The Dorkly article is fairly accurate. I mean really. Every version of the TMNT has been shit, and shat on the previous. ESPECIALLY the one we all watched as kids. The shitstorm on giving them color coded headbands vs all red..

Pretty Much Every Version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Ruined" the Franchise - Dorkly Article


Also the fan edit, highlights a big problem. They are nonsensical cartoons. you try to make them "real" and they just look like garbage. Its like Godzilla. They work better looking like a cartoon character, then an unholy monster from hell.
That article is stupid bullshit. For #1, the 2003 series was better than the original cartoon, so there is no ruination there. And the obvious #2 the first cartoon series made the ninja turtles, how fucking stupid do you have to be to claim it ruined them?

i think they mean ruination when compared to the comic book, not the other shitty movies and cartoons

No, I know what they mean. It doesn't make any sense. The comic was a low print-run indie comic. The cartoon made it a national phenomenon, there was nothing to ruin. TMNT didn't exist in the public consciousness until the cartoon.

The cartoon made it a national phenomenon,
That is not actually true, although for different reasons.

The nation knew about the TMNT comic because it was profiled on a lot of news shows as an example of why comics were becoming to violent.
It even appeared in Playboy.

Much like DND gained allot of traction from it's bad press.

Was it as big as the movies, and TV series? not even close, but people did know about them before that.

Supertouch: the one dude on the internet fighting for the new turtle look.


Jesus christ dude.
I hate that I'm defending something associated with Michael Bay, but some of the criticisms are silly. The issue has less to do with lips and more to do with expressions and motion capture in general. The turtles look pretty cool based on that poster, so I'm going to reserve judgment until I actually see the movie.

I hear there is a pretty passionate kiss between Megan Fox and Leonardo, which is why they have lips.

Didn't Michelangelo's Nun-chucks get changed to a grappling hook in the last season of the cartoon or something?

Actually he only used the nunchuck for one season, and he had the grappling hook for NINE seasons. But people always remember the nunchucks anyway.
