For me this Mikey is just kinda sweet and innocent. Naive, not stupid.

^agreed

I like this mikey so far. He keeps the show fun. If you go to nick.com and read their comments alot of the kids favor Mikey!!!!

I don't know what old school fans you talk to, but the fact that for once they sound like teenagers is awesome. Plus the characters are written like teens. The voices from the 80s or 4kids wouldn't work here.

I think you need to stick to talking for your self and not others. Cause I know you don't speek for me.

Nononono, not 'oldschool fans', CASUALS.

Mikey is like Spongebob; naive and innocent. And learn to spell.

I continue to be in the minority with this show; not that that's bad, just interesting to me. I liked the show overall but I think all the voices are "off" and I honestly thought this Mikey was the dumbest interpretation yet. His voice also sounds the most "off" to me out of all 4. I like Mike in general but so far I'm not a fan of this version.

And off-Topic, but ADD/ADHD is a made-up "disease" the pharmaceutical industry came up with as a way to get kids hooked on pills the same way they invented "seasonal depression" to do the same with adults. My Dad worked in the pharmaceutical manufacturing biz (product safety technician) for almost 30 years, you'd be amazed how often they "invent" something that 8 or 9 out of 10 people have "symptoms" of, so they can market some "miracle pill". And you'd be sick to know how little they care about measuring the doses of these pills, as long as they ship. I've also had doctors admit to me they're "pressured" by parents and teachers to diagnose kids with ADD when in truth they're just hyper/drinking too much sugar and caffeine. That's what happened to my wife; when she was a kid, her mom insisted she had ADD and basically forced her doctor to put her on pills; years later her doctor admitted to us that she (and most of his other patients with ADD) was just drinking too much soda. She cut back on soda and quit taking pills, "problem" solved. Meanwhile the pills were giving her sleepless nights, depression, etc.

Sorry to go O/T, but knowing what I know I get annoyed whenever I see/hear people trying to legitimize a completely phony "disease". Mikey doesn't have ADD, like any kid his age he just needs an outlet for his aggression.

Please understand that that he does not represent the casuals. I'm a casual, good natured fan willing to learn about everything in my fandom.

Why do you have to bring that sh*t here? It's a discussion about cartoons, keep your conspiracy theories and wife's stupid problems out of it.

Besides, it was a throw away joke....

blackaerin · 10-01-2012, 10:02 PM

I like this Mikey, he's very endearing in his naivety and overall excitable ness, but I am worried how close he's toeing the line to being genuinely funny and being legitimately dumb.
I was talking the premier over with my friend who's much more critical about shows than I am, and unfortunately, Mikey didn't make her good graces, saying she didn't find him funny and was in fact annoyed how petty he was when the others didn't believe him about the Krang, to the point of giving away their position in an enemy lair just to rub in the fact that he was right.

**Jester** · 10-01-2012, 10:13 PM

That's not petty. If she wants petty show her Clash of the Turtle Titans from TMNT: Fast Forward. There Mikey is all bent out of shape because some future superhero stole his superhero identity....THAT is petty.

Yeah, but that's comparing this Mikey to previous Mikeys.
I know that this Mikey's an improvement to previous incarnations like 2k7 and latter season 2k3 Mikeys, but that's because I watched them.
She's not interested in the TMNT "universe", she's only seen the premier of this show, with no previous knowledge of any other Mikey.
