What's wrong with the Nick Technodrome™? - Page 3

I just watched the two parter with my daughter and it was pretty cool... like a short film version of a TMNT motion picture (if it were projected through the lens of a Fred Wolf admirer, but whatever). I've seen a lot of comments from folks not being down with the new Technodrome design... and I'm not sure why that would be. It's circular, it's got that stupid eye (now more of an Eye of Sauron that's functional rather than something silly and superfluous on top), and it's actually functional and a legitimate threat (on a global scale, even) on the whole as opposed to the Fred Wolf... thing. Seems to be directly inspired by the Turtles Forever upgraded Technodrome and I feel that was an excellent starting point as that was the first and only time the Technodrome was ever even remotely intimidating.

I get that people want the giant tank with treads for the simple reason that that's what the Fred Wolf Technodrome had and it would rekindle people's childhoods blah blah before we all grew pubes and started to have to pay taxes and all that, but... really?

It can levitate! Over everything! And hit multiple targets with its multiple lasers from the high ground advantage. Why would it being ground-based make it better in any way, shape or form beyond folks' nostalgia for the damn toy or old cartoon?
