Considering this was a troll thread I think this so called 'thread' should be closed.

Nobody watched Batman: TAS in proper order back in the day when it first aired.

It's only kids like neatoman who don't get you can have episodic storytelling that isn't part of an arc. TV in the 80s and 90s had great TV that was episodic and didn't rely on serialisation. It's more about educating people of today's generation who are misguided into thinking the only good TV or film is that that is serialised. It does backfire in movies of course as studios now try to get trilogies up and running instead of making sure the first movie in a series is any good. What it all comes down to is ignorance of today's generation.

Yep, forgot about that one. Good point.

We know it's trolling by Andrew and I hope the mods are taking notice of that but since the FW series had character arcs his attempt to troll pretty much failed.
Andrew our resident troll...

Being a 14 year old must be fun, complaining about all those loser 30+ who still like a TV show from when they were '8' (5 my arse). I mean how dare they? Yep neatoman when I was 14 I can't say I was a total ignorant fan who thought the IDW comic (which is arguably the most disrespectful to TMNT) was perfection but had a go at anything that wasn't. I complained that nobody wants to see episodic TV, that the 80s had no good cartoons while comparing a cartoon made explicitly to sell toys (The Transformers) to a cartoon that was out to just make TMNT more recognisable while selling toys. When I was 14 I educated myself and gave a fair shot to stuff from the past, I learned to appreciate stuff from the past compared to now. Now I realise I got it all wrong and that I should of been acting like you. Did you know I'm being sarcastic? That's what happens when you reach 30 neatoman and have to deal with whiny teens like yourself.
