Your true unabashed thoughts on the state of all things TMNT

While I am more than overjoyed at the return of the TMNT, there are a few anomaly problems I have.

1) I am very offput by the decision to can the CGI film...I think this could have been the coolest thing in ages.

2) While Im glad there is an ongoing TMNT comic, is it me or does it look like its being made in 1985? Just imagine what TMNT the comic could look like if Dreamwave got ahold of it(the wonders they worked on the various Transformers series is astonishing)

3) Is it me or does the official TMNT site ninjaturtles.com seem stuck in a time warp? I checked out this site called MikeysTMNT.com that blows that site away. The official site seems stuck in a bit of a 1990 Archie phase.

4) The look of the cartoon. Hmmm, while I realize its not in the budget to go all out crisp and detailed anime styled(not the kiddy anime stuff, bu tlike Ghost in the Shell) ...still...and that intro to the new cartoon...I mean I know its all about recapturing the feel of the 80's, but they do to good of a job. It looks like it was made in 1988!

5) Finally, the toyline. Dont get me wrong...I cant wait to get my paws on these. The best toy line out there IMHO besides Palisades Muppet Show line. But still...its 2003 and they look more akin to the 1988 line.
Though...I will say that bus looks like the coolest TMNT vehicle ever!

So those are the only complaints I have. Generally speaking I am more than pleased overall with the new TMNT direction and stuff. Im glad this day and age finally allows for character that were originally black in the comic to be black again(darn history revisionism...) Im also glad its been a good 12 years since the strangulation and washout media blitz of the TMNT has passed. I think things are back on track now.
