Anyway, I don't see how TF didn't potray them the right way.
What most people don't understand is that the OT was most popular during it's fourth, fifth and sixth season. Back then, the turtles were HUGELY dumbded down from their original three seasons.

So, I can get people complaining if they're talking about the turtles from the first three seasons, but those other ones are even worse than in TF.
I've watched those other seasons, and as bad as they are in many ways, the Turtles themselves aren't--by which I mean their personalities; their fighting really is crap. The dumbing down occurred mostly in the advertising and peripheral media, which never shut up about pizza, ooze, cowabunga, and the like. Yet I've challenged TF-apologists to cite specific examples of the Turtles making dumb about a threat, all acting like Mikey, and crying under pressure during the OT, and none of them have ever been able to do it. Most TF-apologists admit to not being fans of the OT, so they aren't the best judges.
