Phew, been spared from being the oldest in thread by a few of you, thank you.

By this number, consider not asking a lady her age (it might still be alright), but do not remind her how close 40 is. Though honestly I'm at the point it's starting to feel hard to wrap my mind around how I already got to the age I am. Only thing that makes me feel a tad better about it is that the Turtles are technically 31 and not far behind. What I wouldn't give to have them portrayed as their real world age. lol |

Not really, at least for me personally. Your life priorities may change, and yes you may drop out of some things and get into new things, but I always enjoy hearing the views of other people into the same interests as myself. I'll be 41 next week so... onwards and downwards

I'll bite (and incidentally date myself as among the "oldsters" here)
Mirage- 7, but turned 8 later that year FW/OT- just turned 11, but didn't really "discover" it until.... 1990 movie- 13 and just "discovering" TMNT through the movie- I'd heard of it, but wasn't really a fan until I saw the film and fell in love. Comic Strip- just turned 14 and by now I was heavily into the TMNT, I used to cut out and keep them when I could get them (usually the Sunday strips) Next Mutation- Probably what killed my interest in TMNT. I was 20, but turned 21 later that year. Legal to drink! (And that birthday was quite "fun", IIRC.) 4Kids- 26 when it first aired. I vaguely remember watching a few eps while living at my grandmother's place and acting as "surrogate mom" for my three cousins, but I'd fallen out of the fandom a bit. 2007 TMNT- 30 at the time it came out- barely a blip on my radar, sadly. The ONLY TMNT movie I never saw in theaters! IDW- 34, 35 later that year. Had only gotten back into the fandom in June the previous year. Thanks, Feral Female!) Nick- still 35, but 36 a little over two months later. 2014 movie- 37, and dreading my next birthday....

Comic series (1984): I was 5, and I didn't even know it existed.
Original cartoon (1987): I was 8, and I actually didn't even know that was a thing at the time. I was in the third grade then, and my earliest memories of TMNT are from when I was 9 (in 1988 ) and in the fourth grade. TMNT movies 1-3 (1990, 1991, 1993): I was 10, 11, and 13 respectively. Next Mutation (1997): I was 18, starting college, and my interest in TMNT in general was basically dead at that point. You can actually blame Power Rangers for that. 2K3 series (2003): I was 23. This actually brought my interest in TMNT back to life. TMNT movie (2007): I was 27. 2K12 Nick series (2012): I was 33. TMNT movie (2014): I was 35. |

I wasn't even born when Mirage came out. The original show came out pretty much about the time I was born, luckily turtlemania lasted many years so I got to live it. I know I saw the first two movies on HBO or PayPerView, I don't remember which, I was still fairly little when the third movie came out since I had no idea there was a third movie, I only remember the third movie toys being on sale at the store, so I'm guessing that was a while after the movie bombed. I was the exact the right age to like TNM. 2k3 came out during my teenage years so it was barely a beep in my radar, I remember thinking it was cool that they were coming back and was interested but never really checked it out fully. And the Nick show came out when I was already in my 20s.
When I started posting in the drome most of the people here were about to turn 30 or were already in their 30s but most of them are gone, I'm guessing they got to see the OT when around my age when I watched TNM. Quote:
So, how does being married/having a kid affect your hobbies? With me being a fulltime adult and in a committed relationship, I have little if no time for things I like. I can't imagine having time for it once I'm married/have kids. Being neir yours and Cybercubed's age is making me wonder a lot if I'm too old for this stuff. In my early teens I was a little embarrased to continue liking stuff like this but in my late teens I just didn't give a crap and that attitude I kept through most of my early 20s but being mid-late 20s has me feeling like I did in my early teens about this stuff haha.

I'm basically the same age as you, Cybercubed.
Mirage: Not born yet. Was born the following year. Fred Wolf: 2 years old. Didn't get into the cartoon and franchise until 89/90 when Turtlemania was at it's height. At that point I was hooked. 1990 Movie: 5 years old. Although I didn't get to see the film until it came out on VHS. One of the best movies I ever saw as a kid. Next Mutation: 11/12 years old. I was aware of the show, but had lost interest in TMNT at the time. 2k3: 17/18 years old. Same feeling as the NM at the time. 2007 Movie: 21/22 years old. Saw it a couple years later on DVD and liked it. 2009 is when I finally got back into TMNT 100%. 2012: 27 years old. Still enjoying the series. 2014 Movie: 28 years old. Saw it in the theater, should've just waited for the DVD I'll be turning 30 this September, but won't be losing interest in TMNT anytime soon.

Its rather weird how young we were when the original cartoon was airing, yet somehow got swept into Turtlemania. It doesn't make sense really, if you were 3-4 years old when the original cartoon began by the time you were a kid the show was almost out of popularity already. By 1993 is when the TMNT fad was officially over.

I was only 2 years old when the original cartoon started, I have no idea how I got into it. Must have been the endless reruns when I was like 5-7 and all the toys and videogames.
