      Mark Pellegrini identified non-canon stories in his timeline of Mirage, but when you start investigating what the writers said, it is almost like none of it should be taken seriously as canon. "Dark Shadows" alone implies that the apocalyptic future was just one possible timeline.
      In reality, the problem is that not even the writers know what is canon and what isn't. So all the stories happening in the future should be considered as an alternative timeline.

      But according to season 5's production codes, Mutant Apocalypse trilogy was it's true last episodes as it left a final note in the end for the Original TMNT creators.
      It's what Nickelodeon wants you to think. They where in way over there heads when they did this and since it's canceled it never was continued to prevent such a grim end for them thus it's the reason they altered there episode line.
      But it's entirely up to you how you want it to end it this way. So yeah it was a good move to end on the Bebop and Rocksteady Trilogy...

    I still hold out hope that Peter Laird and Jim Lawson will reunite to wrap up Vol 4. Beyond that I really hope Kevin and Peter will collaborate again on a story to conclude the Mirage continuity. Judging by the recent Cartoonist Kayfabe interviews it’s clear there’s definitely a chance of this happening some day. The big problem with Tales Vol 2 is that Peter had so little input, the whole series can only really be regarded as what if… stories driven by Steve Murphy. Peter Laird is seemingly unaware of most of the stories as it sounds like he’s never even read them.

    • @TheTurtleNexus
      @TheTurtleNexus  Рік тому +2

      While Peter may not remember many of the Tales, most of the stories in that volume are definitely canon. It's just the ones from the future (and the ones that were specifically classified as non-canon).
      I do not know if Peter will be able to go back to volume 4, but I do hope that he and Kevin write something new.

      My rule for comics is to just dont consider anything canon unless its brought up in whatever story you're currently reading.
      As the characters go on, and different writers take over, they all end up using and not using what they want for the story they are telling, and you got to keep that in mind when you're reading.

    I LOVE The Turtles but I have to admit... I'm not much of a fan of the cosmic sides to their adventures. I love the stories of them on Earth fighting The Foot Clan, Shredder, The Purple Dragons, the various B level villains, etc (and with a little mysticism mixed in). But I DIDN'T like the Triceratons, and honestly I much preferred The Turtles' dynamic in the 2003 animated series over their Mirage counterparts...JUST BECAUSE their bond seemed a _lot_ tighter in that iteration.
    In contrast, the comics seemed to ALWAYS have them at odds with each other, (ALWAYS!) over the most STUPIDEST things but in the 2003 series they actually felt like a real clan. (To me, anyway.) I really enjoyed _The Last Ronin,_ and especially loved the hulking design of Michelangelo. Not really a fan of them mutating 4 new turtle replacements, though. This honestly seems rather cruel. Why would you create something like this in a world where they would ultimately be alone and different JUST because you happen to miss your friends?

    • @TheTurtleNexus
      @TheTurtleNexus  Рік тому +11

    I've always hated the Turtles/Human romance. I was really annoyed with it in the 2012 Nick Series with Donatello drooling and obsessing over April, Leo for a bit with Karai till she was made into a Mutant, but still, and it really annoyed me to learn that in the recent Mutant Mayhem movie Leonardo is the one now with a crush on April...who looks like a grandma though she isn't. And then I see Old Leo mouth to mouth kissing with Radical, and it gave me the same anger we had on 2006 PS3 Sonic the Hedgehog kissing Princess Elise, or rather her kissing him to revive him.
