Modern interpretation of Fred Wolf Turtles

[D Piddy 1982]

Just to vent (a little)…2 things that annoy me with the modern interpretation of the FW Turtles.

1. The art. For some reason whoever is in charge of doing new art for packaging (i.e. NECA packaging or TMNT official social media posts) it’s just not right. The art looks like some sort of weird clip art. Just annoying to look at! The pinnacle of FW art is in the season 1-2 intro and the first 3 episodes. For me at least, that's how I picture them in my mind. The new stuff hurts my eyes.

2. The way the now traditional Turtle character traits get thrown into the FW Turtles – example FW Raph now always looks angry and is the “hot head” one. But in FW he was nothing like that. He was the sarcastic joker. It’s like taking the 2012 Turtles and throwing the FW characteristics at them for future marketing material – it just doesn’t fit.

That’s it. It’s petty, but that’s it. Good day to you sir.
