Ot/ modern toon crossover

[CyberCubed]

Turtles Forever was great.

This can't be worse than turtles forever.

Seeing less and less people's opinion on crossover and more of why I like or hate Turtles Forever.

That aside I am actually looking forward to this crossover it seems like fun little thing.

[Refractive Reflections]

Do we know specifically which season 4 episode it will be this time... or there hasn't been information on it yet?

[Powder]

Episode 13, I believe. Seems two part mid-season extravaganzas are the thing now. I dig.

Good riddance to 2k3, they deserve no more screen time. The Bishop cameo in Annihilation Earth is more than enough acknowledgement as it is, now let's just forget them forever(pun intended). God is fair and just, 2k3 deserves it.

2k12 took inspirations and regarded OT highly, they have my respect.

The fact that you hate 2k3 and yet love the 2014 movie just baffles me.

Do you actually think the Fred Wolf cartoon is good? Beyond nostalgia I mean.

Speaking as someone who don't have any nostalgia for it, it's like The Room or Plan 9. It's not something you watch for it's merits, it's something you watch to make fun of it's flaws.

Interesting link! I hadn't heard an of that before, but it makes a lot of sense. Hence, why we have the "Magnificent Seven" as opposed to the "Elite 8." But when I think of multiple Turtle teams, I only think of all the characters in terms of duality. Basically, you have four characters being interpreted in two slightly different ways. So it's not hard for my brain to process multiverse as being only four characters, or... in a more symbolic sense... two characters, since I sometimes view the entire TMNT team as one complete character.

That's why they live in a black and white world, and narrate and monologue to themselves like crazy people!

One of my favorite episodes from Teen Titans Go!

Turtles Forever depiction of the OT is an insult, the special got more wrong than right. The Nick show already showed more respect in their 1 minute appearance in Wormquake so I think they´ll do a great job. OT turtles are silly but not cowards nor stupid. Panda Khan makes a good analogy, if the 2k3 Turtles showed up in the Nick show being super gritty and dark who can´t laugh at a joke it would also be an insult to that show. I understand having a contrast and maybe exagerating a few characteristics but they went overboard.

I don´t get the hate for 2k3 though, it´s an amazing show and I hope they get some kind of cameo in the special. I understand why they´re not in the special, this is a crossover with the OT not a Turtle crossover movie but I definitely want a nod to the awesome 2k3 show and if they appear in the special then even better but it´s not necessary. Let´s hope crossovers become a tradition in every future cartoon. I remember being pissed since I thought Wormquake would be a full crossover and it was only a 1 minute scene, I felt I had been tricked by the early reports but I guess we´re finally getting it!

Turtles Forever was a lot of fun with great moments, but having the real original voices here almost makes this a better crossover by default.

I personally would have liked it if they weren't quite as heavy on emphasizing the silliness of the old show, though I do think some people had their nostalgia glasses on and forgot just how silly it was at times.

Which was a feature, not a bug.

This is all nonsense. Turtles Forever was a fantastic movie that acted as a series finale to the 2k3 series and gave us a great crossover. Aside from the crying scene which should have been axed, everything else was fine.

Never liked Turtles forever or the 2003 series in general.

[Icebot]

As a huge OT fan, I can't wait to see this!

So you don't like good writing? It wasn't just a good TMNT show, it was one of the best action-cartoons of the 2000's in general.

[Editor's Note Comics]

Oh that preview looks fantastic. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun

[sdp]

That animatic shows they're already respecting the OT turtles unlike TF. Anywho anyone remember the Turtles Forever tidbit that was revealed in the 4kids blog? It started with "I'm a reporter, april o neil" or whatever, that got me so hyped for TF, I'd love to hear it again, anyone have it?
