Toa Zaz Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Discuss the entire franchise (comics, TV show, movies, abominable-sounding Michael Bay remake) here.

BenLuke Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I remember really liking the 2003 cartoon. I should check out the original comics sometime, as they seem to have been re-released recently. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLuke Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Wait, you still buy individual issues?I never do that, when I buy comics it's always in collected from (assuming it was release in magazine from at all, a lot of what I read are standalone graphic novels).2003 cartoon was amazing, till fast forward happened.Eh, Flash Forward wasn't that bad, although my memory of it is spotty. To bad 4kids no longer had it available on their site, otherwise I'd rewatch it sometime. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerBolt Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I was never a really big TMNT fan, as I never really grew up with them and all their incarnations never appealed to me much. I remember enjoying the first live-action movie, but that's about it.However, the new Nickelodeon series coming out has grabbed my attention toy-wise and style-wise. Who knows, maybe I will become a bigger Turtle fan once that comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Zaz Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 It was good when it knew that it was a joke. With the '80s cartoon, and more so with the live-action movies, it started taking itself a little too seriously and stopped being fun (just stupid). The '03 series was okay because it became more serious, to the point of actually being fairly entertaining. Didn't see the '06 movie, but I probably wouldn't've liked it. ...Now the upcoming Michael Bay remake, on the other hand... X(. So, now, they're members of an ALIEN MOTHER@#$%*&% RACE. Seriously. If any origin story could be stupider than the existing one, this is it. Also, rumor has it that they're going to have the turtles be latex body suits with motion capture heads. It sounds godawful. This could top Transformers 2 in stupidity. Quote Thank you, BZPower staff. In the past, I wish I showed more appreciation for all that you do. From one Bionicle fan to another, thank you.

BenLuke Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The thing about the normal origin story is that it's awesome in it's absurdity. Making them aliens is just. . . generic. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerBolt Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The thing about the normal origin story is that it's awesome in it's absurdity. Making them aliens is just. . . generic.Should I also mention that they share the same origin as Daredevil? :PBut yeah, alien origin really is generic and it does eliminate the fun of baby turtles being hit with mysterious ooze.I shouldn't pass judgement yet though, the film could still be enjoyable. Have to wait for a trailer to see how they will market this sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
