Jarrah, is that you again?
It's got to be. Look at all of his posts.

I thought Venus was annoying with saying stuff like your home is from the toylet, I thought Venus was both annoying and cool.

I just didn't like the acting of the villians and it wasn't the same without shredder. It just did not live up to both animated series. BUT THE SERIES WAS OK, bUT I DON"T KNOW WHY THE SERIES ONLY LASTED 9 months. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE WAS THE NEVER SAID WHETHER IT (THE NEXT MUTATION) was in its own universe or continued from the movies and had no april.

I see it as being it's own universe. It had some simularities to the movie universe but I don't see it as being connected.

Or maybe it was because they did that crossover with the Power Rangers?

I think that's a bit harsh, ZariusTwo , It wasn't "crap" as you put it; it was just not as good as it could have been. It should have been made as a continuation from the movies (that means original uniforms instead of their tacky pro-wrestler appearence, Super-Shredder, Mikey with nunchaku, more seriousness and less sillyness).

I remember when the show came on I was super excited about it, I hadn't heard about TMNT coming back and just flipped a channel to it... I kept TRYING to give it a chance, and even tried to watch it 'just because it was turtles' but no... it was just bad.

I don't think Venus was the whole problem. She had the potential to be interesting--but I agree, not as a central character. Someone as frequent as April or less, NOT as a set with the guys. They also made her too stupid. She could have been an interesting character but...she was just too dumb, too many 'can't speak english right' jokes that just got annoying. I thought the mysticism twist was interesting though.

I think the main problem with TNM was HORRIBLY HORRIBLY BAD SCRIPTS. On top of bad costuming (but TV shows have lower budget than movies so it's at least excusable), poor acting (I can't remember the guy's voices/personalities much...but dragonlord or whoever just made me CRINGE EVERY TIME), etc. Yeah. Very bad scripts...ew. Just a whole lot of poor choices rolled into one.

And I remember their bandanas were all torn up...why? o.o

(But I still think the theme song is catchy... can't beat the original by a longshot, but I still sing it ^_^ )

I totally agree with what you said, Zelda.

On a side note, if that's you in your avatar, I gotta say, you're quite cute .

I find it quite amusing that people think I am Jarrah White in disguise!

However, that is not the case. Matthew 138, why do you think that, because of my posts, I must be Jarrah? I know I started up a thread asking why he got banned, but that was just out of curiosity. I said I didn't like The Next Mutation, but that Venus wasn't the problem. As I'm sure we all know, Jarrah LOVED everything about Next Mutation!

I guess it is kind of coincidental that I arrive as soon as he's kicked out...but there you go.

By the way, I plan to ask, in the comics forum, "Would you have liked Image had the TMNT not been disfigured?". I know Jarrah loved Image, and so did I, but this is just a coincidence!

By the way, Zaurius Two, you have quoted me as saying "Why did Next Mutation only last nine months?", or something like that. I'm afraid it wasn't me who said that...

People have come back before and pretended to be someone new. Nobody wants another incident like that to happen again.

What I meant, Matthew, is what is it about my posts that made you suggest I was Jarrah?

Seriously, I am not Jarrah! At first I was amused, but now it is frustrating. How can I prove myself?

I appologize on behalf of those who are teasing you MC. Some members are less behaved than others. Please, enjoy yourself here in the Technodrome . Oh, and it's probably a good idea to drop off an intro in the Introduction forum.

^_^

Come on, you arrive at the same time he gets banned, you ask about why he got banned and say that you found his fights with Zarius very amusing. You also start topics about stuff Jarrah liked (just writing you didn't like the plots isn't really proof, you know). So you've been lurking these forums for months or what? Either you are Jarrah or you are a Jarrah fanboy.

You dont have to prove anything its obvious that if Krang was going to ban Jarrah it would be a IP ban therefore Jarrah couldnt even see the board. The mods and the admins can see your IP and know that your's and Jarrah's dont match. Its painfully obvious that you are not him but like Ryo said some people cant drop the fact that hes gone and LEAVE HIM ALONE.
So from me Welcome to the forums, happy to see and hopefully get to know another turtles fan, if you want anything ask me I make a varity of things.
Back on topic!
Even though I dont like this show I would find it intresting if they released it on DVD. I wouldnt buy it but I would like to see how it would sell to todays youth. I bet a bunch of kids would buy it and either be dissappointed or think its the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Let's not jump to assumptions. Assuming makes an ass out of anyone. You make some good points but you can't start pointing your finger like that. Please, show a little respect.
