Interesting TMNT website...

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Has anyone ever seen the TMNTissected website. A very clever website which reviews some of the TMNT cartoon episodes and talks about themes and what he thinks is really going on in character's mind. It's funny reading too. The custom-made pictures are great too. The cartoon gets taken really seriously on the theme page but that's why it's unique, and every hardcore TMNT fan of the original cartoon should see this.

That excellent site reminds me why I hate Toonzone, thier "critics" don't compare to this, they pride themselves on being "expert critics" when 90% of thier crap comes from anime reviews and Adult Swim.

This is a TRUE fan of animated shows dissecting a classic the way it should be, looking closely at the positives, glaring at the real negatives

The Donatello coverage was interesting...given I always thought there were more hints of Donny/Irma in there than anything

The Turtles stop Krang from blowing up Mount Rushmore by jumping onto an eye missile. They throw it off course enough to avoid catastrophe – but the smoke from the missile draws a black line across the presidents’ faces so they resemble our heroes. Cool. But think about it – if the Turtles had stayed on the Technodrome and allowed the crummy monument to be destroyed, they could have stopped the Technodrome much sooner and prevented it from ever reaching the city and endangering countless lives. This is a good analogy for how patriotism can endanger a country as well as protect it. (I’m not going to mention Iraq here. Even though it’s the exact same thing).

It's interesting that he says Donatello has a definite dark side, and i have seen that too. It's a great website and compulsory reading. Very in-depth.

Very ascethic site, but excellent. Just excellent. I wanted once to make something similar devoted to Courage the Cowardly Dog (very critical reviews of each episode, pointing out foolishness, from the point of view of the true fan) but I gave up, hence to estetic reasons. Now I see that the only thing that really matters is the content. I'm starting my site about CtCD in 2 weeks time

I don't have time to read TMNTdissected all tonight, but I'll do it certainly tomorrow.Few samples. I've read now are simply marvelous.

I liked the review of Leatherhead vs. the Rat King. Which was certainly one of the better episodes of the old toon. The theories are quite funny, yet true.

I love the praise she bestows on the Rat King, whilst it's more than clear Shredder became a cross between a bumbler and a serious threat infrequently in the series, Rat King almost never changed his character of a genocidal racist

Too bad she has'nt gotten around to reviewing "Shredderville", another classic episode, it explores the very real possibilites of what happens when a new world order is created...but cannot be maintained.

That was great

I still have more to read, but I love what they said about April... she WAS a total bitch!!

I always did dislike her, and he was right about her being a crap role model for chicks.
Not that that ever affected me any. I always hated how women were portrayed in television anyways, so she was just another reason for me to be disgusted in being a girl.

She was strong in some ways, yet weak in others. If anything, she was totally in the way of the show.
Or I should say, the Turtles. 'Cause she did add something to the show... like young lust *chortle*

Irma was just... well she was way cuter than April. Again, that person totally hit the nail on the head with her description. Like how easily seduced she was, thinking shredder kidnapped her to proclaim his *love* for her.

And yeah, Shredder is a little bit of a spoiled brat.
I luff him all the more for it

Hilarious.

I'm impressed.

PS.
Vern is totally Ghey

April was'nt as bad as non-entitys like Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros, at least she had AMBITION

...Meh, there's a lot of women like the original cartoon April, TMNT just took a reallsitic approach to an original version of the character

Cool site. I also enjoyed reading the TMNT and Me section - can relate to her considering her continuing TMNT fandom into her 20's as a "dirty little secret" (I asked for a gift receipt when I purchased the old 'toon dvd last year, and only one of my closest friends knows about me still liking TMNT ). Hope she continues reviewing eps & perhaps updates the profiles down the road.

She's based in the U.K, and we only got those two seasons...SERIOUSLY, so she'd have to download the remanider with something like Azerus.

I've come to terms with all my fandoms...i can proudly buy TMNT and marvel action figures and other memoribilia....occasionally i have talks with little old ladies in line..."oh my grand kids just love those...how old is the little guy who's getting that??" "oh it's for me..." i don't care....i could buy alot worce...

Very interesting and amusing website. I don't agree with all the statements made (For example, to say that Mike hasn't done anything dumb is a stretch; though I don't think he IS dumb, he's still done dumb THINGS.), but a lot of it makes sense. Definately a site worth bookmarking.
