    Mirage TMNT is an adventure. And it does have the Rat King. He showed up in the Tales of the TMNT side series and iirc was quickly killed by being knocked off a wall into his abandoned building lair, having his back break, and being left to starve to death/die of exposure.

    Volume 2 of these collections covers basically the second half of the 1990 movie and is overall a more cohesive story and definitely worth checking out as well.

    Great episode! I really hope you guys eventually cover Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest. It’s just so fantastic and entertaining. The Boy Thunder into Kingdom Come arc is truly one of the greatest Batman/Superman stories I’ve ever read! Love the channel!

    Even if you don’t read through the original run there are a few really great runs later on. I’d shout out The River by Rick Veitch as an example - love this series, thank you guys for covering it!

    As someone who grew up when the 2003 show was airing, I never knew the Uroms were in the original comic and super early. I always thought it was an homage to the 80s cartoon, since I never heard Krang or anyone mention that name in the episodes I saw of the first show.

    My introduction to the turtles was the 2003 cartoon. Listening to this I see so much ideas were taken and adapted into that cartoon.

    @CoronetChris 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    It's amazing to me, someone who grew up with the 2003 cartoon, just accepts all these shifts in story as classic TMNT lore. But to like Ben and Ethan it's just way out of pocket. Man the 03 cartoon was super loyal, and i love it!

    • @teddybeer6206
      @teddybeer6206 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because like 95% of 30-40 year olds, they got introduced to the series via the 1987 series....which was just as weird, if not weirder than the comics.

    Just a note. Peter Laird wasn’t a bachelor when they started working on TMNT. He was already married before he and Eastman met. You can get the story straight from him if you watch the Turtle Power documentary. Laird was also 30 at the time as he’s almost 9 years older than Kevin.

    As someone who just realized his knowledge of the OG Turtles only comes from the very 1st issue & the Turtles Forever crossover, it was cool to find out how many of the ideas seen in future adaptations were introduced from the beginning. While it’s a demonstrably 80s concept, TMNT has proven to be quite a versatile and timeless franchise imo

  • @Akari-br7ci

    This seems like it's more similar to the 2003 series than the 87 series. As a huge fan of the 2003 series I'm glad to know it was actually comic accurate

    29:50 According to David Wise, one of the writers on the 1987 turtles cartoon, the idea was that the Turtles would indeed, as you guys guessed, have a human compatriot on the surface to relay information to them and so they created a plucky reporter character inspired by Lois Lane. And when it came to naming her, he just took the name of an unrelated character, April O'Neil, and gave it to his new reporter character. And fun fact, once again according to him, her design (mainly the haircut and Jumpsuit) was inspired by Fujiko Mine from the Anime Lupin the 3rd, where she wore that jumpsuit when she posed as a reporter.

    Oh man, this comic brings back some childhood memories to me. I first saw TMNT as the 5-part pilot mini series of the late 80s animated series, to which I was drawn in by the better than decent animation (a trend not continued in quite a lot of the episodes for the regular series that followed) and the, how shall I put this... the original and unique world style setting of the Turtleverse. And I liked the animation as well, something which a good majority episodes in the regular series that followed appeared to have abandoned. It hooked me enough to seek out the original issue in this little comic book shop I found while traveling with my parents to Buffalo, NY, who tended to go every weekend to shop. And boy, was I ever intrigued by the comic, which I like far more than the animated series. I believe the first issue I could find was #10, which was the Return of the Shredder. I was immediately by this rendition of the main antagonist of the book as opposed to the animated series. The Shredder was actually a badass villain, and a legitimate serious threat to the existence of the heroes, rather than the whiny, cowardly Shredder the animated series presented. And so, I became more casual watcher of the series while becoming a more avid fan of the comic book. Eventually, the first live action movie came out (the sequels are best left unspoken of... diminishing returns and all) and I was pleased that while they kept the different colored masks and the fact that April was a TV reporter from the animated series, the overall plot followed plot points from several of those early issues.
    Those were the days. And thank you Sal, Ethan and, yeah, I guess you too, Ben (just razzin' ya a bit), for helping me relive those memories...
