With Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle coming very soon. Perhaps it's time to refresh ourselves on the different iterations of the franchise, the characters and background. So we can better judge the movie and have clearer judgment of the upcoming movie. I'll be updating this thread on the different series of the franchise, starting with the original. 1. TMNT: The original 80s comic. In the early 80s, 2 buddy comic artists, Kelvin Eastman and Peter Laird, decided to doodle a parody of their favourite comic artist, Frank Miller (the author of 300) by mimicking his graphic novel "The Ronin". But instead of drawing ninjas, they drew the ninjas as "turtles" to contrast slow animals doing fast things as a joke. But after toying with the rough doodle, they had a great idea to expand it into a comic series, hence TMNT is born. During that time, it's difficult to get established companies like Marvel or DC to publish works of small time artists. So they took the own gamble and self-publish their own TMNT comic book with only $3000 funds. There were only 1000 copies of the 1st edition of TMNT and it's printed in Black and White in newspaper quality paper. But the copies where sold out within days. Word spread on the good artwork and unique story of TMNT and it shortly became the most popular indies comics during that time. That was TMNT's first breakthrough. ORIGINAL COMIC During the 80s, the American pop culture is heading towards the dark and gritty era due to the economic recession faced by many during those days, the comic industry was not spared from the trend. The story of the original TMNT based on the same formula and was targetted for teens and adult readers. In the comics, the turtle all wore red bandanas and were extremely brutal in their fighting styles. The violence level of the comic is pretty intense. Comic's origin: - Ninja master A, lover B and rival C - Ninja master A has a housepet rat who learn A's skilling by observing him training. - C try to rape B, A kill C. A and B run to New York (with rat) - C's brother, D vowed revenge - D trained hard and became Shredder - Shredder go to NY and kills A and B. Rat escape to sewers - Rat pick up 4 lost turtles in sewer - Rat and the turtle mutanted to humaniod by some chemical - turtles name rat "Splinter", splinter teach them A's skills Original Comic turtles all wear red and were all dark and violent. Leonardo: The cool, calm and collected. The one to lead. The most skilled (Katanas) Raphael: The hothead, violent and witty. The strongest and most street smart (Sai) Dontallo: The quiet one. The MR Fixit and maintenance guy. Computer whiz. (Bo) Michaelengalo: The playful and joker one. Youngest of the group. (Nuchuckus) Splinter: Master, old and wise. Shredder: A skillful and cunning ninja master who can take down the ninja turtles easily. April: A Computer programmer cum antique store owner. As you can see she is drawn with the 80s hair style trends. NEXT UP: 80s cartoon TMNT, the one most people knew.....

Please... you do not own the road.... if your driving is weak, the 1st lane doesn't deserve a driver like you. Speed limit is 90... what are you doing on the 1st lane at 70km/h on the 1st lane even in the rain???? You go even slower in the bends!!!!! When is raining in the bends... you can drop speed to 50km/h.... isn't it no difference from lane 2?? To Look good... let people admire your car or just so to be a kind soul to stop people from going faster than you? Like i said... if you are weak, move to the 2nd lane for beginner or weak drivers. We do not need your braking and your red tail lights to come on when you're in the 1st lane. If you say lane 2 and 3 is slow.... then I'll say to you... you are no better than lane 2 or 3. I have so much more to say.... maybe i'll save some for later....

Sorry Change o mind
