Would you ever do the Casey Jones fan film on Superhero Rewind?

[Geekvolution]

@SickRickJoseph Actually plan on it as part of a special on fan films. I have seen it and I'd like to talk about it a little bit. That'll be some time down the road, but probably sometime this year.

@Geekvolution If you do plan on reviewing fan films will you be reviewing films from batinthesun productions?

[Geekvolution]

@mrdecepticonleader Yes, definitely.

[JaneishaBreeder]

which comic series do you think makes the greatest statement with their themes? x-men with acceptance of difference, spider-man with responsibility, hulk with self control?

[Geekvolution]

@JaneishaBreeder Good question-- we'll add that to the list!

Vanilla Ice is the right tone for ninja turtles

[OnlyTubenami]

I think the right tone would be what Bat-Man TAS did. Action packed, dark, dramatic, with witty dialogue for the occasional laugh. I also don't care for the tone of the older Ninja Turtles cartoon.

Do you like how '03 Shredder's an Utrom?

[SLPIFan]

I think the first film had a great tone in how it combined the original Mirage Comics and 80's Cartoon Series, but personally I think the 2003 series perfected it.

The 80's series was fun, and in a similar vein SECRET OF THE OOZE was as well (basically being a live-action version of that show) but Ninja Turtles does work best with (as you guys put it) some darkness and the ability to take itself seriously.

[mrdecepticonleader]

@Geekvolution Yes! I cant wait,your reviews are always really accurate and in-depth.

I think the 2003 cartoon was the best incarnation. Its kinda ironic that you liked the first 03 show because of the first ninja turtles movie. I liked the first ninja turtles movie because it was like 03 show.

I've heard the Utroms in the new upcoming series are going to be called The Krang -__-;

Suggestion: add annotations to the two or three Superhero Rewinds where you feel your scores were inaccurate.
