Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jimmy Olsen

 

I thought that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was a fun movie. The gritty animation style worked well and reminded me of some of the earlier comics that featured the group of pizza-loving brothers.  I also liked how they were presented as younger, truly teenagers for once. The April O'Neill redesign really didn't work for me though, that seemed to be change for change sake.  Still, It's a fun, fast paced adventure that is well worth watching for fans of the characters.

    Thank you, Ross! This is just what I've been hoping to see. One of my requests finally being granted. Definitely twice as good as morning coffee. This morning, anyway.

  8. @Anon@12:21: Only in the sense that his greenness makes him an oppressed minority. But if there's real trouble, he can always call on The Emerald Elite.

  9. @Bob Greenwade: Well, there your's plot gimmick! The Emerald Elite and the Newshounds are about to throw a pizza party. So Leonardo goes and Kermit hire Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem as the live entertainment!

    Knowing Ross' preference for planning at least a month ahead, maybe such a cover could be simulated towards the end of August. For the Labor Day weekend, of course!

  11. Hmmm! A children's TV show, huh? I wonder if Jimmy's transformation was triggered by the Earth-STF version of Xemnu the Living Titan?

  12. @Anon805: if nothing else, a plot gimmick like that might give Ross the opportunity to have Xemnu finally debut, here.
