I liked the old toyline cause of the detail & stuff. The new like tends to follow the style of the cartoon which isn't bad, but doesn't have much detail.

In real life I always have to defend the new show cause everyone thinks its stupid, but here I always feel I have to back up the old show..

while i clearly don't see this thred lasting more than three days, I'll add my two cents:

Recently I have been doing a semester long paper on the old cartoon...and looking back at it all grown up made me realize a few things:

the old show has a tendancy to be cheesy...but you know what? So do the TMNT in general....that's one of the reasons we can watch....we laugh when they burb for like a minute straight...we get all tense when they fight shredder, we get "awe yeah" when raph makes a rude remark.... or all "what the heck?" when donnie says something smart....

those things have never changed. they never will change. The old show brought up the same feelings i have about the new one---good for the imagionation....great for the soul.

neither is better....just different times in which the turtles lived

(although....I would like to see a new episode go back in time and visit their classic selves!)

This one aint gonna last, agreed.

And I also have noticed that in "real life" I have to defend the new TMNT against people who think it's awful. These are always the types of people who only knew of the TMNT from the cartoon, never knew about the comics, and have no interest in seeing anything that might "tarnish" the memories of their childhood relics.

To me, if you're a TMNT fan, you're a TMNT fan, and you should be able to find worth in all the different ways that they're represented (well... maybe not Image... and TNM is a stretch too). To automatically blacklist the new show because "it's not the old show" is, to me, pointless and unfortunate. In MY OPINION, the new show is better in almost every way, but some people are just hung up on things like Bebop and Rocksteady and seem to think that any version of TMNT without them CAN'T be any good (despite the fact that the old cartoon goes about as much against what the "real" TMNT are as could possibly be imagined).

Again, just my opinion. I love what I've seen of the new show, and I think it's way better than the old in both story quality and animation, as well as having a more universal humor rather than jokes aimed at 6 year olds. But I can still watch the old show. I don't hate it or anything. To me, the new show just feels more like what the TMNT are supposed to be.

Glad I got to say it before this gets locked at least.

See, that's totally my point....
the old show is a classic....its still watchable, its still enjoyable....but its etched in time. It was great for its time.

We have a lot to thank it for, it started TURTLE MANIA... (did any of you know that playmates toys produced the show's 1st seasons)

Technically, its why most of us are here.

The new turtles show is for a new generation, one that has grown up with increasing special effects, and ever growing animation (we have the japanese to thank) its apart of growing up....things must change to survive....
but the classics never die.

PLUS THE OLD CARTOON GAVE US THE FAMOUS "DOES THE PHRASE....(you know the rest)"

You guys do a darn good job moderating yourselves. Looks like I'm not needed, LOL!!

Anyway, no one said you can't say which you like better. Tell us why you like the new toon, just don't spew crap about how the old toon sucks. We hate reading crap like that. Be objective.

And about being biased, the website is named "The Technodrome" after all, so yeah it's biased. So what.

Brinatello · 12-01-2003, 03:44 AM

As it's been stated before, it's hard to choose which one I like better because both series are entirely different. Yes, the new show does have awesome animation/graphics and such, but there is so much I enjoyed in the old show. It is in a way a pointless post when everyone says they liked both, not more or less but equally! We're TMNT fans which means anything TMNT-related would be viewed and liked. Um, to a degree.

Soooo, anyway, that's my take on it.

milweskee, threads like this aren't allowed because of immature people like you who mindlessly bash the old cartoon. This site is based on the old cartoon, so that's why there's a rule against bashing it (and it doesn't take much intelligence to tell that this is an old cartoon site with a name like "The Technodrome"

). I doubt you would like it if you set up a message board for a new cartoon site and old cartoon fans came in and started bashing it. So if you don't like the fact that you're not allowed to do your immature and pointless bashing here, leave.
