I think the writers have been taking cues from the early seasons of Smallville. Just watch any episode where some lovesick maniac who's been exposed to Kryptonite goes around stalking Lana and you'll see what I mean.

I too never had a problem with 2003 Mikey and I for one think that people's dislike for the guy is just ridiculous. He's annoying yes and Fast Forward didn't do him any justice. However, I just think he wants to be different from his brothers and just wants to have fun. He's not allowed to go up to the surface where he would love to meet people. He wanted to be a superhero because he felt that he could do more good by breaking out of the shadows and saving them. He pretty much had to keep himself sane and try to make his brothers happy since they are restricted to staying in the sewers. He does tend to over do it but ultimately he just wants to have fun which makes him a breath of fresh air from the others.

For those of you who played the 2003 video game, never forget "EAT FEET!".

It doesn't matter where the writers took their cues. That doesn't make it acceptable.

Don't even get me started on Nick's Donnie, when he's not a creepy April stalker fan boy he's cool but you get kind of annoyed when he acts like that. I much prefer the 2003 series Donnie, even if he may have had a crush on April in this series like some are saying it wasn't noticeable, I mean I couldn't tell at least. Nick's Donnie's crush, it takes away from his character

Nick's Leo and Raph I don't really have a problem with though.

What crush? There was no freaking crush, people are just making stuff up....
Also instead spreading this Donnie April thing all over the forum just make a thread in the 2k12 section...

Anybody ever notice there is over a dozen Star wars references in Turtles in Space arc? Might be more but those are just the one's I caught.

I understand why some people find 2k3 Mikey annoying - personally he doesn't bother me. I always thought he was meant to be deliberately a bit annoying at times; that the relationship between him and Raph was meant to be that of the little brother who drives him crazy.

Technogeek29 · 05-27-2014, 06:45 AM

I would like to point out I do not hate 2k3 or 2k12 Mikey. He's my 2nd favorite so I judge how he is protrayed more harshly by comparrison to other versions. But while I don't hate them I can easily put them at the bottom of versions I prefer.

Same with Don who unfournately gets a very high standard bar for being my favorite (which is still the OT)

Its not just turtles in space with the triceratons. Its constantly throughout TMNT.
So many movie references, so many.

I hated the forced crush Donnie has on April in the Nick series, they force it like heck too

That's a major reason why I prefer 4Kids Donnie, he also showed his true character, this crush Nick Donnie has I feel takes away from his character

I was hoping his crush would have been done half way into the second season but nope still going

Will it be gone in the third season? I wonder if fans in the Nick forums like that? I know on Nick boards they love it

I also wonder if the writers will ever evolve Mikey's character on Nick? Like I said, my least favorite version of Mikey yet

I think we're going to be getting along very nicely.

I'm almost half way through season 3, have to say this series never gets old, each episode leaves me wanting more. I watched Hunted earlier and felt so sorry for Leatherhead when he was crying because he thought he killed Mikey. I just wanted to give the big guy a hug lol

*Netkeeper* · 06-01-2014, 05:01 PM

Hunted really took me by surprise. Didn't think I'd hear a character speaking about wanting to die on a children's show. Also, LH's opening narration for that episode is amazing.

Aaaand I'd just like to say that 2k3 has aged really well. It doesn't feel as distinctly 2000's as the other canons felt distinctly 80's or 90's.

Completely agree, it really is an ageless series.
I think it would hold up well 10-20 years from now.
I really struggle with the OT as its so dated.

What's so dated about it? The OT holds up surprisingly well for being over 25 years old. The only bad points are some of the animation errors.

*Powder* · 06-02-2014, 03:50 PM

The animation in general is pretty dated, dude. Kinda stiff & grainy. It's a great show and is still totally watchable but it's definitely a product of its era.

*Icebot* · 06-02-2014, 04:37 PM

I'm watching a marathon of the 2003 series right now. I just saw the Turtles In Space episodes. I feel sorry for the Fugitoid since he can't eat anymore. The way the Federation and Triceratons want to use his teleportal made me realize how teleporters are dangerous.

That's the only reason you feel bad for him?

Yeah, makes us kinda glad that "Portal Guns" don't exist, huh?
