I was thinking the action figures above looked more like the original cartoons than the current TMNT movies.

No...NO...Bad. Do not fall for their tricks.

I thought the trailer for the new movie actually looked kinda fun. Almost like they brought the old cartoon to life!

Because they no there’s no way in hell your getting more than 4 people to play Monopoly anymore.

‘cause it’s not “real Monopoly”, but some horrible changed version?

Well, and from another perspective, all of these television shows are making starts of these actors and characters in their own right. How much of a let down would it be to be all like ‘Jessica Jones is in the new Avengers', only to have her make a walk on cameo and that’s basically it. Plus you have to reconcile that…

I agree. I like the big things the movies bring and the small stuff the TV brings without them interacting.

i wouldn’t mind seeing a small cameo of sorts in Infinity War. If there’s gonna be a big epic battle in New York, or across many locations on earth, and they’re doing kind of a montage of the fighting cutting to the Hell’s Kitchen area with the Defenders going at it would be a nice little nugget.

So far it has worked just fine. Where it won’t work as well is with Sokovia Accords from Civil War and the Global effect that Infinity War will have. Those types of things are too big to ignore on the small screen, especially with Infinity War. I can see SHIELD or the Defenders sitting around on their asses or doing…

I agree. One of the things that makes the tv series good is that they tend to be more . . . intimate ? Smaller, more human in scale.

I really like both Agent Coulson and Clark Gregg - his character arc during the most recent season of SHIELD was excellent, and... okay, well, Gregg is always good, so there’s that. But Coulson’s death in Avengers was so central to the plot, and (IMO) so key to the development of Tony Stark in particular, that…

I would add that when they have tried to be connected, it’s largely worked *against* Agents of SHIELD.

That was creepy, but casually manipulating someone’s reality with the touch of a button? That’s even more fucked up.

It wasn’t a dating agency though. It was a group of guys who used datamining to manipulate their way into getting women to shag them.

I mean it made it thousands of years... kind of high standards.

Its ninja abilities are diluted by also being a shark and a Black Lantern.

They would never have seen it in the first place, if it was a real ninja shark.

There’s a great story sitting here. I love it.

As much as hate invoking the prequels, you could argue that the overall arc of the first 6 movies is Anakin’s fall and redepmtion, with the arc of the OT being Luke following in his father’s footsteps and ending with him being able to avoid his father’s fate AND save his father in ROTJ, which is not diminished in any…
