Yeah, well the morons who bash him and Lawson over here and in the comics are'nt much different. There's a strong underlining resentment towards Laird for allegedly "raping characters" HE co-created and is'nt obligated to preserve for their selfish ungrateful interests, or for Lawson's alleged "bad art", which they harrased Pete with daily only for it to continue regardless.
Of course what you bring up is a far worse example of reasons to dislike the guy. Given he's said time and again he does'nt hate the original cartoon, but that sadly does'nt exempt him from fans looking for other reasons to spit in his face for keeping the franchise alive.
It's unfair on both levels.
As for the argument the animation of the original is better than the new series...that REALLY depends on which studio is animating both, the first five parts of the series ARE arguably better animated. Then there's a good degree of animation that was inflexable during seasons two and three that went from superior to dogier variations. The new series has often went from stilted, to flat, to awe inspiring at times. Both shows are'nt really better than the other in terms of CONSISTENT animation, but when it comes to originality and humour, the original aces the new series. It's perfectly easy to say this whilst still being a fan of the current series also, so it's not like I'm one of those "original rulez because it's the original" people, the original rules because it just is objectivly quicker, more action filled, and more fun. And that's something Pete himself described perfectly

Ha. I disagree, and I'm being perfectly honest. How can a show look stupid years later when it treated itself like a cartoon, and a funny one at that with jokes that would always go over the heads of those who watch brain-dead pap like Ying Yang Yo and Spongebob?
