Dr. Hurt posted:Everyone knows the best turtle is Donatello. Raphael was too much of a hot head, Leonardo was boring, and Michelangelo was a lame stoner. Donatello may not be the strongest turtle, but he uses his strengths the best. It led to one of my favorite mashup songs, "Got Yourself Sewer Surfin" by MasDaMind. The thing I love about the current series is that the writers looked at the old cartoon and wondered, "Why would the ninja master and the alien warlord be teaming up? They should be at war with each other!" And that's what IDW's series is. A shitload of evil factions going to war with each other while the Turtles are stuck in the middle, trying to do the right thing.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The fifth Turtle was originally going to be called Kirby and appear in the fourth live action film "TMNT 4: The Next Mutation" (so named because the original four Turtles and Splinter would undergo secondary mutations - Donnie would become a telepath, Raph was going to turn into a monstrous beast with fangs and claws, etc) but the third film was so god awful that it killed the movie franchise for 14 years until the 2007 CGI film came out. I honestly don't know which terrible never-made sequel I would have rather seen: TMNT4 or Batman Triumphant starring Howard Stern as Scarecrow. Maybe Triumphant because it was supposed to have Jack Nicholson show up during one of Batman's fear gas freakouts.

BioTech posted:Bought the first TPB on a whim last month. I liked the Turtles as a kid, watched the cartoon, played the games, etc. but it didn't leave an impression on me the way Transformers did. The series really kicks in once the Foot shows up. The main problem with the series is that they released Micro-Series issues that get their own trade and sometimes the reading order is pretty important. Here's a good reading order list I found, although Infestation 2 isn't at all important: TMNT #1 TMNT #2 TMNT #3 TMNT #4 TMNT #5 Mirco-series #1: Raphael Micro-series #2: Michelangelo TMNT #6 Micro-series #3: Donatello Infestation 2: TMNT #1 Infestation 2: TMNT #2 TMNT #7 TMNT #8 Micro-series #4: Leonardo TMNT #9 TMNT #10 Micro-series #5: Splinter/TMNT #11 TMNT #12 Micro-series #6: Casey Jones TMNT #13 TMNT #14 TMNT 2012 Annual Micro-series #7: April O'Neil TMNT #15 TMNT #16 Micro-series #8: Fugitoid TMNT #17 TMNT #18 TMNT #19 TMNT #20 Villain Micro-series #1: Krang Villain Micro-series #2: Baxter Secret History of The Foot Clan #1 Secret History of The Foot Clan #2 Secret History of The Foot Clan #3 Secret History of The Foot Clan #4 TMNT #21 Villain Micro-series #4: Alopex TMNT #22 Villain Micro-series #3: Old Hob/TMNT #23 TMNT #24 Villain Micro-series #5: Karai TMNT #25 Villain Micro-series #6: Hun/TMNT #26 Villain Micro-series #7: Bebop and Rocksteady TMNT #27 TMNT #28 Villain Micro-series #8: Shredder TMNT #29 Utrom Empire #1 TMNT #30 Conspiracy: TMNT #1 TMNT #31 TMNT #32 Ones that share a line on that list are ones that take place roughly at the same time.

Lurdiak posted:Uh, if you mean the 80s cartoon turtles, they were goofy stereotypes from the get-go. They still go a little too far into that direction to the point that instead of four characters, they're all just Michelangelo with different eye masks. That and the replacement voices are my only complaints about that movie.

Inkspot posted:Koya's got a cool design, and the splash with the motorcycle was awesome, but the stuff with April's dad isn't near as interesting as the stuff with Casey's. It will be once he starts living in the sewers and talking to rats. ...I have no basis for this theory.

Action Tortoise posted:I always compared the turtles to different aspects of Batman, like that one Brave and the Bold episode where he's split into different parts. Michelangelo's the Batman who eats nachos. Michelangelo's the Batman who makes sure that everything he uses is either bat-shaped or has his logo on it.

For anyone with good knowledge on the Archie series, are there any characters who debuted in that who have anything to do with the IDW series? I was going to say Slash, but some research shows that he kind of showed up everywhere at once. He had his own action figure in the 1990 series, his debut in the Archie series was dated in August 1990 and his TV debut was September 1990.

I did an article on the vast history of Ninja Turtles crossovers and the research made me realize that I've been missing out by not reading Flaming Carrot Comics. The Carrot/Raphael team-up was so much fun. It also meant that I finally had to force myself to watch the TMNT/Power Rangers crossover. It was far, far worse than I ever could have imagined. It felt like the kid from Axe Cop wrote it, but during a sick day.

I'm more surprised Bebop and Rocksteady are actually competent enough to succeed in this continuity.
