We've got to [something something something] before April/Shredder/whoever [something something somethings]!"

EDIT: I felt like making stereotypical lines for the other guys, too.

"Hey, dudes! Before we [do something relevant to the plot] we should get a pizza!" -- Mike
"If you guys can buy me some time, I can [technobabble that conveniently resolves the plot]." -- Don
"[Breaks the fourth wall to make a sarcastic remark about the current predicament]." -- Raph

I am a hardcore Leo fan, and I don't like seeing him called out because I respect his character so much

That said I can totally take the boring thing honestly, because I know Leo's view point of the world in any media is not everyone's cup of tea.

It was more the "useless" remark that kind of gave me a WTF type moment. I mean I have heard Leo called many things (because when your a Leo fan and someone asks you who your favorite Turtle is most of the time you are going to get a negative remark about liking him *laughs*) but I have never had anyone flat out say that Leo isn't needed.

I just don't think that's true. Leo serves a purpose within the family same as each of the other guys do and there is a void when he's not there same as each of the other guys. *shurgs*

I was more messing with you than anything.

I guess much like Leo I don't have a very good sense of humor

I tend to take things to seriously

Though everything is always in good jest! I rarely get to really talk about Turtles with anyone so I always enjoy my time here!

As a Leonardo fan I do get a little tired of him always being considering the boring Turtle And the fact this guy pretty much called him useless got an eye roll out of me.

While I enjoyed this overall that part pretty much blew what little credibility the guy had left in my eyes as someone who understands this franchise at all.

I was surprised that he called him useless, but I guess (from his pov), and I think he even said it, he felt that there shouldn't have been a leader in general. For me, I did find Leo to be a boring character, but not a useless one. I guess he was too goody-goody for me. I still like him as much as the others, just can't favor him.

Bottom line, I just can't see how anyone can say that Leo isn't needed.

Looks like James needs to re-watch, Take Me To Your Leader

Take Me To Your Leader was a so-so ep, imo. It was good for Leo, but bad for the other three, especially Raph, imo.

& that is the point! He needs to re-evaluate Leo.

I am so glad you guys see it an opinion.

it's not that I disagree...that episode just shows how much they need Leo. It's kinda like Leonardo: Renaissance Turtle only in that one Leo has to face a threat without the aid of the other turtles.

Yeah, but Donny seemed off to me for that ep and Raph wasn't given a fair chance (imo). I felt that Leonardo: Renaissance Turtle was a much better Leo-focused ep since it showed just how "balanced" he was (just like for the games).

Oh, God...CyberCubed is actually the AVGN!

Nothing profound in this week's vid. I agree with James that it is very annoying but we already knew that. This week's video seems to be for people who are not tmnt fans since nearly all of us already know the dvds make no sense

He makes some strange mistakes in his analysis, like praising the "Season 4" 2k3 DVD release for collecting all 14 episodes of the season. He didn't even mention that "Plan Six from Outer Space" was included twice on Volume 6 & Season 4 of the Old Toon releases.

Still, the Nerd has a legit beef at the mind-bogglingly odd decisions in how to release the turtles toons on DVD. And he didn't even get into the Turtles Forever fiasco. He probably could have gone on for another 10 minutes about how bad a deal that was.

Also, it looks like he's got a really clear quality copy of "Planet of the Turtleoids." I wanna know where he got that from.

I didn't know that about the DVDs. Aside from Volume I of the original series when it first came out, I never collected anything beyond that (lost my job back then, so it was the last thing on my mind) and I don't even have Volume I anymore because I lent it out and never got it back before I could even watch much of it.

Since I'm able to now, I'm ready to go back to collecting, but I had no idea the DVD releases were so screwed or that it's rare to get some of it now.

[Bjarni]

His last two videos were really entertaining. That's what matters most to me when it comes to James. I'm not expecting him to bring out some new info on the TMNT, I just want to see him talk about the Turtles.
The fact that he talked at all about the new show was a very pleasant surprise.

[sdp]

The fandom has to do something to get the three missing episodes of the OT on DVD, and while we're at it the last two seasons on DVD. Lets not get started on the 2k3 show.


So does this mean that James did not watch the missing episodes or did he get bootleg versions of the missing episodes? Thats what I hope. He had only mentioned the OT but this video clearly proves he's collected the 2k3 show, I hope he reviews that show as well.
