No offense, but there wasn't a point to the OT crossover either. You could omit it, and nothing important would change.

Anyway, After the 80's crossover I am cool with a 2003 crossover as well!

I didn't like it either, I hated the whole movie from start to finish. But I agree with the 2k3 crossover- why not give those fans their due?

The point, which I already made perfectly clear in my post, was to draw attention to the series from more casual fans to boost ratings, besides the obvious "paying homage" nature of it. Whether or not the series canon benefited from it is another thing entirely. I take no offense, I am not a Fred Wolf fanboy.

At the time Turtles Forever was made they crossover with the two biggest universes at the time (Original Cartoon and Mirage), with 2k3. That was the point, the 3 biggest universes together. The movies and Archie got references.

Back then neither IDW nor Nick existed, so Turtles Forever was the 25 years of history up to that point. There were only two TMNT cartoons at that time, what did you expect?

Rob is part of the cast...it would be a missed opportunity NOT to.

I know fans for various properties go nuts for crossovers, but personally I don't get it. If they do it it would be serving the fans rather than serving the plot. It might be fun but I'd rather Nick just occupied its own universe and did it with quality, rather than encroaching on others and piggy-backing off gimmicks like crossovers.

Turtles Forever was a bit special though. It has meaning for what it represented - which was the transition of one TMNT era to another. Nick has no need for that. The TMNT world is currently developing and expanding, not shrinking and ending as it was when Turtles Forever came out.

That would be pretty bizarre

Now hand me that hammer. 2k3 Don: This is a wrench.
