It's amazing the OT got away with some things - Page 2

Or what about in Enter: The Fly when Krang outright tries to kill Stockman? Man, it really sucks to be Baxter.

Or the times that Shredder and the Turtles practically killed or banished Baxter to an alternate dimension with nary a care. Man...made Baxter very pitiable.

Like his final appearance in season seven, when he's moments away from turning himself back into a human (and even says as much out loud) before the Turtles tackle him and push him back through the portal?

Yeah, that never sat well with me. Honestly, I wonder why no one complained about that before the script was approved.

Come on, guys ... be nice.

Anyways! How exactly does a villain trying to kill someone qualify as "pushing the envelope" socially? I mean, isn't that, like, what they do in every cartoon? (It even happens on "Gumby"!)

Type 97 Chi-ha · 06-30-2012, 07:26 PM

Or in "The Great Boldini":

The Rat King enters the museum basement and meets the gangsters. "I am the Rat King!"

A gangster picks up one of the rats and asks, "And which one of thse little beauties is the Rat Queen, bandage-face?"

**Jester** · 06-30-2012, 07:46 PM

Um....yeah. I can't believe they got away with that!

Wait...wha?

Implied bestiality/light-hearted, throw-away word play.

No it bloody isnt. The sub in that one wasnt damaged much in that episode, other than having it's energy drained, and it's sole captive was April, who didnt wear a skirt

I think you guys are giving the OT a little too much credit for being progressive or boundary-pushing or something. I love that cartoon but it was pretty tame. I mean how many times did Leo or the Shredder actually harm someone with the sharp metal blades they walked around with?

Not that there were necessarily many opportunities for the cartoon to push many boundaries - it was a kid's cartoon after all.

*CyberCubed* · 07-01-2012, 10:33 AM

Being violent isn't what we're talking about.

We're talking about the hidden depth of the humor that only adults would understand or the subtle social commentary of 80's life.

I'm still wondering about the prostitute joke as well.

In that Monkeys in the Jungle ep, there's a shot of Vernon wish his camera and it's pointed at April's bust the entire time. lol

Anywho, I made this post a long time ago, but I have no idea HOW this got past the censors! It's from that awful MACC episode.

Very very very suggestive (imo)....but I guess it doesn't really fit the theme of this thread.

The part after Irma and Donny gets off of the train. Remember, Irma is "Ms. Donna Tello" or whatever. She was asking Donny what she was supposed to do next. Donny told her to wait for someone to pick her up. Then Irma said that she wasn't that kind of a girl (like a prostitute).

This is why, going back to the series, I'm liking Donny so much.

Anyway, speaking of those two, in Donatello's Degree, I found these a bit suggestive.

This is when Donny first asked Irma to help him.

Irma: Donatello?
Donatello: Irma, I must talk to you!
Irma: Hey, drop in anytime! (It's the way she said it).

This is the part after they got off the train.

Irma: So, now what do I do?
Donny: You wait for someone to pick you up.
Irma: I'm not that kind of a girl!

That seems very suggestive, on Irma's part.

I still say the writers liked pairing those two up. Like for Donatello's Degree, how come Donny didn't think to ask April! lol

You wanna talk about racy moments, how about we discuss Burne Thompson with his trampy girlfriend who was probably young enough to be his daughter?

Um, please don't murder me in my sleep for saying this, but I always wondered how this show pulled off Krang and Shredder's "relationship" without anyone raising an eyebrow.

I mean, it is sort of obvious....
