I Think I Would've Preferred Nick's Series Be Just A Comedy.
With Disney XD airing Phineas & Ferb constantly in preparation for its series finale (man that was a good cartoon), it made me think about the Nickelodeon TMNT series. I absolutely love how Phineas & Ferb had a comedic good vs evil with Perry The Platypus and Dr Evil. I think I would've actually preferred that Nick had made their TMNT series just a comedy. Teen Titans Go! is another series that uses super heroes in just a comedy, without it really being a true "action cartoon". I honestly think I would've enjoyed a TMNT comedy from Nickelodeon more than what they're putting out now. Any thoughts?

Nobody's opinion is wrong... But your opinion is concentrated evil! :x
Too many cartoons these days are simply comedies, we need variety. ALso, if the TMNT fanbase is to be believed, TMNT can easily be too comedic and fall apart. Without darker stuff like "Yoshi's love triangle" TMNT loses what sets it apart from other anthropomorphic animal stories, if you make it a simple comedy you're left with nothing but a funny animal cartoon. And I don't want it to be just another funny animal cartoon in a jungle of comedy cartoons. |
I'd like the show to find a balance between action and comedy, instead of continuously going back and forth at inappropriate times

The original was just a comedy & 4kids' was a bit heavy on the drama. That we have a nice blend of the two now is great. It's the perfect formula.
If you want more of the same just re-watch your Fred Wolf DVD's or something. |
no more comedy turtle shows. That is why I can't watch the Fred Wolf show for long periods of time.

No, I like the current blend of comedy/drama. I'd like some more developed arcs, please. (Couldn't believe the big "Dark Raph" deal was one puny episode, and it was stupid mind control.)

I don't mind comedy, but I agree I like that this one has fallen in the middle between what the first and second series did.

Pop culture references The action is slapstick Every answer is a joke Half of the plots are utterly absurd The most threatening villains in their universe behave like a married couple etc The entire thing is one big gag. Whether or not you found it funny doesn't change the facts. |
Some of the jokes in the original toon were very funny. Granted it was more cheesy funny than "great joke" funny, but a lot of it was gold.
It was just some of the weaker Season 3 or 4 episodes that brought the show down, as long as you ignore the crappier episodes and watch the good ones, most of the original toon is still watchable to this day. I enjoy at least 75% of the series to this very day. |
No. It most likely would have just been dumb wacky or random humor. Basically "Nick Mikey the TV Show".
There's too much of that these days. It's good as is. Solid story and nice action. |
So you wanted it to be like Teen Titans Go? Ew.
|
Yeah that's probably the worst TMNT-related thing I can imagine. :lol:
I mean if there WAS a TMNT show like that just for the 3-year-olds, and it wasn't the ONLY TMNT show on the air at that moment in time, I guess that wouldn't be the end of the world, but it'd still by definition be pretty damn terrible. |

No, I like the show as it is. If it's just straight up comedy, that's not a good thing because there's only so much you can do. I like my Turtles to kick some serious enemy a** and to be serious about it, thank you very much. Yes, I liked the original cartoon for what it was, but I'm older now, and I don't want to see that in this series. What we have now is fine.

I guess I just don't think that Nick's TMNT series has found the right mix of action and comedy that the original Teen Titans series or Batman: The Brave & The Bold had. Since Nickelodeon is far more known for comedy than they are for action, I thought that maybe Nick might be better at producing just a pure comedy for the TMNT. I guess I'm the only one who thought that. That's alright, no harm in asking.
