Why couldn't they keep the Nick cast? It was perfect.

What am I even looking at right now.

>We're being respectful of the franchise

>Weird ass energy weapons
>Raph is the leader
>Leo is a "trickster"
>Ugly art-style
>Changing weapons

Yup, suuuuper respectful.

Most of the changes are just window dressing and don't mean much, but making Raph "the leader" and Leo "the trickster" is the most colossally bullshit thing. This is Venus de Milo levels of missing the point.

>but making Raph "the leader" and Leo "the trickster" is the most colossally bullshit thing
No more bullshit than making April objectively unattractive.

Always a good sign.

I know pixel cuck is too much of a wet sponge to stand up against a toy company, but has anyone else directly insulted the new designs to the showrunners yet? If so, what is their response?

Ever notice how most incarnations of TMNT hate Bebop and Rocksteady?

Laird hated the 80's cartoon pretty passionately, which is why none of the material from it popped up in subsequent iterations of TMNT until he sold the franchise to Viacom.

Now Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang are fucking everywhere. They were in the 2012 cartoon, they're in the IDW comic, they even made it into the 2014 Paramount movie.

funny thing.

Rob Paulsen is voice directing this show.

Remember when paul feig said something similar at first about fembusters, and then went crazy and started insulting everyone as a misogynist after all the complaints. I wonder if the criticism will break any of these theee fuckers the same and theyll get insulting and offended on social media in a similar way.

Ignoring 2003 turtles again. It’s a sad world we live in when the best turtles cartoon is the least liked.

Based laird hating the shit show that started the decline of the turtles.

>hurr look how edgy i am hating on an actually good tv show and characters because its not like my edgy comcis turtles
I cant stress this enough, take a long walk off a short pier and never post here again.

Eastman was always more accepting of different versions of the turtles, while Laird was more persnickety.

The way Laird tells it, Eastman kind of browbeat Laird into approving Venus de Milo because Saban wouldn't greenlight Next Mutation without her and it was the straw that broke the camel's back on their friendship. Eastman sold his share of TMNT to Laird not long after that.

Fuck man, didn’t mean to hit such a sensitive nerve. I’m sorry that not everybody loves ur shitty childhood show.

Also the oj comics are objectively better than all the shows and I never said the turtles had to be serious and edgy to be good, I just said the first cartoon was trash. True patricians know that 2003 turtles is the best turtles cartoons.

Finally, I’ll fucking fight you if you message me disagreeing instead of apologising.

Eastman is a filthy sellout. Laird has my respect. But at the same time i’d probably do the same thing as Eastman sell my franshise for money if ever I made something that became big.

rest in peace sweet prince(ss)

87 turtles were god tier and you seriously need to end your miserable excuse of an existence if you disagree.

I wish they were more tongue-in-cheek about nerd rage. Just as long as its not TTGo levels of smugness.

Hey, you better take back what you just said or ur done for mate.

They really need to stop making April a kid

Wait, what? I thought 2003 was the favorite series?

It's cool that you're nostalgic for it but the 80's cartoon is trash, dude. The pilot season is the best the show ever was.

The writing was lazy and derivative, the animation was horrendous, and there were tons of small mistakes where the wrong turtle would be speaking or there would be two Donatellos on screen. It was a crappy show shoved out the door to sell toys.

That's not the biggest problem of the picture, but the fact that apparently 80's was made in 1984. Also, the logo that they have put above 1987 is actually used to sell old 80's toys

>I wish they were more tongue-in-cheek about nerd rage.
How about they dont faggot
All the life energy i wasted on those videos...

No, everybody hates it for some reason. I’ll never understand why. And a lot of the people who grew up watching the first cartoon seem to think it’s too serious or edgy.

I think the 2003 series has some legal issues where they can't really reference or promote it too much. I know for a fact they can't get any of the VAs for it in a crossover because they were non-union.

...

With KrangShredder? No thanks

Well that sucks. And if that’s the case the worst part about not being able to acknowledge it is that it’ll be completely forgotten at one point and future interactions of the turtles will probably avoid using it as a source of influence.

It’s not a perfect show but it did so much else right. Plus you can’t deny before being revealed as a utrom, 2003 shredder as pretty badass.

>We're being respectful of the franchise
>Changed characters personalities
>Turned splinter into that... thing.

*teenager

*nigger

Not really, no. But to each their own.

>Turned splinter into that... thing.
Its called down syndrome and you wil be fucking respectful shitlord

Oh shit what if he looks like a goblins because he does actually have Down syndrome in the show because the writers wanted to go full sjw

*porch monkey

Utrom Shredder made total sense in the context of the show (his feud with the guardians was foreshadowed super early) and it suited the more sci-fi feel the show had, but yeah I wasn't a huge fan of it.

I loved Utron Shredder. People hated that twist?

>TMNT
>centered in anything but lodsamone

How naive of you, Sup Forums

Being an alien made him more cool to me. I dont understand why that triggers so many people. Its not like a twist like the mandarin when it made something less cool then it really is.

I hated it because it made the show more sci fi and less ninja, and I hate when tmnt shows do that. There needs to be an even balance of ninja, sci fi and teenage slice of life in tmnt.

>the fucking hair pieces
Kek, but why though?

Jesus Christ, is that the quality standard that the new toys will have? Disgusting.

Shredder is best as a normal human.

In your eyes.

Well you're wrong, but hey, opinions, man

Laird was the guy that favored the more sci-fi tinged stories, while Eastman was more about the gritty street level stories. 2K3 was closely supervised by Laird and his influence can be seen very clearly.

Yes

Ninja shitbis the most boring aspect of TMNT though, the mutants and sci fi stuff is the only great parts

That’s why I said there needs to be an even balance. Too much ninja stuff would suck. Also there’s nothing stopping decent writers from making ninja bits that don’t suck.

But even the scifi shit becomes too much and it thus turns to shit.

Incorrect.

Damn, that's awesome. Is this his first time directing? Maybe a start of a new path for him, hope he's successful.

Its never actually gritty or cool in the cartoons though

True. The cartoons are made for kids. If they're good enough for adults to like them that's a bonus but they're ultimately made to sell toys.

I'll be waiting for it.

Sauce?

>what is filename

Tales of the TMNT v2 #36

Tristan Jones's run on Tales was fucking amazing. And when he was paired up with Paul Harmon it was even better. Some of the best TMNT comics ever made.

I wonder what Super Shredder is gonna look like? You can tell how great a TMNT adaptation is from how cool their Super Shredder looks.

Yeah, thats why i prefer all the crazy sci fi stuff in them.

You know, I wanted to get into the original comics but the space stuff is really fucking annoying to me.
I'm assuming if I skip over the issues with all that sci-fi alien garbage, I'm going to miss the plot when they return to Earth?

I just want to read more stuff with the Foot and Karai and Casey Jones and stuff. Not "we're magical space ninjas!"

Secret History of the Foot Clan is my fav TENT book.

>I'm assuming if I skip over the issues with all that sci-fi alien garbage
I want to punch you in the nads for making me this angry from the awfulness of your views, i hope youre happy

>I know for a fact they can't get any of the VAs for it in a crossover because they were non-union.

God I hate the VA Union leaders.

It's not interesting to me.
I enjoyed the Utrom stuff in TMNT 2003. I didn't enjoy their adventures on the Triceritron homeworld

It's going to be shit

As long as they heavily fetishize April's ass every episode all other sins will inevitably be forgiven.

The thing with the Utroms and the trip into space is really the only huge sci-fi thing that happens in the Eastman and Laird material. I think it's four issues altogether? Most everything else is more grounded ninja stuff, except for maybe Donatello's microseries issue.

So for the most part, Vol.1 takes places all on Earth apart from those two storylines?
I can slog through it in that case.

Add
>Fat splinter
That makes me angrier than everything else.

Don't forget to read Tales of the TMNT v1 while they're on the farm.

Hun is shit so he'll probably make it in the new series.

I liked Hun. Until they reduced him to generic "lolz crud I fell!" garbage.
He was a good opposite for Casey. Then again both of them got switched to "lolz comedy classic" characters

I love the insane bastard. Ch'rell resorting to destroy the multiverse just to get rid of the turtles is a level of petty even Black Manta strives for.

Unions in general were a mistake. They seem like good ideas at first but they go horribly wrong.

Calm down, nerd. Here, watch this video. It's Batman-focused, but you could use it as well.

youtube.com/watch?v=d6UDEi8H43M

Love that adult manchildren who can't get over the shitty toy commercials they liked when they were four are still so involved that they sabotage the shitty toy commercials of the next generation.

Hun becoming Casey’s dad in the Idw series was the coolest thing to happen to the character

I loved how he just kept mutilating stockman every time he fucked up

That black dudes hat makes me think the opposite.
They're going to push all the agenda.

>Skip 2003
>No Mirage logo
>1987 in Mirage spot

They desrve to be sabotaged for being shit. Also fuck you for using the “lol manchildren grow up” excuse when MCU and star wars are trying their best to appeal to grown normies and ruin them to appeal to their awful entertainment preferences

yo fags i want to get into the turtles where do i start?

As a Japanese human

Otherwise, like Utrom Shredder and pre-reshoots White Shredder, they're weeaboos

>Leaving out the best cartoon of the series
Are they just jealous that they can never match the 2003 turtles?

>and pre-reshoots White Shredder
I thought the whole white shredder was always just a rumor

niggangelo is kind of hot

It worked for Wolverine and the X-men.

That or 80sfags controlling everything so they force you to think the stupid toy commercial they grew up with is the only incarnation of the entire franchise 1984-style.

That show was awful.

So they did designed the turtles to look black now, god this is going to fail spectacularly...

Eastman stopped caring about TMNT after the movie deal; he used the money made off the first cartoon and toy line, to buy Heavy Metal and turned it into a godless porno comic to promote his trophy wife's failed modeling career and the movie deal basically gave him enough money to stop giving a shit about the original comic.

Partly because Eastman realized that the original vision of the franchise was overwritten in the minds of the public with the cartoon and decided to just roll with it. Laird was the one who never fucking forgave the 87 cartoon for becoming "THE" version of the franchise in the minds of everyone.

Eric Sachs = Oroku Saki

Replacement Shredder wasn't even named.

Also the tie-in game or something didn't separate them

Actually that show worked (and I use "worked" loosely here) because of everything else. Cyke and Wolvie were WASTED on that mess. Wolverine could barely use his claws.
