Things you didnt like about 2k3 tmnt - Page 4

Wow Cybercubed, you're a real champion for free speech, ain't ya?

*Leo656* · 08-11-2013, 11:22 PM

If Leo is your favorite character, it can easily negate many "complaints" some people have about 2K3 (as well as makes the OT a f*ckin' chore to sit through).

Easily my favorite adaptation of the turtles. I really liked the voices for the turtles and the muscular physique they had. This show was a more serious take on the turtles so I find it appropriate that they sounded and looked more grown up. With that being said FF and BTTS were terrible and killed the show. I wish they would have given more time to Raph, Donnie, and Mikey. They needed more episodes focusing on them. The Rat King was all but forgotten after I Monster. It would've been nice to see that story arc expanded upon.

Out of all adaptations of TMNT, this is my second favourite - after the 2007 CG movie. Yes, I am a Leo fan

The things I absolutely hated about the show were;
Mikey's annoying character and lack-lustre puns.
Only one reference to them swapping weapons in What A Croc. There should have been more emphasis on learning each other's weapons.
Some episodes were just dire. I can't watch them now, they bug me so much. Nano, Junkatlantis and pretty much the whole of season seven.
How many Shredder's? So we have Demon Shredder, Utrom Shredder, Cyber Shredder and Karai. Did I miss anyone? Seriously, why is it sooo easy to become The Shredder? (emphasis on The. Should have been one only)
BTTS theme song. I think they ran out of ideas for it. The only bit I liked was the line 'the turtles got your back ...' and that was it. Urgh.
Changes in the way the series was animated. I guess funding must have been cut for the later seasons, but BTTS was particularly bad.

But, on the reverse, the things I absolutely loved about the show were;
Certain episodes were incredible. The episodes that will stay on my mind forever are Turtles Forever, Shredder Strikes Back, Tales of Leo, The Ultimate Ninja, City at War, The Big Brawl, The Lesson, Exodus, Grudge Match, Bad Day, Prodigal Son (actually the whole arc is amazing, including the ancient one teaching Leo and the lair being attacked in his absence), Good Genes, Fly Me To The Moon, Timing is Everything, DNA is Thicker Than Water, The Freaks Come Out At Night.
Leo doing stuff wrong. Like stepping on a mine in the sewers. It's nice to know he can still get things wrong.
The whole Leo goes dark-side arc and training with Ancient One.
The Ninja Tribunal arc. Really liked this.
The Dark Turtles from FF.
The theme tune from FF.
Weapon switching in What A Croc. This should have happened more often.
"I hate the future" Raphael.
The mini eps. What a great little addition to the show.

The pseudo cursing. Things like "What the shell" or "Aw Shell". It made it seem like they were trying too hard to be "Too cool for school" or something.

The episode where the turtles met Casey when the were little kids, or when they visited the Ninja Tribunal when they were kids. To me it just came off as too convenient and a little goofy.

Sometimes I though some of the voice acting for some of the characters were um...iffy.

This comment should be closed. It contains an opinion I don't agree with.

Definitely made infinitely worse by repetition ad nauseam.

I found it cool back when I was a kid, so I guess that was their plan all along. But yes, it got old very fast, especially since it was said a lot more often than it should.

Well Jester, CyberCubed tried to convey that he wasn't too serious about these forums, now less than 48 hours later he can't even stand this thread existing (wanting it to be closed).

That's CyberCubed for ya, ladies and gentlemen...

As mentioned in the Lose the lair in Season 2 thread, the fact the Turtles lost their lair, real or imagined, way too many times.

*NinjaMan* · 08-12-2013, 06:53 PM

Ninja Tribunal arc
Demon Shredder
BTTS
FF
Hun
"Rat King"
Ultimate Ninja
Drako
Hardly any worthwhile mutants besides the Turtles, Splinter, and LH.

*CyberCubed* · 08-12-2013, 07:08 PM

People are complaining about Hun now? Compared to who, the one-dimensional Dogpound?

*NinjaMan* · 08-12-2013, 07:13 PM

Also hated the Ancient One and the whole Yoshi is your grandfather and Ancient One great grandfather nonsense.

Drako-Cat · 08-12-2013, 07:14 PM

What a big surprise you hate Drako, like nearly everyone here does

I blame the writers.

Maybe they just don't like him. It's not necessary to compare everything to get an appreciation like you do.

You blame the writers... So then you realize he's a crap character? Your fixation on him seems a bit suspicious, IMO.

Yeah why bring Dogpound into this? I remember not everyone liked Hun back then, even when he broke out into his one. And dude he was kinda one dimensional in season 1. Just shredder's strong arm.

It probably depends on which strenght the laser-raygun is loaded.

*Leo656* · 08-13-2013, 09:17 PM

That kinda thing is strictly "cartoon science". What's worse is how in every movie, cartoon and TV show ever, people can dodge laser beams even though lasers are essentially light and you couldn't simply dodge them.

I remember reading John Byrne say he stopped watching the first X-Men movie when he saw someone jumping out of the way of Cyclops' eye beams. Dude takes his comic book science seriously.
