I am an original fan, from the black and white days. I was a fan till I guess around the time the 3rd movie was out.

I have to say all of this line is very exciting.

When you take a franchise too far away from the core of what made it great to begin with then you really lose something. This seems to be bringing the franchise back in line with what made it great in the first place, and I'll for sure be getting the main line small figs to go with my MU and GI Joe etc.

And SaitoNetwork; I have to say you seem pretty insane.

First off, you have to understand that when you make an internet post voicing an opinion, people can and will respond to it freely. You can't simply say people are "screwing with you" and demand which posts they do or do not participate in; toughen up. Sheesh.

Secondly, you really did come in here decrying the death of the line before the show is even ready to air. You claim that your insight provides forehand knowledge of the failure of this line, yet did you happen to notice you are the ONLY PERSON in this entire thread that doesn't think this looks like a good direction? 5 pages and you are the only negative person here.

Don't like the CGI? Fine. Don't like the art direction? Fine. Get a little perspective.

Your main issue seems to be that they are relaunching the story, you seem to expect that the story would continue from the 80s and now the Turtles would be adults, and that the show would also be for adults; the original fans.

Really? You REALLY think that would ever happen? A major relaunch of a massive property based around a cartoon and a toy line, and you want the companies involved to target it to people who are over 25? How many of those people do you think buy toys?

You demand people respect your opinion, but I can't, because it has no basis in reality. An opinion shouldn't be respected just because it's an opinion; you have to actually back it up. So far you've said you know the show is bad and is doomed when you haven't SEEN it or read a review, and that you expect the franchise to be a direct continuation based on adult turtles targeted at the original fans. I'm sure you can understand how one might not respect those opinions.

Were you also upset that the new Strawberry Shortcake wasn't a line of 25 year olds? Strawberry Shortcake, the reality show 2012.
