Why are we all TMNT fans? - Page 3

The comics and the cartoons are great. Kevin and Peter did a great job bringin' the characters to the comics and the movies. The villains aren't your typical thugs which is good thing. I also the TMNT cuz of the other characters and the acting in the first movie was great. The writing for the new and old comics really makes you wanna read till your done with the comic IMO. The new toon is greater than anticapated. The toys are really worth collecting and the vintage figures made me was one of things that made me a fan. Its just so rad!

Really? TMNT rock hard core man. Who can't like some mutant turtles doing crazy ninja stuff?

*Garou* · 03-13-2005, 03:34 PM

I'm gonna say it: I watched it, when I was younger and I loved the cartoon. When it was canceled, I thought "Oh well, no biggie..."

In the meantime, I grew very fond of Nin Jutsu and was honestly shocked when I saw the ninja turtles again. I think the new one are the best...

There are hundreds of other reasons, which I discovered after watching them for the first time (I'd never seen them on screen, just found a DVD in a store and thought the drawing style was cool. I draw myself), but everyone else has already mentioned them.

I dunno.. I think i've always been obessed with them....

I think it was the fact that they were DIFFERENT, and I always wished that I could be like them, and be part of their family, because it was so much more interesting than my current life.

I love the way they interact with each other.. they're so different from each other, yet they have that closeness... they'd support eahc other no matter what... I think as the younger silbiling who never had a "brother" to grow up with (i only had an evil older sister) I envied them..

Of course, the fact that they knew Ninjistu kicked ass

I really relate to Mikey when I'm exicted or really happy. When I'm angry I relate to Raph. Casey Jones is the character I would most wanna be like cuz I all the equipment but I don't be a vigilante or bounty hunter until I learn to drive. The writin' for most of the Old Toon seasons was creative. I liked on A Thing About Rats how Shredder found Baxter Stockman and how the Turtles had to fight the Mousers. That was so rad!

Why am I a TMNT fan??? I'd like to blaim er thank my parents for that... when I was 6 (waaay back in 1986...didn't know what comics were till 1987 when my mom introduced me to Archie comics

) we were living in Texas. My parents saved a turtle from being run over by cars (it was in the middle of the road). This started my obsession with turtles in general. We kept it for a couple days (while I did some research on turtles in the library...well hey...I was 6 and just loooved to read! ).... I took the turtle to school for show and tell and durring lunch we released him back into the wild.

When the series premiered in 1988 (I was in Germany...everything was slow to air on AFRTS

) I got hooked on it right away cuz it was a show about turtles! I also gained a crush on Donatello...altho my crush on Raphael got bigger and bigger till it became the obsession it is today.

Donatello is still cute IMO but Raph is a major hottie....

Everybody in my family are TMNT fans.... My mom's a major Michelangelo fan, my dad's a Leo fan, and my step-dad claims Donatello as his hero.

It's hard to explain why I'm a TMNT fan.
Probably I like the TMNT because of their sense of humor and their personalities. And the fact that they're not humans.

~~BartAllen~~ · 03-24-2005, 01:53 PM

I wasnt the biggest fan of the show after a while. it changed. i think after the second season. but then i was introduced to the mirage comic. and wow. i fell in love. so my main liking of turtles comes from the comicbook.

Err...don't bash the original series in any way, it's against the rules.

And it was FAR from "dumb" after Season Two

~~BartAllen~~ · 03-24-2005, 02:14 PM

Oh its against the rules? alright sorry. i just thats the way i felt. but cool. i wont post bad about the original show anymore. and as far as it being dumb after season two.. thats just my opinion. not to be rude dude. but youve kind of been trying to bait me into an arguement and its not going to happen. so yeah.. please leave me alone.. sheesh.

Since when was reminding you of the rules "baiting" an argument?

Peanut · 03-24-2005, 03:54 PM

Well...this was reported, but I don't really see any kind of major problem here. Yes, old series bashing is against the rules, but opinions about it aren't. Just don't go on a hate spree, and Zarius...don't bait him...or whatever...not that you did do it, but it got reported so I have to say something.
