Originally released January 16th, 2017.
ORIGINAL INFO: Heroes in a half-shell... that kill ninja leaders!
I will say that naming their company "Mirage Studios" due to the fact that they didn't have an actual studio is pretty clever on their part.
Marc Quill I LOVE IT!!!!
Especially since their comics were about ninjas!
i agreed
I remember buying the ninja turtles book when they first came out. They were amazing!
'Grateman'? Now there's something that would lend itself to a Monty Python sketch.
"I am...Grateman."
"...You're not that impressive."
*”you’re not that grate”
@@onemariobro
I'd say that was painful, but I'm just angry I didn't think of it.
XD
"Says the turtle named after a painter."
The 2003 series was my jam in my childhood. Just the right blend of sci-fi, fantasy, humour, drama and good writing overall.
I watched 'Same as it never was', HOLY SHIT THAT WAS WACKY IN A HARSH WAY!
yeah i couldve been a lot better but I agree
I just love how the big main villain in the TV show is actually a nobody that dies in the first issues of the comics.
He is the reason they trained to become ninjas, not really a nobody
He does sort of come back later on, but I think it's just a clone of him.
yeah it's pretty ironic. Its probably cause he was the msot visually appealing of the villains at the time, aside from the aliens
hell, krang was loosely based on a benvolent alien race who helped out the turtles.
In the new comics he lasted until issue 50.
There is shredder in hell coming up setting up his return.
Interestingly enough, the closest series to the comic's origin story is the 2003 one
The 2003 TV series is the first Ninja Turtles cartoon I ever watched.
The 2012 origin is the best altered one.
The original movie almost had the origin word for word
Only cartoon that had Splinter as the pet rat and not Hamato Yoshi himself.
That series was my Ninja Turtles dbh
The dialogue really does sound like a Frank Miller parody.
Trevor Anthony
Kind of a given, but it’s nice to be reminded.
@Trevor White Because those were not meant as parody...they were meant to be serious lol
I find it ironic how nowadays Shredder is usually the TMNT's archenemy, yet in the original comics they weren't afraid to kill him off in the first issue!
John Morgan
That was due to the creators not knowing if they’d get a second issue.
@@daelen.cclark but then at vol 3 they kept him dead for good
Congrats, Lewis, this year you'll turn 30 and you'll get to join Doug Walker, James Rolfe, and Andre "Black Nerd" in the ranks of the Thirty-Something Nerdy Critics.
Crackheads in a case file! Critic power!
Oh. Hey. Then they'll finally have 4 people.
And me
@@SuperWolsey So 4 people
Given what went down with channel awesome, that team didn’t last long.
Oh, and since they mentioned honor...
TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOR!

Also, the foot clan where a parody of The Hand in Daredevil.
Ha! I never made that connection!

How many ninja clans can new york have?
@@JaelinBezel 42 the answer is always 42
i watched the 2003 series as a kid and fron what ive heard its closest to the original comic in terms of tone and some continuity
Dalton Williams It starts out that way. Gets gimmicky after season 4
Yeah. After the part where they go to the future, which i thought was alright, it went to crap
Yeah, best to stick to the first four seasons. It is defintely the closest to the comic from what I've seen.
Magitek1112 But even deviating from the comic isn't necessarily bad
it's not but at the same time you kinda have to maintain a relative tone throughout a series which the 2003 version didn't. As soon as 4kids took full control of the show you immediately saw the drastic shift in tone and design the show went through and that is almost always a sure way of killing your show
The 2012 reboot is actually pretty good. Also Eastman's uncle probably got a lifetime of beer fetchings on top of that loan.
I do like the 2012 TMNT show as it as a way of adding in easter eggs and doing tributes and jokes to other TMNT stuff and older shows
I especially liked how they crossed over with the 1985 show.
i did like the tmnt 2012 one time but then it just grew off me now that I found out about this comic book
Thumbs up on the Venus shout out, love it. My favorite bit was "We're CGI."
Am I the only girl who absolutely LOVED Venus as a kid?
I did watch the show as an adult and was surprised to discover how much of a plot device she was.
Wish they’d developed her more. Would have been nice to see some female turtles around
Since where now in 2022, we got Jennika in the new IDW comics who’s actually pretty cool in my opinion and, great news, this year we will be reintroduced to Venus in also the IDW comics and it will be the first time the character as made an appearance since The Next Mutation. How do you feel about that Grim?
I've honestly mixed feelings about this. I mean: her character was maybe the only remotely okay part of that show, but her character was still named after an art piece rather than a painter.
@@fermintenava5911 I'm sure the lack of female artists had something to do with that.
@@Krendall2 you….sure?😅
don't worry, the power of fanfiction can fix her
The awkwardness of splinter explaining there own orgins to the turtles is why most versions probably have the orgin explained when april meets the turtles.
You made this diehard TMNT fan very happy!
Shinobi Pizza did you grow up with Teenagers Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Jack Whitty A little bit. I've watched an episode of the 2003 series and enjoyed the toy commercials, but I became a diehard fan in 2012.
Shinobi Pizza I avoided TMNT entirely before the Nickelodeon purchase
Scott Sandler Nick buying TMNT turned out to have alot of great benefits!
Honestly, I was excited about the Out of the Shadows movie. It deserved a chance to build its world, but it threw too much on it, and collapsed under all the weight
In a documentary about TMNT Peter Laird said he and Eastman were often asked why didthey killed off Shredder in the first issue. His reply was that they had no idea there would be asecond issue. Like every TMNT fan, I'm glad that they got to continue the series.
what's great about Ninja turtles as a franchise is how it reinvents itself overtime and how unique each incarnation is. My favorite though has to be the 2003 series though as I have nostalgia for it though if I am honestly the 2012 show is probably the best overall imo.
Notsosmartguy 625 I heard 2012 was good but god, I hate that animation
The IDW series since 2011 has been great.
Its even better since Turtles Forever (love it or hate it) established that the TMNT have a multiverse and thus each iteration is its own universe! Also, the 2003 show is my favorite!
@@joshuakusuma5953 the idw would've made a better 2012 show
@@jakeystarsuper The IDW series would have only been out for a year. Not enough material to adapt.
Teenage Linkara Ninja AT4W Teenage Linkara Ninja AT4W Teenage Linkara Ninja AT4W.. Bad Coimcs in a half-shell.. COMIC POWER!
Ah, so pizza has been part of the franchise since the very beginning.
It grew in prominence during the first cartoon.
I know. I'm just saying that the turtles love for pizza wasn't something the first cartoon came up with out of nowhere. I also notice that the one of the baby turtles mentions Star Trek, and I can't help but think of that show Leo watches in the current cartoon that is a parody of Filmation's Star Trek animated series.
given ciro nelli , producer of the 2012 cartoon is a huge fan of tmnt , makes sense
@@EHH246 f
Nah, that was a change in the reprint, all the baby dialogue was changed for some reason
7:11 re. the sword, it's all about length. 'Daito' refer to blades with a length of more than two feet, 'Shoto' refer to anything less. Anything more than two feet is called a nodachi. The classic ninja sword is usually supposed to be a shoto.
I hope my favorite comic book hero, Plastic Man, will receive a Secret Origins Month episode.
That's a pretty unusual favorite hero. He's a pretty fun hero, though.
Plastic Man you could argue was sorta of Deadpool before Deadpool existed. Aside from the golden age Red Tornado he was what started the concept of a parody of superheroes.
GrateMan: The Gratest Mega Man robot master ever.
WeirdoTZero
Right up there with slash man, paint woman, and skull man.
(Would you believe 2 out of 3 of those are real?)
captain Rockatron As well as bubble man, shade man (as yes, the master of shadows) and aqua man (the lawsuit that somehow never happened)
I know this is a linkara video and not a phelous video, but-
*crumples paper* that's it!
@@daelen.cclark I am guessing Paint Woman is fake as I recall a Skull guy...and Slash man sounds likley
The opening lines in this comic are almost word for word the same as the 2003 series, I did not know this. That is awesome.
It amazed me how 4Kids could have such mixed results (at best) with anime, but they could put out such good western animation. I was intrigued when I saw the promos for the 2003 series, my heart sank when I saw the 4Kids logo, and then I sat shocked after watching the first episode and said, "This is good."
I think part of artwork looking simple is because it tries to mimic style of Frank Miller with thick ink lines. In issue 2 (first appearance of April and Baxter Stockman), when they drop the Miller pastiche, art drastically improves. Also, it might be related to Eastman and Laird not expecting it to succeed - in future issues art has more detailed backgrounds, and actual ink wash shading (and the story is much better).
I, personally, prefer it when Splinter IS Yoshi. Makes the whole thing more personal for both tbe Turtles AND Shredder.
My tmnt will always be the 2003 version. Its the version I grew up with. It's also the closet to the comics from what I know.
I didn't like that Shredder was Utrom, a decent series aside from that.
Wow! I've been worried about Ninja Style Dancer. He's been gone for so long.
Yeah he came back. I think because they are about to face a really strong enemy, they need all of them to be together.
silentpaw he was probably off catching pokemon ...
...
i wonder what happened to him it's been 2 years
I would love a Star Trek Turtles crossover. Nickelodeon Leo meeting Captain Kirk would be the funniest thing ever.
Hekata greyback they made toys of them
Hekata greyback look it up
right? I can just hear leo telling kirk "you're no captain ryan."
Who needs a TMNT/Star Trek crossover when they've traveled across space and time with THE DOCTOR/PROFESSOR?
Kacper Przysiężny What do you mean?
Professor Honeycutt aka the Fugitoid, is voiced by David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor
How about a Star wars crossover, not even once has there ever been a crossover with the 2 franchises despite being the most influential sci-fi franchises of the 20th century.
We already have that in the action figure line where the Turtles dress up as Star Trek characters.
Brandon Lyon I hope they don't do a crossover in comics, a Star Wars Star Trek crossover would be so important that it'd have to be a movie, a really epic long movie
8:35 Have you not read the current IDW series? They have a character named Alopex, a mutant arctic fox who wears nothing but a tattered cloak and some tape wrapped around her torso-area and feet! But I'm not complaining, because she's one of the most beautiful characters to be drawn and being one of the most interesting side characters I've come across!
Thank you for making my day Linkara with this video, and you deserve my first ever Like for one of your videos!
Also she is Raphael Girl-Friend
@@sonnywoods6846 Funny how he seems to get in teh most relationship with diverse species...I think he had a wife in teh Archie comics too
I love the way they did her story in the 2012 show.
I really like how your title card artist gave you the same kind of smile as the turtles.
KOkami03 dr crafty. He has his own speed drawing channel, with hilarious commentary!
I'm so happy Eastman and Laird continued the comic and evolved as artists and writters.
Afonso Lucas Well, Peter Laird sold the rights to Nick after the conclusion of the 2003 TMNT series because he became tired of it, but Eastman did come back to serve as co-writer and at times a artist for the IDW Publishing series since 2011!
*squeels*
lets be honest: most of us didnt know the tmnt started as comic characters.... or dark ones for that matter.
my turtles will always be the 2003 version. it is prolly the closest to the original comics ive seen any turtles related properties had done. (while still having twists of its own. funny how people were up in arms about the turtles being aliens but no one batted an eye at the main shredder of the 2003 series being an alien.)
RT Wait until you see the real shredder of the show.
supersmashbro596 Fuck yeah the 2003 series was the shit and Shredder was soo fucking badass in that show.
You mean the show's version of Tengu Shredder, right?
2012 is better. Adherence to the comics doesn't necessarily make it bad
supersmashbro596 I honestly didn't care shredder was an alien. He was just badass.
14:21 Okay are we NOT going to address how cute the turtles look here? I mean come on guys! That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!
Adorable indeed.
Omg. Sticks leave splinters. Splinter is a parody of stick. I literally just got that. Damn.
Turtles should team up with Daredevil
The Ninja Turtles and Daredevil are in the Marvel Universe apparently, who'd know? Turtles/Star Trek crossover? Daredevil crossover now!
exactly
well i made this : daredevil see's some ninja (these are foot clan ninja) thinking there the hand so he follows . the turtles are getting ready to strike the foot clan then dare devil starts attacking the foot clan out of nowhere . Matt thinking wait these are the hand then he realize he aren't alone the turtles are there thinking who is he? the turtles thinking that he is a foot clan member just attack him after going blows to each other they get the mess settled down and told each others there stories and realized there stories are connected . (i can't think anymore story to tell and i'm not that good with story telling but maybe there's a possible alliance of the hand and the foot clan and some other stuff)
"Ugh Hardees...sometimes beggars *can* be choosers." XD I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.
8:00 Oh man, not that Argentinian porn movie again XD
You should pronounce "pinjas" as "pin-has", it's a way to resemble the sound like "pingas", slang for "penises".
Martin Cirillo so thar’s why there looks like just people in body paint
I would love if TMNT ever crossed over with dare devil
TheAllSeeingEye
What HAVEN’T they done that yet?
@@daelen.cclark No Crossover with Bimbos in time....or Predator
Ninja Turtle! *tosses action figure at Linkara*
they technically did, in action figures of the turtles dressed like characters in star trek.
(kind of cool.)
My turtles will always be 2003
For me its the 2007 movie. 2003 is great tho
I loved the show as a kid and didn't even know they were comics until the TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover comic happened and I did some research on it haha
Also that moment when the ad before the video is one of those "Canadians! Please for the love of God go outside and exercise!" ads xD
There is a Ninja Turtles story where they did fight inbred cannibals in an issue of Heavy Metal. Irionically Kevin Eastman was the editor-in-chief at the time.
RT The Turtles lost that fight.
Charles Woodley how
It was long ago but they were eaten.
Charles Woodley ....
So they dined on Turtle Soup?
"I think it's time we finally had a crossover with Star Trek and the TMNT." Because it turned out so well when they met the Power Rangers!
By the way, did you know there's a Justice League vs. Power Rangers comic out?
TheHeroOfTomorrow Wow... so like Marvel and DC had crossovers... and then we have the Marvel and Super Sentai connection and then Power Rangers and now this...
Hi.
TheHeroOfTomorrow I am pumped for the MMPR/JLA crossover event
@@TokuBoyStudios and there is also a injustice vs he man and the masters of the universe
Actually getting a new crossover between them now. Looks awesome though! :D
Man do I love the teenage mutant ninja turtles. While I'm not familiar with the comics I am familiar with the their tv series and movies. Some were good. Others were not. My personal favorite tmnt series is the early 2000's one. It was action packed, dark at times, and had a really good cast of characters.
shadowlinkbds But there's one awesome character that could've improved the series for me, and that would be Alopex the mutant arctic fox. Yes, I know she wasn't created until 2012 for the IDW Publishing series that's still going, but she's the most interesting character I've seen out of TMNT! Plus, she's gonna make a appearance in the 2012 Nick TMNT!
RT Not to mention that the 2003 series has arguably the best shredder ever! He was badass, menacing, has a great evil voice, and doesn't screw around. By far my favorite shredder and one of my favorite villains ever.
shadowlinkbds What about Leonardo? I remember the Nostalgia Critic making a joke about how Leo is always the worst leader, but among the clips he showed to prove his point, '03 Leo wasn't there. Having the best Shredder is great, but I need my heroes done right too.

+Kevin Corey Leonardo and the turtles were quite well done, they had distinct personalities but were very clsoe and loyal to each other (even if mikey annoyed raph one too many times), and honestly they're the incarnation I'd say feel the msot like an actual family rather than a team of randos. The only bad thing about Leo in the 2003 version was how he became a bit of a jerk after almost dying, but that was eventually fixed after being explained as PTSD over he and his brothers almost dying at the Shredder's hands.
Also Splinter was really, really cool. He won an interdimensional tournament!
Nice review. TMNT was a big part of my childhood and it's nice to see their origins. Also you're a brave man for mentioning the Next Mutation considering the creators disowned it. Keep up the good work my man. Cowabunga dude.
Mmmm that Phelous clip. So good.
Tail? Something... else? Well, they're tortoises, so it's not one or the other - it's both. The More You Know!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Reviewed by guy named... LIN-KARA!
He's the world most complainy comic reader
For those who don't know, The Foot is a parody of The Hand from Marvel.
YES! Ninja Style Dancer is back!! Rejoice!
The Ninja Turtles versus inbred cannibals? That would be a Hell of a movie!
4:18 - It's funny how the original comic was a parody of Frank Miller, because the original cartoon from the 80s was also a parody, but of superheroes in general.
Woo!
Ninja Turtles. I'm so happy, now.
Um quick question, if this was inspired by Frank Millers works, why DIDN'T you read IT like it WAS a FRANK MILLAR work? Also I'd complain that there was no Kung Tai Ted cameo but he's just depressing nowadays.
Because it wasn't a Miller Time.
Being an avid fan of the 2003 turtles series, I just realized the first episode of the series has the same opening of the first ninja turtles comic (fighting purple dragon gang members accusing them of wearing costumes)
If Oblivion has taught me anything, a duel-bladed Katana is called a Daikatana. Not to be a Nitpicky-McGee, I just felt compelled to answer and help if I could - I love your videos.
"Should he deal with the corpse before or after dinner?"
There is an easy comprimise for that...
I had the honour of asking Kevin Eastman if this version of the franchise will get an ending his answer was that if Peter Laird is asked enough he'll finish it.
This is why I love stealth parodies, they tend to be as popular, if not more popular, than what they're parodying.
LOL Miami Connection and Phelous references.
Kevin Eastman: I need this money so I can make this comic book.
Uncle: Fine but you better give me a cut of the profit since I gave the money.
*Few months after the comic was published *
*Uncle looking at the check*😨🤑
Wonder how big the cheque got after the toys and the original cartoon came out.
I knew you couldn't stay away from TMNT comic books. 😉Linkara on UA-cam ! Yes!👍
What if that Renaissance painter's book was a collectionof Dr Seuss books? Samiam, Onefishtwofish, Wocketinmypocket, and Hoponpop! These are the names of the deadly Ninja Turtles!!
Samiam leads! Onefishtwofish does machines!
This comic is one of the most brilliant parodies of all time
It's about damn time Linkara. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics are all amazing. When are you going to cover the multidimensional talking cow head?
Except for the Image comics run. From what I've seen that was terrible.
I hope no one asked him to do IDW Issue #44 too much story and would ruin the pay off (assuming the internet hasn't already?)
"Sultry Teenage Super-Foxes" So what this title is telling me is that they're trying to sexualize underage animals.
You know while watching the original ninja turtles movie, I constantly made a joke about how that one foot clan ninja slapped April, with "Slapping Foot Clan Joke", where whenever the foot clan shows up, I keep on saying that instead of fighting, they are slapping and I called the shredder the slapper and when the Turtles came back to their base destroyed I said they slapped everything in it and thst the sewers stenched of salmon
10:25 the build up has been YEARS in the making!
I guess the automatic door explains why they aren't constantly flooded with sewage and rainwater.
If you haven't read the first run of these comics, they're EXCELLENT. Highly recommended.
8:00 Why has Phelous and/or Brandon Tenold not reviewed that movie yet?! It looks like something that's right up their alley.
"Shredder is a bit of a tool so he did not come alone."
I mean, he was explicitly taunted to fight four guys. Even if they planned on attacking him one by one it wasn't a fair fight. I'd show up with backup too.
Plus he got called out for this fight for avenging his brothers death. Yeah, his brother was a tool and Shredder also went on to a life of crime, but really in a lot of other shows Shredder and his quest for revenge would be the main plot.
the acid that blinded the Daredevil gave the turtles their power
Personally, I'd have made the title card a parody of the comic's cover. Linkara with the swords, 90's kid with the nunchaku, Linksano with the bo staff and Harvey with the sais, since all of them are played by Lewis. Hopefully an idea for the next time we might get a Ninja Turtles review.
1:55 "Hi, Venus!" :D
I have a strange story to tell about how I came across the first issue of the original Mirage comic. At GameStop, they were offering a deal that if you pre-ordered the TMNT movie game based off the 2007 CGI movie (don't question my decision to buy the game, I was 9), you would get the first issue of the Mirage comic. At this point, the only Ninja Turtles continuities I was familiar with were the 2003 series and the live action movies, so I was used to the idea of a more serious take on the material (at least more so with the 2003 series). Imagine my 9 year-old self seeing the familiar scene of the Turtles fighting the Purple Dragons scene, only now the Turtles *killed* the gang members. Not to mention, Shredder dies in this issue. The most iconic villain of the franchise is killed off in the first issue. Sure, clones came around, but still. Reading that issue was an experience, one of the fondest memories I have with the Turtles.
Ah yes, worm clone Shredder and Shark Shredder, those were weird
I gotta admit... your normal speaking voice is what drew me in. the fact that you cbwr such a wide variety of comics is why I watched your series twice so far
You're Splinter impression is scarily good.
Cool, the Ninja-Style Dancer survived 2016. :D
But did he survive 2020
Star Trek has crossed over with the X-Men, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Green Lantern (I think that one is getting a sequel), and Planet of the Apes. I want to see the Enterprise gang meet the Ninja Turtles.
Turtles to me is like Power Rangers is for you Linkara. II watched both series religiously as a kid but Turtles is the series i ended up sticking with. Though i have no ill will toward Power Rangers and enjoy the nostalgia of it.
The main reason I think I stayed with Turtles is because the Turtles tend to explore, and be, darker and more mature themes then the Power Rangers. The 87 cartoon was fun as a kid, but teenage me greatly appreciated the darker and more comic accurate 03 series and how it just felt less childish.
Not saying Power Rangers can't be mature, just that they rarely attempt to do so. Something that I think is due largely to the two series vastly different origins.
And so Shredder joins the Joker and professor Moriarty in the one-shot villains who became recurring foes.
Zarus Tyran don't forget THE MIGHTY MONARCH!!!
And Jei-San
I think TMNT’s hiding place is a very good hiding place because what kind of weirdo would ever go in the sewer it stink
14:30 Now we know why Leo is a fan of the Animated Star Trek series in the Nickelodeon version.
I think one of the things I like about this version is the Shredder - he has a descent motivation and looks normal, which I also prefer from his later versions where I feel they try to Darth Vader him too much. It was also something I liked about the original cartoon.
been waiting for this for a long time
James Orville Yeah, I can't think of an ep I've been waiting for this much.
TMNT was the first graphic novel I ever got for Chistmas. My mother ruined it by blacking out the curse words.
I remember reading this at a library when i was a kid and i still think it is pretty much the best TMNT comic out there. I really hope someone would make this darker style Turtles into a cartoon or something, after all aren't ninjas supposed to be assassins anyways?
ikr but it will take awhile since tmnt is still seen as "kid friendly" and owned by viacom
7:11 Leonardo: The original Buster Blader.
I love how Rowlet is just staring at you through the video.
I’d love for you to dive back in to the Mirage Series and check out the Leonardo Micro-Series. Probably the pinnacle of Eastman and Laird’s original run.
*looks at the artwork*
More like heroes in a halftone, amirite?
Actually, Playmates DID do a 'Star Trek' inspired like of 'Turtle' action figures.
Why do they keep referencing it anyway?
“It’s Star Trek time!”
Actually Linkara you're right about the tails, they never show up again in other versions.
I like to think that in this continuity Karai is actually the daughter of Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen and Oroku Saki stole her as a baby when he murdered Yoshi and Shen and raised her as his own
Gaby George like in the most recent cartoon?
I gotta say, your Splinter voice (when you're reading, not making fun) is really spot-on!
Interestingly enough April was originally black
really? I thought she was Hispanic.
TouhouFather I have seen scans that contradict that, and not just in style but in the way she talked
Early on it wasn't clear.
She was originally meant to be asian, but then Eastman wanted her to be black and Laird wanted her to be irish
Samael51760 No, I’m pretty sure April was originally meant to be black in the original comics. The only other time she’s depicted as such is in the new Nickelodeon show. As for Baxter Stockman, I think he’s black in every incarnation of TMNT except for the ‘87 cartoon and the “Coming Out of Our Shells” concert.
“We strike hard and fade away… into the night.” We hit something or someone with so much force it causes us to dissolve from the pages.
Bit of a missed oppurtinty for a joke using the Secret origins montage.
Also, since you done Deadpool, you certainly changred your mind on latar characters. :V
