What is the one incarnation of the tmnt you could never get into?
As a part of being a tmnt fan, alot of us have come to appreciate alot of differentt versions over the years.
However, is there any one particular version you were never motivated to check out at all or if you did, not get into it one bit? For me, that version is the IDW comics. Now dont get me wrong, I didn't get into it not because of quality reasons (the comics look pretty well made to me), but because Im not much into comic books in the first place. Whereas I find Archie interesting because its related to the Original Cartoon and Mirage because its the Original tmnt, I cant motivate myself to get into IDW at all. If those comics were a tv show or a movie in the future I probably would check em out and probably even like/love them but for now, Im not a tmnt IDW fan.

Archie.
Never got into it as a kid, even less desire now as an adult.

For me it as The Next Mutation.
It's of a style that's never worked for me, and it came out at a time when I had even less interest in that sort of thing than I do now.

I've watched/read everything, so no. Even saw all of Next Mutation when it originally aired.
I guess the only thing I haven't read is the UK TMNT comics based on the original cartoon, but those have never been made available here so I can't read them. |

I've never had an interest in reading the comics, but aside from them, I was never able to get into the 2012 tv series. Thought it suffered from an identity crisis, as it couldn't strike the right balance between being lighthearted and serious. Didn't care much for the 1990 movie either when I first watched it as an adult, though I liked the 2007 film.

For those who can't get comics in their country, I'm pretty sure you can buy them digitally nowadays. You don't even have to buy physical comics anymore in the modern year of 2017.

The Archie comics... I own the 3 issue mini series but I couldn't see spending the cash to find great copies of the 72 issue run... I hear its kind of political... hahaha
And I wish I had never seen either new movies... the nightmares just never end... |

A bit premature for me to give and answer as I'm still exploring but I did catch a glance of Next Mutation and I'm confident I wouldn't get into that.

That's not even an incarnation. More like an abomination.

I think I tried for the Archie comics, but got bored.
Anything theatrical doesn't really grip me - least of all the 2007 movie. Not because of an "Utroms or gtfo" thing (though it doesn't help), but because they seem bottom of the barrel riding on Turtlemania™...no matter how good the 1990 movie apparently is. Though, the only thing the PD movies have done for me is design ideas. Krang's was the only thing I liked about the entire abomination. AND LAST MUTATION...

Gee, let's see here.
Then there's the Nickelodeon cartoon which is a bit of a mixed bag, I started out generally positive and to be fair it does have decent episodes throughout. However, it got so damn tiresome so early on and kept being so damn awkward, I just wish the last three episodes would get dumped on DVD within the next few weeks like the rest of them so I can just finish it and put it behind me already. |

That said, the only universe I really take any issue with is the Platinum Dunes one, but I'm not gonna beat that dead horse. I revisit all iterations pretty frequently, but I won't say that same of that one. Additionally, Mirage Vol. 4. It's decent but not really my cup of tea. I don't casually re-read those issues as I do most others. No hate, just find it a bit of a boring chore at times, to be honest. The Tales Vol. 2 stories that take place during that same time period are pretty good, though.

It's creepy, it's weird and it seems like just about one shade way from being pedophilic. It's weird that they love making that stuff and it's weird that grown adults want to see it.

----------------------------------------------- I'm not invested with the Nick cartoon anymore, and every other TMNT incarnation doesn't interest me. Personally, I am more interested in the characters than the franchise itself. |

Comics... Only because I didn't grow up a comic reader and was never really a thing I've done much of in general.
That said, I've still enjoyed some of what I've come across online now and then and I've considered getting collect volumes someday, so at the very least when I have the interest in doing so and can better afford it, it at least still gives me something to look forward to when TMNT is in a lull. Had I been paying attention to the franchise at the time, Next Mutation would probably be on that list. However it was just a guilty pleasure semi-binge watch a couple/few years ago when I found it available on demand. Quote:
I dunno, to each their own. I just find it on the adorable side. Don't really see how it would be almost pedo unless someone is not only attracted to the Turtles, but to every version. o.O Which I hope isn't the case with most normal people and just see the Turtles in that stuff as cute kids (Nick included unless a fan themselves is currently around that age), and no more attracted to it than someone would, say, be attracted to their spouse's childhood photos. Definitely a separation there that I hope most recognize. Last edited by IndigoErth; 08-30-2017 at 04:54 PM. |

I give most official TMNT a chance. I've never been motivated to explore any non official stuff such as bootleg toys, comics or graphic novels. There is so much authentic stuff I don't like to waste my time on other things. But who knows what the future holds I could change my mind.

Image. It has the black and white print and all red mask that Mirage had. Also, Shredder and Rat King are dead. No familiar reoccurring characters aside from April. It had all the Mirage qualities that made it boring to an other media fan. Not only that it was something that is so dark and depressing. It was willing to maime the Turtles and willing to kill one off too. Nothing familiar, only turn offs. Nothing about the Turtles I love is present. I may be older now and prefer more mature taste, but nothing like Image.
I spit venom on The Next Mutation as well especially the female Turtle concept, but I was initially taken to it during its run thinking it needed a second season to introduce old characters. I thought it could change direction from its campy tone and may be bring Shredder in full-time, but it did not get a chance. A year after cancellation I was over the hope of something silly and mediocre could be something interesting to me. I looked down upon it like I do Image be living the two contributed to the 4 plus year of a dark era and pretend neither exist.

The PD movies and Next Mutation hold no interest for me.
