Booyakasha, friends. Let's Talk Turtle.

That song is wrong.

I kinda like it.

It's a nice call back to the 1980's TMNT. Infact the show itself feels like a shout out to it. I'm still waiting for modern incarnations of Bebop and Rock Steady to appear.

*shrug* It grows on you. This is a TMNT show, cheesy super radical opening is like a requirement.

Unless we get a Turtles Forever 2, I don't think they're ever going to appear on this show. Shredder already has his two mutant flunkies for this incarnation anyways, Fishface and Dogpound.

*cue argument over whether or not Raph is "cool but crude" or "cool but rude" in the lyrics of the TMNT theme song*

In the vein of making posts that are likely to cause a small riot, remember that time the Archie TMNT comic talked about Islam in a completely respectful manner while featuring a fully detailed picture of the prophet Muhammad's face and no one got hurt?

Yeah, actually, though I'd forgotten that. That was pretty sweet.

The Archie comics series was really interesting; it varied wildly from being awesome to being... uh... "strange" with a hint of interesting.

(Though I also remember their actual crossover with Archie. I mean the Archie comics actually having a crossover with Archie... comics... crew... people. Like the guy who has all the girl problems and a friend named Jughead. They met the turtles. Because the turtles were spat out of a flying cow's head.

... I... don't remember why they were there in the first place.)

If I recall, though, the turtles spin-off series, Mighty Mutanimals went straight from, "kind of okay/could be cool" to "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG CANNOT UN-SEE!!!!!!!!!!" requiring-heavy-doses-of-brain-bleach-to-continue-functioning territory.

It was totally "Raphael is cool, but rude!", by the way (though he never really lived up to that statement).

Not only was that pre-Iraq, the response to the Danish drawings was what, protests and death threats? Not exactly a big deal. I think Western media blew it out of proportion.

Maybe Danes aren't used to getting death threats. American comic book artists get several a day so they don't even care.

Yeah, but it's just not the same. Although I did get a kick out of how dog pound (before he was mutated) was basicly an expy of Chuck Norris.

Nin, I'm not upset that you bought this up again, I'm just disappointed

[Intern Nin]

I don't care!~
