^ Truth, but maybe they became more serious when Pete and Kev realized they stumbled upon them being more than a one-shot.

Honestly... something balanced between OT and NT wouldn't bother me too much as long as the character personalities are what they should be. And no comedic centralization no certain characters, etc. Four characters who all play a major part in the-plot-to-be.

Now the question is- what will Splinter's origin story be?

[Venom]

Some say he was once a man named Hamato Yoshi, others claim he was merely the pet rat of Yoshi; both are true, yet neither are false.

[Candy Kappa]

as for Splinters Origin, I prefer the comic origin story.
having the OT ooze can crowd up the show with mutants too easily

Are you certain?

Well, the fact they're buying it to target boys, and most boys cartoons these days are at least a little more serious than the majority of the Fred Wolf matieral was, certainly lends to his theory.

That's true, especially if Nick wants to target top toy licenses such as Star Wars.
