My parents wouldn't let me get the TMNT cereal because they thought it would promote violence.
Why yes, I am from California and my parents are union democrats how could you tell?
Heh, reminds me of when they banned the French dub of Power Rangers over here in Quebec because some kid died in some other country while playing "Power Rangers" with his friends.
Thankfully I already spoke English at the time so I just watched it on the English-language stations based outside my province...and thus not affected by the ban.
What kind of moronic bumblefucks would think that cereal will make you violent? Uh, no offence to your parents, though
One of my friends had parents that were Christian Democrats. Dude wasn't allowed to play with GI Joe because they're "violent" nor He-Man who was "satanic".
@@ShinSeikiEvan My parents wouldn't let me watch GIjoe or WWF..... Still sort of bitter about it lol... But at the same time, we saw movies like Willow and countless other violent and edgy movies.
I just came from a comment section full of Afghan War Veterans and the decisions they described coming from the Pentagon were less retarded than this.
"Color is a choice, not an objective upgrade". As an artist that works on graphic novels myself, thank you for saying this.
a-fucking-men my dude, wish my publisher felt the same way
Saves money too!
Also works as a tongue in cheek political statement
Blame zoomers with no imagination.
Yup, manga proves black and white can work.
@@rawlenyanzi6686 I was about to say that. Manga's lack of color was originally just a money saving technique that created limitations that made artists bloom.
I love that Razor takes breaks in-between reaming the MSM & politicians to cover nerdy stuff like this. Razor truly is my brother from another mother.
I hope he brings up some of this on Fridays video he's going to have a lot to discuss cough cough Cuomo.

Hey, everyone needs to a good palate cleanser
Razorfist is basically that cool cousin you made up as a kid.
My Grandpa took me to see TMNT in the theater despite my Grandma’s objections that it was too violent. After he died, I found a drawing I’d done of the Turtles that he’d kept for many years. I think about this often and I miss him very much.
My condols sir
My condolences, and godspeed to your grandpa’s immortal soul, he seemed like a badass and an awesome father figure.

Thank You For Sharing This With Us All. Godspeed!
He had me when he said “UNDERATED 2003 cartoon.”
Yes, the 2003 'Turtles' was such an underrated cartoon, and probably the only thing worth watching on 4Kids. Also, this cartoon needs more exposure since it has enough episode to air during the week.
I remember watching that as a little kid. Maybe too young.
The 2003 TMNT cartoon is probably part of what influenced my aesthetic preferences in cartoons in general.
Which is why the past 10 or so years have been torture because FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANIMATORS, DRAW A FUCKING EDGE!
that and the 2012 show.
Some of the episodes are direct adaptations of the original Mirage series, it's underrated but it shouldn't be
I had a buddy in high school in the late 80's who was into ALL of the RPGs. He turned me onto Battletech. When I bugged him to play that game, instead he hands me a TMNT graphic novel. I snorted and said no one except us will remember either of these 30 years from now,
I played the RPG and had the comics. And battletech and, of course AD&D
That RPG and its expansions still hold up, too.
No, that would be “Bade Biker and Orson”.
My very fist exposure to an RPG was Palladium Books TMNT, though my mom's at the time boyfriend. I was about 7 and the first time I met him he had two of his friends over and they were stating up their characters for a campaign. I still remember how blown my young mind was when I first laid eyes on the cover art for the game book (done by Kevin Eastman himself). He wold then go on to get me into Cyberpunk 2020 and anime, and lastly Battletech just before they sadly broke up.
Did you stop contacting him, or did something else happen?
Giving the turtles their own colored head-bands was probably the smartest business move ever.. kids could latch onto whoever they preferred, like having your favorite Beatle back in that mania
KISS. 🤟
@@doodlebob3758 That too!
As much as Razor's political diatribes can serve as entertainment at times, his comic, music, gaming and film analysis is unrivaled, and it's the best damn reason to be here.
Agreed! He is the reason my young millennial ass got into Robert E. Howard's Conan and Solomon Kane books.
For me, he's the only reason I found Elric of Melnibone . Also for rediscovering, and better understanding, who The Shadow is.
I love the amount of stuff we're getting outta Razor lately. He's on fire man.
Now if we can only get the Weekly RazorForce offensive, with or without tacticalhobo.
I feel like we're being treated.
It makes some tough weeks that much sweeter

@@ForeverTemplar That comment would be much more believable if you made it on a video that wasn't over 30 mins long. You know like this one?

And maybe include the 6 player arcade game.
@@Launchpad05 what do you mean maybe? Definitely!
X-Men Evolution on Cartoon Network was a guilty pleasure (not a fan of X-men, but i liked the details in that one)
The 2003 Cartoon had some surprisingly deep episodes for a kids show; the one that always sticks with me is the one where the Purple Dragons accidentally release a tentacled monster from an arms shipment, and you find out through it's POV that it was an American soldier who was mutated by the experiments of Bishop, the recurring enemy of the Turtles.
The fact that it's set after Shredder's defeat and exile really illustrated how many villains remained on earth, even after the Turtles defeated their primary foe
Yeah. Sadly, they never address Finn afterward. He's just out there, lurking still mutated, unable to see his family and friends while the man responsible for his misfortune walks without any consequences by the end of the series.
@@JuanLopez-tj6yk That's right, Bishop is still around in the future in Fast Forward; would have been nice to see him brought to justice
That 1990 movie was (still is) an absolute masterpiece. I still watch it on occasion
I watched it for years, then became a adult. I'd watch it from time to time, but when my son discovered my ancient VCR, and the VHS tape I had , he wanted to watch it. He instantly became a turtle Power kid, and bonus, I got to relive that same feeling again. He's a adult now, but my daughters and now my grandson also live TMNT.
Mako is just the best. Aku, Uncle Iroh, Splinter. Dude is brilliant.

I worked on the original cartoon in Dublin Ireland for Murakami, Wolf, Swenson and have a folder of super rough (re: Circles that were to represent the Turtles) (Think of the "How to Draw an Owl": Draw a circle and draw the rest of the Fk'n Owl!) as key animation drawings. I took it back to the German/Swedish/Scottish(??) ( I cant remember anymore) animator and told him as an assistant I couldn't work with this. He got pissed and re drew the keyframes. They were getting paid by the foot after all. All I remember from that moment of my life is 1) having my very first "room temperature" Guinness at pub across the street from the company, Whelans and 2) A scene of mutated plants crawling towards the horizon of a street. Ireland for the IRISH ONLY!
Im from county Wexford, justabout tree hours down the old road from Dublin. I was 10 in 1990 when I first heard of , and got into the Turtles. The cartoon was on the DJ Kat show on Sky One at the time, and of course the RTEs and BBCs of the time each day. I remember somebody at the time probably me friend tellin me that, he had heard that the cartoon I was glued to each minute was made in Dublin at the time. I cant telly ya how happy I was hearing that then! Sláinte agus go raibh maith agat don scéal maith. Cheers and thanks for the good story!
You're an Irish animator? Out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to work for Cartoon Saloon now would you?
@@filipinowhiteboy I'm not Irish, but i knew a couple guys from Cartoon Saloon. I think they had just finished work on Skunk Fu when i met them here in Canada
@@kylereece1979 I was working in Aniamtion in NYC when i had the good fortune to get the job there, I was staying in Donnybrook right across from the bus depot and walked to Dublin everyday. One Saturday I walked all the way to Black Rock Beach, then back. I miss Ireland. I Have distant relatives that were from County Lechtram(sp?).
@@RichardEKranz I liked reading that- many tanks for sharing the memories! As for your connections to the country, I tink you might mean country Leitrim which is in the upper west. That area of the country is great- very rural, rugged and looks and feels 'old", in a good way. Ireland overall though has changed a lot since you worked here, my friend. Dublin for instance is more spread out, developed. And most towns have expanded over the years.
The 2000s cartoon was underrated AF, probably overshadowed by the booming anime craze in the west of that time. Love how TMNT 2007 was like a soft reboot of the original movie series and the 2000s cartoon combined.
It was not really overshadowed by anything, considering that Eastman and Laird were surprised at the time that the response to the 2003 show and toy line was every bit as strong as the reception to the 1980s lines if not more so but a fair bit.
Eh the 1st 3 seasons had pretty good ratings and viewership. After season 4 the ratings droped and season 6 and 7 were pretty bad
I liked that the 2000 cartoon introduced Usagi Yojimbo during their multiverse arc..
I was 20 at the time it came out, and remember seeing a snippet in my busy life and thinking 'wow this looks upgraded to what my adult self wanted to see!'
Anime always seems to be in a state "craze" every time someone refers to it's popularity. I think it's just always been popular and is currently reaching heights in viewership that don't seem to be slowing.
My favorite crossovers involve the Batman/TMNT. I just really love how Batman just shows pure respect to Splinter. All three stories
Not to mention the animated movie.
@@ProfDragonite the movie was great. I just wish the stakes were as high
That crossover trilogy was amazing.
I would really like if marvel and IDW got together and had daredevil crossover with tmnt. They literally would go Hand and Foot
I've always believed that the first live action movie still held up. Vindication!!!
Oh, there's no debating.
Yep it’s easily the best Turtles film.
yes the gritty New York
F&*king A they do. Second one was the most weak sauce of the three, but overall they still beat the ass of everything since.
That's because it does.
My wife hadn’t seen the movie, and when I suggested it she was like “the goofy puppet one?”
Then she watched it and loved it because it’s a damn fine film.
I should rewatch it. I remember kinda liking it when I was a kid, but it has been literally decades.
@@oz_jones to be fair youre a cell.
*_The second I heard about Jennika, I had her pegged as a lesbian-ninja version of Kermit the frog, and you pretty much confirmed it. _**_7:45_*
*_As original as astroturf, she is. 🐸_*
Never heard the character before. Sounds like she erased Mona...
What is REALLY needed is obviously a BLACK TRANSRACIAL turtle (actually a crocodile who decided to become vegetarian) now ... oh and it has to be a female too ... for the quota!
Any bets against them doing something garbage like this next?
@@Muck006 Nope, I like having my money.
Yep and last time I checked in they add another female turtle via a dbz future trunks ripoff
@@minespatch Mona Lisa really wasn't that bad. It was the rest of that show that was. Had she been part of a better production she would probably have more fans.

TMNT is my jam. Every Saturday morning I would wake up and just wait to see what the new mutant was, I would save allowance to buy ninja turtles, and I was Ralph for Halloween.
Then that fucker broke the arm on my Michelangelo at school.
I will never forgive him.
Never forgive
Never forget
Who tf is Ralph? Did you mean Raph(ael)?
He doesn't need to be named. 'That fucker' will do just fine. So he shall be into eternity.
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 Y'know, it's Ralph, brother of Leonard and the other two.
Probably the same fucker that broke the head off my Luke Skywalker and laughed that "Han Solo's head fell off!!"
I liked that Razorfist gave his enthusiastic endorsement for the 2012 Nickelodeon series, as it's the reason I'm any sort of fan of the TMNT.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find time in my calendar and room in my budget for Turtle comics.
"I frankly wish'd I'd grown up with it!"
Somewhere, out there, there is a monkey's paw attempting to grant that wish. Thankfully, the owner is grappling with it to prevent any of the fingers from curling.
The 2000 show absolutely slaps. I watched that religiously and bought some of the games. Wasn't a fan of when they went to the future but I still watched it.
Dude those games were fucking awesome. My siblings and I played the fuck out of them. They had cool abilites, replayability, collectibles. Man good times
I love the 2003 cartoon
TMNT is still one of m favorite franchises. I wouldnt have Casey Jones fanart if it wasn't
Bruh it slaps bruh. Swag.
@@SpaceandGoats I had multiple Casey action figures, he was my favorite.
I love how they went for a Bruce Timm Aesthetic. Their Jack Kirby tribute still gives me goosebumps.
Seriously though when even razor likes the 2012 series you know it’s great
It surprised the hell out of me when I first watched it. It's really good

-You Fucking Know Who
Fun Fact: TMNT had a Tabletop RPG before it had a cartoon.
Sadly it doesn't get enough love.
I'm trying to get it put together. Though if anyone else is interested, you can get a working version in Heroes Unlimited.
The base game is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness.
Well, it was the mid 80's!
Mind you, given what happened with Dungeons and Dragons, a game all about going into underground tunnels must have seemed like a deliberate pisstake.
It's my goto ttrpg for sure.
I was introduced to _TMNT_ by the Palladium RPG a year or two before the cartoon began. And yeah, it comes across almost as a supplement for _Heroes Unlimited,_ Palladium's generic superhero RPG. If you can get your hands on it, a copy of _Ninjas & Superspies_ is an excellent companion piece; it's got a more thorough set of rules for ninjitsu as well as other mystical (and some less so) martial arts.
How is it that a movie I saw when I was 9 (1990 TMNT) was able to bring genuine water to my eyes after seeing 2 scenes with master splinter.
How do those movies with obvious people in rubber suits have a better ability to dig deep into human emotion then most movies today?
Great soundtrack and people that actually cared about what they were making. I still watch that movie almost yearly. Still great.
@@bryan81584 Dead on. Came to say the same.
@@bryan81584 These movies also LOOK more real ... because there is no FLAT CGI-greenscreen fighting and effects. The rubber costumes have depth because they ARE REAL ... unlike all the CGI in Marvel movies.
It's not the suits, it's the writing/directing.
Showing love to both 03 and 2012 turtles? Your pallet is exquisite Mr. Fist
I give this a 9.95, Raz0rfist.
This is what we do. Regular or Menthol.
REAGANOMICS!
There's a school of thought about manhood where-in, to be complete, a man must master four paradigms that round his life. The turtles represent these precisely.
The King (Leadership) Leonardo | The Warrior (Aggression): Raphael | The Magician (The Arcane): Donatello | The Lover (Sensation): Michaelangelo
Thus, if you ever identified with one, know that each is within you, that they must be disciplined, and be mindful when to draw upon them.
Watch the original film again and note the symbolism of boys and fathers, extremes of personalities, and the turmoil and growth toward becoming honorable men.
Moore and Gillette. Jungian archtypes. Well, whattya know.. yet another facet of The Hero's Journey and Christopher Vogler's Disney memo.
Now, if TMNT can delve into Jung's concept of the shadow self, we might really have something even more profound here.
That’s cool. Never heard of Christopher Volger, but I did hear about his book “the writers journey” a while ago.
Bobson Dugnutt. Wow. Maybe that’s why TMNT is so timeless. I mean, multiple generations of kids love it. It’s not exclusively 80s.
I grew up with the ‘03 TMNT, I only wish I was able to catch it more often on Saturday mornings

It's all on youtube
It ran on Cartoon Network when i was younger. Was pretty great!
"Much like Spoony all I wanted was some more!"

Why the hell would anyone want to move to Chicago? I would think most sensible people would want to leave Chicago.
Nice guy? He was always quite cantankerous.
Watching Tim Burton’s Batman & the 1st TMNT movie in the theatre are still some of my strongest childhood memories.
Fuck yeah! TMNT IDW was great. Got to 94 and bowed out because I was hearing the change in writing.
I was into TMNT so young, my pronunciation of the full name was absolute gibberish with infliction.
Hahahaha
Teamentea
I loved TMNT so much it got me picked on by other kids,. It's funny how in my adult life if I choose to be obsessed with toys I'd get praise for being a nostalgic manchild....but back then, you don't wanna get caught having toys in the 6th grade by other kids
🤔 I notice it more and more everyday.
Ugh, yes. 6th grade was so awkward and awful. I remember my 6th grade teacher even joining in mocking me for still collecting toys.
Are you the ninja turtle girl?
@@Tallahassee21 Nah, that was way after my time in the fandom. I probably would have sexualized it though if it were
@@stakeaphobicz498 yikes we talking interspecies stuff or adding pizza to bad acts
Even watching it today, there are few scenes as gripping in a comic book film (or hell, in any movie, for that matter) as the final showdown with Shredder in the original TMNT movie. The raw emotion that runs through the scene is palpable, and Splinter's parting line for his old enemy still gets me to this day:
_“Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be....without honor.”_
Ice cold.
as a loyal viewer of 4Kids and FoxBox in the early 00s, I thank you for acknowledging how underrated the 2003 TMNT series was
Razor: Twirl some useless ass nunchucks.
Me: I see you're a fan of Shad from Shadiversity too😁
Donatello is the smart one. He chose the big stick.
@@pacman10182 Yeah, you know, the artist?
Shadiversity is an idiot though ... because he ignores the LIMITATIONS of peasants ... who used nunchucks because those were the TOOLS they had available. Many of the japanese weapons were farming tools ... to rake hay or thresh grain or whatever. Sure they are less effective than other weapons ... but if they are the one thing you have?
@@AnthonyJones-xk8ue Eyyy, man of culture.
@@Muck006 that’s a flat out myth created to sell something that wasn’t real.
Sorry bruh, I’ve studied karate for years (matayoshi kobudo and Kobayashi shorin ryu, along with JKA styles) and you bought that mythos hook line and sinker, with the obvious exceptions of the hoe and oar (kuwa and iyeku)
As a fellow TMNT absorbed 90s kid. Yes, the 2000s show was severely underrated! I love how they tried to scale it back to the serious dark tones of the comics.
I beseech thee to consider a dive into that series in the near future
I believe you're going for "beseech" unless you are attacking Torinaga from TMNT: III
@@shrubby-ov4yw 🤪
It's an excellent show!!
The 2003 version is by far the best (even factoring nostalgia for the first series).
Yeah, i gave it a go in college. I watched the OG series and then the '03 when i was in animation school. '03 was the better effort in every measure
Yeah i think what hooked me was the Leonardo vs foot soldiers fight on the rooftop early on in the series. They always left me on cliff hangers to what was going to happen, just to had me watch the next episodes. But 2003 was pretty good. I became a fan of 80s show in the 90s. But its more family friendly, whereas 2003 is more action and overall interesting colour and style choice of the show
I agree. the 2003 series was probably the most faithful cartoon out of all of them.
2003's fusion of Shredder and Krang was a neat surprise. Watching Stockman's descent as he lost pieces every time he crossed paths with the turtles. The slow upgrade from the Purple Dragons (and Hun initially being a match for all four turtles, both as a fighter and as a tactician) to the Foot with Karai.
The finale movie left kind of a bad taste, though. It was _supposed_ to be a crossover between the '89 and '03 turtles, but instead way too much of the interaction boiled down to "Look how lame the '89 turtles (or worse, the villains) were!'
"IDW's TMNT . . . BUY IT . . . then stop buying it!" Oh Razor, you made a funny!
Imagine a Turtles film that's a little grimy featuring Raid 2 style fight scenes
That would be awesome.
I need this know! On my veins!
Inject this into my venis that would be badass
Ever see that Casey Jones fan film?
No not yet
Castle Grayskull & TMNT Sewer was the two best Christmas mornings of my life. Anyone remember the TMNT pies? Just like the cherry or chocolate pies Hostess makes with the pastry dyed green and packed with custard.
I'll never forget them. They came with stickers and I slapped one on my dad's flight bag, so he would be walking through Chicago O'Hare airport with a sticker of Raphael on his bag. Those were good times. Kids just don't have stuff like that anymore.
Itsagundam used to eat those things all the time when he was young.
Gotta throw in the Ghostbusters building where you could pour the green slime in the top!
The TMNT pies were AWESOME.. a nice textured crust, and a vanilla pudding filling. I was legit angry when they went away, because they were WAY better than what Hostess put out.. and Hostess commercials saturated my childhood in the early '80s. I don't remember how I scraped money together to get a pie, but it was well worth the approximately $1.75 I paid for it.
I was 3 in 1990, and I’ll forever remember laughing at “some kind of turtle in a trench coat” during the movie
"She's a serious artist guys!"😂😂😂😂
I remember seeing the old TMNT black & white panel comic in an old Dragon Magazine back in the late '80s. Before anybody knew what the hell it was.
Only reason it stuck in my memory was due to how oddly gonzo it was at the time. Ninja turtle people? What the fok is this insanity?
Thank you for stating that the 2003 cartoon is underrated. It was my introduction to TMNT, and on that note Transformers Armada is my favorite version of, well, Transformers.
Best out of context turtle’s line ever - “TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOR!”
Oh man. I gotta level with you here.
That rooftop fight scene between Raph and Leo from TMNT '07?
My favorite bit of TMNT period.
Someone is excited for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.
After seeing how good Streets of Rage 4 has been I’m pretty hyped myself.
My 4yr old son is a huge TMNT fan. He's going to lose his mind once it releases! We've played the old NES/SNES games but I've been keeping this one hush hush until it's out.
Konami's arcade games are stone cold classics.
Disney's Gummi Bears™ was rad, your childhood was a hellscape.
I remember it being a lot better that any "based on a candy Michael Eisner's daughter liked" cartoon should be.
The 1990 movie holds up. I saw it in the theater like ten times and watched f.h.e. video cassette (with the baseball pizza hut ad) countless times. I'd been watching the cartoon series since season 2. I was 7 when the movie came out, so I was the prime age for it. My wife and I watched it again a year or two ago and were surprised by how solid it still is.
That Pizza hut commercial was amazing. I still remember the words to the song to this day. "Because I play right field....."
@@aaronthompson192 "It's important to know..."
@@thewal1ofsleep Ya gotta know how to catch
Yup. 1990 was my 6/7 age year so I was fully caught up in turtle mania.
“…out where the dandelions grow.”
If anyone is confused about the IDW TMNT Volumes vs the individual issues like I was, even tho "she who shall not be named" is on the cover, issue 13, actually (thankfully) the 13th Volume STOPS right at issue 100.
So what that means is scrounge up about 600-800 bucks (because they're all 50 dollars apiece) and just buy the first 13 Volumes, no more, no less!
I had no idea when the '07 film released. It is my favourite TMNT production to date. It's a wonderful case of covering the basics (and the Leo/Raph love/hate plot is as basic as it gets) while updating the style.
Beyond that, the E&L series were the only graphic novels I owned as a teenager.
The 2003 toon and the old ass movies were my personal introduction to the turtles.
I still remember that ooz shit that came with those toys, mom hated that shit lol
I love when nerds gush about their hobbies. It makes me appreciate my hobbies even more.
Oh God that intro. I’m having flashbacks. TmnT was my life growing up. Personally for me the OG live action movie was and still is the best thing turtle ever made.
I literally teared up at the inevitable rooftop duel between Leo, and Raf two of my favorites turtles.
Fortunately for me, I was born at a time when I got to enjoy He-Man, G.I. Joe, Transformers and TMNT all while still being a kid. What’s really great is my dad took me to see the first TMNT movie, and I got to take my son to see the TMNT reboot. Thank you 80’s and 90’s.
Nothing as near and dear to my heart as the og TMNT movie. So many core memories.
Growing up with Turtles in the 80's, I was hesitant to buy my kids the Nickelodeon Turtles show, but Razor is right. That show is actually pretty good.
I loved watching it with my kid. We would both watch the old one and the 2012 one, it was awesome to get to enjoy that with my daughter.
I heard the Nickelodeon series was good, though I have never seen it.
@@justinlawliet2136 It is good. Kind of like how Airbender is good. It was a nice suprise and fun to watch as an adult.
Those old Turtle comics are an absolute treasure and joy to read. Eastman and Liard were really on a hot streak back at Mirage.
I'm surprised that razor likes TMNT, I thought he'd hate it, tbh I thought TMNT wasn't a popular franchise
@@delta2372 you should read the old comics, they are great!
I love the 80s comics by Eastman, especially Return Of the Shredder.
@@justinlawliet2136 I do reviews of them on my channel! Check it out.
I personally favored the limited run of TMNT "BodyCount" which was illustrated by the legend Simon Bisley.
LOBO...
@@impendingdoom385
Have been a Lobo fan for a very long time. Bisley's work on Lobo is what got me to buy the TMNT Body Count books. :)
TMNT (1990) is still one of the best and one of the most source-accurate comic book movies ever made.
It also LOOKS "real" ... more real than most Marvel CGI-feasts called Endgame or whatnot ... because it IS real and there were no wire-greenscreen fight scenes.
LOL thanks, I'm now clearing off my calendar to binge watch the TMNT movies 🥰
The third one (with the puppets) is goofy as Hell.
God this brings back memories. I have the entire 2003 series on disk. Probably watched it 30 times when i was super young
Glad to see you enjoyed the 2003 show. Damn, it really is underrated and overlooked.
While you're wearing that Manowar shirt, did you know Ross the Boss is subbed to your channel?
That's cool. Maybe there's hope for the Manowar Metal Mythos yet!
No way!!! That's awesome!!
So, there are still guys with common sense in the Metal-scene, and not just idiots like Dee Snyder? Damn.
Yes a Manowar Metal Mythos is going to be awesome
I grew up on the early 2000s TMNT cartoon. Definitely underrated.
Same here man
The original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is still my favorite movie of all time, as well as my most viewed movie ever (with no other movie even coming close). It is a flipping masterpiece, and is as great today as it was back when I was 2. It might even be better now that I am able to understand and feel more of the movie after becoming a father myself. I know what I am watching tonight.
Cowabunga!
Edit: This video is fantastic, by the way. Got so caught up in nostalgia of the first movie that I forgot to say so.
Sorry to necro your comment, but I think TMNT, T2: Judgment Day and the original Star Wars trilogy might be my most watched movies of all time. The only other tapes which might come close were the ones full of TMNT cartoon episodes (87 series, seasons 1-3) my dad recorded for me on TV as they aired. No wonder all those cassettes started playing like shit eventually.
Berserk has the most beautiful art of any manga every and it only uses 3 colors: black, white, and grey
I still remember my dad taking me to see the movie (I think opening night) in some little single screen theater in a small town. It was rainy, so the sidewalk and brick road of the town square were reflecting the street lights. Pizza from my favorite mom and pop shop, too. We don't get too many perfect experiences in life, but that was one.
People tend to also downplay how great the ost for that original Turtles movie is as well.
shit is killer bro still listenin to it today
love the tatsu attack song hella dark
Holy shit, another Razorfist comic book video! And what a hell of a choice...always was a big TMNT fan since I saw the 2003 animated series and the first live action movie as a kid, so I'm enjoying this!
Finally someone gives the 2012 series the much needed praise. I love that series so much and hands down has the best Splinter.
I'm glad someone finally shows appreciation for the 2007 TMNT film though when I was kid I always felt like I missed a movie because the story is so confusing.
2003 Shredder is my favorite just with the design and persona, but the Original Movie's Shredder is hands down one the best villains in cinema. His intro scene is like the bad guy version of Indiana Jones.
I always knew Raphael was my favorite Turtle for a reason I mean we’re both hot heads,Metal heads,and enjoy pizza.
Oh the Spoony jab. God I miss him. He hasn't even streamed in 10 months.
Another case of being terminally on Twitter. So sad.
@@asher8754 He's also finally been evicted. I'm not sure if he's either now homeless under some underpass, still trying to make his way home, or is now home with his parents or siblings.
@@dragondude9637 His brother's probably dealing with him now.

I had the honor to meet Eastman and Liard at a comic convention in 1991. Surprisingly there was no line to meet them so they talked with me and discussed my favorite parts of the comic. It was amazing, and I never forget how approachable they were.
I respect Peter Laird's talent, though I do sometimes have a hard time forgiving him for the shitstorm that was Turtles Forever. Especially after several people who worked on that film have come forward over the years and revealed that they tried to talk to Laird multiple times during the film's production about his treatment of the Fred Wolf/1987 characters. They warned him that making the most iconic and beloved incarnation of the franchise look like a bunch of brain dead, ineffectual, incompetent, cowardly, losers, none of whom having a shred of their characterizations intact would piss off long time fans and split the fanbase. Peter Laird, who was never a fan of the 1987 series despite it making him rich and paving the way for his 2003 series to even exist, made them stay the course. And wouldn't you know it, Turtles Forever, which was a film that had an amazing idea, but shat the bed with it, ended up permanently splitting the fanbase, and pissed off countless long time fans.(myself included) The 2012 series made a far more respectable crossover with Trans-dimensional Turtles..... but then they inexplicable took their own turn at bashing the hell out of and misrepresenting the 1987 turtles and company with their Wanted Bebop & Rocksteady special. Despite some hilarious scenes between 1987 Shredder and Krang and 2012 Bebop and Rocksteady, this particular crossover slipped back into the Turtles Forever bullshit of making the 1987 turtles look like a bunch of incapable boobs. Why is it so damn hard to make a kickass TMNT crossover with the Fred Wolf series? If the Power Rangers can make regular crossovers where all of the different versions of the team get to shine and look cool, why can't the TMNT franchise pull it off? The hell is wrong with them?
I've been waiting for new video from you about comics, always enjoy hearing your recommendations.
I am not in deep on TMNT but that first movie gets me in the gut every time when Raf screams out in rage as his father is discovered abducted. And the grimness of Raf being beating into a coma.
I grew up in North Carolina, about 50 miles away from Wilmington, and Carrolco Studios where the TMNT Movie was filmed. I attended High School with a guy that ended up being an extra in the movie. He played the part of the Foot Soldier that gets into the Nunchuku battle with Michaelangelo: "Oh... a fellow 'chucker, eh?". When the movie came out on VHS, my brothers and I would watch the movie over and over again until we had the lines memorized and could do our own little version of Audience Participation. It was a great time to be a kid.
My introduction was the ‘03 TMNT that show was pretty kickass
07 I remember being in the theater when it released nostalgia overload
Razorfist content: not just must see viewing, but immediate viewing
Dude, you have been killing it, especially lately. No matter what topic, whether it's Rageaholic Cinema, a political rant or something like this, just A+ stuff, brother (Hogan voice). Keep it up!
Every year I'd go to my shelf, pick up my dvd copy of the '90's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and just bask in the glory of its craftsmanship. From its meaty practical effects, to the defined simple and deep characterization of the turtles, the 1990 flick FEELS less like a comic book movie as it does a final celebration of 80's filmmaking to its most sincere core. A movie that celebrates BOTH mediums unapologetically without any insecure condescension whatsoever.
And congratulations on reaching 300k Rageaholics, Razor! It's been a wild ride worth continuing!
mad respects for shoehorning in spoony without toddler level insults. and yes, we all wanted more
1:43 "The underrated 2003 cartoon"
I'm hitting the like button for that alone
I remember watching the animated series TMNT 2003; 2007 movie was fucken awesome
As much as I love to hear you rave about comics you love, it may be just as good to hear Eastman and Laird rave about the original TMNT film.
The fact that you mentioned the 2012-2017 TMNT series, as that was the one that got me into TMNT, and said that you liked it, basically confirmed it was a badass take on the shell shocking turtles.
The 2003 and 2012 shows were good and so far I’m liking the last Ronan, aside from the way Leo and Casey went out it’s so nice that the property as a whole hasn’t been infected like many other beloved franchises before it.
Hopefully it stays that way.
Don't remind me. That was really disappointing for those two.
Just wait for it.
Spoilers. People that haven't read it don't know which turtle is the survivor. Now I know it's not Leo: (
It would be awesome to have a dark tmnt series or movie. Like ruthlessly violent and gritty but still held some of the old characters traits. Just go way out and make it shocking but not silly.
Rotoscoped, stark animation like the French flick Renaissance? Maybe with "animated" crosshatching or screentone, if an AI could do it convincingly (even North Korean animators would strike if you told them to do that shit by hand)
The expression on those kids faces at the end is fucking GOLDEN!
in 1990 all i wanted to be for Halloween was Leonardo. The costumes were sold out everywhere, including the K-Mart store my dad was in charge of. Mom spent days making a costume for me. She sewed a mask, and elbow pads, made a belt buckle with an "L" and front and back shell out of painted cardboard. Bought face paint, and a green bathing cap.
Then on Halloween day, dad came home early. He had a legit costume shipped to his store from another K-Mart. Arrived just in time and he took the afternoon off to come save the day and steal ALL the thunder from mom.
30 years later and i still feel a little pang of guilt for not wearing the costume mom made me, but come on. Who wants to be janky Leo when you can be legit? I wore that costume until the pants were just shorts,
Rest In Peace, I love you Pop!
