My favorite thing of the TMNT universe is undoubtedly the cartoon. That's the thing that I was exposed to first, and first impresssions really do make a difference!

I like the goofball humor and sharp writing of the cartoon show. I loved the theme song. I liked all the references to pizza, I loved all the different characters. I liked pretty much everything about the cartoon.

Maybe this is why I don't really care for much else in the TMNT universe. It's not the cartoon. The movie versions of the TMNT are a good example. When I heard about the first movie coming out, I was like, "Oooh, I wonder how they'll make Bebop and Rocksteady? And Krang? And the Technodrome? I wonder what Dimension X will look like?" And then when the movie came out, and it was NOTHING like the cartoon, I was like, "What?! This isn't the Ninja Turtles!" I was not familiar with the comic book at that time, and I had no idea that there were darker versions of the turtles out there.

I have read a few comics since then, and they just don't work for me. I don't like the bad-ass Ninja Turtles; it just rubs me the wrong way, I guess. I like the good-natured, light-hearted, pizza-loving antics from the cartoon. Perhaps this is why I'm having mixed emotions about the new cartoon that's supposed to come out next year. It's going to be darker than the original series, based loosely on the comic.

I guess I won't really be able to judge it until I see it for myself, though.

Yeah the first thing i saw about the tmnt was the cartoon, that's probably why it's my favorite tmnt universe...i readed some comics and seen the movies and all that stuff, but the universe i like the most is definitely the cartoon

plus it sometimes bring back memories

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 08-17-2002, 10:06 AM

You know what's even more amazing? My favorite movie, out of the three, is the one that everyone in the known universe seems to hate - Ninja Turtles III.

I liked this movie because it reminded me of the cartoon. It wasn't really dark, the jokes weren't as crude, and there was a lot of humor. No matter how many people trash that movie, it will always be my favorite out of the three.

*Nickokapo* · 08-17-2002, 10:14 AM

Oh yeah, after seeing the 3rd movie some more times, i've liked it more now...it's a good movie...but i'll always like the 1st movie best, and then the 2nd movie

**Karpo_007** · 08-17-2002, 10:54 AM

My first TMNT contact was with the cartoon too... Then came archie comics...
But now that im older i really like mirage much more...

*Bowser_Koopa* · 08-18-2002, 08:47 AM

same here, i always wondered why they didn't have pupils in the toys but they had pupil in the cartoon, anyway i usedd to draw them without pupils it was easier and it looked cooler!

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-19-2002, 10:25 AM

I love them all, but mirage was really corrupted by the other artists. I talked to dan berger through email asking why he isn't drawing any of the new tmnt, and he said: (this is just an estimate of what he said, i forgot the EXACT words he said) Peter didn't like having all the different artists doing the mirage comic, so know he's decided to only have Jim Lawson do the new comic.
So yeah i really only like the first 12 issues, from there down i dunno it gets pretty crappy.
That's why i pick the cartoon, the thing i grew up with and turned me on to tmnt. Now I also like the action figures, which could be their own universe, considering all the 1 shot cartoon characters probably were put in there to sell toys. Ex. Muckman, wingnut, and any other toys, i just can't think of right now.
That's just my opinion though, i don't want anyone coming and saying u suck you don't like issue 23 when they discovered the blah blah blah....

**Karpo_007** · 08-19-2002, 10:46 AM

I agree.. some where not as good as others.. But what about Return to New York? And Kevin and peter came back for City at War and i think it's good...

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-19-2002, 10:49 AM

yeah i didn't really like city at war that much, and ur right return to new york is good, but i wish they drew it instead....

**Karpo_007** · 08-19-2002, 10:54 AM

Yeah...

Should i've said "No" instead?

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-19-2002, 11:02 AM

no, if they drew it, think of the possibilities, they could have decided i like drawing again, and drew the rest of the series, image would never have happened, and the new series of today would be drawn by peter too!
Paul

**Karpo_007** · 08-19-2002, 11:05 AM

The current Artist, Jim Lawsson i think, is doing a great job...
And Image happened because TMNT sells dropped after the flop of secnod movie...

yeah and nah are good replies, but yes and no aren't...so no, you shouldn't have said "no" instead...april is better than she-ra =P

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-19-2002, 11:08 AM

yeah but they wouldn't have let someone else draw they're comic, duh
anywho, i dunno i really don't care for Jim Lawson's style, i hate the legs, and ankles most of all, and the humans just suck. Compare peter and kevin's drawings to his....
Bought his covers are ok except for #4 which has his style all over it.

**Karpo_007** · 08-19-2002, 11:12 AM

Of course it's not as good as peter's, but I still like it... Peter is a busy man nowdays i think...

~~PWDESAI~~ · 08-19-2002, 11:13 AM

yeah with what his motorcycle club?
Sure I bet now he is, but not a few monthes ago.

**Karpo_007** · 08-19-2002, 11:15 AM
