TMNT on NYCC'15

[ToTheNines]

I don't give a **** who moderates any panel.

[CyberCubed]

I just can't believe these youtube people are becoming famous and making millions of dollars. Did you guys hear about that youtube guy who plays Minecraft all day just bought a $4.5 million dollar mansion, and he's only 23 years old?

Let alone Pewdewpie and others. Goddamn, who knew you could get rich off of youtube? If I knew this I would have tried it myself a decade ago.

[ToTheNines]

No one likes you though.

Nobody knows what kind of youtube content I would have made, but its too late for me to attempt now. This is something people do in their early 20's when they have too much free time on their hands and don't have huge jobs.

There's a reason why all these youtube people started in their late teens or early 20's. You don't really see too many fully grown adults doing this stuff unless they work for professional website.

Dude, I know he says a lot of crazy things but that was really uncalled for.

It's never too late to start. Nintendocaprisun started LPing in his early thirties. If you're still young, just go for it.

Personally, while I appreciate and respect everything Michelle Ivey has done for the franchise, I think Andre has stepped up and has become the main Turtle fan as of late. I would much rather hear what he has to say about all things TMNT than her.

Mind if I ask why? I'm curious.

Main turtle fan? What does that even mean?

There are SOME pretty old people who are popular and get free stuff and money off youtube.

He means a funny and popular tmnt fan who reviews and comments and geeks out over tmnt. Anyway not many tmnt fans have big popular channels.

That's true. As long as you've got the time and energy to do it- I'd say go for it!

How has he "stepped up"? He's a professional geek. It's literally his paying job to be or seem passionate about cartoons. If he's the "main turtle fan" it's only because of attention he gets, not how driven or knowledgeable he is when it comes to the franchise. & as far as I know, he's not even into all of the TMNT iterations, just the OT & Nick series. Why would you rather hear him speak on turtles than Ivey when his knowledge is limited & hers so vast? I'm not lobbying for Michelle to be a moderator, but as someone who has hung out with her a couple of times I can tell you she is just chock-full of info that even the most hardcore fans don't always know. That makes her output interesting & educational, whereas with Andre, you'd likely only be relating to one another, rather than learning something new.

Teens and twenties aren't magical times that means you will automatically succeed (or are endowed with some sort of mystical technological know-how) if you do something during them. What makes Youtube celebs successful is if they are entertaining.

They fill different niches in the fandom. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, but how would she fair running a panel of hundreds of people and a slew of celebrities? Andre appears extremely comfortable in front of an audience. He doesn't look nervous, he doesn't stumble over his speech, and he has a fun add-libbed side-commentary. And he's well-known and liked among fans of the show. He's a perfect choice.
If there was a history of turtles panel or some kind of big fan meeting, I'd expect her to be involved somehow.

Honestly, if there's really going to be a crossover between the current series, the 80's series and even the Mirage Turtles (like in "Turtles Forever"), I believe the turtles from the 2003's series should appear here too. It could work as a sequel of "Turtles Forever", and we could have 16 turtles in total. I would really like to see the Utrom Shredder back as the ultimate enemy of every turtle in the multiverse.

By the way, if "Turtles Forever" is going to be cannon to this story, then I believe the 80's Technodrome should appear with his "upgraded" look from "Turtles Forever", combined with Utrom Technology. After all, that makes it quite similar to the Technodromes the current series, created by the Kraangs.

Imo, she seems to be a little more akward and pretty geeky when it comes to speaking in front of an audience. Andre seems to try to be funny and cool and doesn't spew off facts every ten seconds. Also he's no hoarder. Kinda Like some
One I know whose room is designed to look like the sewer lair.

I forget something. The reaction of the 2012's turtles seeing their 80's counterparts is stupid. I mean, they can't remember they saw them before in the Wormquake's special, when they were exploring the Kraang's dimensional tunnels?

I was wondering that, too! Also, since this is the 80s turtles, I hope they refer to meeting the 2003 turtles. I'm sure they wouldn't just forget! Right?

Not arguing any of that, I did say I wasn't lobbying for her to be a moderator (or panel host, whatever you crazy kids call it). I like Andre, he's cool, he does a great job, he's a genuine fan, etc, but he's not the face of the TMNT fandom or anything. The guy said "I think Andre has stepped up and has become the main Turtle fan as of late. I would much rather hear what he has to say about all things TMNT than her." & I felt otherwise, yo, never said he wasn't a good choice.
