But in all seriousness now, it's basically a different galaxy. Why it was called DIMENSION X I wouldn't know. I guess it sounded kinda cool and mysterious in David Wise's mind or whoever came up with that name. And it kinda does. It's simple yet memorable. |

I didn't want to dismiss the argument. Dimension X is a solid thing to discuss on a message board dedicated to the TMNT. The point I'm trying to make is: do the finer points of that particular aspect of the story matter if that aspect of the story wasn't where the action was happening? It's kind of like asking how Heisenberg compensators worked in Star Trek. It'd be fun to know, but it's not necessary for the enjoyment of the show. Compare that with knowing WHY the turtles are ninjas. That's an important bit of information that is necessary for a lot of the plot in the show. Aside from that, I always thought it was a parallel dimension to ours. That's why they needed special portals or gateways to get to-and-from. This is the first I've ever heard of it being something other than that.

Has anyone in all these theories ever stopped to think maybe Dimension X is actually the name of a region of the galaxy? Dimension X always felt like another galaxy with different dimensional laws. Wasn't Mr Ogg from Dimension C? That apparently had different dimensional laws but could be considered another galaxy. It comes across from the cartoon series that different areas of space were considered different dimensions with Mr Ogg being a good example of this.

Yeah, but I doubt they'd let something like realistic spaceflight timetables get in the way of pacing. I mean, the Silverhawks never had a problem getting from one place to the other. I know it's a different universe (ironically), but that's how my brain rationalized it. Portal for different dimensions, ships for same dimension.

That said, it literally is a galaxy in the Archie stuff.

The word dimension itself refers to size. But what we call places are often a product of culture. For example, Iceland isn't covered with a lot of ice all-year round, and much of Greenland isn't very green throughout most of the year. Norwegian seafares and settlers arrived to Iceland in the wintertime and Greenland in the summertime.
Or how about the word asteroid? It means star-like, and that's not a good name to describe them. Same with the constellations and asterisms, their names have been different within different cultures. Last edited by Original TMNT Cartoon Fan; 02-16-2019 at 04:24 PM. |

Wel we have the Mr Ogg episode as reference so that's something. Ogg came from a dimension where he was able to change and switch objects with the power of thought. Yeah I could be wrong. Dimension X could very well be another dimension rather than the name of a galaxy although the laws of physics don't seem that different to an alien world seen in episodes such as Planet of the Turtleoids which in that episode actually does take place across the universe. I certainly don't remember Kerma ever mentioning Krang.

I also liked the idea of only 1 dimension X and that it was the one from the archie galaxy universe, I'm sure I debated this over ten years ago here on the drome with someone. Sadly that theory is not great anymore even if 2012 sort of helped that fanon in a sense.

Don't forget that the 4Kids show pretty distinctly had multiple dimensions, and seemed to imply that Earth existed in several of them (TMNT and Usagi, specifically, and then there was Turtles Forever....) and that Dimension X was its own dimension as well. The Utroms even specifically needed the trans-mat machine to get back, rather than, I dunno, just repairing their ship? Ogg was indeed from a seperate dimension, in fact Krang even made mention of it, and said it was weird- which is saying something coming from him! Also, Dimension X DID seem to have some different rules of physics, like "space" having breathable air (as shown in the episodes where the Tchnodrome is in Dimension X, especially on the volcanic asteroid, since we're discussing it), or various star systems, races, and such all existing there in what appears to be their own universe. Archie seems to be the biggest outlier as far as the galaxy/dimension debate goes. Most others seem to lean toward seperate dimension.

Just imagine what else Dimension Z would've had, besides Mr. Ogg.

I don't have the vocabulary to express my displeasure with Ogg.
