I actually hope this turns out to be a good fun movie. But it's going to take some time to get used to the humanized faces of the turtles. But hey, at least they actually look like mutants, now.

Am I the only one who notices that in every group scene, there is only one person of colour? And he or she is usually kind of pushed to the front. But then every other person is white. Like, we only need one, right?

Why thank you. :)

This show still holds up, in my opinion. Even the Gen Z kids I tutor watch it religiously. It had a way of balancing its snark with a lot of genuine heart. It never ventured into the zone of blatant mean-spiritedness, which is amazing considering the fact that the actresses didn't like each other.

I didn't know that there was an award named after Webbigail Vanderquack.

I suppose Marky Mark's never heard of a little franchise called "Star Wars".

"This Island" is so great.

Can someone get to work on a Ms. Marvel pilot, now?

Morphs were "acquired" when the kid touched the animal and absorbed its DNA or something. The kids weren't just given the ability to turn into one animal. They needed to make physical contact with the animal. Then they sort of banked these morphs away, and could choose one to use depending on the situation. You'd be

But SHOULDN'T the books be written kind of badly? They're being told diary-style from the angsty, kind of dumb, young adolescent point of view of the characters, after all.

I think it'd be super cool if these books were rebooted and updated as a series of comics or graphic novels.

The book covers had the animals' faces cut out. When you opened the book, the inside cover then featured a scene from the book featuring the character in their morphed form. That's why the bear's head looks a little weird. It took a great deal of care not to tear the edges of those cut out holes!

In retrospect, I've realized that the arc with the "new Animorph" (David, I think?) was really dark and pretty mature for a book series aimed at kids.

There was also a lot of interspecies romance going on in these books. The alien who gives the kids the power to morph (Elfangor) was Tobias's father. Didn't the Andalite and Hork-Bajir protagonists in The Hork-Bajir Chronicles end up together, as well?

Pff, that's Cassie, a GIRL, and she's morphing into a Hork-Bajir.

If that means he gets to star in a film he spends much of in a skintight outfit, I'm down.

I hope this doesn't suck. We need a wider variety of black leading men (and women, and all people of colour, really) in Hollywood. I thought that 42 was a decent film, and I want to see more from Boseman.

Is True American an actual thing, or is it still fictional?

Oh wait, does the land of Sugar Rush from "Wreck-It Ralph" count as a country? It does have a monarch, after all. Because then there for sure.

Avalon as depicted in Disney's "Gargoyles" seemed like a pretty sweet place to live. Or New Olympus, provided you're not a human.
