TMNT Talkback "Turtles Forever" (Spoilers)

[milaroo]

Previously, on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: After months of trawling cyberspace, the turtles manage to restore Master Splinter—just in time for Casey and April’s wedding, a celebration involving some of the turtles’ closest friends. Before the couple can tie the knot, however, The Cyber Shredder and his forces crash the party in his latest attempt to kill the turtles. He does not succeed. Casey and April tie the knot.

Previously, on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: A mission to steal an anti-mutagen ray from the Technodrome turns complicated, as Krang uses his new body to attack the turtles! However, thanks to Donny’s new Turtle Blimp, the tides quickly turn, and the Technodrome is banished to Dimension X.

Previously, on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: After defeating the Purple Dragons gang, Splinter tells his sons about the death of Hamato Yoshi at the hands of Oroku Saki, a.k.a. The Shredder, and how it indirectly led to their creation. He then gives them their lives’ mission, which the turtles carry out: Avenge Master Yoshi: kill Oroku Saki.

Previously, in real life: On a lark, comic book enthusiasts Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird create and publish a comic about four anthropomorphic adolescent terrapin martial artists. Unexpectedly, it becomes a huge hit, kick-starting a multi-million dollar franchise now on its 25th year and changing their lives forever.

Now: Searching for an advantage over the turtles, Krang and Shredder (a.k.a. “Uncle Phil”) venture to a parallel Earth—let’s call it Earth-03—to recruit Saki’s counterpart, a familiar Utrom stranded in an icy asteroid. However they were not alone: the turtles of their Earth have also made the trip with them! Now, the two set of turtles must team-up to stop two Shredders, the Foot Clan, mutants, mobile battle fortresses, and save the very fabric of the multiverse.

[???????????????? a???????t!a???]

Was anyone else thinking that letting 87 Donnie build a portal would turn out to be a bad idea? Near the end of the series, even the other Turtles dreaded when he pulled out his portal.

[Wannabe Chef.]

Not as it progressed. The final couple of seasons had much stronger continuity where things never went back the way they were before.

Shredder/Krang were defeated by the end of the old show. The Turtles Vs. Shredder wasn't still going on. The Technodrome was run down and pretty much abandoned in Dimension X.

This movie puts them in the thick of what the original toon was. I mean for goodness sakes, the Channel 6 building alone not being blown up is a dead give away. Its very likely the Season 3 era of the old show.



April left Channel 6 after Season 8 and became a freelance reporter. As for the banana thing, it was a joke as to how April is always getting captured. Besides, they never fought banana people in the old toon. Although they did fight killer pizzas.



It simply can't. The original toon had an ending. They even use Krang's Android body to defeat Lord Dregg at the end of the old show.

This is Season 3 era of the old toon Turtles. It can't be anything *but* Season 3.

So it seems Mirage still doesn't have the rights to use the original theme song from the 80's show.

Man, I hope Nick fully purchases the original cartoon from Fred Wolf, maybe that way the new CG series in 2012 could use the classic theme song.

We did get an explanation for how they got home, that was the first episode of Back to the sewer.

Well, "Nightmares Recycled" was all but finalized. If I remember correctly, it's only missing SFX and animation touchups. It'll be on 4kids.tv within the next year, probably as an unlockable reward for playing games and collecting points (just like they did with the full episode animatic to "Master Fighter 2105", which is currently available). Unfortunately, all of their video streams are only available to American IP addresses. Still, all 11 cancelled episodes appear to have been written out of continuity for one reason or another.

[IHYALEVEL2BlTCHES.]

Who voiced 80s Shredder in this?

[Yanqui Rojo en el Sur]

Hmm... I don't think this takes place right after the 5 episode pilot of the 80s cartoon. It COULD take place just about any time after that I suppose... though they do refer to them as the 88 characters.

I'm soooooo excited. Just 7 hours away for me!

[Unknowing]

Well, there's "Ninja Time!", Donnie's mention of having seen time windows, the future tech in the lair, and Splinter being present. Therefore, it must have happened after the events of "Wedding Bells and Bytes". Also, 4kids has even numbered the three episodes of "Turtles Forever" as the next after the thirteen Back to the Sewer eps.

That would be a serious case of sympathy for the devil. :P

Utroms are the disembodied head like creatures that you see piloting humanoid robot exoskeletons from the stomach or flying on hovering platters in the 4kids toon. I forget if there were any in the cartoon that weren't pink (aside from Ch'rell aka Utrom Shredder, who is red), but the videogames suggest that there were other colors, like yellow and orange. Krang's classic 'toon design was inspired by Utroms, but he isn't one. He was an alien warlord, supposedly called a Krangezoid, probably beheaded and had his brain banished to Earth.

Oh, but he was! ^_^ The 2K3 counterpart to Krang was an Utrom who was heard speaking and addressed only once in "Secret Origins" Part One. Who knows if he was ever seen again. Pink Utroms all look alike to me. 2K3 Krang hates walking on his tentacles, BTW. Classic 'toon Shredder couldn't find him in his Xoogle search for "Krang" just because it wasn't spelled in the Utrom language/character set.

[ajay prasad]

Even if the new show is going to be more light-hearted like the 80's toon, I wouldn't want them reuse the old theme. I'd like to hear new one that fits the new show.
