I'm not surprised you would bring up this off-topic logic yet again Galactus, but it's not like you haven't done it before and earlier, by giving yet again the same art imagery response for a character behavior/depiction issue.

Your point makes as much sense as hyperfocusing on the props and visual backdrop of a stage play (the animation, references, and sound-a-likes in Turtles Forever) claiming that they all do the play "justice" (or the OT Turtles "justice" in this case), while ignoring the script, tone, and characterization of the stage play (how the OT Turtles behaved and how 70% of the movie's humor was based on the OT Turtles' incompetence/immaturity). But I guess that art imagery itself is primarily enough to keep you satisfied, so be it then...

It's not really off topic as it was being discussed already on this thread and it's worth bringing up again because no one has ever been able to counter my points. All I've ever gotten is deflection and animated gifs.

For me it really boiled down to intent. Obviously a lot of fans of the Fred Wolf turtles felt that the show deliberately mischaracterized the 87 characters in order to make them look bad and their own version look better but was really what they set out to do or just how some people felt?

I would argue given all the things I've argued (and I hope they don't need listing again) that the answer is no. Afterall why would they go to all that effort to recreate the 87 characters just to insult them?

That's before considering that the same effort wasn't even made on their own characters and that more than once the OT methods saved the day...or that a lot of the things the chracters said and did in the special were actually from the old show. That's one of tne reasons I'd argue it was a "wrong" intepretation just one that focused on aspects a lot of fans would prefer they avoided.

To be honest I don't see any difference between the portrayal of the turtles in Turtles Forever and in Wormquake that people initially raved about but maybe that worked better as a small scene than stretched out for a whole special.
