i know why renet & the triceratons aren't in season 1

Donatello · 01-29-2003, 07:12 AM

i think they want to keep season one grounded. don't get too zany before they establish a real audience, plus they probably want to introduce casy

It's easier to establish a franchise with as few characters as possible. Remember, if everyone came in from the first episodes, it would be quite hectic.

I agree, that'd be like seeing Lando,Jabba,Boba,ewoks,etc in a New Hope.

Who said the Triceratons aren't in the first season? If I remember correctly the Triceraton figure was listed for the 2nd toy series. Not to mention the following plot hints:

*SPOILERS*
1) The Turtles come across a gang of "underground creatures" in the sewer with technology.
2) They meet a "monster" in Northampton.
3) They encounter "aliens".
4) The "Return to New York" storyline will be in this season. In the Mirage "Return to New York", a Tricertaon named Zog fought alongside the TMNT.

Sauron · 01-29-2003, 04:58 PM

I never read the summary,but hopefully you're right!

*Stone Ill* · 01-29-2003, 04:58 PM

Where exactly where those listed?

**Karpo_007** · 01-29-2003, 05:11 PM

Hmm... If the story with Utroms is going to happen at the end of the season, Zog can't be part of Return to New york...

Aztec General · 01-29-2003, 06:18 PM

Who knows Karp? Laird has changed the order of some of the Mirage events for the new show.

But the creatures that the trurtles encounter in the "Notes from the Underground" 3 parter are friendly to the Turtles, the Triceratons are bad guys!

lhb412 · 01-29-2003, 07:06 PM

I'd like to add another reason they may not be in season one: to save storylines and characters for further seasons.

**Karpo_007** · 01-29-2003, 08:08 PM

Yeah. Well I haven't read the synopses that far yet, So I don't know if t reads there or not..

Thats true, they listed that on the ninjaturtles.com website. I finally remembered where I saw it, so here's the link to it:

Just scroll down through it, & you'll see the figure list & some other press releases.

I think the "underground creatures" could be mutant animals made by the Utroms. I seem to remember Leatherhead being created as an experiment by the Utroms, so it's entirely possible that they made even MORE mutants just for the show.

*gasp*
Could the underground creatures be killer pizzas?

Don't even joke about that!

Lemme guess, you're not a fan of the old cartoon, are you?

Just the pizza aspect of it.

Yep... And they were in an episode of the old cartoon, too.

Wuffle · 01-31-2003, 05:07 PM

Heh, I think the assumption that Leatherhead'll be in the show is a good one. Even though he only appeared for one issue as far as I know (Mirage series run, at least), him showing up could amplify that whole sci-fi/unknown aspect of TMNT.
