Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

[NovaSaber]

April...I'm sorry, I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but I have to say it. You know that if/when a character that's always been portrayed as black gets whitewashed, creators will absolutely catch holy hell for it. So it really just pisses me off that we're totally okay with a character that's always been portrayed as white getting blackwashed. Give me hell if you want to, but there's absolutely a double standard. I didn't like it with Rise and I don't like it here.

"Always" is not strictly accurate. She was black in one of the non-canon guest issues of the Mirage comic:

But even in the canon issues (where she was white), she had a perm and a tan for a long stretch, so it's not surprising if some people actually thought she was black when she wasn't.

There was an April O'Neil Miniseries, that I never liked the art of; but she always looked kinda mixed raced in the book.

I particularly don't like to see him as a bigot, no matter how honestly he came by it.

I mean, I think it's worth noting that they show him overcoming that.

And let's face it, he's always been wary of people on the surface at the start for reasons like this, they just turned it up to 10 here.

Paramount + will be doing a 5th TMNT series called Tales Of The TMNT. (Not to be confused with the 20 episode Series V from 2012)

*psst*
Over here!


I'll likely check it out.

Okay, stumbled across this AMV tonight, and holy hug does it work well with Rise Raph:

Feel up some room for... Joy! That was a sudden funny turn, haha

I got this from Amazon today. I've been pretty busy with Baldur's Gate 3, Mortal Kombat 1 and Shredders Revenge lately. I'm also setting October aside for a Friday the 13th marathon. So it may be a while before I get to this.

I did watch just enough of Turtles Forever to confirm it was the TV edit. Not that I was expecting the uncut version, but I was hoping. I guess the uncut version has passed out of existence...at least in region1 places.

It never even made it to home media in Region 1. It only ever surfaced on 4Kids's website.

Can't speak for any other regions if they ever got the uncut version released or not.

You see, that's the problem with streaming. Yay, I get to see it whenever I want with no charge. But then property rights change hands, streaming goes away and the new owners only ever want to release the inferior version that most people already have.

Seperate note, like I said before, it'll be a while before I get to it. But I suppose I can do reaction posts like I did before. I'm pretty sure I've seen a vast majority of these though, at least up until Fast Forward.

That would be fun.

Well, I just finished a Friday the 13th marathon. So when I saw this at Target today, I had to get it.

It came with a maskless face as well, but I'll probably keep that in my parts bin.

It's just a shame Mark Pellegrini doesn't post here anymore. I'm sure he'd have something to say about this.

Kids and I watched the newest movie this past weekend. It actually was quite fun, and I loved the Kaiju battle at the end.

 

[Fero McPigletron]

Did you get the Attack on Titan reference? It was a bit of a coincidence but it made sense cuz it was a whale, hehe

 

[Platypus Prime]

I got the Glow Ultimates Slash, and I really like the way they did it, though I'm using it more with my 'monster' shelf than anything actually Turtles related.

For our next crossover, we will have the Ninja Turtles meet Beevis and Butthead, in "Cowabungholio".

Jagged, I was about to post a pic of it, haha.

Trapjaw mouser arm is cool.

I saw a Rafael figure from the TMNT arcade game at Ross yesterday. I was extremely tempted to get it, but I was already buying a lot of other toys.

 

[Caldwin]

Who's Rafael?

 

[The Predaking]

Who's Rafael?

It's the Ninja turtle that is on Cold medicine.


Or it's the one that looks a little too much like Raf.
