"Fast Forward" Description Released - Page 2

*Spitfire* · 02-01-2006, 06:50 PM

You guys seem to always forget Laird saying he doesn't want anything from the old show in the new seires. Anything he has currently added are jokes mocking the old show, or refrences. He didn't care for the old show so any hopes of anything from the old show being in the new seires are hopeless. The cloest you will ever get to Krang is "Secert Orgins Part 3"

*TigerClaw* · 02-01-2006, 07:09 PM

If were lucky, Maybe appearances by other mutant characters of the past?

TheShowstoppa · 02-01-2006, 07:50 PM

I don't know why people are complaining so much about this. I don't think it's all that bad of an idea. However, I assume that the same thing that sends the turtles back in time (Paleo series) will be the same thing sending them forward in time.

I'll bet money that after the "Prodgial Son..." episode, Karai will do something to send the turtles back in time. This is where they're going to do battle with Savanti Romero (again) and after they defeat him, or they lose, they will be sent away into their future. The beginning of this Fast Forward thing will be the end of this season, since it's already been said it will take up most of next season. (Kinda like how they did the first 5 eps of season two "Turtles in Space" after leaving the clincher at the end of season 1 them being teleported out of the galaxy.)

I don't know why people are so worried, Laird and the crew are smart people, they know what theyr'e doing. They wouldn't mess up the best elements of TMNT (action, humor, and sci-fi). Besides, this new story arc sounds like it'll be more darker than the previous(maybe it'll blow SAINW out of the water.

*Spitfire* · 02-01-2006, 08:48 PM

In my opinion "I'Monster" already blew "Same As It Never Was" out of the water. Anyways I adgree with ShowStoppa. Anyone read "Masks"? I assume a story arc similar to that will be how the TMNT get zapped into the future.

Stop putting words in his mouth, he DOES care about the original series, it did after all put his and Kevins' franchise on the map, as for the references being exclusive only to the Krang cameo, are you BLIND or something? Gen as Rocksteady was the most recent joke reference, heck Shredder as a Utrom is the most in-denial use of a badass Krang I've ever seen in the show.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Fast Forward catapults Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael 99 years into the future where they emerge from the sewers and no longer have to hid. The year is 2105 and the action heroes sport a whole new look as they face amazing adventures and square off against foes in an exciting world of cutting-edge technology.

4Kids Entertainment will support the series with an extensive licensing and marketing campaign to launch in July 2006 with a new toy line, featuring a full spectrum of toys including action figures and role playing products from master toy licensee Playmates Toys.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Fast Forward promises more fun and exciting journeys from our favorite ninja characters," said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO of 4Kids Entertainment. "The evolution of the Turtles moving out of the sewers and living among humans is a story arc that provides the right combination of intrigue and comedic material to capture a wider television audience and extend the brand. We believe our fresh approach to this successful series will continue to entertain the legions of Turtles fans as well as appeal to new viewers of 4Kids TV."

Thanks, Rat King.

My first impressions:

What, no Splinter?! Or is he just not mentioned because it's just PR?
I don't think that "cutting edge technology" sounds exciting at all. Never have, even when I was "target audience" material (less than 12 years old). But maybe that's just me. I'm a girl.
Living above ground could be fun, although part of the good-guy mystique of the turtles is their willingness to help a society that would reject them.
So, um, are they gonna like, finally get off their lazy ninja butts and get jobs?
A "new look" cook be fun. Play dress up, but please don't mess with their weapons.
Extensive marketing! Hurray? *scratches head*
Good news: it says "story arc" so maybe it will be easy for them to go back, especially if things aren't working out. Bad news: the person who said "story arc" was a business CEO, and business CEOs tend to like using buzz words like "story arc" even if they don't apply them properly.
That last couple lines read like, "this show's a big success, but it's just not commercial enough!" But hopefully that's just because a business CEO said it. I'd really like to see Laird say something about this; I seriously doubt he'd give the same justification for the change.

So basically, we don't know much more than we did before. The way this is written, I don't like it, but that's probably just because it's PR. I'm very fussy about PR. But I think TPTB have been churning out some good stories, so I expect something fun. And I expect Raphael to wear shades and flaunt his skillz like a rock star.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-01-2006, 09:22 PM

They need to change the theme song to "The Power Of Love"

Then have the TMNT discover Splinters' grave in the future

Leo: This is hell

Don: no, this is New York, although I can't imagine hell being much worse

Then they need to find their way back and prevent Karai Shredder get her hands on a sports almanac.

Don't put words in my mouth I said refrences not just the Krang one.

I seriously doubt making Shredder an Utrom was a some kind of sub concious use of Krang in this show. Making Shredder an Utrom was just a way to give him more backstory since in the comics he was killed in the first issue.

Seaon six? I doubt they'll go that far.

*TigerClaw* · 02-02-2006, 03:43 PM

I'm curious about another thing, Since this will be dealing with Time Travel in such a way, I think the world would be affected after the Turtles were teleported thru time, From a scientific standpoint, Anyone who travels into the future via some Time Travel method, They would be declared missing in the present day and thru out the years until the future when they arrived, Therefore, The Turtles would have been missing for 100 years. So they would arrive 100 years into the future and see how the world is like when they been gone for 100 years, Theres no telling what it might look like if the Turtles weren't around to stop the Foot Clan and any other Badguys durring the present time and the years after that. In other words. There might have been a catastrophic event that the Turtles could've prevent have they been in the present times.

*iris* · 02-02-2006, 05:07 PM

TigerClaw, that seems like a probable plot device.

Thanks, Putrescent. Yeah I figured I'll take this "official" description with a few grains of salt.

Based on what, precisely?

*Coola Yagami* · 02-02-2006, 06:25 PM

Uhh no offense, but Gennosuke was already an official Usagi Yojinbo comic character, for all we know, he coulda been created before Rocksteady.

I kinda hope the series doesn't end like this... They better not pull a '90's Spiderman' and just end the last episode with the TMNT jumping into a portal to return to their own time period.

*BigApple3AM* · 02-02-2006, 07:44 PM

I'm probably just in a positive mood today, but I think this has the chance to be really cool. Not season long cool, but story arc cool.

A lot of people's favorite episodes were the same as it never was episodes, this might be sorta similar.

I can't wait for action figures of the future turtles. Give em guns!
