Sick Of All These Useless Mutants/Characters

The bolded part is when I started feeling a dissatisfaction with it. I didn't mind the small homages (in fact I loved them) but there is a point where there is such thing as overkill. I think the producers actually made a big mistake in including a direct OT cameo in Wormquake, because at that point it looked like they were almost saying that at this point they lost confidence in the show. The 'overkill' bit is dead on, because now they aren't even trying to be creative.

With this I 1000% agree. It's why I am protesting so much of the OT inclusions now, because they're killing this show's creativity.

I didn't know there were people doing all of that stuff to get Band R included, wow! There is one point of asking nicely, and there is another when folks start acting like turds about it. I admit I like B and R here, but mainly it's because they aren't the B and R of the OT. They never wanted to become mutants, they feel like they will backstab Shredder at some point, and they hopefully won't be stupid. The only bad thing is they will probably overshadow Xever and Bradford fora time, but I'm hoping that this leads to a rivalry and something interesting.

Same here. I do like the show overall, and I can't wait to see where it goes. I think I just wish they'd start pulling form other sources (or come up with their own ideas) more often.

I don't know how I feel about canon immigrants in general but this show does it to the point where it's pandering. I admit I was happy to see Hun announced for this series just so the 2k3 can get SOME exposure but when Ciro said the words "we had to please the 2k3 fans somehow", it felt like a huge slap in the face to me since I love that series so much. But I wouldn't want the show to pander to that series either.

The thing about this show is that I feel that it tries to be a bit like the OT without actually being anything like the OT. When it does it's own thing, it works fine for the most part. But to me there's more to the Ninja Turtles franchise than just mutants and nostalgia. If they want to add mutants that's great but don't rely primarily on just those type of aspects of this show. And as far as nostalgia goes, this is suppose to be a new iteration for the new generation, not the old.

I know I sound like a hypocrite when I say this but I get super excited when ever they add an aspect of the Mirage comics into the show but this is also because I would love for this property to be realized as a comic book IP and not a cartoon.

More or less this... And hey been while? Happy to announce I'm officially apart of the United States Navy.
