Oddly enough, I am not with her anymore (I doubt my wife would approve). I think she was almost as evil as Krang, but she didn't have mutants, monsters or ninjas working for her.

Just wow.<br /> <br /> If I had seen an article like this when I was five, I might have actually made myself a Krang. Now, I'm too busy with not having a social life to make time for it. In any case, the Turtles rocked. Wow.  Just wow.

We was comin' back from the island of Tinian t'Leyte, we'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the squares in the old calendars like the Battle o' Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, Reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol' fat PBY come down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. Three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the twenty-ninth, nineteen-forty five. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

All the big blockbuster have been based on comics or manga in one way or another, comics themselves are valued by their writers at least as much as the artist. If you compare the entertainment value of what cartoons have now to the average tv drama or ensemble comedy has. Toons and comics have been our cultural renaissance for the past 20 years! G.I. Joe, Transformers, (early) TMNT, Superman, Batman, right on up to our present incarnation of TMNT. All have wonderful characters, tight action, and a complete lack of the sarcastic irony that pollutes every other area of American culture. It's fun, it's simple, it's sincere. God bless the comic, the toon, and the pile of goddamn fun it'll always represent. And props to Matt for bringing all that excitement back.

This episode is easily one of my favorites. The new show is more my taste, being like the comic book, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for evil ol' Krang.
