Once you realize the TMNT are essentially trying to beat on the mentally handicapped the movie's a lot less fun.

Now I kinda want to rewatch SOTO myself!

I try and spread a little cheer everywhere I go.

Yeah, man, you do know all that smeared cheer can ID you with your DNA? Best not to spread it everywhere you go.

Law's gonna catch up someday.

They're not gonna catch ME. They may, however, catch "Rusty Shackleford", who I swear I've never met and have no connection to in any way, shape or form!

Thinking about it there's no scenario were Secret of the Ooze could have ever been as good as the first movie. As everyone has said a lot of the success of that movie is mixing Mirage's story with just enough Fred Wolf-isms to make it recognisable to the kids who only knew TMNT from the cartoon.

The problem with cranking out a second movie so fast and using the Mirage book as its source again meant that there wasn't really much to work with. The only usable story really was the whole space arc. Despite the talented people at Henson's workshop I'm not sure depicting a whole race of Triceratons was really doable on the budget they'd have nor would making believable Utroms.

They basically took the one part of the space arc they could film (discovering TCRI or TGRI) and basically made up the rest.

Rewatching the movie here is my new super shredder head cannon.

That is not shredder.

O way would the cloths and armor mutate. It means he was ready. It means that is either a mutated Tatsu, who was mutated for failing shredder too many times, or a shredder mutated clone like an homage to the mirage comics. Why else would he have clothes and armor ready to go?

This was all a diversion. Shredder never took the mutagen. It takes too long to mutate. He?s still out there somewhere. Plotting his revenge.

City at War was the perfect sequel though, don't you think. Maybe too adult for what they could do, but a lot of seeds are essentially there once Shredder has been taken out.

Well, Tatsu is lying unconcious on the dance floor in that very same scene, so it can't be him. Sorry.

There was no City at War at the time. The comic story was just coming out as the third movie was starting production.

Yeah. Prob a bit too serious for movies but. I?d love to see it.

And at the time TMNT, mainstream wise, was more recognizable by this cartoon versions, hence how they become more humorous over the course of the 2nd and 3rd movie.
