Should I go back and re-watch the original series or...

I loved the rotoscoping style animation as used in the 80s He-Man and other Filmation shows, the problem is that Filmation only had about three movement animations for each character, budget-wise. But rotoscoped characters move much more smoothly and lifelike than in almost any other animation style. If they had more stock footage to use it would'a been better, but eh, whattya gonna do?

Writing-wise, though, 2k3 He-Man clearly wins. I thought both the newer He-Man and TMNT shows had better plots than the originals (generally speaking of course, the original He-Man and TMNT both had tons of gems), and still feel bad that neither got quite the attention I feel they deserved, not sure if too much time had passed since the originals or what.

I remember talking with friends my own age about TMNT back in 2003 and they'd all be like, "That was awesome, they should bring that back," and when I told them there was a new show out presently they'd always respond they weren't getting up before noon on a Saturday no matter how much they liked a cartoon when they were 8. People are stupid sometimes.
