And the turtles would be weak, feeble and stupid who trip over their own feet and only win by complete accident/coincident.

    I found the real turtles in 1989, when I was in 5th grade. A local bookshop had a single dog eared copy of the collected first several issues; First Graphic Novels TMNT volume 1. I had leafed through it in the store and was mesmerized. I was already a big fan, and being a 10 year old kid, I thought the extra gore was just f$&king awesome. I carried that book around and showed all the other kids, especially the ones that said that the turtles were lame. I think I converted a few kids, at least. Thanks for the video.

    EXCELLENT video. I loved learning about a lot of lore I didn't have before.
    Question to ponder though - is it really tragic that Saki became the shredder and died? His brother was the original bad guy, and Yoshi killed him to save Nagi's victim. Saki chose to side with his brother despite the horrible thing he had done. Taking vengeance on someone who was justified in their actions isn't tragic, it's a decision to do wrong.
    Also, if the turtles had decided to break the cycle of vengeance (as they did when they left for a year), things only got worse. So the cycle seems to be unbreakable even if someone decides to turn their back to it.

    • @TheTurtleNexus

      It's not uncommon for relatives from the same criminal family to defend their kin no matter what kind of atrocity they committed. They also completely ignore or even blame their relatives' victims for forcing their hand/putting them in a bad light/surviving long enough to cause trouble.
      I mean, we have IRL relatives of mafia bosses demanding respect for their dad/grandpa and blaming the public for being judgemental or Yakuza pretending to be good guys because they look after the community (yeah, ignore the rapes, drug dens and extortion, they are just minor inconveniences).

      But in the case of Ch'rell he was using those biocytes to heal. The original Shredder was eaten by the worms (and was already dead). But it could have been an easter egg now that I think of it.
      As for adaptations of this story, the original idea Eastman and Laird had for the movie trilogy, was that they were going to set up the Shredder's return in the second one, and adapt "Return to NY" in the third one. That would have adapted the worm Shredder story. I covered "Return to NY" in another video.

    This version of Shredder is so underrated. Apart from the fact that it is the version that gave birth to one of the best imaginary villains of all time, he is well structured as a character: a sympathetic backstory that however does not detract from his wickedness at all. Even its design is effective in its simplicity.
    It would be nice to see this story in a future TMNT adaptation, especially for the possible interactions and point-of-view confrontations Shredder would have with the Ninja Turtles. I mean, Shredder joined the Foot Clan to avenge his brother, and the Ninja Turtles are brothers who really care about each other. Such an emotional confrontation between them would be beautiful.

  • @Marcara081
    @Marcara081 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The reason TMNT is popular generation after generation is because it's fundamentally about brotherhood and fatherhood, as the OG film rightly focuses on. Young boys are so starved for it that they gravitate towards any father figure and brotherhood they can find, even the gang leader Shredder and his foot clan.
    Shredder: "Money cannot buy the honor you have earned tonight; you make us all proud. Only effort, discipline, loyalty earn the right to wear the dragon doji. You are here because the outside world rejects you. This is your family. I am your father.''
    This warned young men that the right message can come from the wrong people. So just because you find a group of like-minded people doesn't mean you form a healthy community nor a replacement for a true father.
    Casey Jones: ''You call this, here, and that, down there, a family?''
    Casey Jones, after saving the turtles and being adopted into their family, rescues the father (Splinter). He shows the foot clan real family - not blood but love and sacrifice. It HAD to be Casey too. It's part of the film's message. He also saves Splinter with his narrative counterpart, Danny, as they both learn the right lesson in the end and Danny is redeemed. Danny also returns to his father as more of a man (''It's Dan, dad.'') and they reconcile. Danny left because his father was weak. Now Danny will help his father with his father's own weakness, showing Dan's maturity. Rather than resenting his father not meeting his expectations, Dan can help his father rise to Dan's expectations of him. They will grow together and so you have the final lesson of the movie: THIS is what it means to be a family.
    Honestly, this film is designed for young black men more than anyone. It should be shown in schools.

      I wouldn't rule out the versions that weren't loyal to the Mirage comics. Some adaptations of the Shredder were very well handled, and the most recent one had a very satisfying ending as well.
      But yes, the 2012 version managed to do the "cycle of vengeance" in a way that worked well for kids animation (it was done in a way that both Saki and Yoshi were victims, so they weren't the ones that started it). That was a very well thought decision.
