Old cartoon bashing?

Some people actually refuse to acknowlege Mirage because the darker tone "ruins their image of the characters" that they've had since childhood.

Kinda sad in a way. Me, I accept all versions of TMNT as valid, I just have my preferences is all, and I prefer the new show over the old.

The fact why most people here prefer the New cartoon and most people you know don't, is due the fact that all people here are TMNT fans. Most people ourtside fandom don't even know who Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman are. I know people like those too. All they know is the old cartoon, a show they loved as a kid, and when they see more mature Mirage comics or New cartoon, like you said, they won't accept it. The people I know don't do anything TMNT related on their spare time, so they aren't TMNT fans. Just people who used to love a cartoon show. But there are people in the fandom too who prefer the original Show, and and still acknowlege Mirage.

Well Karpo, I actually like both the mirage comics and the old show, (if that is possible). The old show is a childhood memory that I will refuse to let fade away, and the comics keep me entertained nowadays.

*nods* Yes, and I especially like the Red Sky seasons. Especially the first one; that was genius (as far as cartoons go). I mean, Shredder blowing up Channel 6 was just like, "whoa".
