And watch the sparks fly when Mother moves in.

That's it we're going down to 4kids and taking over da joint!

What were the other 2 stupid ideas? I remember one was a card game and the other has slipped my mind.

The other one was less than stupid: Ultimate TMNT

An idea, I kinda liked. At least aspects of it. Sounds like it'd have Archie bits, and theres where I'd be sold, and where Peter Laird did the big thumbs down.

*Drtooth* · 05-16-2008, 08:05 AM

Can't stop thinking about Karai being an unpleasant Obahan (Japanese term for grouchy old woman that let herself go- as per my understanding).

Anyway, I can only hope this is better than the writing of FF. I'm not going into that one again. I just want my characters to be subtle, not broad stereotypes or generalizations.

Huh card game? Do you have a link to that?

That's right, I remember being pissed about that.

It was called Super World, and no I don't.

Sounds good to me. A series that used characters from other universe besides Mirage would work quite well. I wish they'd picked that over what their doing now. The only thing I think might turn sour was "upping the humor level" but I thought FF was a lot funnier then 2K3 was so I guess that could work too.

I like how they referred to the new movie as 'grungy'. Whoever writes that saw the wrong movie.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 05-17-2008, 05:43 PM

I would have loved to have seen Ultimate TMNT if it had brought back Bebop and Rocksteady. I think they'd be a great duo if they were written to be a little more competent.

A card game? Really? That sounds dumber than the TMNT/little kid turtles team up.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-17-2008, 09:41 PM

I'm hoping they'll give us some more sneak peeks about the storylines. I've had a few requests and suggestions to continue writing Episode teasers like I'd done a couple years back... though I'd probably have some serious competition with our local 4Kids Rep.

Maaaaaaybe our local Rep could give some 'insight' on upcoming ep summaries when the time comes? *bats big ol' anime eyes*

What?! You cant blame me! That would be awesome.....

*Drtooth* · 05-18-2008, 07:57 AM

You know... the more I think about it, the less likely Ultimate TMNT would have been anyway. I think they could have altered it to fit 2k3, but half the stuff in the series (going back to the 80's origin of Hamato Yoshi Splinter) wouldn't have worked unless they started all over. It's something that I'd say to look for 5 years after this version ends.

It does sound like a great idea, but it also sounds more like a full fledged relaunch than a new season.

Casual Matt · 05-18-2008, 10:13 AM

Yeah, and I'm somewhat attached to the current turtles. But I'm still waiting for something to impress me as much as the first season did.

That was the majority of my complaint with the 'Ultimate' idea. As much as I'd love to see Archie-version anything on TV, it just wasn't the right time for it. It'd get all the audience who were only familiar with or cared about the 2K3 continuity totally confused about why long-standing facts were all of a sudden not so anymore, they'd lose interest rather than restart their understanding of the characters, and that would make our experiment in TMNT Adventures on the small screen be a triumph for Laird so he could say, "See? I told you this would never work". The rest of my issue with 'Ultimate' was Ruin (previously known as the overgrown Garbage Pail Kid, Mutagen Man). I detested the character, mainly for being uninspired.

Fugitoid Jones · 05-19-2008, 12:18 AM

What's up with Peter Laird? Why does he seem to hate anything related to the old toon and Archie universe? Is it just because HE didn't create the characters in those universes?

**Jo Dawn** · 05-19-2008, 04:04 PM

I'd say it's because it's what truly killed his original image (no pun intended) of his characters. Sure, it was popular in its day, but it's completely limited things now.

Not that I'd be quite proud of it, either. I feel using stupidity as humor is beneath what real writers can actually do.

X · 05-19-2008, 05:11 PM

I think the humor in the old cartoon would make more sense to an adult, then a child. In that I mean the old show had great humor, unlike some cartoons these days.

It still holds up pretty well in my eyes, and I am 29.

I am however, glad they made this new show more action packed, and less on the humor, as that should remain with the old show. I also hope that Rich Fogel, Marty Isenberg, and there's one more who writes for TMNT, writing for Transformers, return to write the new season.
