Simply fucking wonderful. The perfect capper to two and a half decades' Turtles -- and, indeed, to the end of Laird's custodianship of his creations.
You guys know I love me some metafiction, and this had elements of some of my favorites -- All-Star Superman and Legends of the Dark Knight (from TAS) come to mind.
I particularly liked the fading-away visuals, especially the tones-to-inks-to-pencils.
Any word on if any of the old voice cast returned? Because if they aren't, those are some good soundalikes. Well, except Cam Clarke.
Leo was way off, yeah. Don was ballpark, Shredder and Bebop seemed the closest to their originals. I'd like to see the credits, yeah. Also curious who voiced [spoiler]the Primes[/spoiler].
EDIT: Also, when Utrom Shredder had them captured and was Bond Villain-ing it up, how many alternate realities could you pick out?
I saw the old movies Turtles, the new movie Turtles, that weird sentai one from Japan. Since I haven't really paid attention to the comics, I couldn't identify anything else really.
I'll take it from here!
Michael Zulli's Turtles, from feudal Japan
Mark Martin's Turtles, who get blown up and then have their brains temporarily implanted in household appliances
LeSean Thomas's Turtles from the short-lived Dreamwave adaptation of the '03 toon
The Future Turtles from the Archie series (and I THINK I may have seen them in their
wrestling costumes, too)
Notably absent:
the Image Turtles.
Gotta say the high point for me was watching them visit the 80's universe. So good.
I like how they immediately make a crack about April wearing a yellow jumpsuit and then THEIR April shows up wearing...
All in all, pretty fucking great. If you like the Turtles -- any version -- you'll walk away from this with a huge grin. I will buy it when it comes out on DVD.
