A lot of casual fans of the turtles have this misconception that the original Mirage turtles were all generic copy-pasted versions of each other.

Crazy to think the Mirage comics don't get the credit that they should
I wish the Mirage comics got more recognition. The only cartoon that mostly borrowed from it to my knowledge was the 03 cartoon. It would be nice to see a series that actually adapts the Mirage comics.
Great summary idk why fans don't read the mirage comics continuity more often passed issue 1
TMNT is not alone in this. The Mask, Men in Black, the entire post-MCU Marvel comics have also been overshadowed by casual-friendly adaptations. I could give you a dozen more examples from gaming if I had nothing to do today.
Most casuals only read TMNT #1 and get wrong ideas about the Mirage comics like the Turtles having no personalities.
Not out fault that #1 has been reprinted 200 times and the rest.... not so much.
@shamusomalley4263 wrong they've been reprinted in collections
That or they watch Turtles Forever and assume that’s how they actually were in the comics
@@shamusomalley4263 the first graphic novel publishings had most of the mirage comics main story reprinted book 1 had issue 1 2 3 raphael mirco series colorized with a short story or a pinup same with book 2 that had the t.c.r.i utrom triceraton saga issue 4 5 and 6 book 3 had shredder returns and the start of casey Massachusetts farm saga and book 4 was the cerebus tmnt cross over that were colorized in colored reprints sold in retail and comic shops and they had a non colorized collection and guest era collection with A.C. Farley covers and to get a hold of mirage comics tmnt books was you had to send order in the mail, go to comic conventions, or comic shop long boxes in your local state you could pirate them on the original tmnt website in the mid 90s -2010s before nickelodeon bought the rights or comic book pirate websites and today you could buy the ultimate collection 1- 6 or the omnibus featuring the fugitoid comic prequel to issue 4 5 & 6 t.c.r.i. space opera saga
@@red7078 they tried to make comparisons to watchmen rorschach and never read any of the issues passed free comic book day issue one and only looked to the archie adventures from back in the day or the 87 toon and 2003 show
I've only read a few of the old Mirage books. I have a few reprints. The turtle's faces are so distinct I never noticed that smile Michealangelo gave.
It got easier to read their face expressions as the drawing style advanced. The personalities really do come through with the duologue.
Since the book is black and white and the turtles don't have their colors you really do have to pay attention to visual cues like weapons. You can't passively read those books.
@AlphaProto I liked the amature art style in the less distinct with the beaks and cloth sash style they looked like turtles by proportions the muscular circular heads with the flat carapace wasn't my cup of tea as the art evolved I didn't like the string nunchaku and the stylized Sai eastman was drawing copying frank Miller Sai tips that were slanted edge than double edge tip
Thank you for making a video on this misconception
did you hear that Pat Renaday, who voiced Splinter in the 1987 cartoon, passed away?
Heard on my ninja turtles channel
I love the 1987 TMNT series even if it was goofy as shell
It was crap passed season 1 and season 1 was bad too
@@tyronleung5276 as you say bro
@@Jackfromshack look at the animation mistakes alone the acting mistakes beyond the anime influence and Peter chungs redesigns the series isn't that great when you take the nostalgia goggles off
@@tyronleung5276 I'm watching it right now for the first time actually, I'm on 5 season. What nostalgia googles? This show is actually fcking great, as soon you stop believing everything Cinemassacre/Nostalgia Critic type influencers tell you. Stop hating everything
@@Jackfromshack I've seen the show through vhs reruns as a child and uploads it's awful cinemassacre and channel awesome has nothing to do with my opinion and facts about the show being crap
The one thing most adaptations forget is that Mikey & Raph are actually really close, which surprisingly the Michael Bay films got right...
Yeah surprisingly I wonder what's tatoruzu's thoughts on the Michael Bay movie
@@Phantom-Shadow567 I personally would love the see a video on it.
@@cro-magnoncarol4017 I'd love to see him review "Rise" and the funny thing is there's this cartoon critic who was called a fake TMNT fan because he hates Rise the irony when you remember someone like tatoruzu
@@Phantom-Shadow567 I haven't watched it myself, but from what I've heard Rise was pretty good for what it was. Yeah, it made some strange changes to the formula a lot of people weren't happy with but it's nothing that can't be undone.
I'll have to check it out myself to make a solid take on it though.
@@cro-magnoncarol4017 Yeah I suppose you should do that
Though it's not always seen as Mirage cannon, the RPG books 📚 also focus on the Turtles personalities, and also physical differences in 1985.
One fun example is that it said that Donatello is the tallest way before the 2012 Nicktoon did.
@@jrr2480 That's weird. I think the back of the toy packages said the was the SHORTEST.
I'm gonna make it my goal in life to try and collect all the Mirage comics. I have the first few but I don't have the rest.
God speed
I remember in my ultimate collection volume 1, in the commentary, Eastman and Laird were debating if Donnie or Raph would be the tech head. Glad they went this route. And in every incarnation, I see Mikey as the Heart of the Turtles as well as the party dude.
@tonyangelo imagine if they went with a faithful adult cartoon back in the day like MTV liquid television maxx or hbo spawn spicy city heavy metal movie aeon flux what would a show like that be if we didn't get the childish 87 toon?
Love the background music
???
@@Chris_Thorndyke The background music is from Mario 64 and i like it. 😉
Thanks for this video.
Will you talk about the turtle's kill code?
@@latviandragon2718 the turtles kill
@latviandragon2718 the no killing rule came with the childish cartoon and movie censoring the turtles and the foot being ninja giving them laser blasters and making them robot henchmen censoring ninja and nunchucku and violence making the turtles toss away their signature weapons and resort to slapstick comedy in fighting. The mirage comics touched on subject matter of the fall out with the turtles killing shredder a second time during city at war and raphael stabbed a foot recurit kid who had no idea what he was getting himself into, who was sucked into the life of crime like his father joining the foot and that boy knowing april working at a coffee shop she drank from not knowing her relationship with the turtles and that boy sent home in a body bag by the foot not caring about their members only showing their loyalty to their master orroku saki
@latviandragon2718 the tmnt murdered the purple dragon gang in issue 1 splinter selfishly trained them to fight his battle and vendetta against orroku saki to avenge his owners deaths and didn't have the desceny to show up because he's a rat who outlived way over the life expectancy of a normal rat and contributed to the cycle of revenge by killing a man who wrongfully lost his incel domestic abusive brother orroku nagi to his own jealousy and bitterness towards yoshi for winning over his crush for tang shen and orroku saki through foot dark magics and science was resurrected to get his revenge on the turtles which april and casey got dragged into the cross fire or the turtles cycle of revenge which left open a power vacuum after the turtles slain shredder for a second time led to chaos which initially they wanted to not get involved after shredder was assumed permanently laid to rest until he resurrected a third and fourth time as a shark mutant who was killed by casey
@latviandragon2718 raphael almost killed Michaelangelo in a sparing match and he had learned his lesson and met casey who matched his psychopathic tendencies
Another reason that people think the '87 cartoon gave them personalities is because head writer David Wise told them that in interviews, saying things like, "I didn't create the Turtles, just everything about them that made them popular."
It's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't Splinter tell Michaelangelo he needed to control his anger in the first episode, then his anger issues were never mentioned again?
What's your thoughts on the Michael Bay's TMNT movie?
