If TMNT never existed, what would be your #1 fandom? - Page 2

Green Machine · 07-02-2014, 08:48 AM

Transformers, although the direction of the franchise has dissappointed me in recent years. Transformers has always been my 1A hobby with TMNT at 1B.

~~ABrown~~ · 07-02-2014, 09:16 AM

Transformers, no question about it. As it is now, Transformers might be my first passion. I was a Transformers fan before I'd ever even heard of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've always kind of gone back and forth. It was Transformers in the 80's, then TMNT for the most part during the 90's. In the late 90's with Beast Wars/Machines it was Transformers. Then when the 4Kids TMNT series was running, it was TMNT. Finally, with Transformers: Prime it was Transformers.

I've actually thought a lot about this. I think I'm with Powder, and would say Nintendo as a whole, though I'd lean on Zelda a bit.

I'm also a huge fan of Classic Disney animation (Mickey, Donald and Goofy toons) and Warner Bros cartoons. Actually, now that I type that... Animaniacs would probably rival Nintendo as my franchise of choice.

*Slade* · 07-02-2014, 09:59 AM

The turtles aren't my number 1 to begin with. Superman is.

*Metalwolf* · 07-02-2014, 12:28 PM

It would be Transformers, especially G1 Transformers. I tried watching the Energon trilogy, but I couldn't get into it. I do like the movies, but I hate the Revenge of the Fallen one. Too much sexual humor and Megan Fox trying to look 'hawt.'

I'd also add Star Wars and some Zelda, as the old Zelda cartoon is more my main Zelda then most of the games, as the only games that 'count' for me are A Link between Worlds and the first two Zeldas.

I don't know yet about the new Zelda game, since that won't come out until 2015.

*plastroncafe* · 07-02-2014, 12:32 PM

If I hadn't started reading Turtles I never would have gotten into comics, so probably, DC's Animated Universe, Harry Potter and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-02-2014, 12:36 PM

Lucky for us God gave us Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. In some alternate Earth where they do not exist? Batman. I love the original Robin and Batgirl and the mysteries, and villains. Such a great supporting cast especially classic Batman. I am actually on a Batman forum as I am on here. I was a longtime member on DC Comic's official website message board and now a regular at its successor which you will see in my signature. I am active in both fandoms though I prefer TMNT by far.

CowabungaMikey · 07-02-2014, 12:46 PM

My #1 fandom is The Lion King, since I was only 3 years old. TMNT is a close second one though.

Ashangelo · 07-02-2014, 01:00 PM

More than likely it would be Spider-Man.

tmntpower1988 · 07-02-2014, 01:05 PM

TMNT will always be #1 to me but if it didn't exist my favorite would probably be Dragonball Z, Power Rangers or Batman. It's hard to choose.

Also a fandom of mine

PizzaPower1985 · 07-02-2014, 01:31 PM

For me... I have no favorite fandom. I like a lot of comic characters from DC and Marvel. Batman was what got me into anything and everything superhero related but I treat all my fandoms more or less the same. I get into moods where I'll pay attention to one for months at a time and move on and come back to it later and move on again to another one.

So superheroes/comics characters are my fandom, IF TMNT didn't exist I would have others.

Leofan26 · 07-02-2014, 01:40 PM

TMNT isn't the only fandom I'm apart of at this moment, I'm also apart of Avatar the last Airbender / Legend of Korra fandom. Once upon a time Harry Potter was my number 1, I just loved the books and films when they were being released. I've also been along time fan of Pokemon since Kanto, though my intrest in the series has died down a little since the BW series. I'm also along time Batman fan and Spder Man fan. Used to be apart of The Simpsons fandom but the newer seasons just suck in my opinion, meh.

P.S

Also long time Scooby Doo fan.

arkangel · 07-02-2014, 01:54 PM

Star Wars since it came to the theatre in 1977. That's been the only constant fandom for me and I still collect it 37 years later. I've also been an avid lifelong table top RPG fanatic (D&D from 1st ed up until and not including 4th ed, Villains and Vigilantes, TMNT and other Strangeness, Cyberpunk,Top Secret, Twilight 2000, SW by West End Games, SW Saga Edition)

My second favorite has changed throughout the years...

Spiderman and Batman from a very young age. I once had all of the Amazing Spiderman comics as far back as issue 57 with a dozen or so earlier ones and a ton of Detective comics (all of which I sold in my early 20s)
and still have a set of Hardee's Super-series Glass Cups from 1977. (Batman,Superman,Batgirl,Supergirl,Wonderwoman,Fla sh,Aquaman,Green Lantern)
TMNT - from 84 till around 89 when I graduated high school.
Then mostly SW for the majority of my adult life until only a few years ago when Nickleodeon bought the franchise and the IDW series was starting. I had a huge nostalgic awakening remembering how much I loved those early TMNT years and the cool dark and gritty atmosphere of the original comic series which led to a renewed passion for the franchise, comic collecting and now a bit of customizing and dioramas which I've just recently been enjoying.

*IndigoErth* · 07-02-2014, 02:16 PM

Never existed? Watch your mouth, blasphemer!

I'm a bit of a WoW player (love me some Blood Elf guys) so largely just that.

Edit:

Spoiler:

*Vicky82* · 07-02-2014, 02:35 PM

Well Gargoyles has always been no 1 in my fandom, with TMNT no 2 but as Disney are a bunch of idiots and don't give us what we want (like a new tv series, continuation of the comic and a movie) TMNT at the moment is no 1 but if TMNT never existed I think it be X-Men or Transformers at no 1

I've always wanted to try and get into Batman comics but I don't have the money or the time to do so. The fact that DC constantly reboots their series doesn't help.

What I like about TMNT is there's only been one major reboot in the comics, and Mirage had a healthy run.

Midnight Mutant · 07-02-2014, 03:39 PM

Zelda. It is kind of my #1 fandom actually. xD

dindin · 07-02-2014, 04:05 PM

Marvel and Batman, actually those are probably equal with Turtles for me right now.
