Still wrong with the word, Jester. It's "dissentient" or "dissenter" ;D however, I'm prolly being a grammar nazi so I'll knock it off.
Also, to Joe: The saying goes "To each his own". That's what's so awesome (and so frustrating) about the TMNT fanbase. TMNT fans run the gamut in all sorts of opinions of what they think a perfect turtle production includes. I attribute this to the fact that E&L, after they put out the first comics, allowed so many artists to do "guest" TMNT comics and counted it as part of cannon for the series. This means there isn't
really a "wrong" way to draw/portray the turtles. This is
also what makes the TMNT fandom so awesome, varied, and long-lasting though. It's a fact I wouldn't trade for all the pizza in the world!
It's so awesome that Nickelodeon is taking the incentive to dive into the fandom and do this event. I think that the fact that they are doing it so early in the creative process shows that they are open to input. That way if there's some glaring errors, they'll have time to fix those errors before presenting the finished product. Finally, it seems as though they want to get fan input before they finish production so they can change things if need be, and that can never be a bad thing
(Also I think they want to avoid the fiasco of fan-backlash that happened with their Box-Office bomb of M.Night Shamalan's Avatar The Last Airbender Movie)
