Don't take his comments seriously.

Well, I got into it with the FW stuff like most folks. I get that adult fans can sit here 25 years later and, you know, debate the logic in the Pizza Monster episode of the show, or which accessory of the toys is coolest... that's fine. I just outgrew it. And I do like other TMNT things.
* I like a healthy portion of the Archie comics. I don't know that I would necessarily want to see more of it now as an adult, but it's too ingrained in my childhood not to still enjoy the heck out of it. Plus, it's not remotely as vapid as the cartoon that spawned it.
* I like the first NES TMNT game. It was surprisingly innovative for its time and versatile in its gameplay. They gave up after that. The new one might be OK, seems to be an IDW adaptation and seems like it captures the spirit. And Waltz worked on it so that's cool. I will give it a gander at some point.
* I like about 70% of the 1990 movie.
* I like about... 40% of the 2007 movie.
* I have an I love-you/I-hate-you affair with the IDW book. But it's always been well-written. It definitely has its moments. Kind of wish it would stop trying to please everybody and sort of just do its own thing, but it's maybe it's too late for that and it seems fairly committed to being a jambalaya of everything TMNT -- the good and a disproportionate % of the bad. Every new incarnation of TMNT doesn't need new Bebops, Rocksteadys, Mechaturtles, Mutagen Mans, and all of that.
* I enjoy the Nickelodeon cartoon with my daughter. It's not the TMNT to me, but it's funny and we enjoy it.
But I agree, it's probably much easier and simpler to just shrug and go, "Oh yeah, mean 'ole Andrew, he doesn't like nuthin but Mirage!"

(I wonder if I still have that 5th of vodka left over from trying to watch the first one....)
