are eastman and laird the luckiest men in the twentieth century?
Possibly matt groening is a little luckier.

It's really irritating to me that kids are being marketed the same things their parents were 20-30 years ago. Maybe this trend's gone on for a long time but I never noticed it.

lol aren't you the world's biggest Archie stan

Also hands up everyone who can sing the verse couple of verses of the T.U.R.T.L.E. Power rap from the 1st film....?

Sheepish handraise.

Today's children need their own pile of singular inane, commercialized shit to cherish.

Massively OTM! When current generations hijack the nostalgia of previous generations, we get Woodstock '94. And '99. Never forget.

xxpost but I thought that they don't make any scratch off TMNT? something about their deal with Nickelodeon screwed them out of the glory? or am I totally wrong

nickelodeon is hella broke right now too iirc

ha fair enough
I guess I just like old stupid shit better than new stupid shit

Also kids have plenty of their own dumb shit and I'm sure they were trying to market "the Apple Dumpling Gang: the next generation: the animated series" or something when I was young.
I have to say it is p weird working w/eighth graders & they try and school me on who the Ninja Turtles are, though.

Judging from my niece's favorite shows, look for Olivia and Yo Gabba Gabba hologram reboots in 2042

I was a huge TMNT nerd as a kid, but the only thing I'll really rep for these days is the Archie Comics series (geared more towards kids and ostensibly an offshoot of the not-so-hot cartoon) and some of the original black & white stuff.

xxpost sometimes it's cool though - my niece's path into anime started with Robotech when she was about 10, and as her grownup Aunt and Uncle, Mr Veg and I couldn't have been more psyched to hand her the armload of dvd box sets.

The Nickelodeon sale was two years ago - first issue came out in 1984.

(Eastman stopped working at Mirage when Tundra launched c. 1991, sold all his share bar a creator interest to Laird/Mirage in 2000, and Laird bought the rest out in 2008.)

at least 'life in hell' used to be great. tbh i think eastman and laird's original comics are pretty mediocre. my fondest TMNT memories are of the arcade game.

hell yeah the arcade game- NEW and game boy iterations also p good

NES

NES version was great except for that one level where you had to defuse the underwater bombs. prob among my most frustrating childhood experiences.

I don't think any tbh qualifications are needed here

still looking for a copy of #50 though :( >:(

someone i cant even remember how i became fbook friends just added me to a fbook group called "Michael Bay is a DICK & the Turtles are MUTANTS not ALIENS"

Loving this old Supes!

Maybe it's like there's an alien fungus that comes down and mutates the turtles.

His suit looks like it's made of wool, which has to be nice when flying around in the upper reaches of the troposphere! xp to self

Forgot an important one:

um, he's Superman

superman was from an alien race iirc

Superman can love wool even with super powers.

Why would an alien race not appreciate a versatile, insulative, and comfortable textile?

If the new Ninja Turtles make a point of loving wool, I'll watch this movie.

Also v practical for re-entering earth's atmosphere, as wool doesn't burn (in comic book sense, not so much irl)

Smart guy, that Superman

If Superman were genuinely concerned with indestructibility, we would've woven a costume out of his own pubic hair.

(I am so, so sorry.)

*points to door*

i am still flabbergasted almost 20 years later on how much of his tmnt money kevin eastman managed to flush down the toilet and STILL be a multi-gazillionaire.

peter laird always seemed like an alright dude though.

speaking of: Laird's eyes roll out of his head, tongue bursts through cheek in reaction

haha that's pretty great

it also gives me stomach cramps thinking about just HOW many turtles will be in this terrible Michael Bay movie

i'm ok w/ the turtles being aliens as long as there is a 1/1 pizza/explosions ratio

post of thread

who is that Supes between the Lois and Clark dude and recent rubbish '.. Returns' guy? guess i haven't kept up with the many incarnations of late.

from the 00's tv show "smallville"

dude from the superman tv show "smallville" xp

if they don't call this film "TEENAGE MUTANT HERO TURTLES" in the UK, well, fuck off

The UK title was always more sensible. If they were meant to legitimately be ninjas, they did a pretty shitty job of it.

in the Mirage stuff?

The original movie has ninja in the title in the UK iirc

Well, in the early Mirage issues, our band of turtle warriors were much more faithful in their adherence to the ancient art of ninjitsu, but in subsequent appearances, they simply employed a number of martial arts techniques against their increasingly-bizarre rogues gallery, without much of an attempt at achieving or maintaining ninjitsu's trademark aura of invisibility. If I were given the opportunity to speak to the foursome, I would ask them to reconsider the cavalier usage of the word 'ninja' in their self-styled nomenclature.

That should all be read in the voice of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite, btw.
