Do you think we will see the REAL OT turtles in the 2012 toon?

Kind of like how any media bringing up the Dick Sprang era of Batman is seemingly deriding it and not affectionately poking fun at its sillyness.

It baffles me that peope think 4Kids went to all the trouble of making the characters and their world so visualy correct right down the trash in the streets. The fact that they had to have watched so much of the old show to actualy work in obscure stuff for easter eggs and lines of dialogue, so again they went to all that effort simply insult it?

Forgetting that the OT's characters wackyness that kept saving the day why is it that people can't get that if anything it was at the humour a lot of times was at the expense of their own creation. Was the joke overdone? Somewhat but there's tons of examples to show why it's an accurate portrayal. Seriously it seems like Fred Wolf fans can't take any kind of knock to the show even a light hearted affectionate one.

As Coola Yagami said, with the original VAs there with Rob Paulsen, I'm pretty sure the OT Turtles will be fairly and more accurately represented in the Nick series. (In "Turtles Forever", no one from the original OT staff was consulted aside from the whole "labor union" issue.)

Yes because VA have that much creative input.

If 4Kids worked with SAG actors and they were in TF they would have just showed up and delivered their lines as written with a few ad libs thrown in. The whole thing would have been exactly the same.
