LAST PERSON TO POST WINS

I'm not sure, but I believe that maybe love is only half for each person, and when they find their perfect match... well *shrugs*

[SlayerOfLight]

Well, it's kind of arguable wether true love is even present in this rotten world.

[AnimeFan101]

Right..... And this world truly is rotten.... rotten to the core.

Not everyone who deserves love finds it, and not everyone who has love deserves it. That's a fact of life. I've seen it first hand... and no I'm not talking about me (just in case anyone's wondering).

I don't know that I'd call this world rotten, because as bad as it is, it could still be much, much worse. There are actually some good things, a lot of which we take for granted. But in the reality of this world... well, things don't always go the way they should.

I started watching tmnt 2014 off hulu plus and i'm booooooored. The only ninja turtle movies I liked were the original and the cgi one...

I've never watched a TMNT movie. From the TV series I've seen bits of there wasn't sufficient interest.

The first one is one of the best live action adaptations ever. It kept the mostly darker tone of the original indie comics while having a bit of the playful tone from the cartoon that most people remember the franchise from. Solid script and performances, great action that isn't over the top nor poorly shot.

It also didn't pander too much to a younger audience.

The cgi one was a continuation of tmnt3. It had fantastic animation and action, decent enough acting and script and was a solid movie overall.

Was that the one where like the planets aligned and the monsters came out of them and they had to put them all back through the portal before the time was up or something? xD Because I remember watching that when I was like 9, even though I still have never seen the cartoon show. lol

[Elton John]

Yeah.

TMNT goes like this

There's the original black and white comics by eastman and laird. They were incredibly violent satirical jabs at the comic industry which was going in a super dark and gritty 'mature' direction that was mostly only done well by alan moore and frank miller (before he become a psychopath)

Then the 80's cartoon happened. The first few episodes were great. Toned down but managed to capture a lot of the gritty and dangerous feel of nyc at the time. Ever watch a movie called 'the warriors'? That's what many people thought the future of new york would be like as gang violence was greatly on the rise. Then it mostly became a show about selling action figures.

As the show continued there were three live action films, a concert tour with men in rubber suits (not even joking) videogames, new comic book series... Etc.

Then the next mutation happened. The first live action tmnt tv show, introduced a fifth turtle... Venus de milo... Most infamous for her... Ahem...cleavage on her shell. It was despised by the fanbase, was cancelled quickly and is rarely if ever referenced by other tmnt shows.

Then in 2003, years after the original tmnt show ended there was a reboot. It quickly grew a fanbase of old and new fans because it was awesome. A lot of tmnt fans debate which was better, the original or the reboot.

Then there was flash forward. I haven't seen it but it gets a lot of hate by the fanbase.

There was also a crossover movie between tmnt 80's and tmnt 2003. I haven't seen it but it seems to be well liked.

Then there was a tmnt anime movie because the brand is popular in japan.... I think?

Also important to note that tmnt and usagi yojimbo take place in the same universe. Usagi Yojimbo is an American manga (if that makes sense) made by a japanese man who lives in southern california whom I think is friends with eastman and laird.

There's also a new show on nick. I haven't seen it but it has gotten a lot of praise from fans of the franchise.

And a bazillion other things i've likely forgotten.
