but I really like that look, it means that the computer animation is so good at creating these surfaces that our brains automaticly assume this to be real objects and be lit by real light as everything else...its a testimony of how good the show#s visuals are actually...
I mentioned this clay look a fes episodes back already..(but wuld anybody believe me?NO..cause you all just think im some kind of bone head..)

Hahahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one, now that you mention it the animation is way better than I thought, some times they really do look like objects.

I can't speak for everyone here, but I, personally, do have a sense of humor. You just haven't said anything funny.

In any case, feel free to leave: you owe us nothing, and nobody's making you stay, so if you don't enjoy the place, there's no point in trying to convince you to do otherwise. That said, nobody made you come here, either, and I, personally, do not appreciate you insulting people just because they happen to hold opinions that you disagree with but are otherwise innocuous, or because they occasionally imply that a particular creator is not the second coming of Jane Austen.

Yes, the thoughts and opinions expressed here are sometimes (often?) incredibly frustrating. Yes, you're perfectly allowed to take umbrage and/or offense at them, and to explain why you do or don't agree. You do not, however, get to just come in here and insult a community you are not a part of. Whether you're a creator or not--and I have no reason to believe you aren't--this is not the behavior of someone who is acting in good faith; it's the behavior of a troll. Don't be a troll; it's not a good look on anyone.

(And if the post was meant to be sarcastic, then your tone needs work.)

???

People can have valid criticisms of the show. I just wish Baxter's motivation or backstory were handled better.

The guy who worked at TCRI wasn't a Kraang so I hope it leads to something later on.

**Jester** · 10-21-2012, 01:12 PM

*reads some of the last few pages "criticisms"*
Yep, certainly need a better screening process....

The show is not as dark as the 2K3 so Baxter doesn’t need a deep background story, besides he is just a guy who is pissed at life and people, that tends to happen, and at least It’s a better origin than tempestra's “lightning hit an arcade machine and came to life story” don’t you think?

I think you're confusing yourself with that fictional guy named Baxter Stockman.

Baxter is human with shallow motivation, Tempestra was a computer chip brought to life and kept her programming.

Still a better story.

If someone gets pushed by other people to many times it can create a monster (I don't see why Baxter's motives are shallow), but if lighting strikes on stuff it just gets fried.

Im not saying that Baxters Background Story it's better because it's more realistic but because its better explained.

alliance · 10-21-2012, 01:51 PM

Honestly each episode is better than the last one for me, im loving this so much

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 10-21-2012, 01:57 PM

I would also restate what was already said earlier in this thread, Baxter's movation in Mirage, where his character originated, was "Because it's fun!" I could easily see Peter Laird, who wrote that story, approving this Baxter!

*Raph's Girl* · 10-21-2012, 02:02 PM

I just like to say that I rather enjoyed the ep. I felt sorry for Baxter tho. He was basically being bullied. Oh and I just like to say "Bees! My God!"

Also, Splinter's kinda abusive. Somebody should call CPS.

Incidentally, Crankshaw (the guy Capt Ryan keeps on slapping) is voiced by Scott Menville (Robin in Teen Titans).

Funny thing is Scott was also Bucky in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes with Brian Bloom (Capt Ryan) who was Capt. America.

Ciro if you read this know that me, my wife and 3 year old all love your version. In fact this is my favorite version of the show. I love the designs and everything. Don't let a few negative Nancys chase you off. A lot of us here love the show.

*zkarlette* · 10-21-2012, 02:14 PM

After all the skepticism I really love this show! So back of Cubed!

I like this guy!

Except that I did miss the Burton days while watching Nolan's tripe. Besides that you right dawg, you right. This dude actually involved with the show?

This too. Also the amount of two-faced ass kissing that goes on when a staff member around is astounding. Hate everywhere but as soon as someone official is on the scene 'Oh boy! I love you so much! Please read my Triceraton fanfiction! Love the show!'

Ciro, I would like to take this time to applaud you and everyone else who's involved with this show. You guys have done a fantastic job, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. I'm not going to get mad if you leave as I can understand why you would feel this way, but just know, as others have said, that you do have people who love the show. I'm going to keep watching because it just gets better and better.

As for Stockman's motivations, I thought they were sound. He's been bullied and ridiculed all his life, and he wants revenge for all the times he's been hurt and looked down upon. That's something anyone can relate to in today's society.

Keep up the good work, Ciro. If you do decide to leave, it was an honor having you here and posting to us fans.

shinefra · 10-21-2012, 03:16 PM

Who is this Ciro guy anyway?

I seriously want to hug you now. Because that was just awesome.

A nice guy who works on the Nick TMNT show who also has decided to interact with the fanbase.

And you all chased him off.

Wow how immature of him, just because somebody compared his show with the 2K3, It's not like anybody said it sucks. On the contrary almost everybody in the forum thinks its pretty good. This sort of thing is very common between fans.

Also I don't think calling your fans "Depressing was a good idea".
