Like, I have no problem with Mikey being the baby, and everyone treating him like the baby, I just don't want him to BE a baby.

That's my issue, though. I don't understand why just because Mike being the most chill or the least serious should mean that he should be the youngest, though. I've never liked that angle.

IDW's designs of the Turtles have always been all over the place obviously due to the constant changing artists. A lot of people didn't like Dan Duncan's designs for them either, and now most of them mimic the Nick designs.
To be honest I'm not sure I've ever liked a single look of the IDW Turtles overall, except maybe Ben Bates but even his were a mix of 4kids/Nick designs. |

I know people who are the baby of a cohort, and that standing doesn't have anything to do with how old they are. It's not a canon hill I care enough to defend. Unlike Mike Being Competent Comic Relief, which is one I'm willing to die on.

If anything, I wish they'd have drawn a line in the sand early in IDW about, "This is our look, this is the IDW TMNT" be it with the wraps, no elbow pads, whatever, and just stick with that over all of their books and all of their artists. And letting (I hope not encouraging?) artists draw the IDW TMNT exactly like the Nick children's cartoon doesn't exactly help sell the case that they're trying to do their own thing or in any way "aiming older" than it.

But for something like IDW that's more of a modern action/super hero comic, it feels weird. |

But I get it. We're not DC or Marvel... we take what we can get. And when good artists can only do 1 or 2 story arcs at a time, we have a more Mirage-like medley.

I mean, you get a bunch of people in the room, say, "Draw me the 'Mirage TMNT style.'" You may get some blend of Farley with the Eastman & Laird look, maybe, whether it's early Eastman & Laird look or later Eastman & Laird look, maybe some Lawson in there, but it's going to have a fairly distinct look. You say, "Draw me the 'Archie TMNT style.'" You may get some blend of Chris Allan and Mitchroney, maybe, but it's going to be pretty distinct too.
Now, you say, "Draw me the 'IDW TMNT style'"... what the hell would you get, and how would it stand out?

I for one absolutely loved the 2012 designs. The three toes gave me a little "hmmm" at first, but seeing they had 3 fingers it honestly made more sense... and I remembered back to my childhood when I used to wonder why they had two toes and 3 fingers?
I blame the ratings drop on two things, one the piss poor scheduling on Nicks part. SpongeBob ratings are up... Well of course they are when you run wall to wall SpongeBob all damn day and squeeze one 30 minute turtles episode randomly in between and change their air date and time slot like changing underwear.... Two, a lot of fans dropped off during Season 3, and by dragging out the whole North Hampton arc for so long caused a lot of fans loose interest and just not come back. The scheduling on top of that issue was beyond infuriating. I had to DVR almost everything because I couldn't keep track of wtf they were airing and when they were airing it and I'm a grown ass adult. No kids or parents were going to take that much initiative to watch new episodes. Nick did the 2012 turtles dirty... plain and simple.

Competent Comic Relief is really REALLY hard to write, is the best conclusion that can be drawn here.

I think there's an even...er touch to take with him, to make him the comic relief but without constantly making him the butt of the joke. It takes more effort, but I think just making a point to let him be the lighter/goofier one and also having his brothers treat him with equal respect would go a long way.

I think the Mirage version sort of did that.

What did Nag post there before he deleted it?
If you have inside knowledge post everything. You won't get fired, nobody at Nick knows your real name. It's time to spill the beans. |
