Well... if you guys are famalir with Roseangelo and Cherubae, they are infamous for starting up little groupies like this for the fun of it.

I thought it was a cute idea too, since I have yet to remember that I should be spelling Mikey's name without an A. But if word of this idea and how it sounds like an attack on Laird's behalf... I'm also a little worried about that. If he can track down people making illegal copies of his copies.. *nervous laugh*

So that's the point.. it's just another popularity boost for a cute gimmick. If you don't like it, then don't participate. But please do not start flaming up over this. Only Laird has that right.

Laird has the right to flame on this board? Unfair!

Shellfox · 12-17-2002, 10:03 AM

Unless it changes how his name is prenounced on the show I don't care

**Karpo_007** · 12-17-2002, 10:04 AM

The correct spelling will be used in all future TMNT projects.

Err.. no thanks. I agree with MDL, but there's no way I will also agree with FOGU.

FOGU is only worn by wired FoxBox Michelangelo characters who like to hop around on one foot with tongue flailing. *ducks a golden swat*

i have to say the only one with any logic in this argument is karpo. the "a" is insignificant, but if i must pick a side i say it should go. the turtles references to their rennesance artists is futile if you spell it wrong it's like spelling shakespeare as shakespeer or even abe lincoln as abe linkin. it should be historically accurate.

the reason they didn't change it in the 80's is because of continuity reasons. granted mirage, archie, and the cartoon were all different worlds it'd get annoying if the had them spelled differently they were in too deep when they realized the error.

these insane fogu people should be happy that they're favorite turtle is being characterized correctly for this new show unlike the old toon, rather than focus on a miniscule name change.

MICHELANGELO is right, deal with it

Well, i dunno. I have some worrisome doubts about that. He is definitely MORE accurate than the old toon Mike...... but im afraid they will be willing to sacrifice some of his character to make a 'comedy scapegoat'. He was described as 'toned-down party guy' and NOT as 'laid-back, fun-loving artist guy'. I really hope that make his character as much like the Mirage Mike as possible......

**Karpo_007** · 12-17-2002, 02:14 PM

I hope so too. Mike seems to be only character that differ noticably from his mirage counterpart.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 12-17-2002, 02:16 PM

THANK YOU DONATELLO, That was the point I was trying to make...

Also, they changed his character a little bit because it is a new series, NOT BECAUSE THEY CHANGED HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!!

**Karpo_007** · 12-17-2002, 02:23 PM

Of course not. They just need one TMNT to be comical, and Mike happens to be the most suitable for the role. I hope they wont go over board with it.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 12-17-2002, 02:30 PM

I wasn't telling YOU that Karpo, I was getting my point across to these people who created this...You were pretty sensible about this for the most part...

**Karpo_007** · 12-17-2002, 02:33 PM

Well I dont think that he ment it that way either...

Most people have luckily understood that it doesn't affect anything.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 12-17-2002, 02:36 PM

Well, I don't know how to do that quote thingy, so here is what he/she said...

Ya know, now that I think about it, it does feel like the name change has created a whole new character. At least to me anyway. A "death" to Michaelangelo and then a rebirth of Michelangelo. Guess I'll see how this new infant hold out in the Turtle world.

Sounds like he/she thinks that because they changed the name, the character also changed...

**HorseTechie** · 12-17-2002, 02:47 PM

*begins to count the many times people still spell it as Michaelangelo here*

That's my point. I don't care about how the official changed spelling is right or wrong. It's just that old habits are really hard to break... so many of us use this as an excuse to not break that old habit.
