No reasonable parent is going to let their 5-10year old child watch a dark,gritty,realistic violence filled cartoon,and no TV channel would EVER air such a show in a slot where children could see it. I totally understand where you are coming from,and i DO think a dark gritty TMNT show would be awesome,but unless someone put together a Fansproject type show,i just dont personally see it ever happening.

Then I don't see how great of a source you would be in this conversation for an understanding of the fandom, if all you're here for is the toys.

Do you honestly think sarcasm will get you anywhere in this? All I see is your insecurity on the subject and your statements only give me doubts on your overall depth to this franchise.

You are making a LOT of absolutes, I happen to know this is not what the fans wanted and that includes myself as I am a fan. I didn't come here without an understanding, even the younger audience wants the action I am looking for.

So, would you be right in saying, that my parents weren't in their right minds when they allowed me to watch certain fun PG-13 films when I was nine or ten? There are people, even as adults, who can't handle certain subjects or movies with a PG-13 rating while others can; this also reflects to children. There are movies with a PG-13 rating that can be watched with or without adult supervision and it can be very appropriate with different people; sometimes a rating refers to violence and others reflect on to subjects that aren't even appropriate for a PG-13; it all depends on the movie and the intent behind it.

I just feel that this reboot is a massive step backwards; if 2k3 was appropriate and popular why are we taking twenty years in back steps?
