You know what annoys me people that blab on and on about the "original" Turtles and how the new Nick show is "destroying their childhood" and then know nothing about the comic books, which actually are the original fandom.

It's really not important but I general silently facepalm to myself whenever I see people spouting off nonsense about this on Tumblr or Facebook.

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

That's funny, because where I'm from, the new Turtles is on Fox on 4Kids kids block.

Also, when I was a kid, I didn't know that the Ninja Turtles had a comic book. So I'm used to a goofy version of them and since the new show is more like the comic than the 80's cartoon, it's hard to adjust.

[mibu-roshi.livejournal.com]

The Nick show isn't starting until next Fall in the States, but they have some promo stuff up and some of the nasty comments they get on their Facebook for the show once again amaze me at fandom on the internet.

I like pretty much all versions of the Turtles (Minus the live action show from Fox in the late 90s *gags*) so I have no issue with someone preferring one version to another. It's just my general annoyance with that blanket "you are ruining my childhood" statement that seems so common on the internet, when frankly the new show hasn't even premiered yet and I think it's hard to judge something without having actually seen it.

[kryss-labryn.livejournal.com]

I actually kind of like that live-action show, for one single reason: You know the entrance to their underground hangout they'd zoom in and out of*? They shot that one morning at the little park just north of the PNE in Vancouver, BC-- which was the route you used to have to use to get into what is now the Cascadia Terminal wheat pool, where I worked at the time. We had to use the other parking lot and hike our asses around the long way that morning.

So I liked it (despite how terrible it was) because I was a huge Turtles fan back in the day, and every morning, thanks to that show, I got to drive in through the Turtles' front door to go to work.

Made me smile every damned time. XD

*New Brighton Park, it's called; if you drive in past the parking lot off McGill the road continues down under a railroad bridge to a turn-around for dropping off handicapped patrons. That bridge is the Turtle's entrance. They hung a sign over the text embedded into the concrete. http://g.co/maps/m7c6x (http://g.co/maps/m7c6x)

That's awesome and I completely understand!

I will always have a fondness for Turtle Pond in Central Park because the Turtles lived under it for part of the 2003 4kids show!!

Holy crap, I live in Vancouver and I know where that is. I need to see this movie just for the WTF factor. :P

[kryss-labryn.livejournal.com]

It's a very short-lived live-action TV show from the late '90s. You know. The one with Venus de Milo. If you search YT for "tmnt next mutation" you'll find it. And Hi!

[childings.livejournal.com]

Most people who enjoyed the cartoon as children were probably unaware of the comic book. The comic was aimed at an adult audience, so it's kind of hard to expect someone who was really into the TMNT cartoon at age 8 to be able to read and enjoy the comic book.

[mibu-roshi.livejournal.com]

I watched it at age eight and then read the comics when I got into my teens.

As I stated in my reply above it honestly doesn't matter to me which version you prefer it's being uninformed and lording yourself over others like you are an expert in that fandom that annoys me. The 80's cartoon is great, it really makes me laugh and I still enjoy it, but it's not the original version of the Turtles is all I'm saying. When people try to tell me I'm an idiot because I don't know anything about the fandom and they don't even know the comic is the original version yes I do judge them a little.

There are plenty of fandoms that I only like a little, enough that say I enjoy the films for them (like G.I. Joe for example) but I know next to nothing about the meat and bones of the fandom and I wouldn't try to present myself as an expert.

And that is honestly all I'm trying to put forth.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Oh nevermind, I get what you are trying to say now. That makes sense.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I wasn't even hardcore into the comic by any means but that's the TMNT I always remember and it gave me a weird moment to see it marketed as a kids show in the first place. But now it is what it is, I guess.

But as far as the OPs point, if people want to wear a T-shirt based on something they're never seen I really don't care.

It's not something I do -- I get people asking me if I actually saw the anime on my T-shirts because I'm way older than the target audience, but I don't buy shirts for stuff I'm not familiar with. But if someone else wants to do it, I don't really care.
