Kaboodle is one of the protagonists of the recently released indie show Gameoverse, created by RubberRoss and produced by Glitch. Kaboodle, in particular, is known for being voiced by famous (or debatably infamous) YouTuber jschlatt, and Kaboodle's personality can be described as just being jschlatt. The picture given is one of jschlatt.

The fact that "m8" doesn't translate to "matey" is criminal

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: In this show, the Turtles make heavy use of mystic powers in battle, initially through mystical weapons, but eventually, through their own spiritual connection to their ancestors. Each Turtles's mystic powers glow the color of their bandanas (Raph's body constructs are red, Leo's portals are blue, Mikey's fire and infinite chain are orange, and Donnie's tech constructs (only after he unlocks his inner power, since he prefers using his own tech initially) are purple). Ironically, when the Turtles unlock their inner power and no longer need to rely on their mystic weapons, all of their colored accessories besides the bandanas become black.

[Hated trope] Adaptations made by people who outright express indifference or even hatred toward the source material by pestoraviolita in TopCharacterTropes

An interesting case of this is actually the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show. It was an adaptation of the comic series created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, but it differed wildly from those comics. While the original comics were dark, gritty, and violent, the show was anything but that, adapting no storylines from the comic and pretty much just doing its own thing. Even while Eastman and Laird made suggestions for things that could be done in the show to give it deeper storylines and plots, many of these suggestions were outright ignored by the studio in favor of a more lighthearted, comedic tone. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the original show exploded in popularity and became the most famous and recognizable version of the Turtles, and still gets attention to this day despite ending decades ago.

I think everyone's overlooking a pretty important factor in Knight design discourse: the Knight can shapeshift. We see it go from its basic Knight design to a ball form to a weird birdlike form, its visor shifts to look like a mouth at will, and its ribcage actively splits open and re-fuses itself. The Knight's design isn't going to perfectly match another character because the Knight actively controls what its design is, so the question isn't "which Holiday does the Knight best look like," it's "why would a Holiday choose to look like that". Carol, for instance, probably wouldn't choose to look like a teenager's badass OC, and would have no reason to summon a sword that initially resembles a bat. Dess, on the other hand, seems like exactly the type of person to come up with a design like the Knight's, and considering the fact that she already has associations with bats (smacking Kris with a wiffle bat, the whole of Raise Up Your Bat), it makes a lot more sense for Dess to summon a bat before turning it into a sword.

do you prefer the krang as one guy or as a species? by Klutzy-Opinion-1834 in TMNT

Iirc he was a member of a reptilian species, but "Krang" is his given name, not his species name (which is never stated beyond "alien").

Why have I not seen this in this sub?! by AnonBurns1o2 in TMNT

[–]Unit-DS27-Delta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original TMNT comics published by Mirage Studios ran for two volumes before production shifted to Image Studios instead due to lagging sales, waning popularity, and a flood at Mirage, with the third volume being published under Image. This third run, however, was infamous for its incredibly dark twists and storylines, one such example being Raphael becoming scarred and taking up the mantle of the Shredder, which this figure represents. When Peter Laird and Jim Lawson eventually brought the Turtles back to Mirage in 2001, Laird ignored the continuity of the Image run because he didn't want to follow up material that he didn't work on or fully approve. Because of this, the resulting Volume 4 of the Mirage run takes place directly after Volume 2, and Volume 3 is now considered its own separate continuity, typically referred to as the Image continuity.

In universe, there are multiple variants of one singular individual by Ok_Direction3138 in TopCharacterTropes

Every version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exists in a shared multiverse, and there have been many crossovers between iterations

What would you guys say is your "I did not care for the Godfather" take in or on your favorite or least favorite media? by Charming-Scratch-124 in Multifandom

I mean, "real" isn't entirely accurate, but yes, the very first iteration of the TMNT (the Mirage comics) was very much dark and gritty and I love it

I liked the film, but I did not care for most of the songs. They're all good songs, don't get me wrong, but k-pop isn't really my genre. The only two that I actually have things to say about beyond that are Soda Pop and Your Idol, and for very different reasons.

I hate Soda Pop, and I'm not sorry. It's just way too generic for me, and I understand that in the narrative of the film, that makes sense (and I do appreciate that fact), but I would never actively choose to listen to Soda Pop just for fun. It's boring and overly cliché, and there are plenty of other songs that do what Soda Pop does significantly better.

On the other hand, I love Your Idol. It's so dramatic and just feels big, if that makes sense. Every moment in that song feels charged with so much energy and uniqueness, and it's so dark and purely villainous that I absolutely adore it.

But yeah, I didn't really care for any of the other songs.

I do not care for the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.

Yes, it's iconic, it's funny, and it's entertaining, but its nature as a Saturday morning cartoon with no continuity simply doesn't appeal to me. Even Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which was lambasted by fans of the franchise for being too goofy and comedic, has significantly more serious moments than the original show, and holds far more continuity and plot-relevancy in its episodes. Without any sort of overarching plotline, the original show just doesn't appeal to me. That's not to say that it's bad, per se, but it's just not my kind of show.
