What the fuck good are the turtles? Same with Secret of the Ooze. The turtles didn't even fight Super Shredder. He gets crushed by the pier. What the fuck good are the turtles??

it was always recognized as a masterpiece of puppety

they are only teenagers, they'll get better

For the second movie it was the same problem as the cartoons, they didn't want the turtles using weapons more than they had to because parents all over were freaking out about their kids beating the shit out of each other.

MASTER. MASTER.

>>218309635
the cartoon made huge piles of money so they wanted to go that route with it. completely understandable.

>over were freaking out about their kids beating the shit out of each other.
With homemade weapons

>>218309527
cuz it is

This always reminds me of the anecdote from my childhood where my mom didn't ever want me to get toy weapons but after the 100th or so time seeing me in the backyard using a stick as a gun or a sword she just gave up lol.

No man, there was a whole market at flea markets, comic shops, and sporting goods stores to have REAL ninja weapons.
I remember my friend had throwing stars made out of actual metal. They weren't razor sharp or anything, but it would totally put your eye out.

The south park episode was real?

>>218310152
More or less.
Up until the 90's no one gave that much of a shit. I remember having the original starscream transformer and I remember it being a 30lb hunk of die cast metal covered in sharp edges. A mace wasn't as deadly as g1 starscream.

Dude you're fucking gay. Shredder was just too strong and Master Splinter (and shredders own ego) were the only two things that could destroy him. I know you need the incredible hulk to win every fight but these movies are too advanced for you and honestly you sound like that punk bitch Danny.

His entrance drop was absolute kino. These guys really mastered cinematography.

I had a few of those. me and my brother used them like flails

And one of you probably still has a scar because you ran crying to your parents and they just said "I hope it fucking hurts!"

How come the early 90s look so different to the mid to late 90s? Early 90s was gritty while the late 90s was bright and shiny. No other decade went through such a drastic change.

pizza power from the soundtrack is an awesome song

Master splinter flipped him, he flipped him for real. Can you hear me in the back!?

Anon I have no idea what you are talking about. The gaudy day glo spandex people associate with the 80's is the early 90's. I remember having a windbreaker that was a neon-salmon that you could see from space.
The ninja turtles movie looks like that because it was shot on cheap film stock because they spent all the money on the turtle costumes.

>>218309635
>they didn't want the turtles using weapons
holy shit. they don't use weapons in secret of the ooze at all. i never realized that.

>>218310152
There used to be these places called malls and many had stores that sold random shit like fantasy weapons and japanese art. You could buy dangerous things with cash without your parents knowing. You should have been around for the 90s.

The traveling carnival and gas stations still sell the trench knifes that are wildly illegal. Cops arrest you if a civilian has it but not the corporation profiting off it.
