I appreciate my OT roots, but these guys written as they were in the 80s/90s would really make me uneasy and take the show in a negative direction, at least in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more with this.

Look Machias, I'm not saying that anyone sucks at life for disliking a facet of the TMNT, I just think that decision shouldn't be placed until they've seen it, that's all. I've not got anything left to say on that, & I'm not huge on arguing. You can hate the comics & still be a fan as long as you're passionate about the green guys, I don't care.

[Kendamu]

You're right. Good call!

Uhh, St. Nickelodeon, since you see us when we're sleeping and know when we're awake, you'll know when you've been bad or good so... thanks for the whole IDW thing! Also, we want more preview stuff. It doesn't need to be huge... just something more than half-a-second per Turtle.

No.

Armaggon confirmed!

They can definitely work as threatening powerhouses that the turtles just can not compete against strength wise, luckily for the turtles they aren't the brightest of the bunch so they can use that to their advantage. Just don't imagine the characters as their OT selves of "Master shredder *snort* the turtles are escaping", they wouldn't be smart but they also wouldn't be comedic morons like their OT selves.

That seems to be the big thing, Powder. I don't care for Next Mutation, and the 2 music specials (Turtle Chrismas and Tunes) but I didn't know that until I actually watched them. I at least gave them a fighting chance, which they for the most part failed....though as I've said the NM figures were pretty cool. They gave us Shredder's elite for the first time.

Then again with Turtle Christmas/Tunes I probably could have gone from screen caps.

How did this come into racism? Ugh. This place bugs me sometimes.

For the record "sheeple" is one of the dumbest portmanteaus I've ever read.

Remember, if you wanna demonize the opposition just call them racist...or as close to it as you can.


Sorry, Powder but that strikes me as as hyperbolic as some of the reactions from Joe, and people saying "Bush (or Obama) is HITLER!! OMG!!"

Just because you're not part of the majority doesn't make everyone else sheeple. For years this place has been almost nothing but overwhelming negativity from frequent posters to the point that I avoided coming here for months at a time because I found it annoying. I was part of the minority that actually did something other than complain when it came to TMNT.

I never considered any of those people sheeple for their negativity, though. If anything, the fact that people actually have something positive to say for once proves that fandom isn't full of lemmings and are capable of really judging something based on their real feelings.

Case in point: Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. It's cool to hate everything even if it has redeeming qualities.

TMNT fandom is not Sonic fandom.

I don't care that you rain on everyone's parade. I don't care that it causes controversy and you argue it out. Like and hate whatever you want. However, we are not some sort of hive mind civilization and I don't appreciate being accused of such crap.

Eh, I did edit out the sheeple thing after it posted, but apparently wasn't quite fast enough before you quoted it.

For the record, I didn't call him racist. Just sayin', even though someone agrees with you, it doesn't make you right or just etc.

Hm! I didn't catch it after I posted. Well, then. Forget what I said, then.

But you did call a her, a him.

I know...but you did go as close as you could. You used the spector of racism to make your point a bit more strong and emotional...but in the end, remember we're talking about a fictional property. No need for such heated rhetoric...on either side.

Wow this has turned into a Turtle Civil War, break out kookie kavalry Leonardo haha. Anyway. It warms my soul to see that I'm not totally crazy and alone in my thought processes but it breaks my heart to see everyone in this massive battle of forum posts now. I realize that I said some things before that I had no right in saying aloud because I was feeling it in a fit of rage, but I wish nothing but for all Turtle fans to get along. Of course we have witnessed similar "battles" between fans of more recent but previous versions of the TMNT. This one will be no exception to the rule I suppose. We all feel strongly about our green brothers as well as their supporting cast of characters and everyone is entitled to feel and believe what they want. But I don't want us all to separate ourselves into cliche 80s rival street gangs over it haha

[JoeGro]

Or maybe we should...... We don't like "Shell Heads" on "Wretched Reptile" turf ya dig?! Oh no! Theres gonna be a switchblade fight out behind the Dairy Queen ya'll!

[Powder]

I don't think there's any hatred about, right? I'm not heated, at least. I hold nothing against Leonardo Mystic, we could share a slice any time.

[JoeGro]

and if anyone is racist it's me, I'm a Green Supremacist. Turtle Power!?

[Kendamu]

Whether people agree with you or not, eventually what you're saying will come to light when more details can be shared.

No hard feelings?
