Worst Ninja Turtles Creation

[LeoNerdo]

Turtle Tunes easily.

I bought it for 99 cents, watched it once, and locked it away forever.

I believe it's none of the above. All of the stuff listed above would just blow this piece of crap away:

Just take a look at this one review:

I will defeat Joan Hakes Robie with what she uses so extensively in this book of hers. Right here, pages 47 and 48, where she gives her reasoning and summarizes the evils of TMNT. And I quote, word for word:
"Savior - Splinter (god-like figure, mentor, religious leader) is a giant-sized rat that is said to have rescued the Turtles from radiation and educated them into the Ninja Arts. This giant rat also acts as a father to the turtles in the cartoons, comic books, etc. Should a giant-sized rat become like God? Isn't this blasphemy?" Why is a father figure god? Splinter is Turtles' mentor and guardian, not a religious leader.

"Crime - The Shredder, is said to be ruthless and vengeful and has a brilliant criminal mind. Should we teach our children that crime pays?" But crime does pay! Why else would people commit it!

"Eastern Religions - Krang is the spiritual leader of Shredder. Krang speaks from his middle (stomach) where a demonic-like figure is visible." Now here's an insult! Krang is a slug-like alien who moves by the means of a robotic humanoid suit. Krang's control hub is located in the suit's mid-section. This character was not intended as a perverse religion, but as a most unlikely and cliche alien possible.

"Sex - in the Archie comics April O'Neal is seen as a voluptuous and sexy female. In the movie O'Neal's skirts are so short (or she is wearing shorts) that they reveal her legs almost to the top of the thigh. Should our children see women only as sex images?" I doubt that prepubescent children can comprehend the concept of a sex image. Moreover, a skirt that reveals the top of the thigh is a geometric impossibility. Thirdly, I have seen the film and know the above claims to be entirely false. O'Neal is merely wearing the clothes that were in vogue at the time.

"Darkness - The movie (which is rated PG and recommended for 4 to 12 year-olds) takes place in darkness where "night action" occurs. Children are prone to be afraid of the dark. Many evil deeds are done in darkness. The Bible says...men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil (John 3:19)." Children are afraid of the dark because it deprives them of sensory input, and, therefore, their link to the safe world around them. Obviously, for children who are watching the film in a well-lit room the darkness is not much trouble. Moreover, the film was recommended for children from 7 to 13 years of age.

"Weapons - names of ninja (lethal) weapons, their description and use are incorporated into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series." Note that only one of the Turtles' weapons is edged. All others are lethal only in the hands of a professional. Also, for some reason the author obscesses with the ninja axe, the bisento. None of the characters use it.

"Meditation - The Ninja uses meditation to obtain physical power and "inner strength." Meditation is a religion that does not accept Jesus Christ, the Messiah as the one true God." Meditation is not a religion. It is merely a method of relaxation and concentration.

Furthermore, Joan Hakes Robie uses piteous and disturbingly implicit drawings of the Turtles to prove her point. Come on, this series was created for teenagers as a spoof of all others! It hasn't a hint of great violence!

Every copy of this should belong in the disintegrator unit!

Finally, check out this thread that discusses these imbesols:

If the Ninja Turtles weren't so popular, that fanatical ignoramus wouldn't have wrote such drivel. As a matter of fact, she would've found something else heavy in the media to lambaste with lies. Saying that, I don't count her "critical analysis" as a true TMNT creation. It's simple propaganda to fulfill a ridiculous agenda.

As for the poll itself, I can't say what I find is worse. I found good parts in everything except for Turtle Tunes, which I don't recall watching. Maybe I blocked it out.

[Fugitoid Jones]

Just recently DL'd the Christmas Special. I've never seen it, and I'm going to wait till around December to watch it. Last year I got my hands on the Star Wars Christmas Special and watched that for the first time around Christmas. Guess I'm starting a tradition of finding and watching rare, old gawdawful holiday specials that are sure to kill any kind of holiday spirit I have.


Oh, and I voted the 3rd movie. I've never seen Turtle Tunes or the aforementioned X-Mas special, and as bad as COOTS and TNM are, they have some kind of an innocent charm to them. TMNT III is pure crap in my opinion, with nothing redeeming about it.

[BentonGrey]

Man, as a kid I thought "Coming Out of Their Shells" was awesome. My cousin and I had an absolute blast when we went to see it. Even then, however, I knew that TMNT III was awful. I've never seen this fabled Christmas Special though. It looks like I'll have to track it down.

I voted for the next mutation.

Yeah, that show was pretty terrible. I was hard pressed to choose between it and the third movie. I just can't understand all the hatred of the concert series.

Maybe because it's hard to fathom four crimefighters (sorta) who go out of their ways to remain hidden from society (ignore the OT series for botching that up lol) out doing a music tour.

I liked TNM, though. At least it still involved fighting bad guys.

[Leo656]

Coming Out Of Their Shells was definitely over the top and campy, but overall it was executed way better than it had any right to be. Turtle Tunes and the Christmas Special were just dreck.

[TheRichternaut]

I remember I had baseball practice, litte league, that day. My parents left me, yeah left me, at my request to go to PIZZA Hut to get it. They said the lines were around the building and that they got the last one of 3 copies of the album. I even stlll have the video tape of the making of the tour. So young.

[Mr. Stay Puft]

While it is fan art and not an "official" TMNT creation, it has my vote as "the worst": Triceraton porn. Found it while Googling "triceraton". There are some things you just can't unsee, no matter how badly you want to.

[Dejablue]

What about that rare porn comic some guy at Archie made and only gave away 50 copies?

(Oh and I told a friend about that and he thinks the idea is so preposterously hilarious that he wants to see it. But I can't remember where it is. I just know I heard about it on these forums)

[Powder]

That's not one of the worst, it's one of the best. My dear friend, it's not opposite day!

[LeoNerdo]

I would argue the Ninja Turtles Anime figures into the worst creations somewhere.

[Ashangelo]

I would have to go with the Christmas Special, that thing was a train wreck.

It's good for a laugh though. Who doesn't love Jamaican Leo? I know I do.

[inaheap]

I liked the music from Coming Out of their shells alright as a kid, but the concert video was bad!

It had 6 points. Legs, arm, wings, and head.
