But since you're obviously in the know, I'm amazed.

Listen buddy boy I grew up at the time when both Nickelodeon and TMNT were at there greatest and since then I've seen TMNT ruined by turning the Shredder into a brain alien and for them not using more classic characters in 2k3. And Nickelodeon has not been the same since the days of Kenan and Kel, Salute your shorts All that and the Angry Beavers, All it does now is milk Spongebob and those crappy teen shows. If you are asking me to serously downgrading a chance then sir I simply decline

[Powder]

I'm not your buddy, pal. What you consider to be Nick/TMNT's "greatest" time, is subjective. That's your OPINION. TMNT was not RUINED because they didn't do things YOUR WAY, that just makes you a brat. And I don't even know what "serously downgrading a chance" means.

Powder, you should know by now that this is the premiere hangout for in-the-knowers. How are you so surprised?

I haven't seen it, but I've heard the New Thundercats show is a 30 minute toy commercial.

Huh, last time I checked, there were some pretty well-known actors (live-action and animation) attached to this show.

genius storyboard and the greatest animation since Avatar the last airbender.

Subjective, and who praises a show for it's storyboards?

They don't have to respect sh*t. People like you who just want everything to respect what came before it are why there are almost no original ideas in Television, Movies, Comics, etc.

and it's using the worst cgi since fanboy and chum chum

Oh, you've seen the show?

I agree that they r milking the crap out of spongebob. Hell I wouldnt be surprised if it last as long as the simpson's

AND r u sure about Nick going down hill????? Bc Avatar the last airbender was one of the best shows they ever had IMO

Other show that I liked that were on Nick the last decade
Drake and Josh
Icarly
Danny Phantom
Penguins of Madagascar
Tuff Puppy
Fairly Odd Parents

I thought these were all quality shows, but I think Nick comes a little short on there action shows.

Cartoon Network on the otherhand kind of went to **** from like 07-09
But the seem to be back on track, they really stepped up there game

Fanboy and Chum Chum have some very well made CGI models, and with it's style very reminiscent of the simplistic drawn cartoons like Fairly odd, Dexter, Power Puff.

It shows that in the hands of talented people any art style can be translated into CG.

[TheCollector]

Y'know, it's not the best designs, but the cg looks fine to me, not crappy at all, pretty good for a tv show if you ask me, you can't really expect the cg to be up to movie standards.

Sure it would of been better if it was 2D, but what ya gonna do, it's not what they went with.

Overall I like the designs well enough, bit of weirdness here and there, bit to childish looking, but otherwise fine.

And I gotta say, saying the animation style means it'll be a **** show is pretty short sighted, the writing is what matters, for all you know it could be the best TMNT show yet.

[BubblyShell22]

Since we've only seen pictures and not full blown animation itself, there's no clear way to tell how this will turn out. Like The Collector said, it's the writing itself that makes or breaks a show. Yes, animation is part of it, but it's also the story and plot that make a show either good or bad. We just have to wait and see.

Plus, all of the ideas presented at the fan event were just basic ideas. Fans told the people what they liked and didn't like. It'll just be a matter of where they go with the show itself. We can have our opinions on certain ideas, but until we see the finished product, we can't really judge whether a show is going to be good or bad until we've actually seen it.

[TurtleTitan97]

This happens ever time someone makes a show based on something. The same happen when the Green Lantern: TAS was coming out and everone was complaining about the CGI and saying it was going to fail. As soon as it came out some of the people who hated it now liked it. If the first episode of this series is a success, then this will quickly pass too.

[tmnt transformer]

Nice..................I will be more interested when the toys pics come out.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm mixed on the new pics, the designs are a little wonky but way better looking than the last time I saw some. I can totally hear Paulsen and Cipes just LOOKING at Donnie and Mikey, which speaks volumes on that at least.

if you still haven't seen it yet than you should definitely check it out on On Demand or youtube. i totally disagree with the 30 minute commercial statement. Personally i think the writing is some of the best currently on the tube today

yes Avatar was great and that is one of the reasons that i believe the new tmnt series can also be great.

[Donnie]

I know this isn't really an issue for many people, but the different colored eyes bugs the sh*t out of me. Will Mikey always be stereotyped with blue eyes because of the lame 2007 film? It looks like it. Giving Raph green eyes is no better, and why should Leo have blue eyes too? Donnie lucked out. It worked so much better with all 4 Turtles having brown eyes. The colored bandanas are enough, now they all need different colored eyes, too? Geez.

[Powder]

If anything they may have done that to help differentiate the toys a bit better, seeing how they always have the same molds...
I dunno, just a thought. They don't bug me. The blue eyes on Mike I don't care for much either though.

Will Mikey always be stereotyped as the ''Orange one'' or the ''Party Dude''? Maybe now you can relate a little to us that were bummed out about the bandana change.

Sadly, the OT "casuals" will always see Mikey as the "Party Dude". But to answer your statement, oh totally. Actually it's kind of funny - my first thread I ever made on the 'Drome was me ranting about my hatred of making Mikey's eyes blue in the 2007 film. Almost everyone shat all over me saying it wasn't a big deal and if that was the only thing to point out about the 2k7 then I didn't realize the bigger flaws with it, it's not a big deal as long as the character is intact, etc. Which is all nonsense really - aside from the whole "clan" aspect, having a problem with eye color change for the sake of it (blue eyes are more innocent my butt, I know plenty of cold-hearted, not innocent at all blue eyed people) is no different than having a problem with a bandana change. And darnit, I don't like the eye color change! So yeah, I feel your pain.

Everyone just needs to stop fighting and wait for the show to air or at the very least until we get to see some teaser footage or something. Sure I have my own concerns with the show (Donnie's gap and the toe thing) but those are minor issues and wont hurt the show as a whole. I'm hoping they take don't make it "overly kid-friendly" by turning our beloved turtles into an action version of Sponge Bob.

But all we can do is wait it out and see what we end up with, and just be glad that TV hasn't forgotten Turtle fans. All the arguing is pointless!

Dude...one, who's arguing? Two, do you expect people to just not say anything/voice opinions and just wait until we see a trailer? What would be the purpose of that?

Just trying to stop a flame war before it happens.

And no, I'm not saying that we shouldn't voice our opinions but we shouldn't say that we flat out hate the way the series is going before we see more than just a few pics of the Turtles. The show is still in its early stages and I don't want them to think we hate the show so much that they scrap its production.
