I know...

I dunno, I was just following the instagram breadcrumbs about Irma when it lead me to his page, and there, around July I believe, he's congratulating himself for getting promoted to exec producer and head writer of TMNT. Doesn't specify what season this is to start.

[Luckyday]

Knowing which season might effect my decision on with season to take a break on. Who knows? It might get better in future....then again I said the same thing about Naruto seven years ago.

The Mutation Situation, The Kraang Conspiracy, The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman, and The Invasion part 1 (so he'll probably the reason why Irma is a Kraang).


he co wrote The Manhattan Project but I think John Shirley was the reason why it was so good.

Hehehe, I remember reading when the first episode showed for season 2, and Cybercube bitched about the writer, and here comes in Ciro to defend the dude after he swore he'd never come back to the technodrome again. I just thought the whole thing was funny.

You know what. Someone over at Youtube redid the Invasion, and just put in the Leo one shot part, and that was pretty sharp. It flowed so well without the Kraang invasion to take you out of the moment.

^ Weird. Makes me think Ciro a lurker or something.

I think we got several famous people and crew who work on all sorts of TMNT projects from the movies, comics, cartoons to video games lurking on here. They might even be one of our friends for all we know.

Ironic, I liked all if those to some extent, especially the Invasion Part 1, but the rest I don't favor.

That's only giving me a solid reason to keep writing this

A idea for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that is base on issue 17 of volume one.
Title: Let Me Tell You A Story...
Summary: A one shot episode that is done in a 2D animation by the team who did Avatar: the Last Airbender with a tone thats reminiscent of Samurai Jack. The episode begins with a nameless anthropomorphic turtle samurai in feudal Japan who on a quest to find his family but finds himself entangle with a civil war and must rescue the beautiful princess Tai from the evil claws of Lord Tacho. When peace is restore and the princess safe, the brave turtle samurai returns to his quest but not until his tells his name. He is no other but Micaelangelo. It then cuts back to the real world (the one with Cgi) in underground the sewers with Mikey sitting at his desk his mask hung around his neck like a bandana. He looks at Ice Cream Kitty and ask her if it's was too cheesy.

Cause I realllly want this to happen so bad.

The show likes to beat us with how Leo is better than Raph because he's a tactician and can think things through, and then a few episodes later, Splinter scolds Donnie because he overthinks things and uses Mikey as an example that turning off your brain and rely on your instincts and training during fighting might be a better alternative (in military combat situations, they will always tell you, what saved their asses is either their training, or the guy next to them, so take that bit of info into consideration)

Good god this. Even though it was 3 months after the events of the Invasion, April going from being helpless against Footbots to beating Raphael in a match (despite him being off-guard) was really unreasonable. The worst one for me was seeing Raphael struggling to fight a Kraang-bot in a boxing match in the Dimension X episode. The inconsistencies are starting to get really obvious.

Weren't those "leaked" storyboards confirmed to be fake?

Correction: A woman. Nancy Cartwright is 57 this month. Hard to believe really. But I see your point.

...........even though we already one of them play out in the show? And the other one took place in the woods and referenced Big Foot and what exactly is the next episode about again, and where does it take place?

[cryan]

A lot of people are ripping on Leo's new voice. I think it sounds a little more darker in terms of being lower in pitch then Biggs' voice was. Don't take this the wrong way but it sounded like Leo hit puberty.

Yeah, that was just, stupid, sloppy plot lines. Only thing I can think of, is maybe her alien DNA is allowing her to adapt far faster than a normal human. But I won't be surprised to see her in another fight with Karai and she needs to be saved by Donnie or Casey. Personally though, I did like the scene when Donnie did overpower Karai and her Footbots to save April. I wish we had more of that.

Not to mention, the last episode we saw Raphael, with an ax, cutting wood, so we know that backdrop already exists!

The Turtles discover Bigfoot in the woods, Donnie befriends it and insists that they protect it from a hunter.

Thought that was the direction they might have gone in, but they found another creative answer that works too.

Although the poor kid was laid up for three months, could have hit that age while he was out. They should make his voice crack on a rare occasion. Good for brother teasing.
