I think the big problem with Smash Up, is that it was billed as a Turtles fighting game 25 years in the making, pulling from all the great characters from that 25 years of history...and we got the obvious (April O'Neil, Casey Jones, Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Shredder, and Splinter) some nice additions (Foot Ninja, Fugitoid, Karai, Nightwatcher, Utrominator) and three freakin' Rabbids!

[cryan]

I saw something that really insensed me on the TMNT wikipedia site:

It was also implied that Mona Lisa would have returned some time after the 8th season but the story scrapped in favor of the Dregg and Carter story arc instead.

Again she should have been in another episode.

[Spitfire]

Hm where to start
- The third movie.

- Smash Up and it's stupid design direction and character rooster.

- Neca canceling their line because they weren't selling well in countries that didn't know the turtles wore all red in the comics. Then they proceed to release black and white variants instead of releasing colored headbands. They also released April instead of Shredder because she was cheaper to produce even though logic dictates Shredder would have sold better. Should also add Playmates **** blocked Neca on being able to sell their turtles figures at TRU because they knew the Neca figures were 1000X better then anything they've ever done.

- Playmates constantly announcing and specing figures they never release, such as their Volume 4 style turtles.

- Playmates seriously dropping the ball on toys based off the 2K3 series after TMNT came out.

- Playmates making zero toys based off Red Sky and defaulting to tons of lame variants of the turtles.

- Playmates screwing up their statues making Raph and Don super rare.

- Fans bitching about how the Sideshow statues didn't look enough like the turtles so we get a Shredder statue ripped directly from the comic and they still bitch because he's not purple or whatever resulting in him not selling so well meaning we probably won't be getting anymore Sideshow statues. Way to go.

- The fans bitching about how horrible Fast Forward was, even though it wasn't, and getting it canceled in favor of BTTS which was 100X worse then FF was even on it's worst episode. Only to later find out they had an amazing season 2 planned for FF.

- What happened with Laird and Volume 4. Yet again more whining getting something cancelled.

- Honestly the main IDW series hasn't done anything for me.

- The new series doesn't look like something I'd like either.

- How Archie just ended and we got **** teased with Forever War several times but it never happened.

Now that's not true at all. Episodes like "Hacking Stockman" or "Identity Crisis" were way better than, say, "Clash of the Turtle Titans" or "Headlock Prime".

[Jester]

Both seasons had good and bad episodes. For every Clash of the Turtle Titans there's a Super Power Struggle.

(Yes, I realize I mentioned both of the Turtle Titan episodes. What?)

[Spitfire]

The Serling episode with the horrid baby turtles is enough but aside from maybe 3 episodes the rest of the season ranges from lackluster to horrid. It actually plays more like a toy ad for toys Playmates was too lazy to make.

I'd say the big problem with that game is that it's completely awful.

The rabbids thing is way overblown I think.

You do realize that episode was a holdover ep from FF season 2, right? They just re-wrote it a little to take place in the present.

BTTS has 3 terrible filler episodes, (Serling ep, the Green Mantle ep, and Superquest), but I quite like the other 10 episodes.

The ep where April puts on a ring that turns her into a demon was awesome.

Overblown, maybe, but those were 3 characters that could have been replaced with someone from the Turtleverse.

Quoted for truth. I guess one of the bigger disappointments for the 2K3 series is that FF season 2 never happened.

Yeah and they chose a horrible one instead of one of the better episodes.

The only awesome one. The whole season is mostly boring. It's majority the turtles just running around the Cyber world and then when they're done with that they contrive some BS reason for Shredder to materialize into the real world so they can fight him there instead. It all felt like rehashing and poor attempts to pander to fans who were all bent they went to the future. At least there they had a chance to do something new with the villains.

[gobo]

Learning that I share this fandom with Cybercubed was pretty devastating.

I guess but would it have mattered? Oh boy, this horrible game has Savanti Romero! That.......doesn't help it at all.
