Correct. It's in no way s continuation of the 80s cartoon.

I honestly don't get what's so special about "Return to New York" in the first place, "City at War" to be sure but "Return to New York"? They go back to New York, they team up with Zog (who never gets an explaination for why he's on earth by the way), attack the Foot, fight some goofy looking mutant Shredder clones and kill the Shredder... Again.
I mean really? Flipping through it just for this post... It's nicely drawn, I'll give it that, but the actual story is about as standard as it gets. |

i remember not making much sense out of mirage city at war. nothing really happened. karai got introduced. some old guy in a building no one knew got blown up. casey got some waitress knocked up. i think april's sister was introduced. it just seemed like one 'everyone drifts apart' story line, probably reflecting the end of the E and L partnership.
I don't remember much else beyond that. Return to New York i remember liking a little more as far as the comics go. But i swear nothing satisfies mirage fans much. i found both the Return To New York and City at War storylines rather fun and satisfying in 4kids form. the former one of my favorites. |

I'm really excited for the new show, I think it'll be a lot of fun for me, I wrote about what I think it'll be like analyzing it on my website a week or two ago. I think most people here will hate it though but it seems like it'll be a fun show.
Anyone expecting something serious will not be happy, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun, just take a look at the original teen titans cartoon, which is what I think Nick wanted for the CG show but it really wasn't anything like it. |

I feel like being angry at a cartoon because it didn't tell a story the way you wanted it is more childish than the cartoon itself.

Mostly the parts involving over-simplifying a good, tense story into "fight these guys, then fight these guys, then cut off this guy's head." I wasn't actually enraged, like I wasn't yelling at the TV, but obviously I haven't watched it since then.

I feel that way about people who nitpick the Nick series, generally, but I do not agree that it's equal to being upset with a poorly done adaption.

Oh, far be it for me to expect the 4Kids cartoon or really any other children's cartoon to remotely faithfully adapt something like "Return to New York." I can only fault it for marching out "Return to New York"'s name and intentionally making a mockery of it. Why even call it that? Why invite that kind of comparison, when it will fail on every level to measure up?

Since it seems people are still unclear as to what these terms mean: A sequel is a continuation of the last entries continuity, taking place afterward. A retcon is an alteration of the current series' continuity, past or present, while it's still going on. A reboot is the start of a new continuity. A remake is a reboot that retraces the plot of an entry in a previous continuity. Note that all of the above presume the same media. This is why 4Kids City at War isn't usually called a remake of Mirage City at War; one's a cartoon series and the other's a book series.

Only examples of "reboots" in TMNT, IMHO: 1) The first Platinum Dunes movie in 2014. Clearly that's a reboot of the whole movie franchise before it, without doubt. 2) 4Kids cartoon. Clearly that's a reboot of the cartoon universe. 3) Nicktoon. Clearly that's another reboot of the cartoon universe, with a beginning and an end (forthcoming). There are no other "reboots" in TMNT, that I can tell.

In the new show i will be a utrom again but this time i will have a much more powerful robot body than in 2003. Later i will use the mutagen to become human. Then at th end of the series i will go to a demon and become a demon or zombie just like i did in Nick series. Now that i killed Splinter and there is not another human left from the hamato clan my foot ninjas who are watching all over the world told me that a alien Splinter from rat like alien species is coming to earth to fight me. He will look something like this https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...4U3kRpAUYmxfQA and he will be the first alien Splinter that i will fight. First he was rat who mutated then a human who became rat and now he is an alien rat. But no matter how many splinters they are i will KIILL THEM ALL!!

That is sort of the case with TMNT as the OT series was the first incarnation of this series and then faded out in the late 90's 4kids version was released in 2003 and lasted until 2007. and the current series began in 2012. All are targeted a newer audience and there is still a gap of time between each of these incarnations. That is is what Disney has been doing with the live action versions of its popular films as way of telling an old story to a new audience. The IDW and the movies are more of a revisioning of the story as it creates its own continuity within the franchise, but there are current versions of the franchise that are still active. |

Or maybe not a metric ton of camp and sight gags and wacky toy things whirling around the screen. There's a thought.
