Leo meeting with Saki in 'The Shredder Strikes pt. 1'. So they talk about Pizza a lot, we just don't see their lives revolving around it now.

Yes, I knew I forgot one

If you watch episodes like The Unconvincing Turtle Titan or The Shredder Strikes Back Part 1, you can see pizza boxes littered all over the lair or April's apartment.

Oops, yep. My bad. I wasn't sure, and didn't want to throw my DVD in to check. Since I'm watching Episode I right now.

*XERO* · 11-15-2003, 08:43 PM

Here's all the pizza references I could think of:

A Better Mousetrap

Don: (narrating) "He may not look like much, but this tin toy can chomp his way through steel and concrete like Michelangelo through a pizza."

Attack Of the Mousers
Baby Turtles are scarfing wildy on a pizza.

Meet Casey Jones
Don: "Piece of pie!"
Mikey: "Hmmmm, piece of pizza pie!"

Nano
Leo is seen sleeping with a slice in his hand.

Darkness On the Edge of Town
Leo: "Ungh! Keep that flame away from Mikey. He scarfed down a whole chili pizza for dinner!"

The Way of Invisibility
Mike makes a grab for the last slice, only to have it snatched by Casey.

The Shredder Strikes, part I
Don: "What's he saying?"
Mike: "Something about onions...or maybe pepperoni and sausage, in a deep-dish crust!"

The Trouble with Triceratons
Mike: "Alien pizza; what a concept!

Hope I didn't miss anything.

The series does have some mentioning on pizza. but in Mirage comics I didn't think had too many references on pizza. But the show's animators focus on the TMNT but not too much on pizza like in the original show. I don't care if they eat it or not in the show. I like it because of the turtles Humor & Marshal Arts not what they eat.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-16-2003, 01:52 AM

It's still there, just not obsessed about.

*That Matt Guy* · 11-16-2003, 11:14 AM

Ah, yet another reason the new series doesn't appeal to me, not enough pizza scenes.

Sarcasm doesn't really work in written form.

*That Matt Guy* · 11-16-2003, 11:56 AM

Well, it should be pretty obvious. "I don't like the series because of the lack of pizza"? Come on, don't tell me you took it seriously.

**Karpo_007** · 11-16-2003, 12:01 PM

Wasn't sure, I have heard much stranger reasons from few old cartoon fans.

*Cascadia* · 11-16-2003, 05:10 PM

they might mention some things about pizza but they are not as nutty over pizza as they were in the original toon.

I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
