OK.

I prefer the 2003 cartoon takes on the Mirage stories opposed to the comics, because I am an other media centric fan.
I'm not sure what this means.

True. But there are so many people around here that are like, "Mirage... 2k3... SAME THING! LOLZ!"

Dumb. Wrong.

I read Return to New York and seen the 2k3 episode I actually prefer the 2k3 adaptation over the original Mirage version.
Well there's no accounting for taste, I suppose.

My point is I think you gripe too much about the 2k3 series as a whole. It is a kids show, there is no way they could do a faithful adaptation of the source material given it was aimed at a young audience and the network
No sh*t. I'm not "griping" about 2k3 any more than I "gripe" about any of the other cartoons... they're not intended for you or I, they're intended for this guy:

Probably right.
