IT WAS WORSE! I only got through about 9 min. So I'd have to agree.

I'd have to say the 2K7 CGI film. I had really high hopes for that, after reading an article about how much of a fan director Kevin Munroe was of the comics and whatnot, it sounded like this movie was going to be a love-letter to all us die-hard fans of the property and was going to be one of the best on-screen depictions of the Turtles we'd ever have. When I first saw the movie, I liked it, but did have a feeling in the back of my mind that it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Upon further viewings, it's a pretty disappointing movie.

There are quite a few that I can think of but I think what bugs me the most is when the powers that be have Raph best Leo in a fight. I just can't ever see that really happening.

The 3 film was a disappointment. I know I posted about this before but Casey wasn't really in the movie.They focused on his ancestor sense the film took place in the past. in the cartoon I was not happy about them adding Carter who I think was useless to say the least.

Avatar Yuffie · 01-14-2013, 08:05 PM

The 2k7 film didn't have a sequel. Karai left me hanging.

EDIT: re-reading this thread I realized TMNT series had almost a curse of having unsatisfying finales.

1. Next Mutation
2. Volume 4
3. Turtle figures in stupid costumes
4. Coming out of our Shell

A proper OT animated movie never being made during the OT's original run.
No cartoon crossover with the Toxic Crusaders.

HaHa I too was hoping for a Toxic Crusaders crossover!!! Although this happened in my room all the time (Thanks Playmates)
I meant TMNT are in NY, TC are in New Jersey!!

My biggest disappointments:

Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers. I don't hate them, but I was let down by both seasons.

The horrid Arabic dub (not the translation of the material, but the acting and casting). Seriously its like they had three VAs do all the voices.

Lack of proper DVD release for 2003 series. I get so confused whenever I try to hunt one of my missing volumes online. (hopefully I will not stay disappointed on this one!)

I don't see any reason to include all dubs, since they aren't original.

RiseAbove873 · 01-15-2013, 12:59 PM

I can't believe I forgot! I hate how Turtles Forever pissed on the OT characters. I can't even watch it again.

It did that to the entire show.

*Icebot* · 01-15-2013, 06:52 PM

A lot of things about the 2003 show: they never sent Serling back to 2105, cancelling Nightmares Recycled, they didn't show the 3 Shredder war, most of all how Turtles Forever had the 80's turtles act.

I was also disappointed how Shredder and Krang were replaced with lord Dregg in the 80's show, I remember how badly I wanted to see Shredder and Krang when season 9 first aired. After a while, I learned to like Dregg as a villain, especially when he met Shredder and Krang in season 10.

jestermon · 01-15-2013, 07:04 PM

Right now it's the fact that no one seems to know where the Ninja Turtle Toys are, the playmates guy I am e-mailing says they are shipping but it's been since Christmas since anything has been set out and he doesn't seem to think it's a problem.

Trying to find the Ooze canisters that apparently only TRU is going to have since they aren't on WM new modular even though they are selling all the ooze vehicles/figures, thinking of how huge of a failure the line will be if stores aside from Toys R Us don't actually sell the Ooze the gimmicks are based on.

I'm talking about with the kids not even because I want the baby turtles, I can see kids going oooh I want the ooze copter and figures then the parent going where's the ooze and the kids not wanting it since that's the hook of the new line.

The whole time the Playmates guy says WM,K-Mart, Target, and TRU will be having the full line any time now.

I am going to say kids are going to give up on the line if they never ship anymore merchandise to retail I think it will be bad for their bottom line personally, but seems to be the plan for them.

Bmaga123 · 01-15-2013, 07:54 PM

Have to go with,

-Next Mutation especially that female turtle Venus.
-The costumes and that god awful splinter puppet from the 3rd live action film.
-Thinking we were getting Bebop and Rocksteady but getting Tocca and Rahzar in the 2nd live action film.

Which dub are you referring to?

I've seen two versions of the OT in Arabic (I'm fluent in Arabic). There is one that I think is excellent and gets the voices pretty accurately (Krang's voice, in particular) and there's another version that sounds awful and makes Krang sound like a 60 year old man with bronchitis. Is that the one you're referring to?

jestermon · 01-15-2013, 08:38 PM

I'm wondering why the guy went searching for some dub of the series in a different language if he didn't speak the language unless he just stumbled on it.

Nothing wrong with it being Arabic or anything just don't stumble on random things like that in the U.S. ha, it's not like you can go to Wal-Mart and stumble upon a whole season of an American show translated into Spanish.

I wonder why he went looking for it.

Its the newer dub, the one done by Spacetoon/ Al Zahra so I think we're talking about the same one. I was psyched to know that Spacetoon dubbed it because they've done excellent work on other series, but was disappointed by the result, hence "My biggest disappointment being a fan"

Dude, I'm from the United Arab Emirates.

Why would I be complaining about an Arabic dub if I live in the US?

Is this thread about one's disappointments with strictly the original property?

As an adult I can't say much, I liked parts of both Fast Forward and BTTS and Seasons 8-10 of the OT.

The fact that cyber cube complains more than anyone on this forum, but yet the one thread that specifically asks you to complain about something he holds out.......

cryan · 02-18-2013, 12:57 PM

Someone posted about a feature length animated movie in the same vein as the GI Joe and Transformers movies that came out. Ok they didn't do well at the box office. I would have loved to see a TMNT open like this.
