  • CARTOON EVOLUTION #42 / POP CULTURE EVOLUTION #9 - TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (TMNT)
    I take a look at the history and evolution of the TMNT. Launching in 1984 as a small, independent comic - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quickly exploded! With a globally popular cartoon series, action figure line, and live-action movie trilogy in only a matter of a few years, Turtlemania took the world by storm - spawning dozens of re-boots, spin-offs and franchise instalments in the following decades.
    In this video, we’ll trace his evolution from 1945 to now. To do so, we’ll trace their evolution from 1984 to now. To do so, we’ll touch on their design and thematic changes over 4 decades of comics, series, movies, and merchandise. Here's my look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles through the years!

    I love how this whole massive franchise literally spawned from a joke. The concept is so outlandish, yet works so well. I first got into the turtles from the 2012 series, and I absolutely loved it. It's how I first got really into ninjitzu. They're the ultimate ninja team, and the world wouldn't be the same without them.

    I think one of the things that has made TMNT so special is how it such a silly premise, but it embraces the concept with sincerity, allowing audiences to be in on the fun. Also, and this is most prevalent in Mutant Mayhem, it really tackles themes of being the weird one and the feeling of wanting to fit in, but fear that no one would accept you, which I’m sure most people can relate to. It sure is a property that has “the outsider” written in it’s DNA, not just because of the mutant and stealth elements, but also that it started off as an independent piece of work from just two guys, isolated from the biggest publishers, which I find very inspirational.

    I’m glad that Rise has garnered a very loyal fan following after it was initially savaged by older fans. I’m sure many agree that Nickelodeon should have given it more of a chance and let it “find it’s voice” like other series that garner scorn. Fortunately Netflix made a great call by securing the deal to make the movie, and give it the ending it deserved.

    • @thedefinitionisthis
      @thedefinitionisthis 10 месяцев назад +10

      The show, I admit, wasn't necessarily for me... but I absolutely HATED how older fans were so toxic towards it, ridiculing it and those who enjoyed it. While it's not "my" Turtles, I aboslutely appreciated them taking a creative swing with it, and more than anything else, I LOVED the animation. "Rise" and its fans definitely deserve better. Now that I think about it, I actually really enjoyed the "Rise" movie!

I think a big factor in the initial scorn was that it was very different from last iterations and more colorful, humorous and energetic. It also didn’t help that it premiered only one year after the conclusion of the 2012 series, which enjoyed an increasingly darker tone and strong storytelling as it went on.

    Despite Venus being very hated by fans and by Laird, she HAS made appearances in the IDW comics, and the 2012 series has made a noticeable noticeable homage. This includes a graphic on the side of the Party Wagon of a green pin up girl on a bomb that says “Venus”.

    The original 1990 movie is still my favorite version of the characters. It had a great balance of the comics' darker edge, the cartoon's sense of humor, and a story with sincerity and heart. It also gave us those awesome Jim Henson's Creature Shop designs. I haven't seen Mutant Mayhem yet but it looks pretty fun. I'm glad the Turtles are still going strong.

    The 2014 Ninja Turtles movie is a weird one. It may have some weird creative choices like having Shredder and Eric Sachs be two separate characters and can be quite convoluted like how Sachs was responsible for the destruction of the lab and killed April’s father, but at the same time, it does have some very enjoyable moments, such as the hoshi scene and the elevator scene. This is why I much prefer Out of the Shadows, as I feel it’s a lot more consistent and focuses more on being a live-action episode of the ‘87 cartoon. Yeah, it’s also not perfect but it’s the more enjoyable one imo.

    So far I feel like the franchise hasn't had a true failier with it's animated shows, and or it's animated movies really. The original is a massively influential classic, the 2003 and 2012 shows are both fantastic in their own ways, and while I've not seen the 2018 series it does sound like it turned out better than many of us initially feared. Even the 2007 film I remember thinking was alright, and from the look of it the Batman crossover and the new film are also both really solid.
    The major point of struggle always seems to be live action, with basically only the original movie being unanimously liked and all others being either mixed or outright hated

Overall, really nice evolution of our favorite ninja turtles.

    So I've noticed, over the years with TMNT, the following will happen.. The first movie will be a hit, the sequel not so much but still make some money, there will be a turtle fatigue where people will lose interest in a series but come roaring back for the next one, and finally... no matter how gritty or tough the turtles are, a parent group will come in and ruin the series! This is happening with the original 80s Show, 2003 series, and onward as they feel the turtles are too violent and want to dumb it down for the children... who are very sick of that! Hell, i was one of them!!!😂

    Kid Danger: *wearing his big trucker pup* holy luna! 40 years! Holy luna! I was a baby colt in the 90's. I think i saw the turtles when I was a colt but I was watching tv in a family member's home. But, BUT, when Nickelodeon got the rights to the tmnt 2012, i was HOOKED on the ninja turtles! *has hearts in his eyes* oh my luna! Donnie's voice and gap tooth! My luna, too cute! *falls on the ground hard on his face and quickly gets up and wipes himself off with his hoof* my luna! I love the ninja turtles!

    Fun fact: One of my favorite video games, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (2013), has a turtle character named Bentley who is the sole star of a hacking minigame called "Alter Ego", and his avatar resembles Raphael. If you have two controllers, there will be a second avatar in the minigame that resembles Leonardo. Unfortunately, game designer Mat Kraemer has confirmed that the minigame avatar is actually based on John Rambo, which disappoints me, but it's still interesting to note because Bentley's avatar looks a lot like the TMNT. The game also has other TMNT references in it, namely Bentley saying, "The last time I was in these sewers, I was just a teenager" and a mission called "Shell Shocked Heart", which I think could be a reference to the Turtles arcade games.

    Been a huge turtles fan since day 1 when the comic was release back when I was born and ever since then Ive been loving each different iterations of each of the turtles since then. Also you didn't bring up all the TMNT shorts around the time the 2012 TMNT series was still showing around that time which was uploaded on YT as well at the video games much such as the new latest TMNT Shredder's revenge game and just recently after EVO they would appear in another crossover fighting game which is Street Fighter 6 as costumes in the Battle Hub.
    Still no matter the continuity TMNT would continued on for later generations and with more to show in comic,movies,video games or whatever media it grows as time goes on. 🍕COWABUNGA🍕💙🐢🧡🐢💜🐢❤🐢

    I never knew what the turtles were when i was little, but when discovered a tape i got to watch it, didn't know what the episode was about but one of the scenes involved giving pizza to master shredder pizza with marshmallows and fudge, he kinda refused in mild disgust and anther scene that involved that april got bald and had to wear a mask or wig. (Didn't know which one, i was little back then) and that's how i got to know them. Loved them eversince.
    By the way, it was the 1980s cartoon that made me fall in love with the franchise.
    Thanks for covering this DVDU!

    Thanks for another great video, Dave. I enjoyed watching it with my pizza. The original 1980s/1990s animated series is the only version of this franchise I'm familiar with (and because I'm from the UK, I knew it as "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles"). Still, I'm happy to see that these characters form my teenage years are on their way to becoming pop culture perennials.

    This was very interesting, educational, and entertaining for me. Excellent! I've been a TMNT fan my whole life. My favorite TMNT series is the '87 series with the 2012 series a close second. I'm only just now watching the 2003 series and am enjoying it so far. My favorite TMNT movie is Secret Of The Ooze with Out Of The Shadows a close second. I enjoy all of the movies, though. I haven't seen any of Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series after episode 1 nor its Netflix movie. I plan to see Mutant Mayhem soon.

    I like super heroes from DC and Marvel and all, but Indie Boys TMNT and The Tick (especially since both spawned from my state) have been my favorite comic book heroes. Though both I discovered through the cartoons first. As for the TMNT, it's easier for me to say that Next Mutation and the music videos are the absolute nadir of TMNT and Secret of the Ooze is my least favorite of the movies for the reasons given here. I'm thoroughly enjoyed all four cartoon series to date, and if I had to at gunpoint pick a favorite of the bunch, I'd go with the 2012 series. There really isn't much to say that hasn't been said before. I'm on pins and needles for the upcoming cartoon series following the movie, and I'm most interested in how the other mutants will fare in the series.

I can only fit in so much information in one video. This video contains every major movie and TV production while also touching on the major comic publications.

    I grew up watching the 87' Turtles show and LOVED IT! I had the toys, clothes and other stuff that came out during that Turtle Maina of the 90's. The live action 90's movies brought them to the next level of the characters too. I can't remember if I saw the original in theaters but I might have. I really can't remember. I know I saw the 2nd one in theaters. That one I really enjoyed but same as the 1st one too. I watched them EVERY Saturday Morning just to see what they were going to get into that episode. I never did have a crush on April (like a bunch of guys or woman) but she was what I thought a really cool woman character. I saw her almost as a sister to the guys even though they were younger then she is. The 2003 show I didn't watch. I remember seeing it and thinking oh hey look a new show but I was more like nah it's not my turtles. Now later on I got into watching them more. Especially after getting into the 2012 series on Nick. That's as far as I got with the show. Didn't watch Rise just cause I didn't care for how they swapped certain characters traits. But I'm ready to go see the new animated movie. I can't wait!!! Thanks for making this video Dave. You always out do yourself. Love it!

    Legacy franchises are an interesting one to tackle. Especially those that reinvent themselves with each new series and have done so with a regular frequency in multiple media. Makes it hard to fail after so long as people can say if they don't like one they can check out the other adaptations. Kind of makes me wander what would have happened if Masters of the Universe and She-Ra had kept up the same frequency in multiple media. Although they look to be returning in more recent years with a well liked by most Netflix She-Ra not long ago and two MOTU series at the same time as each other with one aimed at adults and another kids. Something they may have taken from TMNT playbook with having the kid shows and comics at the same time as more wide audience movies and comics

    TMNT has been one of those franchises that stays popular no matter how they change it.
    other things like Little Mermaid, Velma, Ghostbusters 2016, Star Trek Discovery, Spiderman and Batman anger fans with a bad reboot but TMNT has always found fans regardless of changes.

      No, it’s the same as any other big franchise. The bay produced movies are hated much like the TASM films, the Snyder verse, and the Star Wars Prequels, yet all of these have fans. Even more so in the modern day, presumably because the kids who saw them have now grown up and have a more vocal opinion. Or in the Snyder verse’s case, because of edge lords
