And I will say this: even if you like the direction of FF, wether it be the stories or new characters or humor over action or whatever it is that makes you like the show, you have to admit that the look of the animation isn't quite as nice as 2k3. Maybe some of you will disagree with me (seems to be a given) but I just don't find the art-style of FF as pleasing as 2k3. What's up with Bishop's mouth in FF? Why's he look like a rabbit?

Oh no that I agree with but if you ask me whats coming up next is even more streamlined and looks even worse than FF.
I like things about every version of TMNT I'm kinda one of those people who hates to see the turtles being bashed I guess.
The boys in green and the company have been there for me when no one else in my life has been.
At the end of the day they are just show made to entertain and that's exactly what they all do for me just some more than others.

People say that fans who enjoy the OT should love the FF since it is more like it, but to tell you the truth I didn't. I don't think FF holds up to the greatness that was the OT, that is my opinion, others are free to disagree. I liied the OT for the OT, its charm its likeable characters the humour and spattering of serious and emotional elements that under scored the lightered hearted tone of the serious and suble character development that, despite what other say, was apart of the OT series. and of course the turtles and their unique dynamics that never tried to be like mirage. It took me a while, but I also came to love the 2k3 series and the elemants that set it apart as a diffrent series as the OT. I came to love the darker story lines and and more serious tone the edgier more conflicted characters and the engaging and engrossing story arcs that that all tyed together, As well as the action and fighting, oh my gosh for once you see the turtles acting like ninjas who have to stay in the shadows and litterly be apart from the world thats all around them. The 2k3 series was the first series to really translate the tragidy of the the turtles osterisation from the normal world and it endeared the turtles to me. I also came to appriciate the turtles new personalites and deeper developement (despite some misgivings) and the more conflicted dynamics the turtles share with each other as brothers, unlike the OT where the turtles generally got along with each, the 2k3 turtles don't always do and fight and feel real fealings of resentment and inferority. This is why I liked 2k3 series, for it own merits and because it isn't like the old series.
The new series pulled off a big acomplishment and morphed into it's own medium despite how monsterously huge the OT series was and still did it's own thing. That is why I can't accept FF. I like the new series because it's diffrent from the old toon, not because it is similar which is what FF seemed like it tried to be. The turtle suddenly being thrust in a world where they can walk around with other mutants and alines is great but I feel that it took some of the richness away from the show that I loved about the 2k3. I don't want the turtles to try to be like the old series, the old series has already been done and it can't be emulated. I'm not saying all of I do agree that season four (even though I enjoyed) went a little over board in trying to be too edgy and R-rated to the point of being nearly ridiculous. But I think all they had to to do was ease up on that and it would have been fine. I not saying everything was bad in FF, I actually quite enjoyed some characters like Torbin Zixx and Viral sort of grew on me (seriously how many genuanly threateneing female villans are there in the ninja turtles?) but I am glad that FF is done and that they will be returning to the present. I hope for the best in this new direction in the series.

Well think about this...FF had one season man...the old toon had 10.
That's many more years to become a well done series...had FF been even given a hint of a chance which it wasn't I'm sure it could have been a hell of allot better. You can't do everything in one season but they sure tried their best if you ask me.
It's like comparing a Watermelon (old toon) to a cherry(FF) one that I don't think is even a fair comparison.
But I'm stating things that are the truth not trying to be bitchy or try to even make you see my way because I know you cant.
And it's fine I don't care I like each and everyone of the turtles worlds for what they are.
