Yeah, quite the contrary, in color the skin tones make it even easier to tell 'em apart.

I like them in red as well. That is what they originally wore and to me makes them more of a legit ninja clan, IMO. But from the looks of the covers I'm not sure if they are indeed changing them to rainbow. We shall see.

So I guess we shouldn't go by covers to predict what's going to happen.

I'm pretty sure they are going to change to multi-colored turtles now, it's okay, Tristan also said they will have a very good reason for doing so and I believe him.

I hope they will still at least reference what the red headbands stand for before they decide to change though.

You know I was just thinking, it's funny how this thread is bigger then the "turtles might be human" thread.

You'd think people would be a lot more concerned about that then their fashion wear.

Rainbow Bandannas... where's the other three turtles?

Does anyone actually think it's possible that someone can come up with a way to explain the bandana change that would make you say, ''Whoa, that's awesome'' or ''That makes sense''. I just can't. Sorry. This series started out with them wearing all red and now they are changing it. I don't really care what anyone says, they should stay with red. Those colored bandanas were created specifically for kids. Now they want to explain them having it in a ''cool'' way. I just don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE turtles fan and I'm am down with IDW. I think they are doing an awesome job with the series but damn, the turtles in the comic book should have red bandanas. With the color change it feels a bit gimmicky, to appeal to the more casual Tmnt fan. The same fan that has no clue who Eastman or Laird even are. The red bandanas are more than just a color. They're a symbol. Rant over.

Well, there is actual evidence of the color change for the masks whereas the "turtles might be human" is pure speculation.

Slash, Venus, April that one time.

When I first got interested in the IDW comics, I didn't get why there were 4 raphs 'cause I watched the 2k3 series ahah. But I now like the red bandanas better. I don't really know why.. I find them cooler that way!

I can't either but I'm not a writer, I'll wait and see what reason IDW will throw at us.

Though not related to IDW, we could start talking about the Nick 3 toe thing.....

Rainbow Turtles

Thanks for the heads up about the mask. Its so hard to figure out which turtle is which without the respective weapon in the panel. It would be cool if something was done similar to TMNT Adventures#71 and #72 which showed they all carried bo staffs at first in that continuity. Its easier for casual fans and die-hard fans to tell the TMNT apart. I know I struggle to do so even as a big fan. The colored mask are the most defiinitive trait that the '87 series gave us and I hope it does stick instead of jsut a storyline or so and we can keep Leo in blue, Mike in orange, and Don in purple. Even if there is a different green tone of their skin the mask are classic and definitive and one does not have to think who is who trying to remember who has what tone for the particular incarnation.

That's pretty weird.

Even among TMNTA fans (and I am among them) pretty much that whole aspect of the storyline -- to say nothing of the storyline itself -- is regarded as much as horsesh*t as it is apocrypha.

This is a joke. You're making a joke, right? I have to believe this is some attempt at humor.

Apart from the rash, you mean.

Yeah... let's hope not.

Why stop there? Different colored skins, different colored bandannas, different weapons, different body types, different faces... let's go ahead and bring back the super iconic letters on their belt, too. Perhaps while we're at it, we can add different colors to the Turtles' eyes too. Or you know, on second thought sometimes it's hard to see the letters on their belts... the "R" sometimes looks like a "D" to me, so let's just go ahead and give them full-on nametags on their plastrons. That's something a ninja clan would do, right? Maybe the other ninjas they're fighting might get confused which one they're fighting.

Everyone's allowed their own opinion, it doesn't make them worse or better than anyone else.

**Venom** · 12-20-2011, 04:50 PM

Yes, it does. Very much so.

I think that issue #5 explains the Red and multi-colored head bands very well. I really like how they did it, but that's just me.

We all know it's coming, but put spoiler tags around your posts if you're going to blurt stuff like that out.
