Did anyone else catch the Back to the Future reference? The news guy was saying "they found me, I dont know how but they found me!" is verbatim when the Libyans attack Doc Brown before Marty makes his jump.

It's cool that April is part of the team. But taking her along the mission to stop the Keanu from getting her DNA is loving stupid.

Well, to be fair - they didn't actually want to (Donnie aside). She just kept coming along regardless. Better to have her with them than sneaking in on her own behind them where she'd be alone.

She wasn't supposed to. When did the switch happen? Did I zone out when that was going on or was it purposefully unclear?

They told her to stay with Kurtzmann while they went in to TCRI. A few seconds later they're on the roof and she climbs up and joins them, asking what the plan is. They tell her to stay there and keep watch while they inflitrate and head off. She joins them again a few seconds later without a word. Leo gives up and just tells her to keep quiet.

Inkspot posted:Ha ha. I guess that's pretty ambiguous. I just thought she was annoyingly persistent. Well she is, but I imagine that's what the line of thought is supposed to be. If they keep moving ahead, she'll keep following and at some point probably end up on her own when she really couldn't afford to be. They'd either have to leave one of the guys behind to babysit her and keep her there or take her along. She seemed to realize she was in over her head for the moment though just before she got snatched, so maybe she'll have learned her lesson and leave off on going on missions till she's better trained and has control of her mental powers. tsob fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Oh, poo poo, I got Dr_Amazing's reply mixed up with Inkspot and thought Ink was asking when the Turtles decided to let April join them when he mentioned swtich for some reason. Didn't even realize it till now. Yea, Argue has the right of it.

I noticed they added Casey hanging out near the end of the intro now that he's been properly introduced. This episode was pretty cool, it was nice to see the writers acknowledge the giant gap in experience between the turtles and April. The only thing that bothered me was that she easily managed to take out several clones of herself when the turtles had problems taking care of one earlier.

Great. Now I'm picturing that thing with Elmyra's voice. Edit: New episode! If TMNT is sill a thing in another 30 years, I expect this will still be known as the series with the most body horror and gross-out humor. It fits, but it's a lot more prevalent here than anywhere I can remember. Walking mushrooms that emit fear gas is exactly the kind of thing I want to see the turtles fight. The Shining reference and extended Fantasia reference were unexpected and funny. It all came together as a nice Leonardo episode while still giving everyone their moments. And it was kind of a spiritual sequel to The Case of the Killer Pizzas. And it advanced the plot with the mutagen canisters. Perfect episode.

It bugs me that dozens of mutagen canisters being dropped all over the streets was supposed to be a huge disaster that the turtles needed to deal with ASAP, but somehow they have plenty of downtime to spend watching TV and just generally loving around in every episode since. I know the writers want the show to be very episodic, but that doesn't mean they had to virtually forget about the canisters...

He made a R2D2 noise when he overloaded right? Anyone else think it was weird that the plan went from, round up all the mutants to let the all go? Even the really dangerous ones like the squirrels and zombie wasps were released into the city.

That mushroom episode was one of the last episodes I worked on. We didn't have a CG model of the caves yet and the director had me do pretty much full color illustrations for every. single. panel, I assume to help sell the bizarre vibe they were going for to the network heads. It took a full week to add backgrounds to each shot, and once I was done? We get the final set design that looks gently caress-all like what I had drawn, so I spent another week going through and editing every panel. I think it was right about there that I started looking for another job...

First Mutagen Man, then Slash, now Metalhead. Makes sense that it would extend to the Krang-controlled mutants, too. Next episode with the ice cream cat looks, … interesting.

Teeeechnically you're supposed to ask the studio for permission, but the unspoken rule is that once the episode airs you can post boards from it. That said, I can't seem to find the boards I worked on here at home. Not that there's much I can show. As a revisionist, my work is done on top of other artists' work, and I wouldn't want to put it up without their permission. I did find one old file though. These were the thumbnails for the underwater episode, when Donnie explains that the Kraang are contaminating the water with mutagen. Originally the scene was supposed to be in the main part of the lair, but later they decided to move it to donnie's lab. They also added a beat where April gets splashed with mutagen, so basically everything I did got thrown out and redone (this would be a running theme throughout the first season)  404GoonNotFound posted:drat, sorry to hear about that? Are you free to talk about what you're working on now? Blink twice if you're in NDA hell. I'm storyboarding on Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja for Disney XD at the moment. More ninjas, yay! Funny enough, the voice of Shredder is also the voice of Viceroy on this show.

I just got to the mushroom episode and its got to be one of the best episodes across all tmnt media. I was surprised it did the whole drug induced hallucination angle for a show on Nick. Really glad this series turned out much better than 03's.

I ended up watching through to the fast forward future episodes because the first few seasons kinda had that comic feel. But when you have to resort to April and Casey's nerdy grandson and a gay robot butler giving them Johnny Quest missions and you just  and walk away. Splinter gets turned into computer code.

More watchable than the 80's show's a low bar. That 2012 has been bringing a lot of things from it back is downright audacious. I had previously heard nothing but praise for 2003, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who did not like it. Which is too bad because some of its ideas sound very interesting. The Utrom Shredder is actually a fantastic idea imo.

I haven't seen any of the 2003 series episodes since they originally aired, but I remember catching quite a few in the beginning and everything about it just felt "off" to me. I didn't like most of the character designs and the look of the show overall had a really bland style. The 2007 CG movie was much better, but it was never used it launch a new tv show. This Nick show is leaps and bounds better than the 2003 one. It's easily the best TMNT tv/movie adaption next to the original movie and the 2007 one.
