The first movie was based on the comic books more than the TV show. Just like how the early seasons of the TV show more closely resembled the comic books as well. That's part of the reason for Casey Jones playing a prominent role in the movie and in the early part of the show, as he has a big role in the comics. Now, what winds up happening is the second and third movies move away from the comics and create their own storyline. At the same time, the TV show does the same thing. So basically, there's 3 different TMNT story lines going at the same time. One's a comic, one's an animated show and the third is live action movies. Eventually, the movies peter out and the TV show comes to an end. An attempt is made at a live action TV show which also has it's own unique storyline and that bombs after one season. Then, after 6 years, a new show is started in 2003 that promises to follow the comic storyline. And it has done that pretty well and remained popular. I can't even believe it's been on the air almost 7 years now. The original TV show lasted 10 seasons, though the last two were only like 8 episodes a piece (at it's height, Season 5 was 35 episodes long).
Unfortunately, Eastman and Laird had a falling out a few years back and I think Laird bought all the rights from Eastman (I might have that backwards).
Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket! :P

Am I the only one that knows this reference?
No, but some references should just fade away.
*GASP!* Are you speaking blasphemy of my cherished childhood heroes?!
I love the turtles. I just hated the first movie. Way too much Casey Jones.
I didn't think it was that bad. If anything it was a pretty good translation of the comics for what could be done at the time. Jim Henson company did a good job with it I thought.
As a translation it's fine. I just have an irrational hatred of the Casey Jones character.
Geez, G&T takes their Nintendo defense pretty seriously.
You think thats bad, don't even say anything about bayonetta.
The best part is I like my Wii. I enjoy the games I have on it. But third party games don't sell well on the Wii, unless you're some mini-game collection or Mario Kart.
Apparently this is equivalent to saying the system is shit from a butt.

I'm pretty sure you're right with Eastman buying up the rights but if I recall he's now gone and sold them to Nickelodeon.
Anyone else see the cgi movie they did (for TMNT?) I didn't think it was too bad, had decent voice acting and animation. April as a ninja was a bit of a stretch but you know I'll live with that.

Man the system is poop like from a butt. I haven't turned mine on in literally years.
Like, we had one, it got stolen, we bought a new one with insurance money, and have turned it on maybe three times since?
The Wii is a fantastic system assuming you don't like to play video games.

I like my Wii as well, but I admit I mostly just use it for exercise, which isn't a bad thing really as the ones I have for it give me a decent work out at a lower cost.

I thought it was a pretty good movie. April being a ninja was a bit odd but overall I thought it was well done. That and we finally saw a good Raph/Leo fight.

There's more to this.
Eastman and Laird wanted to do Bebop and Rocksteady for the second turtles movie, and have that scientist be like Krangs brother or something, basically an alien in disguise, but at this point the comics and toys were much further ahead than the comic books, and the studio really put the clamps over the creators and that's why we had the ninja rap.
That's when eastman and laird started falling out from the studios. Their original position was that "okay, we know that it's kid friendly, but we're keeping the comics our baby, and that's what matters..." but eventually that just wasn't the case.
So onto TMNT3....
Well, there's no official reasoning as to why it sucked, but basically Lloyd Kaufman (the toxic avenger fame) stated in his book that the studios only bought the rights to the toxic crusaders to strong arm eastman and laird into backing a third ninja turtle movie after the fallout from the second one, stating "we can always get another property"
edit: according to wiki, when Kaufman discovered this, along with the fact that they were never going to make a toxic crusaders movie, he actually sued the studios and won. So go him.

I thought they handled it well, they even seemed to take it right after the first movie. And the turtles worked good in CGI since then they could do all their crazy shit without having to deal with bulky costumes. And raph vs leo was great.

the guy with the Bayonetta ass sig who responds to anything in that thread in 2 seconds creeps me out
Klyka? We had a videogame show over here in which they played a clip form a total psycho. A significant number of people here were genuinly convinced it was Klyka.
Geez, G&T takes their Nintendo defense pretty seriously.

I did, I was all "This game is trash" and they flipped a shit.
Hi-5 Ronaldo. I did the same thing.
They flipped out less than I was expecting though, maybe because I am a mod?
Aw hell who am I kidding? None of the G&T regulars bother clicking on D&D more than once.
I wanna go in there and do this, now. Would I get infracted for trolling?
Not by me. But then I am not a G&T mod.
G&T has some rules against what they call "thread-shitting" which sometimes apparently means "showing anything other than deep admiration for the subject of a thread." I don't really get it, but I guess it's best to respect their customs to a reasonable degree.
I can't imagine that you would be infracted for expressing polite disagreement.

On Brooker's show? I thought that guy had a Russian accent.
I went into the Dante's Inferno thread and basically said it sucked and that GoW was better, but since that seems to be the general opinion of the game, no one flipped their shit. I wanna see what people do when I say Bayonetta sucks, cause it did.

There was one post in the thread after I posted of a dude who was like "man are people going to keep complaining about the game? I thought we had driven all of those people out like 50 pages ago."
It was kind of illustrative of how G&T people expect their threads to go.

This is why I like Will. He's good people. That and he's actually been out to this part of Canada and didn't say it was a backward hicktown (Even though the vast majority of this part of the country is).

I mean, I liked God Hand, so I'd probably like the game
But Way of the Samurai 3 is just so much more tempting
Yes it is mighty uncommon for all the clouds to break over most of your country at the same time.

You're a good man, Zen. Stick to your convictions and ignore boob-based gameplay.
I'm pretty sure you're right with Eastman buying up the rights but if I recall he's now gone and sold them to Nickelodeon.
i wanna read a flip out.
Ehh, in your case nobody really flipped out except that one guy and then everyone else told him to chill.
