OH MY GOD IV"E BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS

(I did not know there is a "New Holiday", Transgender Day of Visibility, Sorry...)

These are the vibes the first meeting with Big Mama gave off lmao

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO (a quick reminder also)

"choppy" animation in any TMNT show isn't new, though. pretty sure every version went through this, especially the first few episodes :]

A underrated moral panic is the UK government's deep and enduring hatred of ninjitsu. From the days of video nastys banning nunchucks and shuriken from the media but not touching depictions of any type of weapon people actually have or use to Keir Starmer promising to ban ninja swords to solve knife crime, famously committed primarily with replica Japanese swords, forever. There are still presumably people with ASBOs for pretending to be Naruto in 2004, when Tony Blair executed a raid on the servers hosting Real Ultimate Power and declared once and for all that Britain will not stand for dishonorable stealth combat no matter how many shadow warriors are sent by Brussels

I grew up with teenage mutant hero turtles on the TV because they didn't want to say the n word on television aimed at kids

Okay, never expected to see someone say "the n word" and mean ninja, but with Britain everything is possible

People are going "really" and. Yeah

Not only did they change the title for the UK, but it censored the American show too, bc they got tired of having to cut out scenes of Michelangelo using nunchucks & replaced them with a grappling hook in later seasons.

The fact that this cover censors nunchucks, and the word "ninja", but is perfectly fine with the kid's comics heroes using KNIVES AND SWORDS paints a interesting picture of the priorities here. There was, specifically, a widespread moral panic against nunchucks, which ran so deep they cut a scene from TMNT II where someone spun sausages in a way too akin to nunchucks. Love how that article can't even explain why they were obsessed with ninja weapons, since nobody actually knew how common they were at the time. They just leapt to banning this sick filth in the proud British tradition

It should be noted this isn't the permanent UK name, it was just the name in the 80s/90s. Mutant Mayhem came out over there are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not "Hero"

Fortnite Chapter 5 Data Miners have uncovered skins of Cell and Frieza from Dragon Ball and also an upcoming TMNT collab that has a REALLY good look for April!
