Three Toes - Page 2

*The Stryker* · 07-28-2011, 04:24 PM

It's not an issue at all and it doesn't even require any 'why' questioning. It's a design choice and nothing more.

All of this "I want an explanation" stuff is ridiculous.

I don't mind them having three toes but I hate how they look, urgh.

That's your opinion.....a lot of people think the design choice flat out sucks.

*Whitewolf89* · 08-17-2011, 03:18 PM

Personally, I'M not that fond of the change, either, but, other than when I start drawing them later on, I doubt that I'll be paying THAT much attention to their feet, anyway, prefering to focus on their faces and upper bodies, AND the fact that we're getting a new TMNT series so soon after the 2K3 one ended, instead of having to wait close to 10 years. THAT's the important thing here, in MY (very) humble opinion.

Do I wish that Nick had stuck to their original design of two toes? Goes without saying, as with some other folks around here, but I'm sure that I'll get used to it, and comfortable with it eventually.

Besides, there are other aspects of the new series that I like a LOT less than the guys having three toes on each foot (which remind me of elephant's hooves, to be honest). Splinter being Hamato Yoshi mutated into a rat (ALA the 80's series), and 6 feet tall (too weird for me, when thinking about Splinter's height), rather than his pet rat, like he's been in the comics, movies and the 2K3 series, AND April being the guys' age, rather than an adult, like she should be. So, compared to these, the guys having three toes is nothin'.

IMHO.

And? Going about saying "I want an explanation" is still stupid. It's a choice they made and I doubt there's some giant elaborate story behind it.

*Koi* · 08-17-2011, 07:41 PM

The third toe on each foot are actually mutated turtle heads growing out of their feet.

Explanation complete. No need for thanks! :3

*The Stryker* · 08-17-2011, 07:48 PM

You are just the worst type of person. Let me start a private facebook group and you'll get what's coming to you.

The real answer is that the creators really love sporks and wanted them represented on the show.

*Koi* · 08-17-2011, 08:16 PM

Omg, they do look like freakin sporks. My mind is blown.

*Ninjinister* · 08-18-2011, 03:07 AM

Sporks are amazing. I now completely support the three-toed turtles.

*shakes head* I really sometimes dont get you guys...why that aggressive over nothing...there are much worse things in the world than fictional chars having three toes...

Besides...REAL turtles DO have more toes AND fingers...if you can call it fingers that is...

*Slap-Happy* · 08-18-2011, 12:55 PM

Who the f*ck really cares about a third toe? I mean the new designs look very different from other things we've seen already, the feet would look awkward with two toes.

I've always been a nitpicker, but the third toe was from the start the least of my worries. I like it better, anyway. It goes well with the Nick Turtles. I voted "I like it"...I wonder who the other 4 were? We're certainly in the minority.

If you think I *actually* wanted to murder anyone over a toe, you need to adopt a sense of humor.

Well, obviously people care - all you have to do is read the forums to see that. I don't see how having 2 toes would look awkward with Nick's designs...? Because their legs are thick where the "ankle" should be? Obviously they would need to re-design that a bit to make it look right.

Anyway, as most have stated, this isn't a deal breaker for anyone (that I've noticed). But, it's a design that a lot of people don't like, so people will vent about it. Including me.

Well put, indeed, sir.

They're getting a third toe!? That's news to me, I've completely missed this, and I don't like it. Why not give them a fourth finger as well? They've always had two toes, it's part of them, so why change it? This is sort of like shaving Mario's moustache! Well, not really but you get the point!

*Redeemer* · 10-12-2011, 02:49 PM

Truthfully I dont like the three toe design, it jst sticks out to me.....But I think will adjust, jst let me adjust my nostalgia goggles a little!!!!

I think I will eventaully get used to it, the idea and design is jst so foriegn to me

Oh and I voted to be a hater by the way

*BubblyShell22* · 10-12-2011, 03:25 PM

While I'm not keen on the idea, I feel that I'll get used to it the more I watch the show. Like others have said, we need to at least be glad that Nick's even going to give us a Turtles show at all. I say wait and see. Maybe it won't be as bad as many are saying.

I think Nick is giving them a third toe, not only to try something different, but really to make sense of the turtles' mutations. They have three fingers. You would expect they have three toes if you never heard of them. Just like humans, we have five fingers on each hand, and we have five toes on each foot. Therefore, it makes sense why Nick would be giving them three toes. I don't really care about it that much. I'm just paying attention to the leg wrappings each character has. They look cool, by the way.
