Should I get the DVDs? - Page 2

*blindturtle02* · 02-07-2015, 06:43 PM

I like the dvds because they split all the two parters up and I enjoy the recaps. But I'm weird that way. If you buy them digitally, you never know how long they'll be available. Seriously, those amazon and iTunes terms of use are interesting if you take the time to read them. I also like having the discs in case my Net goes out for a while.

How do the DVDs look? Really leaning towrds getting them

I don't have an HD TV myself, but just the same, the picture is gorgeous even on my little old-school TV. :tol: I think they're well worth having, but I'm a stickler for owning physical media, so maybe I'm biased. Plus I like having a shelf/draw filled to the brim with TMNT DVD's. Feels great every time I lock eyes with it.

There's not much in the way of extras/special features (some animatics & stuff, though) but a few of them come with posters, which is nice.

All you need to know about Korra is the main character becomes a lesbian by the end of the series. Its notable because its the first cartoon in the U.S. that's aimed at kids/teens to have a "gay" main character. Even though she has a boyfriend for the first two seasons of the show and doesn't turn lesbian till the very tail-end.

I am pretty sure I would "need" to know more than THAT if I were actually going to watch it, guy. You over-simplifying schmuck-o-leptic.

I just know from how often I hear about the show and see articles about it pop up, that TMNT would need a rocket up its metaphorical ass to come close to Korra's popularity and cultural relevance at this point. I like the TMNT franchise but I'm not delusional about it.

Technically, Adventure Time had a lesbian relationship of sorts before Korra. It was only implied, but people behind the show confirmed it.

Well its a sequel to Avatar that came before it. Its a cartoon that looks like an anime about kids with elemental powers who save the world from tyrants.

Both series only have around 60 episodes each so they're short shows. I watched both shows for the first time last year.

These are all things I already know because it's Everywhere.

Kinda like how people who never, ever watched TMNT at least know the gist of it.

Well yep. Both shows are on DVD if you ever want to check them out.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-07-2015, 09:00 PM

Eh. I'm sure they're just fine but for whatever reason they never hooked me. Never know, though. I've gotten into tons of stuff I never planned on. It's not currently on my radar.

Also, only partly up to me, as the wife holds the remote and she is the opposite of interested in both of those shows, for some reason.

Actually, Superman The Animated Series back in the late 90's had Maggie Sawyer, Turpin's police partner, who was heavily implied to be a lesbian. First animated lesbian? I don't know, but since it was discussed in here, it was something small that was implied in the show.
