Am I supposed to know what that is?

The 2012 show just got a posthumous tie-in console release, as well as Playmates re-issues last year... with a premium NECA line on the way. What's your point?

Nostalgia sells.

FW had cheapo animation, big whoop, so did everything else not backed by Warner at the time. Doesn't mean the bar has to lowered twenty years later.

I think the 2012 show has great animation that still holds up 10+ years later and you can clearly tell the animators, art department, writers, etc. all put a lot of care into the final product.

I have a lot of love for the FW show, but you can't deny it was just hastily put together in almost every respect. Which in a way is part of its charm, I guess.

The only real difference between the 4Kids show and Fred Wolf is that the 4Kids people at least somewhat pretended to listen to Peter Laird's notes occasionally -- barely -- and Fred Wolf never did.

Fred Wolf got notes? What were they? Turtles good. Shredder bad. Figure out the rest.

I vaguely remember something about them trying to "right the ship" with Fred Wolf but it was always just them hitting a brick wall.

"How big do you want April's boobs to be?"
"Yes".

FW tmnt season 1 is overrated but the middle seasons are underrated.

You do you. This is the "overated" thread, so I don't see why you have to gatekeep and police my comment that TMNT 2012 is overrated. I didn't go after Anarchistguy who said FW was overrated

[ToTheNines]

I’m not gatekeeping. This is a discussion forum, so I’m discussing why you’re wrong lol.

I gave my opinion. You can disagree, but it doesn't convince me I'm wrong.

I consider TMNT 2012 overrated, per the subject of the thread, and that's all there is to it. I'm not interested in debating it.

First thing that comes to mind is Spider-man: No Way Home. I enjoyed it, but a real plot was basically replaced by fan service. And all the talk of the old Spider-Men returning for more movies seems like overkill. They had their time. Maguire is like 50 now and Spider-Man is never 50. Let’s move forward.

There was one short story in 2022 set in a future where Peter's still active as Spidey in his 60s.

I did some searching, but it was sdp. He got temp banned and the post was deleted, unfortunately.
