the Ninja Turtles Twin Tower episode

Turtle Dove · 01-09-2006, 12:37 AM

unsure where to put this,it's still a tmnt topic.

I was watching my season 2 DVD again. Does anyone recall "Enter: The Fly", has anyone heard anything about anyone complaining about it? I watch this and go,"wow.Those buildings aren't there anymore."

Someone I talk to online says, theepisode should of been cut. I feel for him, but it's not fair to destory a cartoon from the past to make the present happy.

Hotrodding teenagers would also have to be cut, Shredder parks the Technodrome between the towers.

Turtle Dove · 01-09-2006, 12:41 AM

see thats my wonder. My friend says it's disrespecting them, but I mean this cartoon was in the 80's...Spiderman movie made sense but the tmnt episodes?

*Masked Ninja* · 01-09-2006, 12:42 AM

Yes, the tragedy happened... and it was horrible. Doesn't mean we should pretend like the towers never existed. We move on, but we don't forget.

**Jester** · 01-09-2006, 12:59 AM

Exactly, it's no disrespect. I think I'd be more upset if it was cut, myself.

Turtle Dove · 01-09-2006, 01:10 AM

you might be right. I think there would be a bigger protest of the tmnt fans protesting the scene cuts.

*Deathknight* · 01-09-2006, 09:28 PM

It really aggrivated me when any station cut something that had to do with the twin towers. It happend, it was horrible but life needs to go on.

pwnage · 01-09-2006, 09:35 PM

No that shouldn't have been cut. Are you going to toss out all the pre-9/11 movies that you can spot the Twin Towers off of TV? Hell no. Just another US goverment manufactured sentiment to perpetuate censorship, enforced by the FCC and the MPAA by unconstitutional beatdown.

**Jester** · 01-09-2006, 09:53 PM

Dude, they didn't cut it, it's ok.

*iris* · 01-09-2006, 09:53 PM

I agree with Mask and Jester. Those towers were a part of life as well as art. We can't remove all trace of them from our art any better than we can remove them from our memories. Moreover, it wouldn't be right.

That said, some reminders of 9/11 do make me shudder. I avoided driving in Washington DC for months because I knew I'd get lost and wind up on the freeway that runs past the Pentagon. (I did, too.)

But if I can't handle it, I can change the channel.

I know, but the incentive itself gets me steamed.

Turtle Dove · 01-09-2006, 10:14 PM

Well I have to agree with you Optimus Prime. Nothing should be changed. I think that is why alot of pre 9/11 stuff no longer airs. Home Alone 2 actually got away with part of it when it aired around Christmas. But the new covers have the towers gone.

How many TMNT eps where around the twin towers? And this might be why Fox won't air those Spiderman episodes

**Jester** · 01-09-2006, 10:28 PM

It'd be Disney, they own Saban now, not Fox.

Doesn't Disney own WB as well?

I hate the fact that ever since Uncle Binny and his little Tail-buddys got drunk and crashed some planes into the towers, we gotta be so uptight everytime we see them in tv and movies. I still can't believe they stopped airing a whole episode of the impsons because of that.

*iris* · 01-10-2006, 12:06 AM

There is a difference between being uptight and being respectful.

You can't completely avoid the towers as they are part of our history, but you also can't just brush off what happened to them. Because it's not the towers, it's the people inside, and what happened to them, and what happened to us.

I mean, come on, to a lot of people, America was violated. Heck, the whole world in a way, since it was the WTC. To a lot of people, that overrides the artistic/comedic value of something like the Simpsons and makes it totally un-entertaining. So why air it? Have a little patience; this needs the distance of time.

Again, I can change the channel, but I think there may be good reasons for choosing not to air it in the first place.

*VaughnMichael* · 01-10-2006, 04:27 AM

I do not for any reason see why old shows and movies have to have the world trade centers taken out of them honestly I think it is really rude to those who died to act as if those building had never existed so I am really happy they exist in the turtles universe still atleast.

Wasn't there an episode where Krang threatened to roll over the twin towers if his demands weren't met? I think it was one of the Big Blow Out/ The Big Rip-off/ The Big break in trilogy thing.

Turtle Dove · 01-10-2006, 02:59 PM

Hmm I don't recall that episode. But it rings a bell. Wasn't there a TMNT ep, where the gravity pull was causing building to turn over, including the twin towers?. What is werid after years of trying to destory the towers in cartoons/movies/use them for a big scene someone actually did it.

I daresay it was actually popculture that inspired Al-Quaida.

To stay on-topic - that concept is pretty bizarre. TMNT cartoon was made a few years before the attack. And it is somehow a historical document of its times (1980s/90s decade). So wiping out WTC is unnecessary.
