i have to admire the producers for attempting to try something new with new characters, and a totally different approach...however, and thats a big however, Rocksteady,Bebop,Krang,the Technodrome and maybe some of our secondary characters from the old series, such as Leatherhead,the Rat King and Slash, etc, will make some cameo appearance.

it'll be a shame if they dont, in a retro sense,

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 01:25 PM

Actually they are not doing really nothing new, they will make it more like original TMNT. The first cartoon didn't even try to do that.

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 01:28 PM

no, they wont.

listen. the new tmnt animated series is based VERY STRONGLY on the original black and white indie Mirage tmnt comic book series of the mid-80's. why? because that's how Laird wanted it and he wants to keep the various tmnt media as close to the 'real' characters as possible.... although compromises are made (such as with Mike's character).

Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, and the Technodrome will NOT be in the show at all. Neither will Slash (they categorically stated the four TMNT will be the only mutant turtles in the entire series).

However, since the Rat King and Leatherhead were originally Mirage characters, they MIGHT (and probably will) be in the show.

Just dont expect a rehash of the old cartoon. its dead and gone.

I was reading the overview, i saw it before but never bothered to read it. The Vehicles sound cool, the toys should be even better, ut i will mi ss the Turtle Van though.

But Shredder as a buisnessman sounds stupid he was never one to begin with. It sounds like a rip of Kingpin from Spider-Man.

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 01:31 PM

Yeah it's time to move on, and i hope they will do it right this time. The original cartoon had it's moments, but This cartoon has potential to be a great one. Lets' hope for the best.

Actually he was. On a much smaler scale tough. He ran a "protective business".

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 01:40 PM

in the palladium TMNT rpg, they describe Saki's 'business' career in more detail.....

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 01:43 PM

Maybe I should look in to that someday...

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 01:47 PM

it gives you many interesting insights into the characters, with profiles on the TMNT, April, Casey, Splinter, Shredder, the Foot, Baxter, and a typical TCRI alien.

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 01:48 PM

I will try to find a copy somewhere. Could be intresting.

I like Shredder being a buisiness man. It could playout kind of like Daredevil (or Spider-man) and the Kingpin or the Gargoyles and Xanatos. It'd also give the writers a good excuse to keep death out of the story line because Saki'd be too well protected and there wouldn't be much face-to-face fighting between the Turtles and Shredder.

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 03:14 PM

yeah, you're probably right about that one. The turtles probably end up fighting Hun a lot more than Saki.

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 03:32 PM

That will most probably be the case. Maybe there will be some big fight at the end of a season.

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 03:40 PM

wouldnt it be funny if issue 1 happened at the end of the season??!!

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 03:43 PM

It could happen. They wouldn't even have to show his death. The comic doesn't.

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 03:50 PM

yeah, well, we'll see.......

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 03:57 PM

There needs to be some kind of season Finale, That would do the job. Well we can always speculate, but it's still pretty far away..

*heretic888* · 11-26-2002, 04:03 PM

maybe splinter or karai comes in and offs the shredder?

**Karpo_007** · 11-26-2002, 04:07 PM

We can always hope...
