Well keep in mind these two are basically Juggernauts so the Turtles have to do something in order to beat and seeing how the Turtles are ninjas(albiet very strong/skilled ninjas compared to the generic foot fodder) so their only way in defeating Bebop and Rocksteady is to outsmart them.

As for Bradford and Xever I prefer if they were human especially for Xever since his fightscenes weren't as impressive after he was mutated.

I think everyone has to agree that IDW Bebop and Rocksteady are the only versions of the character that should translate to film. Yes, they're stupid. But they're behemoths of destruction, murderous rampaging juggernauts.
They've:

Really not interested in seeing them at all. And just having them be hired by legit characters (Karai, etc.) makes those characters dumb by design.

(I promised I wouldn't make my own posts over here, but I think commenting is fine...)
Just adapt IDW for a TMNT film, all of it. IDW's takes on the characters work. It's nostalgia pandering done right, with all OT characters being overhauled to a point all OT flaws are gone. USE IDW Bebop and Rocksteady, they are lethal killing machines you barely survive in a battle, and have to be outsmarted. All of hatred and arguments against the IDW versions I've seen so far is simple bias against the OT versions, which has absolutely ZERO in common with the competence level and seriousness of the IDW versions.

There's been more than enough of that so far.

And I absolutely agree with your bolded statement. The whole post, but ESPECIALLY that bolded statement.

Wait... do people here generally not like the IDW series?

It's generally well liked. It's well written, but it's really not for me.

no, if anyone doesn't like it, it's usually just a minority.

Sadly though, I don't think any future version is gonna be to your liking. As I told you on Facebook, my own ideas for a 2034 remake borrow a lot from the Archie comics (though I don't plan on getting into the "environmental" stuff frequently touched on back then) and the Foot Clan isn't even a centuries old family business like it's been up to this point. It starts off as a martial arts school like Cobra Kai in The Karate Kid. To make a long story short, Mirage is dead. Leave it rest in peace.

The IDW series is critically acclaimed. Sometimes the pacing can be off and some characters get lost in the background, but I guess that's the nature of comic books in general.
You only have 12 issues a year with issues that are only 20 pages long, so its a fault of the medium rather than the writing itself. |

It still needs to last 75 months in a row to surpass the Archie series in length. We're in month 64 (the same number of issues is the number of months its been out, of course)

Yeah, but that's the ongoing only. Adding up all the (absolutely necessary) micro and mini series and now Universe, and we surpassed Archie a long ago.

And with those micro-series they used to do, there are more than just 64 issues if we want to split hairs.

Archie TMNT went on for nearly a decade. I think the first issue was in 1988 and it went on to 1995. |
