TMNT: Coming Out of Their Shells - Phelous

You know, turtles coming out of their shells is like a human singing about removing their own spinal cords.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Which explains the Turtles becoming spineless in the story...

[@sacredsin7282]

It also vaguely sounds like another euphemism for “coming out of the closet,” which would have been an _entirely_ different kind of stage play.

Phelan Porteous One thing I should mention is that the VHS copy you had was an edited version of a live PPV broadcast (Yes, they actually showed the first show of the tour as a PPV event). The PPV version had a preshow that was cut from the VHS that was hosted by Kip and April that had Kip explaining how the Turtles formed a band and showed April's audience warm ups. They also cut out a part of the intermission where Kip was interviewing random kids. Kip asked a boy what he thought of Shredder. The boy responded "I think he looked better in the movie!" Kip's actor had to hold back laughing.

Funny story, Phelous. My brother's seen multiple reviews of this, but when he saw your version of it, he was absolutely shocked that you went into such detail about this concert, shouting, "How can he go on and on about every single detail?! You're ridiculous, Phelous!" which just made me laugh maniacally to see him this uncomfortable about a real review of the Coming Out of Their Shell Concert. It's what I like about you over Doug. You get details right and actually cite your sources while still being funny and nostalgic. By comparison, not only does he not pay attention to details, but he then makes bad jokes that only work with people who haven't seen what he reviews to know better. Then when they watch the movies he complains about and they wonder what the heck he was talking about. His videos not only come off as unfunny and shallow parodies, but it completely undermines his credibility and opinion.

This really need to make a comeback, but this time, it would be more... "PG or PG-13 than G" so to speak, including some better costumes, better plot, better fight, dance, and band choreography, better songs, and makes way more sense in this version, one day in the sewers, with the Shredder being defeated, the Turtles start to relax, and train to fight against crime, and Master Splinter realizes that they have been training on Martial-Arts for so long, that Turtles been on edge with eachother, so he had to think of somthing that'll get there edge off of fighting while practicing the great arts of a warrior at the same time, while Michelangelo was watching a rock concert on TV, Splinter gets the idea of getting the Turtles to practice and perform the art of Music, and since Rock & Roll is popular with the people nowadays, they will do a rock band, and as long as people think that they are just rock musicians in Turtle Costumes, then the people won't freak, and it can be their hook for them, at first the Turtles were a little skeptical about it, Leonardo was confused about Splinter's choices, Donatello is just trying to act calm about this but he thinks it's weird too, Raphael thinks it's just stupid but is trying to keep calm and obey Splinter's wishes, and Michelangelo is just loving every minute of this. then the show has some original and must better 80s style Rock and Roll songs, with some see-through curtains, that they say that the curtains are one-way, but Splinter made it so it shows the Turtles really acting about it without them really knowing, but after the first 3 songs, the foot soldiers show up, and the Turtles fight back with tons of much more epic kung-fu fighting and sparks when the turtles use their weapons on them, and after 2 songs, a large explosion occurs, and showing the Foot Clan, including, Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang (in his suit, of coarse), Baxter Stockman (human and black), Karai, and of coarse Shredder, who's ALOT more menacing and cooler looking, and as the Turtles are fighting those goons, Baxter activates a disruptive signal called the "M.U.R.D." or the "Mutation Unity Repulsion Device" that affects and hurts only to mutants, which the Shredder has the advantage of kicking their ass easily, so the Turtles head back to the sewers as April is taken hostage by the foot, thus ending Act 1 and during the intermission theirs a video going on where the Turtles are sitting in the sewers figuring out what to do next, as Raphael starts to angerly regret this and loses his temper, and punches Donatello, who after words says he had enough of this, and as the Trutles are fighting each other, Splinter comes to break it up, Leonardo asks Splinter why he would do this after he said he's actually a little annoyed by this whole thing, but he did this he wanted to their Turtles to express the art of music, and Rock and Roll was the only way to do it with the people, cause music has power you can't understand, it can gain you power not through strength and power, but through emotions and heart, and that makes that warrior... a better person inside, then Leonardo tells the other Turtles to come with them, saying "We're going to take care of that Shred-head", and tells the fans to stay put, and that the Turtles will be back soon... after intermission, Act 2 starts with the Shredder and the other goons coming on stage, along with the foot soldiers coming through the stands, as Shredder, Baxter, Krang, and Karai work on the machine, Bebop and Rocksteady takes this opportunity to taunt the audience (just to be clear, voice actors will be behind the scenes voicing the Turtles, Splinter, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang live and will be telling the guys in costumes what to do, just in case something goes wrong and need to improv), so Shredder is planning on using the Donatello's instruments to start an earthquake that will release all the Mutagen ooze from underground turning everyone in the town into shredder's mutant slaves, he uses this by playing extremely loud rock music, and he does an example of it's power by doing a heavy metal rock song, then as April is tied up, Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, and Baxter goes to find the Turtles, while Karai watches April, cause she can be more forceful to get April to tell where the Turtles are, but April tries to get in Karai's good side to let go, as she tries to convince that she doesn't need to do this, as they both sing their differences, but after the song, Shredder and the other villians shows up and Shredder tries to kill her, but the Turtles show up on screen telling them that they're on their way as they are near the entrance, as they're shown live outside the building, where most people our viewing the rest of the show via video screen for those who didn't get tickets (but it's much better to see it live), but then Krang shows up and summons Tokka and Rahzar to fight the Turtles fight against them, but the Turtles end up being defeated, and they are captured as they are walked off to back stage, but as soon Shredder was about to start the machine, Casey Jones and his crew show up to try to take down Shredder and save April, and to show they mean business, they do a punk rock song to get pumped up, after which Shredder and Casey start to have an epic fight against eachother, and when you though the Shredder was done, he comes from behind, breaks Casey's Hockey Stick, and beats and ties him up along with the rest of his gang, and after the Shredder has his glorious triumph, the Turtles show up on Stage, as they throw a tied up Krang, Tokka, and Rahzar on the ground, releases April, Casey and his gang, stands up to the Foot Clan, and has the final battle with the Shredder and his goons, it's an epic battle as sparks fly, epic ninja kung-fu fight choreography, and the back and forth of the device that activates the machine, all while Casey and his Gang plays an epic rock and roll battle tune to pump up their spirits, but then the music stops as Shredder gets the machine, but as soon as he presses the button to start it, nothing happens, since Donatello deactivated the machine by cutting the wires, but Baxter still has the M.U.R.D. signal, that starts to weakens the Trutles, but Master Splinter tells them to not give up, and remember to use the power of music to not give up, and as the audience chants "Turtles, Turtles, Turtles", Leonardo grabs Baxter's device, and breaks it, but after he tries using one of the toy mini swords to defend himself while saying "wom" like a lightsaber, and Leo knocks it out of his hands, and Baxter says "thanks alot force, I'm out", and he runs off screaming and saying "Sorry, Boss, you're on your own..." comically, then there's an extremely epic final fight between the Turtles and the Shredder, and as the fans shout "Turtles Power" over and over again, as the Turtles deliver a devastating combined final blow to Shredder, and after that, the Turtles throw Shredder in a Dumpster that Donatello had made a few years back, called the Dumpster portal, which can send people or things to different dimensions, and they use it to send Shredder back to Dimension X, along with the other goons as well, then Splinter comes on stage saying they did well, and they achieved the perfect combination of Martial Arts and Music, and as Leo says that's enough for it, Splinter says to the Turtles "Oh, are you sure you don't have one last song in you four." and as the Turtles says "Maybe...", they play their last song of the show a much more rockin' remake "Count on Us", as the show ends... with a bang and just a reminder, the character traits and continuity are actually a mix between all 3 of the Cartoon series and the original movies, -the 1987 series: Bebob, Rocksteady, Krang, April, and Vernon (who will be replacing Kip in talking to the fans opinions) -the original movies: Tokka and Rahzar -the 2003 series: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael (all the Turtles are wearing a mixture between the original concert costumes and the movie costumes), Splinter, Shredder, and Casey and his Gang -the 2012 series: Karai and Baxter Stockman and it'll be called "TMNT: Coming Out of Our Shells REDUX" What do you think, would that be a good idea?

[@RadNat]

the Don of Creativity I think you did more writing in this one comment than the writers of "Coming out of there shells" did for the whole show

[@jakebryant3445]

Cool!!

[@Tareltonlives]

....EFFORT! THAT'S ACTUALLY EFFORT! SOMETHING THAT THIS SHOW NEVER GAVE A CRAP ABOUT

the Don of Creativity hmmmm.... you might have an idea there

[@s.nifrum4580]

Come on man “I’ve seen your face on a milk carton somewhere” was actually pretty funny

[@ToruKun1]

I'm sure other people have already explained the turtles said "Slow down, April! We're turtles, remember?" because turtles are slow, but...

[@sillygrl23]

+ToruKun1 What got me during that whole sentence was when Leo said: "April babe, may I call you 'babe-?" before saying that, kinda threw me off since it does not sound like something Leonardo would have ever called April. Donatello or Michelangelo yeah maybe, but not Leonardo. In the adaptations I have seen, he would have given her a bit more respect than that.

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

+ToruKun1 You're right. :)

[@Ratciclefan]

ToruKun1 oh wow

[@Ratciclefan]

ToruKun1 and I didn't catch that either, so thanks for explaining.

[@ironmaster6496]

@@ToruKun1 Fuck that may be the most disturbing thing "Leonardo" ever said, i mean it would be totally normal if he was talking about Karai But April? Weird (Its a Joke guys, that line still kind of Creepy)

[@Jman92854]

Oh god that improv between the turtles and fake Vernon and Shredder attempting to insult the audience was so cringe-worthy.

[@nilswaage7626]

Not often a review has me in tears most of the way through. Great job!

[@domtaylor1887]

Some of the songs in this tour are actually pretty catchy like: Pizza Power, Skipping Stones, I Hate Music, and You Can Count on Us.

[@SHSZ1989]

Shredder: I hate music! Also Shredder: (sings about hating music)

[@sageserendipity]

tbh, this does make me sort of nostalgic. It reminds me of when my mom took me to a live My Little Pony performance when I was little. She said she planned it for weeks and I got a toy wand that lit up or something. Ah, memories.

[@damienjarlen179]

Is it weird that I think Splinter's costume looks like a gerbil instead of a rat?

[@crystalvoodoo91]

No it kinda looks like a gerbil

[@Lava91point0]

He looks like an angry shitzu that just woke up

[@davidsparling1157]

are we just gonna ignore what i can only assume is Little Phelous at 8:56?

[@gracekim1998]

that was him yes

[@stormwolf3252]

30:05 - "And many years later, my former student, Pendleton, will go on to create a cartoon where violence solves everything in the land of Ooo."

[@BrokeProductions]

Was that Peter Cullen as one of Shredder's voices? Bebop! Rocksteady! Transform and roll out!

[@cadethumann8605]

Carl Bryant If that is true, then what a waste of a cool concept.

Turtles can't "come out" of their shells; their shells grow out of their spinal cords. That would kill them.

[@crystalvoodoo91]

Yup It’d kill a tortoise too So basically stuff like Franklin and Looney Tunes and plenty of other stuff that have shown turtles take their shells off have been lying to you. They can’t do that. Because it’d kill them. 😸

[@autobotstarscream765]

So basically, the show depicts the Turtles becoming spineless? That makes too much sense...

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Well, between this and The Next Mutation, we've learned that "weenie" is a trigger word that makes Raphael go into a murderous rage XD Guess that's why the turtles favor pizza over hot dogs.

[@PriceAintRight]

Lmao I've been watching this for years now. Congrats on 100!!

[@ATippingBarn]

Out of all your reviews, Phelan, the turtle concert ones are my favorite.

[@BalloonSage]

Yeah, the reaction when he "first sees" Shredder is probably my favorite reaction in any vid he's done.

[@s.nifrum4580]

The ninja turtles forming a band would’ve worked if it were a plot point in a ninja turtles movie Like if the secret were out, people were starting to accept them and they started exploring what they could do with their newfound freedom And the band just being one of many things they try out

[@TheWilderCat]

Phelous' expression in the thumbnail is the best thing in the review. Well that or maybe the Teenage mutant ghost busters shirt he's wearing.

[@Tareltonlives]

God give me the confidence of supervillain in THAT costume. Seriously, I wish the costume designers were as enthusiastic as the actors in this.

[@AlvinEarthworm]

Pity the Old man meme wasn't a thing when this video was created. "I'm the Ollllld maaaaan. You can count on MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeee!!!"

[@schlamuffenimperator9460]

Splinter singing about skipping stones. Now we need Superman to sing about flying through rings.

[@minnie7104]

Ah, I see now. A turtle's spine is attached to its shell, and since they came out of their shells, that means that they became spineless. That's why they're weenies.

[@LittleBearMysticNun]

your reaction to Shredder gets the biggest laugh out of me. also, Kip dying.

[@jankarieben1071]

It actually makes sense that the “new way” was pacifism since without their shells the turtles would literally be ‘spineless.’ 😅

[@BeefStuu92]

Old Man: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
