Change of writers?

Captain PunchYouHard · 08-10-2013, 11:44 PM

I was ****ing around on Tumblr earlier and noticed that two of the writers are leaving. I hope this doesn't turn out to be bad news, as I think the current writing is pretty darn good.

Well Kenny wrote:
– Enemy of My Enemy
– The Alien Agenda
– Mousers Attack!
– Never Say Xever

and Russ wrote:
– The Pulverizer
– Monkey Brains

So however you feel about those episodes...

Kenny was a good writer

You guys do realize Kenny is writing a lot of the Nick animated comics for IDW, right?

Captain PunchYouHard · 08-11-2013, 12:04 AM

Hum. None of those were particularly amazing, IMO. Who wrote "The Pulverizer Returns?" That was my favorite episode so far, by far.

Thanks! I should write him a fan letter - good writing is a beast to pull off.

I thought all of Kenny's episodes were great. He really wrote Karai, Baxter and Xever in particular well and fleshed out their characters more.

*snake* · 08-11-2013, 02:41 AM

Kenny's Karai stuff is good, the rest is meh.

*NinjaPug* · 08-11-2013, 08:16 AM

Kenny was great - by far my favorite writer of S1. I hate that he isn't working on the show anymore but at least he's working on the TMNT comic.

That is a shame. Enemy of My Enemy, Alien Agenda and Never Say Xever were in my top 5 of favorite episodes (Haven't watched the finale yet)

It seemed Kenny wrote the kind of episodes I personally liked a lot.

Irishmile · 08-11-2013, 08:55 AM

The Pulverizer was OK
Monkey Brains was pretty much a throwaway filler episode.

I liked pretty much most of what Kenny did.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-11-2013, 05:30 PM

I really liked all of those episodes and thought both writers did a good job. It's a shame that both are leaving, but at least Kenny is doing the Animated Adventures comic, so he's still got a job.

This is such depressing news, I loved all of Kenny's episodes, they better replace him with a good one

Ugh. I hope the show doesn't go downfall when these guys leave. So far this new incarnation as been a huge hit with everyone I've watched it with (7 year old nephew, 16 year old nephew, 21 year old girlfriend and 60 year old mother, haha). I've been shocked that a few different generations all seem to enjoy it.
