favorite part of first movie - Page 2

*KROW* · 06-28-2006, 11:59 PM

Where the hell was this thread? I never even knew it existed.

My favorite scene was the battle at Second Time Around. It was so close to the comic, even though Leonardo was replaced with Raphael.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 07-03-2006, 11:28 AM

I like the the fight with the Foot at the antiques shop, i loved the suspenseful music, with the fire burning, Casey Jones popping out for some action, and Tatsu just standing there with his arms folded, looking cool!

*Sewer Bull* · 07-04-2006, 08:49 AM

I like the scene when Casey calls April "toots". And then he falls down with that bench.

Slapstick = <3

I hated that scene Leonardo turned into such freakin' sap when Raphael woke up! Ugh, I was cringing at that scene.

I hate that scene as well, just thinking about it makes me want to punch something. They made Leo a freaking loser, they screwed him over in the old cartoon too. Whining all the time, acting like a p*ssy.

You can be a leader AND be cool. In fact MOST leaders are cool, what they've made Leo is bossy which is completely different.

You don't even need to talk to be a leader. I think having Leo cut shredder was awesome, having him whine all the time is bad writing and a misunderstanding of the character.

I was watching the movie the other day, and I came to the realization that anyone who likes Leonardo when they were a kid is because he either has swords or he has the blue bandana. There's never been anything cool or respectable that Leo has done other than in the old comics and the new cartoon (which is sometimes iffy).

*KROW* · 07-07-2006, 11:53 PM

So, in other words, having a soft side is wrong for him? I don't understand. It wasn't my favorite scene, nor was it that memorable for me, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it made me cringe or that it misinterpreted his character.

Also, if you're a leader, shouldn't you talk? I mean, you can't be mute and expect your group to follow a certain plan. Not even Blackbolt could do that; he had Medusa talk for him through telepathy. If you're saying Leonardo has leadership qualities through action alone, that hardly holds water. You need more than charisma and style to lead.

**Jo Dawn** · 07-08-2006, 12:46 AM

Hmm, my favorite part? Actually, it's gotta be when Don asks if Casey is claustraphobic and... well... you know.

There's actually alot in it I DON'T like, that I was thinking of when trying to come up with a 'favorite'.

Leo is awesome, i dont know whats up with the turtle haters getting on Leo. Leo is a big part of TMNT, he honors the code of ninjitsu, and is loyal to master splinter. You can tell he is more skillful than the other turtles with the katanas he has. He practices while Don does some formula or Mike watches tv or Raph goes to a movie. You know what I mean. The 4 Turtles make a formula of additudes. Mike- party and funny Don-Intelligent- Raph-easy to anger- Leo-loyal and trustworthy.

Word! There ya go! But that's cool at any time in either movie.

If the poll was still open, the fight with Shredder would have to be my fav part of those given, though.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-08-2006, 10:23 AM

That bathtub scene was actually Leo's best moment in the movie if you ask me.

My favorite scene is probably the campfire scene. Sure the Obi-Wan Splinter thing is kind of lame, but I can look past it, it's just a really nice moment that shows that they really are a family. All of Casey's scenes were funny too.

Damn I need to find this movie on DVD. VHS sucks.

~~BartAllen~~ · 07-08-2006, 10:38 AM

The entire thing, it really was a good movie on a lot of levels. it had serious drama, great comedy, and superb action. Plus the turtles themselves as well as splinter really looked real. I mean. I remember as a kid watching it thinking the turltes were real.

I think that's my favorite part too. Nice thing you notice on coming back to the movie that you wouldn't've gotten as a kid.

No I'm saying he can have a soft side, but why such a wimp? Don't get me wrong Leo's my favorite, which is kinda why I'm probably over sensitive to this, he's always been my favorite, but he was such a whiner back in the day. His voice is cracking up in this high pitch wail during the bathtub scene. I mean he could have calmly said, Raph you're alright, great man lets get you up. No he's like "RAPH YOU'RE OKAY YOURE GONNA BE OKAY (voice crack high pitch)" gets all goofy like.

And well no he doesn't need to talk but it would make story telling almost impossible doing sign language

I'm saying that he doesn't ALWAYS need to talk, actions speak louder than words kind of thing. Instead of arguing with Raph all the time and whining about it later, but I guess it's about growing up so that's fine.

I guess I have more of a beef with his high pitched voice and the cracking, I would think the leader would be more calm and collected. I guess if it's about him learning to be a leader it's different, but as a self proposed leader he's too high strung.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-08-2006, 07:57 PM

He's not a leader in that scene, he's a brother.

That's a good way of looking at it. Still you don't drop all your personality traits even for scenes like that. I would still think he'd be the "leader" and still have the brotherly love scene without becoming such a sissy in the scene.

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 07-09-2006, 01:22 AM

Without a doubt ny favorties secen is the fight with the Shredder. That got pretty intense. I remember every last detail of that scen since I've scene it so many times.

I love it when Shredder says, at the end....."Fools, ha ha ha, the three of you might have overpowered me with the loss of but one, now your fate, will be HIS!"

Well... his brother was on the brink of death and Leonardo felt it was his fault a bit. So he might have been on the verge of emotional breakdown, waiting for Raph to wake up.

True true.

O/T (wolrd cup) I can't believe it came down to a shoot out, I really hate that though, it always seems like a gip to me when it comes down to shoot outs. I won't spoil who won for those of you living under rocks. Sorry to go o/t, but I saw your sig.

*Raven* · 07-09-2006, 05:54 PM

Just one!? Well in that case it would have to be when Raph and Casey first meet, just classic.

Actually, that part bugs me. Because of those stupid marshmallows. Don wouldn't do that. Mikey would. Ugh. So out of character. It ruins the whole part for me, truthfully.

...Plus I always found it kinda corny. Heh.
