"hey lets go to the lair and get our anti-technodrome gear"

ok so i just recently rewatched the "turtles forever" movie and i gotta say, whoever made it must have really hated the old 1987 toon with a passion. the way they are portrayed as complete bumbling idiots, and the stupid made up 80s toon song they play when they come out. i think they really took it too far the way they were portrayed, sure the old toon had its silly moments, but "turtles forever" makes it seem like they are acting like clowns 24/7 which is not the case, the real old toon turtles knew to be serious when it was time. this was pretty much a big slap in the face to the old toon. and also their voices were ridiculous. did Peter Laird write the script? cause i heard that he hated the old toon with a passion.

in any event, do you think that they exaggerated and went overboard in the portrayal of the old toon turtles being stupid silly and incompetent 24/7?
