Biggest TMNT cartoon shock

the_minimizer · 12-05-2002, 12:05 AM

What happened in the cartoon that shocked you the most? What I found shocking was that Shredder actually blew up the Channel 6 building. I couldn't believe he actually went that far.

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:07 AM

I found shocking that krang was actually...male!!!

All those years i was thinking krang was a 'she'

Of course, i hadn't seen the toon in YEARS, so how would i know?

Shrdder blew up the Channel 6 Building ? when?

I think the biggest shock for me was years later reading about an episode that had the turtles, Mondo Gecko, the Frogs and Rahzar & Tokka in it. That completly blew me away.

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:16 AM

I also found amazing tokka & rahzar were in the cartoon...i wasn't expecting it.
But now i'm starting to wonder when shredder blew up the channel six building too

i don't remember that happening, so it must have been an episode i have not watched ( one of the only buildings blowing up i can remember in the toon was the one from turtle tracks, y'know, the one at the end of the episode, that gets filled with water then blows up. )
edit:
I found something about the channel 6 building blowing up:

It's talking about the 1994 season, so it seems to have happend in one of the red sky episodes...now i know why i haven't seen that ep

not a big fan of the red sky seasons...

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 12:18 AM

What blew me away when i watched the episode is that Tokka and Rahzar actually spoke. That was so weird.

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:20 AM

yeah, i was expecting them to be dumb, but they were actually pretty smart...
It also surprised me the relationship tokka and rahzar had, and how rahzar would protect tokka, in the movie they were just...dumb

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 12:22 AM

yeah that was really neat. I liked them in that episode.

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:24 AM

me too!
Tho i think i prefer the movie versions of them, but i guess that's because those were the first version of em i saw.

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 12:25 AM

yeah me too the first versions i see of things i like the best.

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:31 AM

same thing with me, that's why i'm so much of a cartoon fan instead of the comic or any other tmnt universe.

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 12:35 AM

You know what would have made that episode better.

1. All of the Frogs being there (Genghis, Napelon, Atilla & Rasputin. And Speaking!!!
2. Bebop & Rocksteady being kidnapped by Savage and having hrdder trying to track him down too.
3. More Mutants being kidnapped that we knew instead of those weird ones we had no clue were or never even introduced (example Man Ray, Ace Duck, Mona Lisa, Muckman)
5. If hes gunna be a snail mutant at least make him cool looking, he was one of the worst villians. I think a Snail Mutant would have rocked but not like that.
6 Most Importantly More MONDO GECKO!!!

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 12:39 AM

I definitely agree!
There's not enough of mondo gecko in tmnt toon world

and about the 3th comment... (tho there is no 4, yikes!

) that's a great idea, and could've been a chance for man ray to be introduced in the toon!
By example, the hunter discovers man ray and hunts him, then the turtles rescue him, and that's how they meet and become friends!
Or man ray rescuing the already captured mutants!

It was a good episode, i really liked all of the season 7 eps, but this one could've been better

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 12:51 AM

Man Ray in that episode How Cool Would That Have Been

*Nickokapo* · 12-05-2002, 01:09 AM

Way cooler than that other 'ray' toon character

He was one of the greatest characters archie had, i can't believe they didn't put him in the toon, and if ray was meant to be man ray...well they changed him too much

Mondo_Gecko · 12-05-2002, 01:16 AM

And the writers should be kicking themselves by putting that other Ray in there when they knew who the real Ray is, MAN RAY and that he dserved to be in that episode.

FreshRazz · 12-05-2002, 08:01 AM

Totally agree!

The episode in question is the first one that aired during the 1994 season, "Get Shredder!" During a fight scene, Krang gets captured by another alien named Drakus. However, the last time Shredder and crew saw Krang, one of the turtles had possession of him. So Shredder and crew think the Turtles are holding him hostage.

The bad guys go to Channel 6 to hold April and crew hostage until the Turtles give Krang back. Using April's Turtle comm, Shredder tells the Turtles they have 30 minutes to release Krang . . . or he will blow up the Channel 6 news building!

Well, the Turtles do battle with Drakus (who ends up being an incredibly weak villain; they defeat him in about, oh, seven seconds), retrieve Krang ("I never though I'd be happy to see your ugly faces!"), and race on over to Channel 6.

Shredder notes that for once the Turtles weren't on time. Donatello responds by saying that Channel 6 is still standing. Then Leonardo says the wrong thing at the wrong time: "I knew he was bluffing."

To which Shredder responds, "I . . . never . . . bluff." He presses a button, and Channel 6 is totally destroyed!

It was definitely a shocker for the series, considering Channel 6 was such a staple for the cartoon. But in the long run, I personally think it was a mistake because we never saw of any of April's friends again after that season. A big part of the April O'Neil character was lost after that episode.

April: "Do they really have an explosive device?"
Vernon: "They certainly do! I saw them carry it down to the basement!"
Burne: "You saw them? Why didn't you try and stop them?!"
Vernon: "Chief, a good reporter isn't supposed to get involved with the story!"

From "Get Shredder!"

I had never thought about that before, but you have a point. The episode would have been stronger if there had been more important mutants captured by Dirk Savage.

Just an interesting side note. The guy who voiced Dirk Savage has voiced other characters before. And since you are a fan of the Frogs, you probably already know this. But in the episode "Invasion of the Punk Frogs," there is another mutant hunter going around trying to capture mutants, namely the Turtles. Well, the Anti-Mutant Squad ends up capturing the Frogs, and the voice behind the Anti-Mutant Leader was the same guy who voiced Dirk Savage.

So the guy played two characters on the show who basically did the same thing, and both characters were five seasons apart. I just found that interesting.

"Okay, Savage. Now you, too, can be one of the good guys." - Donatello, from "Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter"

FreshRazz · 12-05-2002, 08:31 AM

Shocking!

Shellfox · 12-05-2002, 10:13 AM

Seemed like when they blow up Channel 6 it started a downward spiral for the series. Not sure why but they weren't as interesting

Biggest shock for me- That Casey jones could get an office job while wearing that hockey mask
