Old tmnt theme

*Deathknight* · 05-07-2003, 09:17 PM

Just wanted to ask you people on your thoughts on this one. Why was it that Bebop, Rocksteady or Krang were never in the original TMNT theme until Season 8? All they ever showed was Shredder and Foot Soldiers but why no Bebop, Rocksteady or Krang? Were they just considered too unimportant to be included or something?

Y'know, I've always wondered why they weren't a part of the intro. My vote goes to "yes."

~~Reznorite420~~ · 05-08-2003, 07:41 AM

My vote goes "no". Now stop bringing them up!

**Karpo_007** · 05-08-2003, 08:12 AM

Krang was in hero versio... I voted no.

*Brodie* · 05-08-2003, 08:59 AM

I voted "No" too. There's something that urks me about Punked-Up-Swines and Rhinos...

*The Defibrillator* · 05-08-2003, 09:05 AM

I voted YES! Krang, bebop, and rocksteady were almost in every episode so they should have been in the theme. It really doesn't matter whether you like punked up pigs or not.

This has nothing to do with the fact that Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang aren't in the new series. Now that I've seen the new series I know they wouldn't fit in at all so I don't really care that they're not in it. People have the right to bring them up this is not a "TMNT comic and New TMNT series" forum. Believe it or not people still do like the old series and they were main characters and I was just curious what people thoughts on why they weren't in the theme, the poll was just an extra. This is General TMNT discussion meaning anything of the past or new series and such. I'm sick and tired of people bashing the old series. I know it's over and never coming back but there's nothing wrong with thinking back on it. If you don't like the old series anymore then you don't have to watch it and you shouldn't be such a jerk to those of us who still like it. I wasn't much of a fan of the comics but have you seen me going around bashing it since I like the original toon a lot more? I don't think so. I am sick and tired of people like you who just want to forget things that happened in the past because they consider them to be not as good or much worse. I know TMNT was serious in the beginning with the Mirage comics and the old cartoon was completely different and I respect that. But there is no reason for you to go around bashing the old toon and upsetting fans such as myself just because you don't like it.

no

*Deathknight* · 05-08-2003, 12:52 PM

Oy, next time I think I'm not doing a poll. The purpose of this was "why" they weren't in the old theme... oh well.

*cqb101* · 05-08-2003, 01:09 PM

I voted "Who cares? New TMNT rules!"

~~Tokka-B~~ · 05-08-2003, 01:30 PM

Hmmm, maybe, only if it would make it better, although it would be hard enough making that theme better anyway. It is a shame people just forget about the old toon like it is some lost artifact now being buried in the Earth...if it weren't for the old toon's success, they wouldn't have considered putting the show on tv....

Krangfan · 05-08-2003, 01:56 PM

I'm not sure. It would kinda spoil they're introductions, lol. Remember, Bebop and Rocksteady were in the first episode, but didn't get mutated till later, so we'd already know about them and it would be no surprise, same with Krang

~~Tokka-B~~ · 05-08-2003, 02:04 PM

Any intro gives spoilers, unless your intro contained only clips from the first episode...

*Deathknight* · 05-08-2003, 02:18 PM

The theme had plenty of spoilers to begin with... The Turtle Van and Blimp were in the original theme. I also thought that the reason may have been that they didn't want to spoil their introductions but what about the 2nd theme that started in the mid 1990 season? That didn't have them either, it's just kind of puzzling. They was no episode that had just Shredder, Krang and/or Bebop and Rocksteady were always shown too.

**Karpo_007** · 05-08-2003, 03:47 PM

My best guess is that to, Maybe they wouldn't want to spoil...And were to lazy to make a new intro untill many years later. I think they should have, the whole look of the series changed.

*Jephael* · 05-08-2003, 05:11 PM

I votes YES, just cause they were such funny characters. They could've been shown right at that part where the turtles are staring up at the Technodrome.

Or in the Saturday morning version, Mike could've pounced Rocksteady and Bebop when he shouted "Pawty!" instead of those random Foot Soldiers.

**Nturtle** · 05-08-2003, 05:46 PM

I voted "no" because I always loved how they were introduced in "Enter the Shredder" which I've said a bijillion times and I'll say it again... was the best episode of the old show and the 2nd best episode of all animated TMNT versions ever made (only to 'The Shredder Strikes Part 2")

~~Reznorite420~~ · 05-08-2003, 07:33 PM

DK: I didn't read that reply you made...heh

I said that not because of the new series, but because it's pointless to think like that since the old series has been off the air for a good 6 or 7 years and water under bridge...

*Deathknight* · 05-08-2003, 08:07 PM

My reply fully has a good and meaningful response to that, you should read it.

I don't have much an opinion on this topic. It wouldn't have mattered to me, though, if Bebop and Rocksteady were in the theme or not for seasons 1-7.
