Will this series ever see a nostalgic resurgence?
The 4Kids show premiered almost fifteen years ago. With the important role that nostalgia plays in many prominent media franchises, when do you think TMNT fans and casuals/regular people will start looking back fondly at the 2003 series on a more collective level?

I don't see it happening at all.

Yeah, unfortunately I think the Nick show has thoroughly overshadowed it.

Just watch, in a couple of months the Nick section here is going to be brought to a crawl, just like the PD section. |

That's TPTB's hope and intent, I'm sure.

I'm sure about that either but it does seem confusing how they treat the show. They gave it marathon but no regular airings, the show is available digitally but is missing 4 seasons and then there's the DVDs...
They're not even quarter-assing it but it's not exactly buried either... |

I believe people will start appreciating the 2k3 show alot more when Rise of the Tmnt starts airing.
I can see it having more of a nostalgic following than the Nick show in the distant future though. |

Amazon has certain seasons; maybe iTunes as well.

The first three seasons can be bought on Amazon digitally. I guess that's the best official option.

I never saw it on tv, only binge watched it online a few years ago. But truth be told, though I rarely post in this section, I actually really wish a new series would pick up where this one left off and bring back the designs similar/same as it had for most seasons.

No, 4Kids is never gonna "resurge."
But mark my words, after a few years and this "Rise of the Turtles" cartoon, nobody is going to remember the Nick cartoon, either. But everyone will continue to remember the Fred Wolf cartoon... because that's how this works.

It might happen some time in the future when people start having nostalgia about the 00s.

The 2k3 series began in 2003, it's nearly 15 years old. How old does something have to be to be nostalgic over it?
Fun fact: At the time the 4kids series started in 2003, the original cartoon only ended 7 years prior in 1996. For some odd reason it feels like the gap was longer but it wasn't. I guess time moves slowly as a kid. |

I would like it to but I'm not sure it will. The 2k3 series really had pretty poor exposure, at least in comparison with the other incarnations. I also think that some people, myself included, originally didn't even give it a chance because it was so different from what we knew. Now, granted, I have since seen it and definitely enjoy it but I don't remember it having the status that the FW series had and they aren't exactly pushing it a lot these days. I'd be happy if they just released it in full on DVD. It seems like they don't even want to acknowledge it most of the time.

Also, I don't think unique concepts in the Nick show are anywhere as recognized as recognized as those in 4Kids. For e.g. do you see Tiger Claw, Fishface and Shinigami combined being more fondly remembered than Bishop among tmnt fans? Last edited by FredWolfLeonardo; 09-19-2017 at 03:56 PM. |

He's the only Original character I can see being used in other versions, but even he recieves competition from Old Hob in IDW and the more obscure Kathmandu, both of whom might possibly be used instead.

I actually hope Shinigami appears somewhere else so she and Karai can become a lesbian couple in a future series.
