I never did understand why Trekker = correct and Trekkie = BAD.

I love Star Trek, call me what you will.

I've always ranked "Trekkie" as sounding better than "Trekker" on the Scale of Cool.

But I'm a 27-year-old ninja turtle fan so what the hell do I know? (kidding!)

Haha, me too. ^_^

And while that's on the older side for TMNT fans, it's on the younger side for Star Trek fans (sorta). Trekkie vs. Trekker could be an age thing.

I've never been a fan of Star Terk, but I admire his work done as Charles Xavier. Charles was granted that sourt of. . .awesome property that a live-action version of him demanded. But just about any character he protrays has some kind of intelliectual perception, so I'm sure Winters will not be any different.

You know, I actually liked this character. Maybe not the greatest one possible for this sort of story, but it is kinda nice that one of the TMNT movies had more of anti-villain, pretty much all the other antagonists in TMNT movies are just about as unambiguously evil as it gets.

Fun fact, technodrome member oldmanwinters chose that name since he loved the portrayal of Patrick Stewart as Max Winters so much and well both the VA and the character were old men.

I liked him too. Honestly the entire movie is unfairly maligned in my opinion. I'd have been fine seeing TMNT go in that direction for a while with that quality of CG.

I guess in some ways TMNT 12 is a spiritual successor.

No, I was using that moniker several years before the movie deal got signed between Mirage and Imagi.

Nice stretch though!

No one is going to believe that. What, next you're going to tell me that TigerClaw isn't named after his favorite mutant TigerClaw?

It is ironic two users did name themselves after TMNT characters that didn't exist yet at the time they made their usernames. I guess that's proof any random collection of words could be a TMNT character at some point.

Wouldn't be surprised if someones username was "Fishface" at one point. In the original cartoon episode where April turns into a fish, she does call Ray "Fishface" in the episode. This was back in 1990.

Winters, April, Casey, Karai and Narrator were originally voiced by regular voice actors. But the studio stepped in and forced them to use to celeb voices, so that might explain his performance lol
