Turtles during Y2k?

*Sage Ninja* · 05-29-2007, 03:57 PM

I was just watching an the first episode of Futrurama and how his overly political father was muttering about the horrors and technical tragidies that would occur due to Y2k, and I got to thinking, how do you think the turtles (especially Donatello) reacted to the technical threat of y2k? I mean this show started off in 2003 so in the turtles time line y2k was only three years ago for them. Do you think thatthey where all freaking out about the y2k thing screwing up technology and making all these preperations to survive the invetible (like alot of sciencetists where doing around this time). Do you think Donatello was just as freaked? aybe even making a bigger deal out the whole thing than any one else and getting his brothers and Splinter all freaked out with dire predictions...or do you think Donatello laughed it off as nonsence and tried to calm them down?

What do you think their over-all reaction was? Do you think Dontello had concerns like the rest of society did?

Aside from maybe Donny conspiracy theorizing on it, I doubt they could have cared less about Y2K.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 05-29-2007, 04:46 PM

...I dunno, Andrew, I could see Mikey freaking out just a little if he thought his videogames might get damaged as a result of Y2K. Think of the highscores he'd have to get again! The horror!

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 05-29-2007, 05:14 PM

They'd probably decided it has to actually be some maniacal plot by some villian and got out to kick some butt...

Yes Ruko Mikey would cry I'd think, and Donny wouldl have similar feelings of dread. After all what we he do if all tech as we know it crashed!!! Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn

Spawn Guy · 05-29-2007, 05:33 PM

Okay. So Leo, Raph and Splinter couldn't have cared less. Don would probably check all the angles and decide it wouldn't happen anyway.

And he'd be right.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-29-2007, 05:36 PM

A big part of it would be, in which TMNT universe?

I don't see it bothering the Mirage TMNT one bit.

*Revan* · 05-29-2007, 05:37 PM

Ha they were hoping all the lights would black out so they could go x-treme sporting topside. Then when nothing happened they had to wait 3 years until chrell blacked out the town while trying to steal the sword before they could go hang out above.

Haha I was almost going to reference that too!

Aignatius · 05-29-2007, 07:25 PM

Nah, it wouldn't have bothered Don, he would have thought of that long ago and had his systems already programmed to handle it. He's ninja, he's trained to think ahead and be prepared for all the possiblities.

Time Mistress · 05-29-2007, 09:45 PM

Why do I keep having visions of Shredder and Krang using Y2K as an excuse for yet another plot to try and take over the world.

*Scandia* · 05-30-2007, 04:41 AM

I think everything would have been kept under control. Donnie would not have let things get out of hand.

Curiously, the year 2000 had very little TMNT activity. Volume 4 had not started yet. There were no TMNT cartoons on TV unless they were reruns.

*Sewer Bull* · 05-30-2007, 04:51 AM

Mayday, mayday! We're running out of decent topics to discuss!

*Katie* · 05-30-2007, 06:40 AM

It was just a big media diversionary tactic. I think the turtles would have laughed along with the rest of the people.

all I remember about that is thinking "why is this such a big deal?" Silly government people. Always gotta make us worry abut something

Tora_Chan · 05-30-2007, 10:06 AM

I would think that Donny is smart enough to know that people are blowing this way out of poportion and that unless his PC is acient, he has nothing to worry about. He probably rolled his eyes a lot at people over-reacting.

*odupianist* · 05-30-2007, 10:07 AM

Slow media year

*Ninjinister* · 05-30-2007, 08:03 PM

Mike: "OH NO! MY VIDEO GAMES AND DVDS! THEY'LL ALL BLOW UP!"
Don: "You're an idiot, Mikey. The odds of anything significant occuring because of this supposed glitch are astronomical."
Mike: "IT'S ALREADY STARTED! MY GAME BOY'S DEAD!"
Don: -_- "There's no batteries in it...."
Mike: "Oh."

"My bad!" ^^;

Krang- and while the citizens of the world are distracted with the Y2K threat... we will raise the Technodrome and take over the world!!!!

That would have been an interesting fanfic based on the 1987 TMNT cartoon, set three years after "Divide & Conquer", Krang and Shredder repairing the Technodrome in Dimension X and trying to return to the Earth on December 31 1999 by trying to make the Y2K threat bigger by hacking into the computers.
