The 2012 series brought us what the 1987 series couldn't
 

It brought us the destruction of Earth. It also brought an intergalactic adventure. The new series outperforms the old series in many ways.

Many ways indeed, like not relying on the same episode formula over and over again. This one has at least three episode formulas, truly some wonderful progression after thirty years. :lol:

So did the 4Kids series.

And that did it way better.

This to the max.

Although 4kids didn't have Armaggon. That is my one regret.

I find this topic very bizarre. The Nick cartoon is its own entire thing and isn't anything like the original series.

This one also doesn't have Usagi Yojimbo. :cry:

Like I keep saying, results may vary by episode but it's still the perfect mix of 1987 and 2003.

And i skipped that episode becuase of that

Really i know that it's alt universe, but with Putin in charge and WW III coming, soon it will happened to OUR Earth

...That's extremely lame on your part.
Especially considering it's one of the best episodes of the series. I'd go so far as to call it the standard by which all the other episodes are measured.

Yay, politics! Point of views! Just what we needed in our conversation about the comparison between two drastically different series about Ninja Turtles!

Yeah, I know I just contributed to Crisler's Law :tgrumble:

The 2012 series sometimes tries a little too hard to be the OT, especially recently. It's very clear Brandon Auman is a very big fan of the OT, and it's shown ever since he joined the show. All the unneeded filler/MOTW episodes, the cheesy humor, characters developing in one episode and immediately forgetting about it the next, the show has begun to have striking similarities to the OT. Regardless, the 2012 series does also have its own good qualities that set it apart from the OT by a long way (an actual story arc that continues throughout the show? Woah!).

......That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard so far. That's the equivalent of someone saying they don't like Superman because his home planet blew up using your (quite frankly lame) excuse.

It's a fictional cartoon about mutant turtles that know martial arts, for crying out loud. :roll:

Oh no, the Earth got destroyed in a fictional children's cartoon show! I am morally offended! :lol:

Dammit, I was hoping Cubed posted his catchphrase.

Sh*t man those triceratrons are working with Putin right

You joke now, but they're coming, and you know it, but you argue the truth. Putin has been working out deals with the Triceratops aliens. The black hole generator is ready! Only reptiles with ninja weapons can save us now! We were warned!!

Just another day on The Technodrome.

We're no Sonic fandom, but TMNT sure does attract it's share of weirdos.

But, in all fairness, we can't truly fault the OT for that point there as it was a product of its time. It started off syndicated. Most shows aimed at kids at that time and even before it, didn't have ongoing storylines. The 2k12 show is easier to keep up with compared to a show from nearly 30 years ago. If you missed an episode back then, you were screwed until it got a rerun. Most shows were episodic so that way, if you missed an episode of the series, it'll be easy to just sit down and watch it without worrying about what you missed.

Now, if you miss an episode of something...boom, internet, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Auman-certified shock vaule. :P

Gotta go fast.

That it does...
