@@TheTurtleNexus when did she say that though? Give me the link where she states that her and Saki use to date. I literally just watched the original video and not one time did she or Splitter mention anything about Saki (Shredder) and Tang Shen ever dating
I hated these two. They could have been the best characters in the entire franchise and I still would have hated them. It was so glaringly obvious that they were supposed to be Bebop and Rocksteady, and they weren't, and it was an unforgivable betrayal to legions of young fans.
@@TheTurtleNexus if the four horseman were to be in one of the adaptations, which one do you think would have fit for them? Not sure about the 80’s incarnation, maybe the 2012 incarnation with the tales episodes.
the will to see ones gut instinct as a inter-dimensional being... bent on showing the true treasure of the travesty we find our "self" in-twined within... is very refreshing... <3
The specifics of their personalities doesn't keep them from being rip-offs. They were created to serve the same narrative function in a movie without actually being those two characters. That does in fact, logically make them replacements.
I remember watching this on TV when it first aired. It was some hour long special or something, right? I think I just turned 6 so the memories are foggy. I do remember it though
I’ve always liked them both ever since I got their toys when they came out.(got the Neca toon versions too) I remember loving that prime time special because I was so excited to see them! Wish they had more toon appearances. And sucked they were never in the Archie comics. Loved seeing them in the games when I’d play them. They definitely don’t get enough love. My 2nd favorite duo after Bebop & Rocksteady.(Tokka & Rahzar 3rd) Can you imagine if we had Sgt.Bananas & King Lion Heart to back up the tmnt in this ep too?!
Tattoo broke the mutagen plot logic... up until this episode, humans or animals could mutate into anthropomorphic animals, but never had an animal turned into a normal person with all human traits.
That whole thing really annoyed me when I saw this episode as a kid for the first time. Not only how nonsensical it was to have a hamster mutate into a sumo wrestler, but that they essentially "wasted" one of the characters in such a stupid way.
if I recall correctly, in the italian dub the mole (Dirtbag) is actually "Bang Bang" ...not sure why in Italy they picked this name, probably because he's a miner 😂
Well I don’t why Grundchuck has to wear that metal piece on the right of his head as he looks like Taurus Balboa from Darkwing Duck and speaking of you know about Alex Winter aka Megavolt. I find them very boring because I would have like to the lion and gorilla getting mutated what’s next a tiger and Jackal, a Penguin and a Walrus or a toad and a Sabretooth (Deadpool and Wolverine if you didn’t get that reference) Speaking of the IDW I guess you can do Armaggon and what about Dogpound and Fishface in 2012 series?
For some reason, I never made the connection between Groundchuck and Taurus Bulba; more accurately his F.O.W.L.-enhanced form that returned in the revival comic. I of course knew the Megavolt connection since that was one of the few Red Sky episodes that aired in my area.
Yup!! It only aired once in my area, in prime time. Once I found the aneurysm encodes, they had split it up into two episodes. It's been said that it aired in repats on Saturday mornings, but I know that's not true; at least in North America. I didn't see the full-length version until the DVD set came out. Part 2 isn't missing too much; some filler dialogue from Shredder and another of Herman's sabotaged weapons; plus the scene where the Turtles find the sleeping Herman in his lair leads to a rushed commercial break.
@DeletableMan: The year before "Planet of the Turlteliods aired (1990), CBS also aired the TMNT fourth season episode" The Big Cufflink Caper" in Primetime. Really enjoyed watching both of these episodes, and Planet of The Turtleliods quickly became a favorite episode of mine thanks to reruns and my eventual purchase of the fifth season on DVD. Despite never purchasing either Groundchuck or Dirtbag's action figures as a child, I am sure that I would have enjoyed playing with them. Especially since unlike many of the other characters whom only got one appearance because their action figure was in stores, these guys appeared twice in the cartoon and made several appearances in the video games. Really hope that they do show up eventually in the Saturday Morning Adventures comic books, since many other forgotten characters from the classic cartoon have returned in its pages.
Awesome video and I like both Groundchuck and Dirtbag I think they’re pretty interesting characters and I never had the original toys but I do have the NECA figures and maybe we’ll get ones from Super 7 in the future and too bad we didn’t see them in any other TMNT animated series but the comic book version I haven’t seen yet but I’ll look forward to seeing that in a future video.
Absolutely the most wasted/forgettable mutant duo ever! Suffice it to say that they were so irrelevant that they didn't even appear in the 2012 series! PS: where do the scenes where "coincidence" is shouted come from?
The "coincidence" running gag comes from "Arrested Development." Groundchuck didn't appear in the 2012 series, but he did some sort of cameo in the comic based on the show.
i think groundchuck is meant to be a nod to wild west c.o.w.boys of moo mesa since the creator of wild west c.o.w.boys of moo mesa wokes on ninja turtles
Of all the stockmen in TV shows and comics, this one is by far the unluckiest fellow as he lost his mother, turned into a slave for the cruelest villain, torn piece by piece until all that's left is his brain, managed to escape to work for a special agent in return he can clone his own body only to turn into a complete failure and go back to being a brain in a jar it went on for many years into the future so as all as I'm concerned Baxter stockman 2003 is by far the saddest character in the history of sympathetic villains
It's been rumored that Saban intentionally sabotaged this show in order to avoid another Live Action Turtles Show from competing with Power Rangers once they lost the TMNT rights.
The Bay films of TMNT was a mixed bag, but the one thing I feel like they got right was Bebep and Rocksteady. Their bromance was great. You could really feel like they were each other's boy through anything, even being turned into mutant critters. This part of the films really worked for me. (The elevator scene was probably best moment of the first film.)
