"I don't want to spoil The Last Ronin. Also it's Michelangelo."

[@the_jones528]

Fucking bruh levels at maximum

[@GamingAnimator1]

"I don't wanna spoil The Last Ronin" Literally reveals who the last ronin is lol.

[@marcusyates3044]

Heroes in the Half-Shell! Turtle Power! 🐢🐢🐢🐢💙💜❤🧡🍕🛹🎮⚔

[@doomgod314]

Missed one 💛

[@jimi7635]

I was born in 83 and of all the superheroes TMNT has always been my favorite till this day, so happy to see that they finally reached the popularity they deserve,Turtle power

[@laveos82]

Can’t believe it’s been 40 years! I’m 42 and remember when they came out but for me, I think they gained more popularity a few years later. I have all the action figures still! Always loved them, especially their 90’s movies and the one with Vanilla Ice was everything for me!

[@BarbadosBeerFestival]

Same feeling here

[@vishalparmar8211]

@variant I just want to thank you guys for continuing to publish great content and not posting a Deadpool & Wolverine review before any of us regular people even had a chance to watch the movie. Wish other YT channels were as considerate.

[@bruhgang6862]

I saw that lmao, seeing it this Sunday

[@variant]

Happy to be of service! 😎

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Since we're celebrating Dragon Ball's 40th anniversary, the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers Dino Thunder, the 20th anniversary of Captain America: the Winter Soldier, Transformers 40th anniversary, We're celebrating TMNT's 40 anniversary.

[@Keverything99]

The 10th anniversary of winter soldier it was 2014

[@sovan7050]

My heart broke when I first read the last ronin comics

[@JuanaMendoza-l8x]

Man the fact that Mikey was the last ronin was perfect the good hearted one gets his heart challenged

[@akashdey9030]

I heard the last ronin is getting a game adaptation.

[@jamiedeering3400]

I think the idw run that's just ended is the best version of the TMNT. Also I really hope you cover the TMNT x Naruto mini series

[@6thRanger]

Grew up loving Raph, started to understand Leo more as i got older. Always loved Donny and Mikey. 💙❤️💜🧡

[@Biblecmpvictm]

I LIKE TURTLES

[@alessandroortiz379]

I love Teenage mutant ninja turtles. The 2007 movie planted my love and the 2012 cartoon grew it

[@Keverything99]

The 2012 is my favorite

[@Beymaster20247]

I can’t wait for the last ronin video game

[@Takarr]

The Last Ronin is PERFECTION. 10/10

[@BusinessOfFear]

Return to New York? City at War? Missed two of the legitimately best TMNT stories ever made.

[@craigwoodhouse3813]

Can't believe you left out city at war and return to New York

[@michaellombardi1620]

Whoa, that power rangers crossover looks awesome!

[@rawtaa8591]

The new idw telling of city fall (Book 3) has been my personal favourite.

[@MoistSock22]

The Last Ronin is my favorite comic besides Predator vs Wolverine and Darth Vader in current comics

[@dylanogg347]

Don't forget the Animated Shows! It's NINJA TIME!

[@abareamphibia6812]

The tmnt power rangers crossovers were amazing and a must read for a fan of both franchises

[@ThePyroKnight]

They're amazing!

[@mitchbray6637]

My favorite Ninja Turtles Comic will always be the very first appearance of Casey Jones from the Mirage Micro series from 1985 and a sentimental favorite is issue 9 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures from Archie Comics. I wish I had that second one.

[@yandielechevarria7236]

ARRIS!!!!!!! DROP A BREAKDOWN FOR THE TNMT RE-EVOLUTION SERIES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!

[@Randall31]

“I don’t want to spoil anything for you guys” oh the last ronin is Mikey 🤡

[@VideoGamesAndTheWorld]

TMNT Mutant Mayhem: We look like the Spider-Verse, but we have a blend of fun and action Rise of the TMNT: More action and fun than Teen Titans Go! TMNT IDW comics: Edgy and dark, and has fun as well. It's very epic as well TMNT 2014: This and its sequel are not as bad as expected, at least they're not aliens. TMNT 2012: Balanced between light and dark themes TMNT 2007: An underrated gem that blends the style of the live action movie and the comics TMNT 2003: It's pretty edgy, but it doesn't forget the fun TMNT 1990: Just like the comics and the best live action TMNT adaptation ever TMNT 1987: Cowabunga dude! Let's go for some pizza! TMNT 1984: You're about to get murdered

[@SupermanFan2002]

Awesome Dude! 👍❤️👏

[@FrikinTreats]

Loved the vid! When are you getting back to the fail safe storyline?

[@colelongshaw1332]

Just found Batman VS TNMT go watch now.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?

[@edwardtdm123]

I am honestly curious as to what Raphael did that landed him in prison and making a deal with the warden.

[@ScottWaa]

I wish Last Ronin held back who the survivor was until later into the series.

[@jamesknight8233]

Well I got to say one of the best Teenage mutant ninja turtles stories ever told Well the besides the movies but they good such as the 1990 tmnt movies, TMNT 2007 movie, Batman vs tmnt, tmnt turtles forever and tmnt mutant mayhem, but I’m talking about the comics Tmnt mirage comic books by Eastman and Laird, Tmnt idw comics, Batman/tmnt by James Tynion iv and Freddie William ii, usagi yojimbo/tmnt comic and tmnt the last ronin this tmnt comic is really best and I’ll be looking to get this new tmnt comic.🥷🥷🥷🥷🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀🥋🏒💀👩🧪🍕🍕🍕🍕

[@bloodzerox20]

[@saintzeroinfinity]

🩵

[@shawnw9301]

💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Are you going to do history of the Supreme Intelligence, Ronan the Accuser, Dar-Benn and Ael-Dan who all played a major role in The Marvels movie? Are you going to do history of Jentorra, Kryler(played by Bill Murray), Multiple Man, Cassie Lang as Stature/Stinger and the city of Chronopolis in honour of the Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumainia movie?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of DC Despero since he is one of the biggest Justice League Villians from the Comics?

[@Sir_8701]

I dont know what goes on out there. Halloween is not a full body suit for me. Law matters. They never bring up the Final Council

[@AndrewDavis-sj6mb]

TMNT I gotta get back watching cause' since Mutant MAYHEM I want to watch all the FRANCHISE

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you please do history of DC OMAC along with the Reach who are the aliens who created the Scarabs in honor of the release of the Blue_Beetle movie?

[@LeoLaRock]

I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Power Ranger 5 parrt crossower comics

[@p00lboy]

?last ronin live action!? i might cry

[@Nerd-Baker]

I read the first issue and it's dope 🔥🤯👍👌0:26

[@quentinfogger5755]

Would a live action version of the Last Ronin be exciting and worth watching since it involves the death of our heroes?

[@iamawesome4026]

I actually have the best of TMNT volume 1 collection

[@juwankelsaw5195]

Hope yall talk about the TMNT and Naruto crossover as well soon.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw these stories being adapted on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@bruceaskew2107]

Rip tmnt 😞

[@CyRilOnYouTube]

12:32 Is it only me wondering how he got the jumpsuit between his back and his shell

[@liltaytjakid26]

A live action. 🎉🎉🎉🎉. I’m shocked.

[@Thefrayenters]

I mean duhhh lol - jk but yeah seriously 😂

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which one of these stories of the TMNT is the best? Who is the best character of each of these stories?

[@TheBlazeProject1]

Nice

[@TheCrybabyOtaku]

Can you talk about the TMNT & Naruto Crossover please

[@remc0s]

Since when are the TMNT using Usago Yojimbo's symbol with the three black dots? It's also on Casey Marie's gi.

[@leonjacobs3426]

How is he wearing a jumpsuit under his shell?

[@definitelydelish]

Am I misremembering. Could swear the original run of TMNT was Black & White, not color. Would have to dig, but think I might even have one or two issues from the 84 run.

[@seangrever3506]

Are they not making a last roinin game too? I could be wrong

[@calvinjohnson951]

How can I watch the last ronin

[@dominiquejohnson6434]

What happened to the podcast? 1:04

[@nitinnair4353]

Can anyone recommend some novels that are similar to the Fantastic Four, in the sense that it blends elements and themes of family, action/adventure, exploration, and sci-fi together? Please recommend novels/books not comic books or graphic novels.

[@daghettoghost5539]

Turtles power go green machine cowabunga dudes and dudedets

[@mrjoeyb717]

are yall ready for the naruto X tmnt series?

[@wisdomekanem1725]

wait..the live action ronin is legit?

[@ciaranmurren]

So Art has no factor on this list. Greater stories for the blind.

[@ericwilson8558]

Could you do a history of Pyro, please 🙏?

[@ericwilson8558]

Could you do a history of Sabretooth, please 🙏?

[@TS_Esquire]

2 minutes of advertising in the video.

[@ericwilson8558]

Could you do a history of Avalanche, please 🙏? I think he was one of the founding members of the brotherhood of evil.
