Aspects of the Fred Wolf cartoon you wouldn't mind vanished for good?

As much as the first cartoon became a major goofy camp fest, it still has merit.
I'd respectfully leave it alone. Just as I wouldn't change the classic Mirage comics that I love so much.

It's not about changing the past, it's what elements from this series would you prefer not be revisited in future versions.

All of it. Every shred. Put it all in a barrel full of gasoline.

The only thing I want to see in every incarnation is the colored bandanas, nobody wants 4 raphaels. I'm glad the mirage comics are black and white because I can just color the bandanas on the panels.

I do agree that after the 4kids era where all the old characters were forbidden from being used again it was refreshing to see them again with new takes in IDW and Nick, but I do agree going forward they don't need to do this again. Between the 2012 cartoon and IDW, I feel like I got my fill at new incarnations of the old mutants and villain characters.

Then again going completely off-brand like Rise isn't ideal either, so I guess a middle ground of sorts is needed.

Speak for yourself peasant. I despise the color coding BS. Go all red or just stop producing garbage. They were meant to wear red as a team.

This. They aren't supposed to be making rainbow fashion statements about their individuality. They're supposed to be training everyday, busting their asses so that they can be more efficient killing machines to one day successfully kill a guy.

Do they have some off time? Sure. But it's not going to be filled with them sitting around mulling over what color of the rainbow they most connect to with each other. The rainbow bandannas thing was a dumb cartoon thing done to sell toys 30 years ago to (they thought) dumb kids and it's still that today. Period. Pretending that it isn't that is just that -- pretending.

Wasn't there a version that they stated that each color what supposed to represent something specific to each turtle? Or did I imagine that?
