Heroes In A Half Shell
If there was one franchise that ate parent's money and made children scream with excitement, it wad Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This was originally a serious comic book that parodied most other comics. It was one of the most idiotic things ever made, but everyone loved it. Kids rooted for Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. They wanted to buy anything that even mentioned their Number 1 heroes. Most kids were introduced to the Turtles by the 1980 cartoon show. That show blew the minds of every little, and old, child that watched it. The action, the corny jokes, the character, the campy plot, everything was great! So, let me stop my ranting and tell you the plot. The plot revolves around four teenage turtles that fight the evil Shredder and his Foot Clan. The turtles were created by toxic waste exposed to them. It also turned a man, Hamato Yoshi, into their rat sensei, Splinter. Together the turtles fought to stop Shredder from destroying NYC with his mutants, Bebop and Rocksteady, and alien partner, Krang. Yeah it was weird, but we loved it. It had an action packed theme song, and interesting story. The mutant turtles fought robots, cross dimensional beasts, mutant animals, and other cool baddies. The show was so popular it spawned three movies, video games, toy lines, and even a rock concert! I loved this show then, and I love it now. I'm giving it 5 out of 5, for brilliance in story telling and perfect attitude. P.S- There really was a concert for the turtles!
