What would happen if the ooze touches a human.

[Chrissie Terrapin]

umm... well hehe... yes?

[TheUltimateShredhead]

I suppose the animal you have last been in contact with excluding your self or any other humans

So who/what keeps track of the last animal I came in contact with? Some kind of... invisible, magic animal-to-skin detection police, just in case I run into OT mutagen?

[TheUltimateShredhead]

Yeah, sure why not

You seem...weirdly angry about this. Did the old toon mutagen kill your family or something? We all know it doesn't make any sense. And when the old toon really wanted to bend the rules of its mutagen it just fell back on that batch being "unstable" in some way.

My bad, broski.

I'm sticking with the idea that mutagen hyper-evolves the animal whom makes physical contact with.
The part about Yoshi turning into a humanoid rat in the 80s tv series doesn't make sense ...unless humans are destined to evolve into rat-like people. >.>

In the pilot it's revealed that the ooze makes it's target changing into what ever animal he/she have most recently been in contact with, and also that hamato yoshi where mostly with his rat friends, so it does make sence.

Cept of course.... the fact that the last animals Yoshi touched were the turtles themselves that were touching the Mutagen. There shoulda been 5 mutant turtles, following the OT logic, just that one of them was already human.

Weird. Would a once-human Splinter-Turtle look any different than a fishbowl mutant turtle?

[cMac44111]

Splinter actually steps on the mutagen before he even touches the turtles. I see it as him coming out of a room where he was just with the rats although we never see this. If that's true then it wouldn't matter he touched the turtles as the mutagen would already be affecting his cell structure.

Here's a screen cap.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Amoeba, I love it.

The only thing that makes sense about the OT mutagen is that it would explain why Splinter is a ninjustu master, rather than a mutated rat that mimicked the moves of Yoshii from his cage.

I wants me some of the freaky goo to find out.

That... I will grant you.

I got some on my finger when I was 13 or so. Actually, I had to scoop it out with my finger because they made it like a gelatin mold... but, it didn't taste as good. Anyway, I've been a cat-man ever since... doing the things cat-men do.[/historicalfiction]

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Killing off a main character, among the "good guys" too, would probably have been considered to be "too violent" for a kids carton back in the 1980's, probably a major reason to the change.

I can assure you that I very well know how it went in the original series.
You're talking to someone who's been a TMNT fan for just over 20 years. I ain't a newbie.

But no. Realisticly, a human wouldn't mutate into a rat-person just because they handled some rats recently before then (assuming mutagen was real).
It doesn't scientificly make sence. And I beleive someone in this thread pointed out that if that is actually how mutagen works, then in that case a human would mutate into some kind of bacteria-creature (since that's what's likely on the person's hands).

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

Are you referring to the OT or the Mirage comic? I don't believe the OT was intended to be taken too seriously (e. g. why would Michelangelo, and only Michelangelo, have a "surfer" image?)

[TheUltimateShredhead]

Because each turtle where suppose to have each there typical personalities.

I agree. Also, then it would also have a better reason for Shredder and Splinter to have a bigger rivalry
