An appeal to TMNT Fans

Inner City Blues · 09-19-2007, 12:15 AM

Hello everybody, I know all of you are TMNT fans out there and I'd like to ask you for some help. If any of you have looked on Wikipedia, you would have noticed there was a list of TMNT episodes for the new series, but the episodes themselves still need to have the plot synopses added. Since this is such a huge task with over 100 episodes, I am requesting a little assistance from The Technodrome community.

Would anyone be willing to do some plot summaries and give some comments on the notability of the episode, like turning the Shredder into an Utrom?

Shredder did not get turned into an Utrom.

Oh! That was easy...

You see, Saki was doing his thing when suddenly... the plot writers decided to make him fall in some Mutagen, off screen, and he turned into an OMG UTROM!

Spoiler:

I think City Blues wants comments on the decision of the writers making shredder an utrom in this series.
Obviously shredder was not mutated into an utrom, I think ICB is just asking for comments.

Here is the reason www.ninjaturtles.com gives

Would it be totally hard to just copy and paste the summaries already posted on the official site?

As for Shredder being an Utrom my theory on that is the creators needed a way to decapitate Shredder and mangle his body so they made him an Utrom. Also if you look at it they basically mixed two villains into on. Evil Utom, kinda like Krang no? Shredder's armor, kinda like uhhh Shredder! Yeah Krang and Shredder in one villain. That's the way I see it.

I've actually seen it that way for quite some time, too. The new cartoon is extremely Post-Modern (if you don't know what that word means, look it up) and because the writers were catering to such a varied audience (which can cause problems), they probably wanted to tip their hats to Krang as a character without coming off as too flippant. It was done EXTREMELY well; the Shredder in the new cartoon is truly an amalgam between the Oroku Saki of the Mirage books and Krang from the original cartoon.

Well put... I have to agree with this as it is how I saw it too. Plus what an unexpected twist!

Spit nailed it! It makes sense and it was an interesting idea.

*Scandia* · 09-19-2007, 02:23 PM

It does make sense how all the Shredders tie together.

I still kinda prefer a human Saki. It would have been cool if Ch'rell had morphed into a human rather than just had an exosuit.

Anyhow, regarding the turning into an Utrom...the language barrier got in the way again.

Spoiler: There was originally a tengu Shredder who merged with the original Oroku Saki way back in 300 AD or so. Ch'rell the Utrom took that identity and joined the Foot Clan. And then there's also Karai assuming the Shredder identity later. But nobody ever got turned into an Utrom. __________________ Turtles fight with honor!!!
