What do you mean David Wise isn't the writer? He wrote all the Season 9 episodes.

Ok, I actually liked Raphs smartass mouth, Im glad he was funny, I just couldnt stand the stupid jokes he would tell (on that episode where the comedians got kidnapped).
April was a douchbag, and she never retained the same figure, well, none of the turtles did. They also had WAY to many flaws in the animation...I could understand 1 or 2....but when half of the series is filled with bandanna switches and overlapped animation, then I think they need to slow down a bit.

Shredder was funny, but he is not supposed to be. He is an evil mastermind, how did he even become head of the foot? He fails to often!

Bebop and Rocksteady were my fav characters...but I NEVER want to see them again....

And what the hell ever happend to Slash...and why couldnt he just be "The ultimate badass" He had potential....

Urma...GET A EFFING LIFE!

Ok im going to stop now, im starting to sound like a counseler....

No he didn't. Il check the writer now, wait a sec.

**Karpo_007** · 01-12-2003, 12:50 PM

There.

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 01-12-2003, 06:53 PM

Wow, I can't believe it!

I really thought David Wise wrote that episode. I wonder how many episodes he did write for that season then? And all this time I thought Dregg was David Wise's idea . . .

"This is my planet, and you aren't taking it anywhere!" - Donatello, from "Night of the Dark Turtle"

**Karpo_007** · 01-13-2003, 02:27 AM

Wel I cheked the few nex eps too it says:"story by Mark Edends written by David Wise" So Im guessing he wrote the rest of them, But it seems that this Edens invented Dregg...

*R-iZZy* · 01-13-2003, 08:08 AM

research well done.

*Sage Ninja* · 03-12-2008, 01:48 AM

you know what annoyed me about the old toon, when ever an episode looked like they where going into something actually good or exciting but instead of making that the focus of the episode we would just get teased of it happening and then (which would have made for a better story) and the whole episode would involve Shredder trying to execute the plan and the turtles would stop him, leaving the episode kind of hollow.

When the turtles started to mutate out of control in Red Sky and they couldn't fight a battle any more unless they super mutated.

The fact that April never learned how to fight in the old toon

I think she had potencial).

that the show didn't go into the bacl stories of characters, like the bitter rivarly that caused Saki and Yoshi to hate each other, how Shredder and Krang met, what Krang's rein was like before he was banished from demision X.

The fact that during the last seasons April was sort of phased out and replaced by Carter.

The fact the season seven wasn't longer.

That the Rat King wasn't used more.

Yeah I agree with you on this, but its 80s animation, errors are common. There is another error when Michaelangelo is driving the Turtle Van in "A Thing About Rats." Donatello is the one talking and you see his mouth move, then Michaelangelo starts speaking with Donatello's voice.

*Shark_Blade* · 03-12-2008, 10:34 PM

Mikey's nunchucks got replaced with a grappling hook. I mean WTF??

These soccer moms and spoiling dads are driving me nuts. They think the weapons are too dangerous to even displayed on cartoons, bah. Then Batman cartoons and others displaying villains with guns should be banned too which is completely irrational. The kids are not dumb, I mean I can think for myself when I was young

*Revan* · 03-12-2008, 11:55 PM

Don't get me started on the hook. It is one issue I have strong feelings about (for some reason). Definately my biggest gripe with the kiddyfication of the franchise

I remember reading somewhere that after a while the animators couldn't tell one turtle from another. Whan English isn't you're first language, screwing up character lines in animation is natural. Especially, since the Japanese were not accustomed to animating a sound track. You see, they tend to work backwards, and record everything near the end.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Brits pressured them into doing that. But this brings up what bugs me, they only used their weopons to cut ropes and pizzas. Maybe fighting robots, which can't feel pain and don't "die." That's pretty much all they did. how can parents even complain about violence when it really isn't there?

*Scandia* · 03-13-2008, 11:51 AM

- That they changed Splinter's origin. They could have had the same Hamato Yoshi betrayal story- and have Yoshi take his rat to America, live with him, and eventually just pass away of sadness and a broken heart due to having been shunned. This would make the universes more reconciliable with each other.

- Otherwise, mainly the fact that they stopped showing it where I lived.

*Coola Yagami* · 03-13-2008, 12:12 PM

Having Hamato Yoshi pass away in any way, shape or form would have still been too dark for the show back then, even if it was just of sadness. I don't think they had much of way to keep both Yoshi and the rat in the story unless they were turned into the same person.

I hated how baxters Computer buddy isn't in the episode landlord of the flies, that episode just seems so out of place to me, it's very inconsistant.
Of course we have a few episodes like that.

*Scandia* · 03-13-2008, 01:46 PM

They showed the ghost of Shibano-sama. It was inside a sarcophagus of some sort. It was obvious that he had lived a long time ago and was now deceased. So it would not have been so horrendously hard to handle. Even having Yoshi catch an infectious disease or have a sudden heart attack may have still been manageable. But changing Splinter's origin makes it very hard to have the stories cross over.

*Revan* · 03-13-2008, 04:49 PM

Baxter was drawn inconsistantly in landlord of the flies too. He was much smaller than previouly. Here I am complaining about the animation in the OT.
