This time, instead of focusing more on comedy until towards the end, the series focuses much more on drama from early on. The characters are more complex and interesting than in the original 1987 version. Out of all of the TV adaptations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this one is considered the most faithful to the original comics, and it's creator Peter Laird's favorite adaptation. This series incarnation of the Shredder, besides being by far the most evil and threatening, has a unique backstory and is a sociopathic alien named Ch'rell instead of an successor to the original or an immortal. Very appealing art style and character designs, especially that of Shredder. The made for TV animated movie released in 2009, titled Turtles Forever, was exciting because it featured a crossover between three different incarnations on the ninja turtles, the 2003 version, the 1987 version, and the version from the comics. The darkest incarnation in the franchise. It is the darkest 4Kids program ever made. But I overall had fun with Nickelodeon's first adaptation of one of the most popular comic books of all time that is neither Marvel nor DC and did a good job keeping me sated while I was getting hyped up for the then-upcoming 2014 reboot movie.Įxcellent animation with very great action and fight scenes. My only complaints are generally nitpicky stuff such as some of the quirks of the four brothers getting on my nerves from time to time. They deftly balanced "villain-of-the-week" episodes with ones that continue the story arc, the characters are brimming with personality and depth, the humour is spot-on and the action sequences are incredibly exciting, helped tremendously by the art style, resulting in one darn great-looking CGI TV show. Anyway, as a casual fan of the Ninja Turtles, this first season was an absolute blast. And I'm reviewing the latter in this case so.may another change in interface not cause serious confusion about why people are talking about two different adaptations. The link and poster are for the 2003 cartoon, which I've never seen, but the episode list clearly has the 2012 show on the brain. REVIEW: You know, this page has a serious identity crisis. In the case of why I decided to review this one? I dunno, must be my fondness of superheroes, even if they don't fully fit traditional terms. I have no intention of making this a normal thing. Some shows at least have a Tomatometer to provide a vague justification for why I went against my rule to review it. NOTE: This is the exception, not the norm to how I usually review TV shows.
