Turtles Forever: a direct insult to the old 1987 cartoon?

[sdp]

Ironically they made all OT turtles act out like 2k3 Mikey, who was whiny and idiotic most of the time, not to mention annoying. I agree that TF was made to celebrate all things turtle related, I never expected it and I think someone confirmed that it was made out of Mirages wallet for the anniversary. They went through great lengths to find the original concept art and hyped it up only to slap fans of the original show in the face with their portrayal, of them. The explanation of "their turtles from a wackier universe in the turtleverse not the OT" fails since the fact that its the original turtles that makes the crossover cool. I have to think if it was Peter who suggested all those things to make fun of them and the crew just went along with him. I always imagined OT Leonardo throwing a pizza and then attacking the foot with the 2k3 turtles, instead we saw OT Leo throwing a pizza only to keep making jokes be captured and then be saved by the 2k3 turtles. I've always been surprised by the lack of anger in this forum about this and yet this fandom complains about such petty things instead.

Anyway, how will the 2k3 turtles be remembered in 10 years? Probably not very well, even though the show lasted for so long and having lots of toys and videogames being on the Fox Box and then 4Kids TV hurt it a lot. Not many people are even aware that it exists, and many retrospectives "by geeks" skip the 2k3 show in their research or just make a quick note. We've seen the OT turtles in the Nick show and we might see them again. I bet you the 2k3 turtles won't get that chance in the show. Nick only bought the rights to the show because it came with the deal and they're glad no other channel can air the show now. We'll need a company like shout who is interested in releasing the show for it to ever get a DVD release since Nick won't give it one. Truly a shame since 2k3 is IMO the BTAS of the turtles franchise because of Laird being in charge and I don't see us getting another animated show like it.
