Do you think the Nick series is using too many Fred Wolf elements?

Would you have complained if they were also taking elements from the 4kids series and comics?

Because... they did!

We have the Purple Dragons, Foot Clan, Karai, the entire TCRI/Trans-dimesional portal stuff and Kraang/Utrom Droids all coming straight from 4kids, which in turn came from the comics.

On top of that, there were so many characters in Nick that resemble closer to their 4kids counterpart than Fred Wolf's, such as:

- Raphael (being a hot head, hates bugs)
- Casey Jones (younger but still...)
- Baxter Stockman & Mousers
- Leatherhead (origin and look)
- Shredder (being a serious threat)

Also the upcoming Leo one-shot/North Hampton arc is going to be an obvious nod to the 4kids/comics version. And I'm sure it will be followed by the Return to New York arc after that.

By the time the Triceratons and possibly Fugitoid, Usagi, Foot Elite etc. appear, I guess people will start complaining that Nick is taking too many elements from 4kids

I personally think it's completely ok for Ciro to reimagine characters, story arcs and other elements from ANY past series or media as long as it makes sense and adds value to the Nick show. Nick owns the entire franchise anyway and would do what it needs to do to make it better. The combination of new and old elements so far has been awesome!
