Belt Initials

*Jephael* · 08-24-2012, 09:16 PM

I'd really like to see a reference to the classic toon/Archie comics belt initials at some point. It'd be funny if they could incoporate it as an inside joke to how despite their obvious physical differences in this iteration, some casual fans will probably still have trouble telling which turtle is which.

Well, they could just refer to themselves as "L", "M", "D", and "R" at one occassion, and then someone could ask "Why not at least call us Leo, Mike, Raph, and Don?", and then someone could respond with "because it would make a great fashion accessory on your belts!"

Go away. Both of you.

Gotta admit, Jeff, not the strongest thread...

*Jephael* · 08-24-2012, 11:02 PM

Hey I do my best to come up with some thought-provoking theories and ideas! It ain't easy.

Ok...for the sake of the thread, maybe...MAYBE...Mikey could see a monogrammed "M" cowboy-style belt buckle at the 2nd Time Around (if it exists in this series) and put it on and point to it and say, "Huh? Huh!? What do you think?" and Raph (or Donnie...or both.) could say something sarcastic back.

Now that I can see happening. It's funny, simple and a great OT reference. Honestly I dunno why people get so high strung over a freaking cartoon for God's sake!

*BubblyShell22* · 08-25-2012, 07:19 AM

I think that would be hilarious. Didn't they make a reference to that in the 2K3 show once?

*Jephael* · 08-25-2012, 11:06 AM

They never did it until they actually met their counterparts in Turtles Forever.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-25-2012, 03:49 PM

No, I know they referenced it in 2K3. I think it was in "April's Artifact" where April accidentally mixed them up and Mikey said something about them maybe wearing initials on their belt buckles.

Why would April, by the time the series got to April's Artifact, still be mixing up the guys? Pretty sure there was never a initialed belt buckle reference, save for Turtles Forever.

EDIT: Also, I hate you for making me sit through this episode on Youtube, cause it's one of the 2 episodes that 4Kids decided need LAME musical interludes.

How about monogrammed headboards for their beds?

I don't care much about the belt initials, could have worked as a one time joke in the new toon.

Like Burt and Ernie?

I really don't care for the belt buckle initials, specially on the NM show.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-27-2012, 07:22 AM

Well, maybe you're right, Jester, but I could've sworn there was a belt buckle reference in 2K3. Maybe I'm just thinking of the wrong ep.
