    Okie dokie, looks like I need to set some things straight here!

    <TMNT FANGIRL MODE>

    The current TMNT cartoon is very much based on the original TMNT comic books published in the 80s by Mirage Studios. The Utroms in those comics looked just as you see them in the current cartoon. However, when developing the OLD cartoon series, the Utroms were removed but that is where the basic idea for Krang came from. Krang was an alien brain. The Utroms are just aliens, not bains (though they have brains).

    Anymore questions?

    </TMNT FANG.. oh let's face it, I'm never out of fangirl mode

    :D

    And we wouldn't want you any other way. :D


    This new Turtle toon is lightyears better than the old one. The old one was fun but I always liked the comic version better. This new one is just perfect.

    Dude! Leo Beheaded the shredder! :eek:

    Yea I know he picked his head back up but still! :eek: :eek:


    Gotta love it when the bad guy gets his head chopped off.

    I loved that Leo cut off Shredder's head in the toon. Yeah, it's in the comic book, so I should have been expecting it. But this is a kids' cartoon, and they can't do that kind of thing! So when his head fell off I spazed like... well, like a silly little fangirl. :D

    FoxBox has been inconsistant with showing episode previews, but you can count on a long string of new episodes. Especially since February is sweeps. From the episode synopsises on the Official Site, next week's episode is "Reflections."

    Back to today's episode, I absolutely loved the jokes about the old cartoon. But probably my favorite part was the "memory" of Hamato Yoshi - too cool!

    Okay, I'm confused after Saturday.

    If Krang isn't an Utrom, then who was that Utrom they referred to as "Krang"? Different guy or the same?

    And I think we all saw the whole Shredder-is-an-Utrom thing coming. But I don't remember that being in the old comics? Are you thinking of the old comics, or the old-old comics? The black and white ones where the turtles are mean and stuff? Dang, I should dig those out, thery're probably worth some money...

    And what up with those triceritops looking things? Rocksteady? Hmmmmm???

    Krang from the old cartoon is not an Utrom.

    The Utrom called Krang in last Saturday's episode was simply a nod to the old show, just as yellow jumpsuited reporter April was a nod to the old show. An inside joke, nothing more. :)

    Actually They came long before Rocksteady.

    You must realize that this new cartoon is based off the original Comics that came out long long before the Old Cartoon that your thinking of.

    The stuff in the Old Cartoon was nothing like the original comics. Sure some things were inspired by and based off of it but it was changed so much it was a whole different Universe.

    You have to unlearn what you have learned. :)

    The old toons may have a wink and a nod to them from time to time as an inside joke as our Turtle Master Riibu has said, but they have nothing to do with this new Cartoon character backgrounds and what not.


    This is it's own show and everything has changed. :)
