Awesome. What other forums have you been to?

Speaking of Rocksteady and Bebop, a couple of students walking beside me after coming out of TMNT last night said " maybe Rocksteady and Bebop will be in the sequel, athough they're not cool" I thought that was funny.

As for TMNT fans being weird, well I'm sure some of us are lol, but being a fan of Turtles ain't the slightest bit weird.
Ignorant people view them as a kiddie craze, so the older you are, the more weird that this type of person will think you are, but sod their opinion, if someone can't accept my TMNT fandom, well that's their problem.
The Turtles have been apart of my life for so long now that their almost like a long time friend, and a really great one at that.

Question: Are we weird?
Answer: Yes. Yes we are.

Well, not WEIRD weird, but that really nice weird. We are true fans, and our exploits in life are fun to look at. Nearly every turtle fan I have met has been nice, took things with good humor, excepting to the abnormal, and just generally good people, if not, kind of childish. Then again, to a "normal" person who is caught up in one of our Ninja Turtle rants, we are as weird as the come

When I've been telling some people I'm going to see the tmnt movie, they give me the weirdest look and say.."but..it's a cartoon! for kids!" It's funny and seems as if they put it on the same level as if I were going to see a new Sesame Street or Barney movie.
Also, one of the buddies I went with's coworkers gave him flak for going to see a "kids" movie.
I admit I'm a little weird, but only in the sense that I'm different than most other people...I feel out of place in a sports bar but comfortable at a comic book convention....

I`m maybe a little "weird" person, but I don`t find weird loving TMNT. And you know what people, screw everybody who don`t understand us!

*VaughnMichael* · 03-25-2007, 06:31 PM

yep weirdos the whole lot of you...so says sam the eagle!

Leonardo_ · 03-25-2007, 06:32 PM

Whohoo, I got my turtles-mousepad today. I purchased it by ebay.
I only showed it my mother, because my dad would make stupid comments, so I stopped showing him my turtles-stuff.

I am sure he would think that I am weird...

yeah my father always though me collecting ninja turtle figures mint in the box's was stupid untill now when he sees how much money I'm making off them on ebay.
He was like damn I wish I'd have bought some of those now!

I respect the TMNT as being interesting characters and the TMNT universe in general is worthy of fandom, but I mainly adore them because every day that I'm not in the early 90's a growing darkness takes more and more of my soul away, and bathing in thoughts of the Turtles helps to remind me of better days and keeps me from giving into that final solution. I cant be alone on this!

**Jo Dawn** · 03-26-2007, 09:45 AM

Everybody's weird.

We're just weird together. And (for the most part) we're a NICE weird, so I'm proud to call myself a weirdo!! Who better to be weird about than an honor-bound, loving family?

(This, of course, is completely different than being a PSYCHO-WEIRD. We don't need that.)

Yup.

"Weird" just means your interests and priorities fall outside those of, say, 60% of the general population. Many of the things I spend my time doing --- TMNT, D&D, martial arts, read philosophy, study psychology, listen to alt-rock, etc --- would also be classified as "weird". I'm fine with that. I never pretended to be "normal".

By the way, the polite term is "eccentric".

*iris* · 03-26-2007, 10:28 AM

Everyone IS weird. I wear my TMNT t-shirt once in a while, and most people think it's cute, even at work (I wear it under a dressy blazer). But then when I wear it to the TMNT movie, a 30-something guy, who's the one who organized the group going to the movie (all his idea), sees my shirt and suddenly decides, "oh, that's way too geeky." Rather rude, now that I think about it. Not to mention hypocritical. I can tell he really likes TMNT and probably would have liked to talk about the movie, which he liked, but apparently he had to save face. Can't have too much fun, see, makes you weird.

He did invite me to a game of pool after, but nah... too late, dude.

I agree people just need to let go and stop caring what the rest of the world thinks of them. It'd be a much better place.

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-26-2007, 03:46 PM

Exactly! When I would talk about TMNT at school two years ago, I was ridiculed and laughed at. Now the people who teased me are hyped about the movie simply cuz it's "cool" IMO.

Nothing wrong with being weird, as long at it:

A) Makes you happy

B) It isn't hurting anybody

This reminds of a bumper sticker I saw a long time ago:

"You laugh because i'm different. I laugh because you're all the same." lol always loved that quote.

Damn proud to be a TMNT fan

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-27-2007, 05:47 AM

Hey I saw someone wearing a t shirt with that quote recently.
