Turtles in high school? I don't remember coming across that.

Well, this place was founded in... 2000? 2001? That was even before the 2003 cartoon series existed. And when it came out a year or two later, Krang had to implement that rule because there was a lot of opposition between fans of both cartoon series. I was not here at the time yet, but I was on the internet already and I remember older teens and younger adults at the time simply looking down on the 2k3 series, while there were also others who were contrarians and claimed they never liked the FW series in the first place.

It's been a long time and people have forgotten by now, but there was a big divide in the fandom once the 2k3 series came out. Before FW you had Mirage, ofc, but very few people in the world read those before the internet was a thing, let's face it. So, in the minds of most of the world, the 1987 cartoon series are the original turtles. Therefore, the 2003 series was the first time a big divide in the fandom formed.

Treat your self to the 2023 masterpiece known as TMNT: Mutant Mayhem or any spinoff material.

Ah... I haven't kept up with the franchise in a long time and it shows.

I've seen the official art and... nope

Gun to my head, I still probably couldn't say which one I'd choose to watch: TMNT 2016 or Mutant Mayhem. They both just seem so ghastly, but interestingly for completely different reasons (for the most part).

I still haven't seen either, of course.

I wasn't self aware I mentioned AI was taking over in 5 years so much
I would've thought it'd be my obsession over The Next Mutation, which btw are not troll posts. My likes are such outliers that there is a blurry line between my honest posts and my shtpost ones. Well at times because the drome has me take my sht posts to cartoony levels only to be able to match the same energy of what's already being posted here

Bingo definitely needed some oldmanwinters love here are some I'd put on mine:

*Oldmanwinters randomly drops extremely obscure and/or lost media facts/scans in a topic
*Roseangelo comes back to make a snarky post about topic
*Andrew brings up politics to an unrelated thread
*Zarius defends 80s cartoon
*new member is driven away by hostility
*Dawn of the ninja mentioned+youtube interview posted in thread
*User that only posts in the TMNT Toy section posts (Looking at you Wes)
*TMNT 2014 slander is brought up
*Member who hasn't posted comes back suspiciously posts again once in a thread talking about old times, meaning they've been stalking the board in silence all along

There are no new members. Ever. It's all obfuscated alt accounts. Always.
And you forget "Ignore Listed".

I'd still say if you cut EVERYTHING out of 2007 except the "brotherhood"/"family" type scenes, there's something there. It would be a 20 minute movie, sure. But everything else is "nah."

I don't think I've watched it since the days of HD-DVD - Ironically I just sold TMNT 2007 on HD-DVD a few days ago. Crazy timing there.

I didn't put any stock into it allegedly being a sequel at the time. I just sort of accept it as a nicely animated Turtles "adventure". That movie is a bit like "The Temple of Doom" to me. It's not one of the massive events in the life of the hero - it's just a snapshot into some of the other things they did in their "adventurous lives".

I've only ever seen it the one time in theaters, ever.

It's really not offensively bad or anything in any way. It's just, "Wow, what a weird way to relaunch a TMNT movie franchise." I didn't care for the designs, either.

I mean... anyone who could sit through the Fred Wolf show and enjoy that to this day can certainly sit through TMNT 2007 and enjoy it as "another TMNT adventure". I also recall that the PS2 game based on that movie was pretty solid.

It's a solid movie for kids, it's not meant to be mind blowing.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy how TMNT had a fairly successful comeback in animation, comics, merch, etc. in an era when 80’s nostalgia was popping off and this was their big swing for the fences on a movie.

And the 4kids show was already in its way out by ‘07, basically. Seems like 2004-2005 would have been a smarter target.

Anyways, the 20th anniversary is about 1 year from now. You should absolutely watch it on a livestream or at least record a commentary. I would for sure tune in.

MM is the less offensive of those two. It at least has an interesting art direction (ignoring the fact that they ripped off Spider-verse) and is honest about being a cartoon for kids.

OOTS didn’t learn a single lesson from 2014 and doubled down on all the worst parts. Not to mention drawing even more from the FW well, and they didn’t even do them justice.

MM also did a better job with the celebrity castings. I do love Gary Anthony Williams, but the rest were all lame.

TMNT 2007 was a huge misfire in terms of creative. You can't make the first Ninja Turtles movie since 1993 with a plot and villains like the ones you had in 2007. They should have simply played things simple and made a TMNT vs. Shredder movie. It was the first movie in about 14 years. And it came out at a time where the 2k3 series was no longer that hot anymore. I remember when it was announced, TONS of people were like "The Turtles are back!"... yes, most people had no clue about the fact there was a cartoon airing at the time.

TMNT 2007 had a bit of huge for a week or so. After it came out... people forgot about it.

The PS2 game based on it was fun, though. A Prince of Persia clone with lots of jumping off roofs from building to building.
