New TMNT Toon Direction decided (Update: Early designs revealed)

Prepare to be disappointed. That stuff was in the CD players of all the kids I knew when I was in high school, and it seems to be popular with younger generation too, going by how many videos on YouTube use similar music. To the song's credit, it REALLY sounds like a "real" song you'd find on the radio.
 
This actually looks really promising. Now I just hope the show can pump out some good story arcs over the next few seasons, and eventually end on a high note (ending a show this long in a satisfying manner can be pretty difficult, so I hope they pull it off well when the time comes).
 
The DVD for the second half of Fast Forward has already been out for a while. :sweat:

Unless you're talking about that you haven't been able to.



True. This IS the same series that has had a character (Baxter Stockman) "die" fifty times, yet come back at every single point. :p
 
I was right, the kiddies are voting for #3. I was starting to think they didnt have good taste. I'll be sure I vote for #3 atleast 500 times during my two week vacation. And no, I am not joking.

Man, do I love democracy. :D
 
I'm surprised at the honesty of those answers. I like how they brought up the fact that Darius Dunn and the Dark Turtles were left hanging at the end of FF.

Very interesting. It seems to me 4kids intend to keep this show going for a while yet, especially with all the future storyline hints they've been giving.

With both The Batman and Legion of Superheroes cancelled, TMNT and the possible Spiderman slot could be the two superhero shows 4kids promotes this Fall.
 
Keep in mind Murphy said those toy designs does not necessarily reflect the new season. Just like the TMNT wearing cyber armor toys, those were confirmed not to be in the show.
 
I loved him in Corporate Raiders. It kinda reminded me of the 2k3 episode where he created a deversion in the TCRI building.

Sir, we don't make toasters.... this says TRCI...and in crayon, sir!

Man, the best thing about the new toon direction, Casey Jones is BACK! I was disappointed their grandson was more April than Casey. I was always hoping he'd get so angry at Darius at one point, he'd adopt the mannerisms of Case just for good measure.
 
Here are some pics from the "Choose the theme song" commercial, including some we've already seen, as well as some we haven't. Blurry, but revelative.

By the way, I think this puts to rest the matter of pupils/no pupils in favor of "no".
 
Viral is comparable to Brainiac from Superman - yeah he's been killed dozens of times, but he always manages to leave a backup or three behind.

Between the different sneak peeks we've been given, it looks like this season is walking the line between the darker TMNT fans want and the "theme" show of 4Kids. Hard to tell which will win out in the end...
 
From what I can make of it, Hun's design looks pretty decent. Are those other sketches of Purple Dragon members?

And darn, looks like the TMNT really will "glow" when they go into cyber world.
 
^^^ Of course it does. You had Laird and Image wanting darker stories, Playmates wanting something with lots of toys (even to the point of attempting to bring eighties toon characters in the show) and 4kids looking for a gimmic or theme.

It's really a surprise we get anything when three sides want very different things. I guess this is because what all of them want is for the Turtles to continue regardless.
 
Well I see Stockman and where there's Stockman there is Bishop. Yeah those look like Purple Dragon designs and that new Shredder suit (Karai?) looks cool.
