    TMNT ain't getting cancelled.

    It is doing really, really well for Nickelodeon. Both in ratings and in merchandise.

    It got renewed for a third season before the first season was over.

    Also random IM3 question:
    Was Killiam Extremis'd the entire movie? I ask because when he's with Pepper, he's showing off his brain and showed the black hole where they could alter the genetic code. Was his not altered at the time, or was he lying to Pepper?

    Finally, I just realized why the new TMNT makes me sad.

    When it comes out, the current TV show will probably get cancelled :(
    Probably was just an old scan and not a live feed like he said it was. I imagine part of the reason he looked better and didn't need a cane anymore is because of Extremis.
    Didn't he show off how his brain reacts to pain when she punched him?

    It's not a huge deal or anything, I'm just curious if I forgot that he went through the extremis procedure at some point in the movie and I had just forgotten about it.

    I'm terrified of it happening because they'll want to roll out a new series to coincide with the new movie.

    I know Nickelodeon is better at this than Disney and Cartoon Network, but I just don't want to see the new TMNT cancelled. It's one of the only cartoons I have left to fulfill my appetite.

    I think...
    The extra slot wasn't an explanation for how Extremis works but instead for how it could work. Extremis rewrites the code of the brain. Right now they were using it to effect how the parts of the brain related to healing worked and he was explaining that with the ability to rewrite the brain you could just add a part of the brain that does whatever you like.

    Nah it's probably just a plot hole. Scottsman's post makes the most sense. So either that portion was faked, or it's just a plot hole.

    Can I just say I really hope they never get too close to the comics? If I wanted to read the comics, I would, but when I watch the movies, I wanna watch the movies.

    Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
    get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
    have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."

    Nicolas Cage once spent $276,000 on a 67-million-year-old dinosaur skull.

    The National Treasure actor - who has been forced to put several of his properties on the market after failing to pay millions of dollars of tax - filed a lawsuit in October claiming Samuel Levin, his former manager led him "down a path of financial ruin".

    The 45-year-old American actor - whose films have grossed a collective $3.9 billion - owes $6 million in back taxes from 2007 and it is only now that his extravagant purchases have come to light.

    The most bizarre purchase was in 2007 when he outbid 'Titantic' actor Leonardo DiCaprio for a $276,000 skull claimed to be from a prehistoric beast.

    He also owns a jet, two yachts, three castles, two islands in the Bahamas and a number of mansions.

    His most expensive car - out of a fleet of 50 - was a $495,000 Lamborghini whose former owner was the Shah of Iran.

    Cage is a superhero fan - he had to sell his comic collection in 1997 for $1.6 million - and even named his son Kal-El, four, after the Man of Steel.

    The villain of IM3 was pretty lame.

    But so far Thor has had the only strong villain in the MCU.

    So yeah.

    Yeah, and the cartoon has been really good thus far.

    The action is really fun, scenes are always interesting but without resorting to being stupid as hell, the dialogue and expressions are top notch and I always get a good couple laughs out of any episode.

    And, surprisingly, it has continued to improve as the season goes on.

    The writers/director really seem to know what they're doing, and I've been really impressed at how solid it's been.

    I think I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

    It was great having Iron Man fight a guy who wasn't just another take on Iron Man. Having him be created by Tony but not actually out for any real vengeance was great too. And his plan was actually pretty creative and clever!

    Really my only complaint is that they never really sat down and told us exactly what he was after, but then I'm not sure they really had to.

    He was after creating a market for his super-soldier serum. There's really only one line in the movie where he says it, but it was more or less the same plot as Tomorrow Never Dies and Game of Shadows in terms of villain motivation; the ability to start wars at will so he can sell shit to people.

    Oh, right. I guess I keep forgetting that having the Vice (soon to be) President in his pocket was a major part of it, because I recall his lines about supply and demand but never put two and two together.

    Yeah, IM3 spoilers,
    I still don't get why people say the Mandarin wasn't real/wasn't Killian.

    Killian literally tells the viewer he is The Mandarin and Shane Black has outright said he is The Mandarin.

    He isn't 616 Mandarin, but he isn't meant to be. He is the MCU Mandarin who is a different character. MCU Thor and Loki are different from the comics, but they are still the same characters.

    It is definitely not trumpeted from the highest roof-tops, because the real villain in that movie is
    Tony Stark's own insecurities.

    Its also easy to read in a larger plot to this
    Mandarin holds the balls of the President he put into office and a terrorist group. He talks about ruling from the Shadows. He's a guy looking for Power for Powers sake do to the powerlessness he felt when he was younger.

    Not terribly original but it works fine.

    I was a pretty firm "we didn't get "The Mandarin" even after he says he is, until someone pointed out that Shane Black said he was. Word of god, and all.

    Make a man President just to sell a bit of money. Obviously furthering AIM's goals was part of it but the long term plan was likely "be the guy who secretly rules the world".
