A Little Back-Ground Information:
It has come to my attention that some of my readers are of the newer generation, and have never had the privilege of watching the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And so I thought I might give a little information to you, just so that you know who and what I'm talking about.
#1: April and Casey do not have a 'thing'. No thing. Never. Erma might have, another character you've never met, but then she was always going for Norman. …Poor screen-stealing asshole. Nothing to do with the story, I know, I just had to comment.
#2: Shredder is not a robot. Do you have any idea how moronic the very idea is? Seriously. His real name is Oroku Saki (name is probably spelled wrong however). He works with Krang, the only and original brain walking around in the stomach of a fake body. They work in the technodrome, hundreds of miles under the ground with the magma and everything, trying to take over the world. How to explain Krang? He's one of the most sarcastic and hilarious bad-guys I've ever seen.
#3: Bebop and Rocksteady are the two teenage punks who were used for test subjects when Shredder was trying to create mutants to battle the turtles. It didn't work out right, because frankly, they were more idiotic then even Shredder realized. They're petty thieves, they even stole a kids tricycle in one episode. Bebop is a human warthog hybrid, and Rocksteady is a Rhino human hybrid. They both have Brooklyn accents, and way too many piercing. Especially for the 80's. (I have a personal view that they're gay and having a relationship, but obviously they never said anything like that on t.v.)
#4: The only aliens that the turtles have ever come across are these tiny little people who look a lot like humans, but drive around in a floating pink car and have very odd hair. Again, nothing to do with the story, I just hate how sci-fi the new version has gotten.
#5: Professor Stockman. What to say? My god, what a loser. Firstly, he was never black. Secondly, he's never lost any body parts. Thirdly, he's not a complete loser. He did manage to capture Donny once, though it was with one of Donny's own inventions. Did anybody else see the time freezing episode, where they pause Donny in mid kick while floating in the air? I love it… loser, I know, but it was cool. On a side note, he was also a pale guy with a retreating blond hair line. …And got turned into a giant fly. ß this actually has important later on. Not the fly part, but I am using the original Doctor Stockman in this story.
One last thing… does anybody remember that cute energy saving commercial they would play after the episodes, where Mikey accidentally leaves the fridge open? For some reason, I always loved that…
