Old TMNT vs. New TMNT
 

[Edit: Post removed. See below. --Krang]

Topics like this aren't allowed since it leads to bashing and flaming.

I like them both. So there no fighting.

Dosen't matter. Both are good toons. Neither one is better.

I'll let Krang decide if he wants this locked or not.

IU like the new oe better for many reasons.

Anyway, this thread will be locked soon so it doesn't matter. Some people are too imature to discuss things like this without bashing.

That sucks if they lock this, I was curious to see what you guys thought. What happened to free speech?

Free speech as far as the old toon is concerned led to bashing, flaming and insults here, so topics like this one are forbidden.
And btw I think it's ridiculous to compare these shows since they are different as day and night!

Exactly. They both have their good qualities. About the only thing you can compare is maybe the difference between the characters, but that doesn't really matter because it's all relative. I think the way TMNT are portrayed in each show perfectly suits the situation.

Like I said, if you don't have a useful reply, then don't. The question is, which series do you like better? What's up with people and irrelevant speculation? Yeah, so they are different...which did you like better?

*Waits patiently for Krang to deliver the smackdown*

Neither show is better or worse then the other. It's unfair to even try to compare them, because they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I like the old show for various reasons, and I like the new show for various reasons. To compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of each series is unfair. They're both good for their time. And comparing them just leads to people bashing the old show. Which is against the rules of the forum. Besides, the old show lasted about 10 years. When the new show has done that, then we can talk. ;) :D

Aherm...the thing is...you THINK the old toon sucks, and just cause you think that doesn't make it so. Both cartoons are good. The problem is, some people here aren't mature enough to understand that some people like the old show, and they flame, bash, ect fans of the old show, that's why threads like this one aren't alowed. While I like the new show better, I agree...it's not a fair comparison...the old show was ment to be comedy driven, then new show is ment to be action driven...it's just not the same...just cause I like the new show better does not mean the old show sucks, it just means that the more serious theme suits my tastes better, I still like the old show too.

Also, this is a private message board that is owned and run by Krang. Free Speech doesn't apply in cases like this. You agree to follow the rules of the forum, so have to agree to the terms of service. Which includes following the rules of not bashing the old toon.

It's totally unfair comparison. It's like comparing the 60's Batman with Adam West to Burton's movies with Micheal Keaton.

Re: Old TMNT vs. New TMNT
 

They were producing a good cartoon, and even when I watch the new one, I think BOTH are EQUALLY good.

I hate these god damn threads, someone lock it

When speaking of free speech, I realize the obvious rules of the forum, but that doesn't rule out the institution of American philsophy. But it's a lost cause. This site and it's forum are obviously biased.

Yes, it does. The right to free speech ends, on privately owned message boards. You have to follow the rules of the board above the right to free speech. It's just like if Krang owned a newspaper, you may have the right to free speech. But he doesn't have to allow it to be printed in his news paper. The site and forum arn't biased, they were built to honor the old toon, because the owner is a fan of the old toon. The new toon is good, but it should never be a reason to bash the old toon. So in a way, yes you are correct. It is a lost cause. Because 1. It's an unfair comparison, they are both good in their own respects. 2. It's against the rules of the forum to bash the old toon.

As far as "this board is biased" is concerned, cry me a river milweskee. Krang busts his ass on this site, and I gurantee you his primary motive is not to erect a platform from which you can piss all over everything that inspired him to build it in the first place. If you are so damn passionate about the principle of "freedom of Speech" on a PRIVATELY OWNED message board, go open up your own. You will have all the freedom you want there.

I dont think this thread should be locked, I think it's interesting to see who likes what, and just because they are so different doesnt mean you can't compare them and say what you like about each. Most people in real life like the old show better, but people here dont like it. I think the old show was more of a cartoon that everyone can enjoy, while the new one is just for the fans.

The topic is pointless. There was a poll on this, and the results were clear. No reason to do this every week, especially if it will start flaming.

old series...
 

eep.. i like the old series better.. ever notice how the turtles seem like they're in their 20s in the new cartoon? Their voices suck nowadays, and april looks as if shes 15..
phew! im glad i got that out. :lol:

and in the spanish translation she sounds like 30-40 :oops: ...........

Why not compare the 2 toylines instead?
 

I liked the old toyline cause of the detail & stuff. The new like tends to follow the style of the cartoon which isn't bad, but doesn't have much detail.

In real life I always have to defend the new show cause everyone thinks its stupid, but here I always feel I have to back up the old show..

while i clearly don't see this thred lasting more than three days, I'll add my two cents:

Recently I have been doing a semester long paper on the old cartoon...and looking back at it all grown up made me realize a few things:

the old show has a tendancy to be cheesy...but you know what? So do the TMNT in general....that's one of the reasons we can watch....we laugh when they burb for like a minute straight...we get all tense when they fight shredder, we get "awe yeah" when raph makes a rude remark.... or all "what the heck?" when donnie says something smart....

those things have never changed. they never will change. The old show brought up the same feelings i have about the new one---good for the imagionation....great for the soul.

neither is better....just different times in which the turtles lived

(although....I would like to see a new episode go back in time and visit their classic selves!)

This one aint gonna last, agreed.

And I also have noticed that in "real life" I have to defend the new TMNT against people who think it's awful. These are always the types of people who only knew of the TMNT from the cartoon, never knew about the comics, and have no interest in seeing anything that might "tarnish" the memories of their childhood relics.

To me, if you're a TMNT fan, you're a TMNT fan, and you should be able to find worth in all the different ways that they're represented (well... maybe not Image... and TNM is a stretch too). To automatically blacklist the new show because "it's not the old show" is, to me, pointless and unfortunate. In MY OPINION, the new show is better in almost every way, but some people are just hung up on things like Bebop and Rocksteady and seem to think that any version of TMNT without them CAN'T be any good (despite the fact that the old cartoon goes about as much against what the "real" TMNT are as could possibly be imagined).

Again, just my opinion. I love what I've seen of the new show, and I think it's way better than the old in both story quality and animation, as well as having a more universal humor rather than jokes aimed at 6 year olds. But I can still watch the old show. I don't hate it or anything. To me, the new show just feels more like what the TMNT are supposed to be.

Glad I got to say it before this gets locked at least. :lol:

See, that's totally my point....
the old show is a classic....its still watchable, its still enjoyable....but its etched in time. It was great for its time.

We have a lot to thank it for, it started TURTLE MANIA... (did any of you know that playmates toys produced the show's 1st seasons)

Technically, its why most of us are here.

The new turtles show is for a new generation, one that has grown up with increasing special effects, and ever growing animation (we have the japanese to thank) its apart of growing up....things must change to survive....
but the classics never die.

PLUS THE OLD CARTOON GAVE US THE FAMOUS "DOES THE PHRASE....(you know the rest)"

You guys do a darn good job moderating yourselves. Looks like I'm not needed, LOL!!

Anyway, no one said you can't say which you like better. Tell us why you like the new toon, just don't spew crap about how the old toon sucks. We hate reading crap like that. Be objective.

And about being biased, the website is named "The Technodrome" after all, so yeah it's biased. So what.

milweskee, threads like this aren't allowed because of immature people like you who mindlessly bash the old cartoon. This site is based on the old cartoon, so that's why there's a rule against bashing it (and it doesn't take much intelligence to tell that this is an old cartoon site with a name like "The Technodrome" :roll:). I doubt you would like it if you set up a message board for a new cartoon site and old cartoon fans came in and started bashing it. So if you don't like the fact that you're not allowed to do your immature and pointless bashing here, leave.
