[Donatello]

agreed about the new April origin. i think Peter really goes off the reservatyion with some of these stories. i think the whole April origin is annoying. was anybody hoping that she was more than just a normal person??

As for BTTS. I hope it's good. the phrase "up the humor level" does worry me. though i do beleve that the humor level of TMNT 2003 could have been upped. just the idea of that as a promotion frightens me a bit.

To me, TMNTFF was too stupid and flat, but as for the humor in the old show, to an extent i agree, there are alot of jokes in the show that make me laugh now, mostly from Raphael. That being said i think Raphael was the most horribly portrayed on the show, so i am torn as to how much i enjoy it. That personality is not Raph. It's just not him.

Writing on that show for Mike was ok, too dumb, yes, but it had a core to his character that was true to the true Mikey. Same with Leo.

I think Don could have been written better in the old toon. I prefer a grounded Donnie, with a sharp, smart sense of humor, and an interest in technology, rather than him be some impossible super-genius.

i often wonder how much better the old toon could have been if Raphael was Raphael, and Donatello was given the Sharp wit.

That's how the first Movie did it, and to me that's still the #1 incarnation of the TMNT
