What if the New Cartoon was really bad

BigThew · 08-30-2002, 07:37 PM

I am only speaking in unrealistic terms, but what if the new cartoon fell way below expectations, from the looks of it, I bet it wont, but what would you do then

would you still get up n the morning to watch the cartoon, buy all the stuff realteing to the new cartoon (DVD's and stuff down the road)

EVEN if i hated the cartoon with all my heart, i would still watch it no matter what

Don't get me wrong, the show looks great to me, I just hope it doesn't turn out to be horrible

Supposing the new cartoon would be bad, i would still watch it, no matter how bad it is...i've already learned from my mistakes...i thought next mutation was bad so i didn't watched it, and now untill today i regret that choice

But it looks good so far, i don't think it will be bad

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 03:21 AM

If turtles look like that and the plots are from mirage i can't believe it would be bad... I have noticed that i even like movies that my friends say are bad... Only thing that could be bad is the fighting scenes... That is an important part of the show...

**HorseTechie** · 08-31-2002, 11:08 AM

yeah... it's possibly to be scared... after being burned twice from Image comics and TNM (or thrice if you count the third movie).

But I think the Mirage guys learned their lessons... and will give it their all to make sure this show won't totally suck.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 11:48 AM

Yeah this time Peter is closely involved with the project unlike the first cartoon or next mutation. Especially in next mutation fox called the shots and that's what made it bad...

**azure turtle** · 08-31-2002, 01:40 PM

I have high hopes for this new show, but even if it doesn't live up to expectations, I will loyally follow the cartoon and continue to support the TMNT. Of course, since I'm an optimist, I don't think the cartoon is going to be bad at all.

**Kali** · 08-31-2002, 02:18 PM

I agree, it would have to be really bad in order to get me to not watch it. But considering who is behind it, I doubt it'll be that bad, and I have high hopes from what I've seen so far.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 02:29 PM

Yeah... I hoep we would see some animation soon... Only then we could know better...

I really hope it does well, but in today's world, kids may think of the Ninja Turtles as old and outdated. The show will have to clamor to today's audience. It also might have to answer to the parents council, or whatever that thing is.

I want the show to do well. I really do. But if history is any indication, it will have a short run and be forgotten.

**Nturtle** · 09-01-2002, 07:59 PM

I've worried about that too and if they do pander to kids now they will loose many old fans such as myself

well after sitting through the hell of the foxbox program and seeing what kids like now, we may have trouble

**azure turtle** · 09-01-2002, 11:09 PM

Heh... Well, if what I saw at Toys R Us was any indication... I think the TMNT are headed for mainstream media once again. A lot of the kids who opened up their Fox Boxes got really excited over the TMNT mini comic. I was surprised that some of them even knew who the Ninja Turtles were!! One little girl (about age 6 or 7) ran around her mother squealing over the Ninja Turtles. I think the next generation of kids are going to enjoy the TMNT as much as we did.

If the plots are from the Mirage comic series, I'm sure they'll be good. I'm kind of afraid that the new toon will be kind of humor-challenged though. (Think about seasons 7-10 of the old toon.) (And contrary to what Mr. Laird thinks, the old toon wasn't all slapstick and juvenile humor.)

**Karpo_007** · 09-02-2002, 09:57 AM

Yeah the old seris had really good episodes here and there... But I will always love the first season...

**Kali** · 09-02-2002, 01:30 PM

I have really high hopes for the new show. I've seen the fight scenes on MIB and Jackie Chan and they're really good and exciting. And given how they've discribed Mikey, I doubt we'll be wanting for better humor. But we'll have to see.

That is such a cute story, Azure.

**azure turtle** · 09-02-2002, 05:48 PM

Yep... I think the kids are in safe hands with the TMNT.

I really enjoy watching Jackie Chan Adventures... When I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be real corny. But the storylines are entertaining, the animation is cool, and the fight scenes are well done. Lots of comedy too, especially with Uncle. That guy is too funny.

All we can do now is hope that the new TMNT cartoon gets off the ground without any complications. And speculating about it is always fun.

If 4Kids has the Turtles lipsinc-ing to that weird theme song for the opening credits I don't know if I'll watch it

Hug your GU today!

**HorseTechie** · 09-03-2002, 09:10 AM

*blink* Whaa... ? I doubt that would be bad... I mean, *nothing* could be worse that Turtle Tunes or that Christmas Video the COOTS did.

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-03-2002, 09:51 AM

*sniff* I didn't get a FoxBox! I'll try today...

Personally, I'll watch it and tape it no matter what! I'll also be buying the action figures!

**Karpo_007** · 09-03-2002, 09:56 AM

I you don't like theme song and that is the reason you don't watch the show...

**azure turtle** · 09-05-2002, 12:29 PM

I think it's so funny how so many people despise the new theme song. I'm sure there were a lot of older people who thought the original theme was terrible or too corny. I grew up on that theme song, which is why I enjoy it, even though playing it annoys the hell out of my family. Kids who watch this new show will end up having the same feelings over the new theme song... It'll be their song, just like the original was ours.
