Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles supporting characters

message: I remember a blue Stone Warrior called Granitor from the arcade game, and the 1987 series, if I recall correctly. He had a bird-like face and stood taller than Traag... Why isn't this character mentionned anywhere?

thread_title: Granitor?

message: Why is this character included in the list? She doesn't appear in any of the 7 major TMNT incarnations.  In fact, she's only in a single videogame.  The article states that only appearances count, not brief mentionings or references.  From browsing the list, all characters listed have had some significant contribution to one or more of the 7 TMNT worlds.  I really don't think Aska deserves to be on this list.  If the videogames were counted as the 8th incarnation, then I can understand her inclusion.  Otherwise, she seems very out of place. Ninja kid21 22:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, according to what's written, she's apparently got some kind of fan following, so 'that's' probably cause for significance. And technically, doesn't a video game appearance count as an appearance? 72.72.200.21 23:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ya, I've noticed that she's got a cult following, and I can understand why when you see her in action.  =)  I do count being in a videogame as an appearance, but I'm only questioning her inclusion on the list because the article refers to the cartoons, comics, movies, and the Next Mutation.  There's no mention of the videogames on that list, so Aska looks out of place.  If you check the table, she's got red no's accross the board, which makes her seem like she's played no role in the TMNT world.  I think the character list would be more organized if the videogames were included, or if Aska were dropped.  However, I'd like to know how others feel about this, or if there are any other suggestions. Ninja kid21 23:47, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Her having a cult following doesn't justify her being in the list. The real question is whether characters who only appear in videogames should be included. I think they should. After all, the videogames are part of the TMNT franchise, even if they are not part of the canon universe. The Image comics and Next Mutation are also not part of the canon, and they are included. Plus, most of the more detailed character pages include a description of that character's appearance in videogames. So I say we should add a "videogame" column to the table.By the way, Aska is not the only videogame-only character in the list. Slashuur also only appeared in videogames. I see that in the table he is incorrectly listed as having appeared in one of the series. I'll correct that, and add the new column when I have time. -- Ritchy 01:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I added the videogame column. There are a lot of unknowns, as I've never played the games based on the new series. I hope someone who's more familiar with them can fill in the missing information. -- Ritchy 03:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Great work! The list looks much more comprehensive.  Off the top of my head, I know for sure that Hun was in the newest videogames.  I'm not so sure about the other characters, since I haven't been able to play through all of the games.  I'll edit the table to add Hun's videogame appearance.

text:  I just realized that Professor Honeycutt (AKA Fugitoid) was also in the videogames.  Fixed that as well.  Ninja kid21 15:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aska? 

message: It now appears that TMNT (2007 film) will follow the continuity of the other movies (or at least the 1st and 2nd), and will not be the start of a new TMNT continuity. Therefore, I will merge its column with the movie column. -- Ritchy 19:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movies 

message: I've noticed that there seems to be more emphasis on the animated counterparts of such characters as General Blanque and Lord Simultaneous instead of they're original comic counterparts, the same can be said for the organisations article, more specificaly the Triceraton section. I've considered adding information, but to do this I would need to overhaul the sections somewhat. -- Lord Crayak
:Well the cartoon series is currently ongoing, and better known than the comics. It's only natural that people would have more information to add about the cartoon version of the characters. But by all means, add information about the comics, and overhaul sections when necessary. Also, if some character descriptions grow very long, feel free to move them to independant pages. -- Ritchy 15:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Just to Point Out... 

message: Right now, we have this page for TMNT characters, and that one for TMNT robots. However, I see a growing number of robots being included in this page, in large part thanks to the Fast Forward season of the current show, which introduced a number of robot characters (Serling and Constable Biggles are good examples). The recent addition of MetalHead to this page, even though it already is in the robot page, got me wondering: should we merge both pages?
The way I see it, several of the robots from the TMNT robot page could be included here (Chrome Dome, Metalhead, Turtlebot and Turtle Terminator). The robot teams (Domemoids, Mouser and Roadkill Rodney) could be included either in the TMNT organisation pages or in this one. The Footmech could go in the Foot Clan page, and the Turtle X would go in Cody Jones' page. Does that sound like a good idea to everyone? The alternative would be to take all the robot characters from this page and move them to the TMNT robot page, which I'm starting to feel would introduce an unnecessary distinction. -- Ritchy 16:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Robots 

message: This page is looking a bit untidy to me at the moment, so I was thinking; we could add sub-categories such as, humans, mutants, robots and aliens. This would give more structure to the page and elevate such controversy as we have recently had with the Robots page. In addition to this we could where applicable use a character data template to give additional information such as a character’s publication history aliases and group affiliations if any.--Teletran (talk) 11:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categorisation of characters 

message: I noticed that my Spoiler Tags regarding info on TMNT 2003's Lost Season have been eliminated.  Given its unaired-in-America status and the fact that most people haven't seen these episodes, I fail to see how labelling information regarding it as Spoilers is "unnecessary", at least during the first month or so (most of the Season only became available this week). I certainly know I'd be pissed to inadvertenly find out the fate of a character just because I chose to wait to see the episodes.

replies: text: I am the one who removed the spoiler tags. My main issue was maintaining uniformity in the page. None of the other characters have spoiler tags, not even those who appear in the on-going Fast Forward season of the show. I simply didn't think it was necessary to put spoiler tags at all. Though I'm starting to fell it's not that good a reason, especially given the quantity of editing we'd need to do before all the character entries are standard and uniform. You can put them back in if you feel they are necessary. -- Ritchy 22:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Carter's transformation 

message: Since we've apparently begun adding members of the Ninja Tribunal to the list (with Juto), I have to ask: has any standard spelling for their names been determined.  Is "Shisho" a last name (as is the entry), or an honorific, like "San" or "Sensei", as seems to be implied during the season?  How is the word supposed to be spelled?  The person who added Juto spelled it as "Shishou", which...doesn't seem right. Likewise, I've also seen Chikara refered to as "Chikara'Shisho".  Is there someone fluent in Japanese who could help here?  
Likewise, with the Acolytes, I think it'd be good to make sure we have the correct names before we begin adding them.  While it's easy with characters like Tora Yoshida and Adam (who sadly, I don't recall getting a last name), it becomes a bit harder with Faragi and Joy, whose names seem to be pronounced different with each character that says it--is it Renard, or Reneau? Faragi or Farachi?

replies: text: Well I haven't seen the episodes, but it's my understanding that they are only available on DVD. So whoever has added the info can easily turn on the subtitles on the episodes and see the correct spelling of the names when the characters are introduced. That would at least settle that issue. -- Ritchy 03:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Ok, "Nightmares Recycled" wasn't made because it was decided the subject matter wasn't suitable for children.
Let's see: In this show, Shredder gets decapitated (even though it isn't his real head), Baxter Stockman gets an eye put out, an arm chopped off, and his back broken, a Purple Dragon member is killed by Shredder, I could go on and on... 
and this episode wasn't made because it would have had subject matter not suitable for children.
...Ok...

thread_title: Nightmares Recycled- Say what?

message: I just removed the Turtle Team, April, Casey, etc from this list, as they have their own articles that can be found just by clicking in the 'related' list.
:While I understand what you're trying to do, some of the characters (Baxter Stockman, Karai, The Rat King, Bebop and Rocksteady, Lord Dregg, etc.) left behind in the current simply do not qualify as "less important"--heck, an argument can be made for Karai being more important than the Shredder himself.   As it is now, the list merely looks wishy-washy and inconsistent.  Ideas?

message: These article is entirely too long. There needs to be major characters only. I request that editors who are familiar with the subject matter remove entries whose subjects are not as important. I have no knowledge of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so I don't know. If someone who kows doesn't remove them, I will eventually do it myself, and may not remove according to importance within the series. seresin (talk) 23:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I respectfully disagree. I think the article should simply be split alphabetically into smaller lists (like A-E, F-J, etc.) as minor characters sometimes grow into larger characters and sometimes have more interest and material than major ones. Benjiboi 21:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Unless there is someone who is pretty knowledgeable about the series, I don't think you should mess with it.  However, it would be a good idea to split the lists into List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles antagonists and List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles protagonists.  However, since there is already Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters, this list can be shortened by just redirecting all of the characters with pages to those pages and only keeping the entries for article-less characters.

thread_title:  No more 

message: I just thought I'd mention that the statement that "Silver is the last Yeti" within the continuity of "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" show is now questionable if you take into account the Power Rangers universe as being part of that continuity (due to the "Power Rangers: In Space" cross-over episode). This is because in "Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive" a supporting character named Norg (who is also a Yeti) was introduced. This might not seem like a big deal as they are two completely different seasons/teams of Rangers which seems like they could be easily ruled out as a seperate continuity (like the multiple TMNT shows for example), except that all "Power Ranger" seasons have on multiple occassions been said/proven to take place within the same universe/continuity. In fact, "Power Rangers: In Space" and "Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive" can be directly connected by two characters that have briefly appeared in both seasons, Alpha 6 and Adam Park (who was the second Mighty Morphin Black Ranger, the Zeo Green Ranger, and first Turbo Green Ranger). 172.190.37.160 (talk) 10:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

She dresses unusually compared to the other characters in the series, and wearing clothing in the style of  Nekeeta from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go. She wears her white dress in the style of Ella from Happily N'Ever After."
Aside from the exceedingly dubious description, this smacks of someone inserting their own fan character into the article, especially since several Google searches turned up absolutely zero relevant links. I've removed the section entirely, since there seems to be no evidence the character exists outside of this page.  so sayeth Lucky Number 49  Yell at me! 14:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
