...man, I have to strongly disagree. The new show, to me, has a far better sense of humour than the old one did. Where I can find the new show funny, the old one can't get more than a groan out of me anymore.

It's the oppisite for me, I don't think the new show id funny but I think the old one is hilarious. It always makes me smile.

Well it was a nice idea, but how did the mutagen mutate Shredder's armour? Isn't just just supposed to work on flesh?

MW8979 · 12-08-2003, 07:05 PM

Well, considering he never took off his armour - ever - one could say that it really did become part of his flesh.

He did the most selling in that movie he's done in his whole career. I mean, he actually sold the dock falling on him! His beautiful hair should have saved him!

Yeah, but if Laird was closed to new interpretations, we would have never had all those issues of Mirage vol 1 where different creators were allowed to have a go. I think it's more that the original toon and the next mutation were more blatant lets-cash-in projects, whatever artistic merits they had in the end.

The Turtles would have probably slipped away into the death of pop-culture a long time ago. I'm happy with the new toon, I just feel Laird really needs to lighten up on how he treats people who disagree with him.

From Laird's point of view, he's made a bunch of money off it, so why would it be a bad thing for it to slip away? It's gotta be a pain for him. He's spent the last couple of decades making indie comics (when the easy thing to do would be sell himself to Marvel and write crappy superhero books for eternity or just simply carry on flogging the TMNT horse) and he's always gonna be the TMNT guy. He's gotta be sick to death of hearing of the TMNT and I don't blame the guy.

**Karpo_007** · 12-10-2003, 08:28 AM

No, Laird is definetly not "sick to death of hearing of the TMNT", he is currently doing 2 Mirage TMNT books, and the New cartoon show.

Personally, I think this seems to sum it up best!

As a cartoonist myself, I would love to have my show on TV, and have it be a hit with the masses, but if there's a loss of creative control somewhere along the way, I won't like it!

It would be cool to see Super Shredder in the new TMNT toon.

HELL NO

MW8979 · 12-10-2003, 08:40 PM

Since everyone seems to dislike the idea of Shredder mutating with his armour, then maybe next time Super Shredder appears, due to popular request, he'll just expand without his armour growing with him. I'm sure it'll be a much more pleasant sight.

Savanti Romero · 12-10-2003, 09:02 PM

Wouldn't that be great to see Shredder's extremeties all over the screen!
Either they mutate the armor with Shredder, or just don't mutate him!

*J Legault* · 12-10-2003, 11:02 PM

New Line mutated him to get rid of him in the movie line since alot of parents might of said something like get rid of that Shredder or something.

The Super Shredder is just a mutated version of Shredder nothing too special about his final form.

he didn't really last long.

The Shredder in the new series is so far not mutated.

I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
