The “It’s always been political” argument since 2015 is as much a blight on current day fandom discussion as groomers, predators, corporatisation of geek fandoms and the use of “skill issue” as retorts on bad game designs. A real weaselly copout answer to shut down any real nuanced discussions of being had and often a get out of jail free card to justify absolute slop by people who have no business being attached to the series. Coming from the same people crying about gatekeepers... While hypocritically doing the gatekeeping themselves.

I love your content dude. Always got the best TMNT takes

I’m surprised this video was even made.

Mutant Mayhem is kinda overrated, yes they're teenagers, definitely mutants, but the ninja element isn't fleshed out like at all! And the turtles don't really work on their own, like they're always together but they should've been alone for a moment in any chance for a much more better dynamic.

Name of new music you use for your intros because I like it

Curious, what is the song that you use for your intros? Great videos, by the way.

What does mutagen man’s feelings about wanting to be human not matter anymore?! Dude is in constant pain and agony wanting to kill himself because of his mutation! And this comic basically says he should be happy that’s he stuck in his painful experience

Love this comic!

The 1980s comics are a "bit" darker than the movies. Some of them are worth RIDICULOUS money in good condition.

I had a local shop that charged extra for variant covers off the rack. Like one of the relaunch TMNT variants was $15

I would love to see more discussions on Peter's thoughts and involvements on the 2003 series and how it changed through fast forward, back to the sewer and what he thought of Turtles Forever

As an aside, April's curly hair in the original comics wasn't even her natural hair style originally too, she literally got a perm in one of the issues. But I digress.

I know you know this tatoruzu, but I have the mirage version of this book😎 great video BTW

Great Video but to let you know, it's not as strange as you think it is. Most big profit movies sooner or later got comic adaptations. I remember the two things that got me into comics were reading them and the Archie Turtles. I read Terminator 2 before I saw the movie. I mean nearly everyone had one, from Friday the 13th to the Goonies. It was a common practice.

The couple you see on the panel where Raph came out of "Batdude" is Jim Lawson and his wife Kathy as an Easter Egg Wink Wink along with Steve Lavigne as one of the punks Casey takes down in the next panels. Once Definitive Films releases the Blu Ray set with the extras; we will see all the deleted/unused footage of the 1990 film. I can't wait!

As a child I had an oversized colored version of the book translated into german. Back then it was called “Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles”, as it was commonly known in Europe. I remember thinking it was strange that it was so different from the cartoons.

I know. I bought it when it was current.

some people don't even know that April's hairstyle was a perm, which made it curly, which a perm was popular in the 80's and not just black women had, women of all races had perms in the 80's

All women in the 80s had perms just look a cher back in the 80s she is clearly white

This is my favorite movie. It has everything I love about movies. Seeing the movie adapted into the comic brings it full circle. It's the comic, based on the movie, based on the comics. Seeing scenes that were cut from the original script is very cool. It's like reading a movie novelization and getting extra insight you couldn't get from the movie.

Just snagged a copy on eBay. I had this as a kid and completely forgot about this issue.

Maybe your comic book shops are terrible buy the ones I have visited are very nice and treat me with respect so if you think all comic shops suck you need to look again and look deeper (and maybe try posting positive shot for once!

Will you review the TMNT x Naruto/ Stranger Things crossovers on your channel?? I would like to hear you insight.

fat black april sucks.... turning a white character black sucks, making a black version of a white character sucks... so much energies wasted on race and not on actual story building. and that's why nobody's buying comics sept cover scalpers and ppl who think fan fiction is actual writing...

Oh wow I didn't know Chris from comic tropes said that about April

I think unfortunately they’ll never ever release a 4K version. If they didn’t release one this year 2024 making it their 40th anniversary

It's definitely one of my favorite movies

11:54 that scene was shot for the 1990 film in still images of raph catching casey in an alley but left on the cutting room floor

10:54 that scene was actually shot for the film with elias koteas watching tv with his mask on the table but it was left on the cutting room floor the turtle power 2 documentary showed this lost footage

Am I the only one who wants Mirage Studios to Come back if IDW loses The TMNT comic?

Release the steve barron cut

I wish they put the deleted scenes back in the movies in HD

They pulled casey jones mirage origin from the 1990 film where he sits in his apartment watching news and they removed an opening with ernie reyes jr being ambushed by a biker gang and shredder punishing the muggers at their failure and they added orroku nagi from the novelization of the movie

I got both 1990 comics it's two versions of the comic with different panels i even got secret of the ooze comic

No sabía que tenía una adaptación a cómic de la película, es muy bonito,jo..lo quiero🐢

There’s a parody comic of the movie and it’s also hilarious

Honestly it’s a lightning in a bottle. We also have to thanks the mothers for ruining the sequel and/or sequels

Nice vid ❤

Keep up the great work. I love the turtles. Maybe a top best arcs video?

Very fascinating. Great video

I get your point and respect your opinion but I think calling Rise a TMNT Version of Teen Titans go is bit harsh yes at the beginning it’s goofy VERY goofy and the humor is not for everyone but IMO it’s nothing like TTG what Rise does is to have the turtles rise to there status quo and having the show go darker when there at the status quo. I main problem I personally got with Rise is that the shift feels kinda fast and that’s because Nick didn’t have faith in it and cancelled the show before people got used to it I mean the 2012 wasn’t that well liked at first but Nick had faith in that one I think if Rise got it’s planned 3 seasons and came out a bit later (since it came 9 months after the 2012 show ended) it could have really connected with more TMNT fans and have more people respect it as part of the Franchise of course not liking Rise is fine I mean they’re is probably someone out there who doesn’t like the OG Mirage comics and for some reason prefers the next mutation or smt. I DEFINITELY aggre that some Rise Fans who only like Rise and trash everything else of TMNT aren’t really fans of TMNT but to say that Rise is a waste of Space and to basically detach it from the rest of the franchise feels kinda harsh to me but hey that’s just my opinion.

Yeah I don’t like the kind that is described in #5, I go there to look at and possibly buy comics not look at a bunch of people playing Magic the Gathering and only a small selection of actual comics are available.

It's interesting that the entity that is the spiritual representation of the mammals and also the antagonist of this story is a rat like creature. Also, the mammals seen attacking the Father of Reptiles are also very rat like. The Turtle's mentor Splinter is, of course, also a rat like creature since he was a rat mutated by the same ooze that created the Turtles. Is there perhaps a specific parallel or theme between the mammals and Splinter in this story?

According to modern scientists; it was actually birds who ruled the world before mammals, because dinosaurs evolved into birds, and so therefore are apparently not reptiles

This was my very first TMNT issue when I started collecting the Mirage comics, and it is still my all time favorite story. Thank you so much for this video!

I am a big fan of this story line. But I have to admit that it's primarily because of the art.🤩The story is fine and could have been a bit more narrative for my taste. The ending in particular left me wondering a bit.🤔But maybe I just didn't think hard enough about the topic like you did.😅
