Time does not need to spent every week just so we can see Splinter doing absolutely nothing to contribute to a specific episode. Do we really need to see him training the turtles or telling them to be careful? All that does it just fill time.

True, but what is the point of getting rid of him? There were also some excellent episodes (when the writers would actually consider him) that Splinter was central to.

Ah well, according to W.G. they start recording this month-- maybe more stuff will leak out soon.

As you can probably tell, this is a subject that frustrates me very much, especially since you can get some jerks that will find that garbage in everything that comes out of your mouth.

I guess having friends that keep their humor pretty clean helps my mind stay... "virgin," as you put it.

That and when I watch Turtles, a cartoon slotted for kids, sex is probably the furthest thing from my mind (the fact that animation analysis is at the forefront probably blocks any attempt for it to sneak up, heh). Though the more Freudian stuff will creep back in upon analysis... such as Raph's possible "short sword" syndrome.

So yeah, sorry about that. Probably shouldn't post when I'm in one of my rare sarcastic moods.

It's all right now. I forgive you.

We do need to see Splinter redeem his kick ass qualities though in this new season. All he fought in FF was Jammerhead. I like seeing a few episodes (not the whole season obviously) where Splinter joins in on the action and kicks some butt, even if it's the TMNT's butts during training

More new stuff ......

http://the-5th-turtle.blogspot.com/2...neak-peek.html

Here's the Cyber Foot (working name) action figure design as intended for part of Playmates Toys' fall 2008 line, based on a description of how the character may (should) look in the 2K8 cartoon season. Doesn't seem to be any way to get away from unrealistically thin body types these days, does there (he asks as he munches away on salt and vinegar potato chips)?

Yeah. I mean, Splinter just became a garden variety elderly person stereotype (a Grandma, at that) in some of those episodes. Other than marketing reasons, there was no reason to even take him into the future. Other than a couple episodes, he really didn't do anything but make snarky comments (like another couple of old people stereotypes).

Very disappointing, since Splinter kicked total anus in the 2k3 series, but still kept a sly sense of humor.

BTW, another blog post popped up...

Uh... yeah. I'm not even touching that.

Edit: Apparently they're not even really going to wear that in the show.

Wait, does that indicate the turtles wont have pupils in the new season?

That is just one of the Toy designs and not a reflection of what will be seen on the new show.

A new TMNT season could offer some of the followings: more fighting (including Splinter), more explosions, more vehicles and probably a new or improved lair. Think about the episode "Journal" from FF. It may be false, but it may be a hint for the next season, right?

Very true. After all, didn't practically all of the '80s figures have white eyes, in spite of their having very obvious pupils in the show itself?

I thought the primary design suggested they will. Kinda stupid, since they're trying to cut down on animation costs.

And what better way to disguise this fact than by adding something to the animated characters that doesn't actually cost much to animate?

Plus, they're trying to make the characters resemble the movie characters more. And leaving the eyes out wouldn't save them nearly as much money as their new simple style will.

That Cyber Foot design looks cool. Could it be an upgrade to the Foot Techs or something totally new?

*Drtooth* · 01-23-2008, 09:01 AM

Looky!!!!

Okay, this just surfaced on the 5th Turtle.... so is this a sign of things to come, or just an action figure? Either way, we finally get the "Utrom SHredder" we've been waiting for.

Of course, now I'm actually psyched about this new series.

creativerealms82 · 01-23-2008, 09:43 AM

I figured he would return sooner or later seeing how the writers did not have the guts to kill him off in season three. Still it may only be a toy.

I like how Utrom Shredder is the "stinger" of the scorpian robot.

I guess it's the trend if you're a disembodied head/brain, you have to use a bug or human exoskeletons.

*Drtooth* · 01-23-2008, 12:56 PM

Though it seems like a hint towards seeing him come up in one form or another. While he may not necissarily show up, there's nothing saying he won't in any shape or form. At this point, unless we get a say so, anything is possible, and everything is speculation at this point. Even that Foot Ninja isn't obligated to appear.

*gobo* · 01-23-2008, 01:42 PM

Was it Wayne Grayson who said that Scottie Ray is indeed voicing for 2K8? I know I read it somewhere. I just dunno the source of that news.

*Scandia* · 01-23-2008, 03:07 PM

I have a theory about that Utrom riding that spider machine.

I think it may be part of a flashback episode showing how Ch'rell invaded the other planets and caused war and devastation. He used that machine as his transport. And they are making a toy out of it because little boys of all ages will find it fascinating- even if it shows up in only one flashback episode.

I do not think that Utrom Shredder will return. At least not Ch'rell. Now Krang on the other hand...
