Things you didnt like about 2k3 tmnt

Dude, you're like an insane TMNT spokesman. If a random guy in the store says 'wow, those ninja turtles were really lame back then' you'd jump all over their **** and give a 3 hour rant on why that's not true. Trust me, the Turtles don't need you as an agent.

That's the fandom though. You have to remember the 2k3 series started back in 2003. Those of us who were watching it back then were 10 years younger than we are now, I was only in my mid-teens back then.

As a teenager I wanted to move away from kiddie stuff and to more action/violence/the usual that every teen gravitates toward.

Now that we are all 20 something year old adults, we don't feel the lust for violence and anger as when we were teenagers, so we accept fun light-hearted stuff again.

That's why the Nick show is received so well, because it came so "late" into our fandom that we're all old enough to appreciate it. If the 4kids series and Nick were reversed it might be different.

I like both series, but I feel like dissatisfaction is more censored on the Nick threads. And banned on the OT.

Nick is current and OT is retro. Those are the breaks.

After the Nick show ends you'll see people criticize it and recognize its flaws more. Already a big one is the sheer mass of generic mutant characters.

Again, this post was a waste of time. There's no need to explain it or defend it. It is what is it. There were OT hate threads, just like there's 2K3 and Nick ones. That's all the dude wanted to know. You didn't need to write a book.

Because when something new comes out, people logically gravitate to new things. Then after the hype dies down and they get nostalgic for the old stuff, the concept reverses.

Not just for TMNT, but for virtually anything out there in the entertainment medium.

People crapped all over the 1989 Batman movie when the Nolan films first came out too. And now people realized they were being idiots and the 1989 Batman film is still good.

I was wondering that myself. Maybe we'll see a few of the Nick TMNT once it's finished its run.

Dude, for the love of everything... he wasn't asking why. He was just saying if those threads existed. Stop making excuse after excuse for someone not liking YOUR show or having a different opinion other than YOURS. You do realize there are people out there that even after the 2K3 show ended still hated the OT right? Or now that the Nolan Trilogy ended, some still hate the Keaton movies, right?

[CyberCubed]

But I wasn't talking about those people.

They weren't talking to you either. They just simply asked if OT hate threads existed. The answer is yes. Nothing more was needed to be said.

[Cipher]

Its particular version of Michelangelo.

The need to end episodes on limp jokes.

Actually, nearly any time the series tries to inject humor.

Holy god the Ancient One.

Nearly the entirety of the fifth and seventh seasons.

Otherwise, though, this show still holds up very, very well.

You're hardcore obsessed with Cubed these days, what's the deal? It's creepy at this point. It honestly looks like you leap at any opportunity to reply to a post of his to try and drag him down. Just put him on ignore for God's sake.

Eh, I got nothing against the guy personally. When we agree we agree, when we don't, we don't. I guess we disagree more often nowadays. I guess it kinda irks me when he crams his thoughts into everybody's throats as if they were law, straight from Eastman and Laird themselves. He always has to randomly butt in the moment someone says anything remotely negative about the turtles, as if hf was their official spokesman.

It's like
'you know, last night's episode was kinda sucky'
'yeah, it coulda been kinda better'
'WELL ACTUALLY GUYS, IT'S CAUSE YOU'RE NOT SUPER HARDCORE FANS AND ARE BIASED AGAINST ANYTHING NOT RELATED TO THE 80'S TMNT, YOU FAIL TO SEE IT WAS THE BEST EPISODE EVER MADE.'

etc etc.

In this particular case someone asked if there were ever OT hate threads like now we have 2K3 hate threads. I stated there were. He felt the need to jump in and make a bunch of excuses why anyone would dare make an OT hate thread.

Ah yeap, he was a full-on ripoff of Yoda, including farting and Luke (aka Leonardo) fighting with imaginary villians. And he way annoying, I was also not the fan of retconning Yoshi's origin story.

[Vivi]

^ You guys are whack! I loved the ancient one. The fact he was so different to Leonardo and his expectations made it great fun to watch.

[Lisardo]

Didn't like pretty much all the same things people have already said (Mikey's annoyingness, bodybuilder turtles, Casey's dumb-downness, "The Leonardo Show", and Utrom-Shredder). I also wasn't a huge fan of the April/Casey relationship for some reason, even tho it semi-grew on me. Seemed too forced to me. The colors and backgrounds seemed too neon, or bright, or something. All I can think of right now.

[k_lala]

I dislike no blu ray release of this.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I would be happy just to see a DVD release of the entire series....

Ha....not happening.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Why is that, exactly? I've seen all sorts of reasons (read- speculation) on here, but has there been a definitive answer?
