how old do you think TMNT are now???

Raphael_Fan · 10-05-2006, 09:01 AM

In the old TMNT episode it claimes that Raph,donnie and Mikey were 15 and leo were 16 like I am now.But in the new show it doesn't look like that they are 15-16 years old.Now they look like they are around 19 years old that means that Leo are 20

what do you guys think?? which age does it look like they are?? obviously they are not 15 anymore

*Raph's Girl* · 10-05-2006, 09:09 AM

Current Toon wise I'd say they're around 17/18

In the comics they're 35/36

how can they then be teenagers in the comics??

I was think about the Cartoon Turtles

*KROW* · 10-05-2006, 10:46 AM

Well, the "T" in "TMNT" could stand for "Thirtysomething" in the comics now...

Just a thought.

Anyway, if we're talking the current toon turtles, I'd say they're in their late teens -- maybe around 18.

Leonardo87 · 10-05-2006, 10:52 AM

If you want to get in the technical term, they are 22, but in the Current Toon of TMNT, they are like around 17/18/ or possible 19...for sepreate ages for the Turtles i would say, Leo = 18 1/2 Donny = 17 1/2 Raph = 18 and Mikey = 17

I meant in the new cartoon I have always wondered what age they have in the new show

I have thought on that everybody is in the same age besides Leonardo who is a year older than his brothers

I go with that then

*Buslady* · 10-05-2006, 12:13 PM

they seemed older when the toon started...they hafta be like 18-20 by now
they can't still be 15

mirage, they're 34-36ish

They don't have to age at all. Just think of them:

did read on the on the original Turtle site that they said in the old toon Turtles they were 15 and 16,They can't be 20-30 cuz then they can't use the word teenager the turtles are 15 and 16 in the old one and they look like they are 15 there,I can see diffence between the old and new one.in the new one they are 18 or 19,Thier bodies look like they were 19 in the new one cuz they look taller than in the old one and they don't that child cute faces they had in the old one

By the way if they are adult now then they can't use the word Teenager

Spawn Guy · 10-05-2006, 03:12 PM

Just stick them in the same boat as Spider-Man; dosen't matter how many years go by or how old they should be, we'll just leave them in this limbo where time dosen't affect them and never make age an issue. That way the fans can relate and get that timeless vibe they pick up the comics and DvDs for.

*Raph's Girl* · 10-05-2006, 05:22 PM

TMNT is just the brand name... which is why they're just known as the Turtles or the Ninja Turtles.

Altho there was an ep of the original series set in the future where they were refered to as the Old Mutant Ninja Turtles. *lol*

*Masked Ninja* · 10-05-2006, 05:49 PM

The "official" age for the new toon Turtles is 15, but they've never looked 15. I'd say they maybe started out at 17 and should be pushing 20 by now... especially with their physique... those are NOT 15-year-old bodies.

You seem to be confused about the comics, Raphael Fan. When they started out, I believe the Turtles were 13 or so, but they've been going on in real time since 1984. So...

2006-1984 = 22

13+22= 35

...so if it goes in real time since the comic first started, the TMNT should be 35 now. As for the "Teenage" part of the acronym... well, that's why the current TMNT comic uses the acronym instead of spelling out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... 'cos they aren't, anymore.

I don't remember how old they were supposed to be in the old toon, but it'd be more like 15-16... they looked more like actual teenagers there. Sounded more like 'em, too.

Hmm... I think Bull's Simpsons reference is more credible, since Spider-Man was 15 in the '60s, in his 20s in the '70s-'90s, and is in his early 30s in current continuity. Other than that, you make a good point.

Spawn Guy · 10-06-2006, 08:21 AM

Well I used it because the TMNT and Spidey were around the same age when they debuted. Spidey's had forty or so more years of publishing history, but only just now started to move beyond the point he reached a while back.

well I don't count that way,I see them as 19 in the new one then they can't have name Teenager,The title on the new has Teenage mutant ninja turtles not mutant Ninja Turtles

I am gonna stick to that they are 19 they are not 15 anymore it doesn't look like 15 in their really and not ethier 20 or 30

Draconic · 10-06-2006, 09:02 AM

Judging by their build, I'd say 24-25 ish. Not even 19 year olds are that built. Not without steroid abuse.

Then again, c'mon, they're turtles. Don't you think their turtle life-spans are affecting them? exactly how old were they before they were mutated?

These kinds of variables make the science a little less than possible pin down their age any more accurately than a range of a quarter century. (They could be 15, they could be 40...)

I am only gonna listen to my opinion,They were 15 when the old series was and the new one they are 19 end disussion,I am gonna see them as those ages

Than don't ask for other's opinions.

Who gives a care about the stupid title. It's just a "brand" name. In the 2K3 cartoon, they begin when they're 15...they don't officially give ages anyways, but we assume and like to think, some of us more open minded fans anyways, they've aged a couple years. Raph has especially matured alot (FF not counting cause he seems back to being immature again...i dont consider that canon w/ 2K3)..so they've aged and matured. Maybe in a few years we'll get a series called "Ninja Turtles" (animated, for the over 15 audience and more dramatic..okay hopeful thinking) and without TNM in the title)

Today, the turtles are in their mid 30's, they're my freaking generation...(which makes sense cause hatchlings were easy to come by in 1971...neighborhood Woolworth's or where-ever!)...they're 35 years old.
