i remembered wondering why the hell they were fighting with pizzas. if they loved it so much, why would they waste so much of it and not fight with their weapons instead? as for baxter, why didn't they just cut his wings off?

In the original Eastman & Laird B&W TMNT comics, they used their weapons constantly... and people & turtles were bloody after the fights.

Its when they kid-ized the comic into a cartoon that everything became blunt instruments.

yeah, I was in high school when the original TMNT came out. They had a lot of animal action comics then, mostly violent.

The original turtles kicked fucking ass.

Then "dad" wanted to share with his fucktards and "mom" threatened to sue.

How badass would a Batman Begins / Dark Knight-eque reboot for TMNT be? :D

It would be hard to do and keep from feeling campy. It's fairly easy to suspend ones disbelief when watching batman or even superman because... well they are still people, or at least look like people. Not so much with 6 foot tall walking turtles and a rat sensei. Not saying I wouldn't like to see someone try though.

GI Joe was even worse. Do you have any idea how much cool shit they had? And did they ever fucking kill anyone? NO! Not one fucking dude ever got killed despite the fact they blasted huge lasers and shit all over the god damn place.

It always bothered me that they must have spent so much money on equipment yet not a single dime on target practice. If anything they had tryouts where they gave everyone missiles, rockets and bullets and took the person who didn't hit the barn

No, G.I Joe training camp was just like little league is today.

Everyone shows up, everyone gets a trophy and moves on (in G.I. Joe's story though they moved on to actual combat, very dangerous.)
