Why isn't Kevin as opposed to Fred Wolf characters like Peter is?

The way I feel is that Kevin seems more open minded with the Turtles. He is the co-creator but also sees it as something he create but not the only thing in his life. He has his Heavy Metal and he's happy with it.
Peter of the other hand still kept his responsibility for the Turtles and Mirage. He still works with the turtles crew and I've always felt that he takes the Turtles very personally which isn't a bad thing. Sometimes I would think if I'm the creator of Batman I would have really restricted him to stay a certain way, no campy TV shows, and no silly armors,etc. Just an example.

I don't think PL hates the Fred Wolf characters but rather just don't feel attached to them as his original creations. Sure you can get a physical appearance of Rocksteady and Bebop for the 4Kids show, they did dressed up Gen to look like Rocksteady and have a assassin to look like Bebop but at the end, it's a different show with a different direction. THere was no need to introduce either Rocksteady or Bebop in the new shop as Shredder's henchmen. The only really to do it would be to please the old toons fans. We all know what happens when you're adding elements to the story just to please the fan demand. (Spider-man3)

I respect both Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman for what they have accomplished, beyond that is just personal decisions from them that I as a fan have no control of.
