Except maybe the two who fell down of a building in Shredder strikes part 1. It's still pretty impressive what they can do with a show that has rating of 7.

About the deleted scenes, I know only what I have learned from interviews, Judith Hoag said that the movie lost lots of it's soul due to editing, and I remember reading that some battle scenes got edited to. Nothing specific I can remember tough.

OK, well maybe the new movie won't be overedited.
I wonder if there's a director's cut of the first movie out there somewhere.

Peter Laird has a tape that has some of the cut footage, but that's about it. Whether or not we ever get to see that.. who knows.

Chances for a driector's cut seem pretty small... But let's hope it will happen someday.

First Movie
Good: The costumes were well-done.
Bad: I'll never forget how disappointed I was when I first watched this movie. I thought it was going to be based off the original cartoon. Yeesh, that most certainly did not happen.

Second Movie
Good: The part at the beginning of the movie where Donatello beats the heck out of that ski-masked mugger with a foam bat was absolutely hilarious.
Bad: Vanilla Ice; need I say more? "Ninja . . . Ninja Rap!" Don't even get me started.

Third Movie
Good: Everything. I liked this film. Too bad there's only about seven of us in the entire universe who think the same way.
Bad: Casey Jones was wasted in this movie. He could have been used more.

Original Cartoon
Good: Everything.
Bad: Getting rid of all the things that made the show a success and replacing them with Dregg and Company.

New Cartoon
Good: For some reason, the wide-screen thing the animators do all the time really clicks with me.
Bad: The Turtles without eyeballs. Somebody, for the love of God, fix that. Please.

Coming Out of Their Shells
Good: The music. It should have won a Grammy Award.
Bad: The two videos and the actual concert. I love those green guys, but even I have to admit those videos are garbage. Not to mention the concert.

The Next Mutation
Good: While it was on, it forced me to watch.
Bad: Shredder, the Foot Clan, the costumes; a.k.a. just about everything. I give the show an "A" for effort, but a "D" in execution.

"Hey, boss. This is me callin'. Bebop."
"Really? And all the time, I thought it was Santa Claus!"

Bebop and Shredder, from "Turtles, Turtles, Everywhere"

I would definately reverse what you said about the Image comics!

Also, I almost forgot just how freaking cool Raph was in that all black suit. I used to get pissed off at the old cartoon for not using it.

I agree with Tetsu about the Image comics.

And maybe I'm just dumb but I just do NOT get what the big deal is about bandana colors. I mean, yeah, they were all red in Mirage..... but then again the original Superman logo was always changing between various combinations of red, yellow, and black (the shape changed in almost every panel too). Just because something is an "original" design doesn't really make it "better" necessarily.... I just don't see the big deal. ((shrug))

I'm just dumb I guess.
