>New 30th anniversary TMNT cartoon premearing On Nickelodeon and nicktoons December 2017
Oh great, can't wait to see it bomb! Seriously, they essentially tried making a live action version of the 80's cartoon last year and it bombed, They tried to make a throwback episode of the current cartoon last year and nobody watched it, the fifth season of the current cartoon is on now and it's tanking. Why did anyone at Nick think this is a good idea?

>TMNT throwback will be an hour long TMNT cartoon. It will be based off the classic 80s cartoon with most of the original cast reprising their roles.
Again, they did this already and nobody cared, was it just too late to cancel the project?

>Except to see familiar faces as well.
What the hell does this mean? Of course we will, it's a throwback cartoon.

>>91812098
Those ratings aren't that bad, especially considering the air time it's been given.

Expecting it to be pulling primetime ratings on Sunday mornings is unrealistic.

These are the Korra ratings right before they dumped it online, it was on the same exact network.

>>91812286
But was it on the same air slot?

>>91811377

Source?

No Uncle Phil no sale.

>>91812303
No, the episodes he's pointing to in that screenshot aired on Friday nights. No idea what argument he's trying to make.

>>91812286
Korra didn't move toys. You can't just look at the ratings, you've got to be able to see the toy sales as well.

>>91811377
>It will be based off the classic 80s cartoon
So it'll be shit, then.

>>91811377
>30th anniversary
>2017
shouldn't it be 35th anniversary?

>>91812718
The original cartoon premiered in 1987.

>>91812718

33rd, actually.

>>91812286
Dat last episode rating tho.
And fanbois say LOK didn't tank.

>>91812614
This, to a point, you would also need to take into account that childrens shows generally fair much better in long term syndication, Korra was never going to have the episode count to make that viable, let alone the ability to move product.


With that said, I honestly believe the current incarnation of the cartoon is on its way out of production, and they are just dumping the remaining episodes out to get a last set of toys out, though the show will be on reruns for years to come due to the high episode count

Then the 2003 Turtles got BTFO by the Mirage Turtles.

I don't get the butthurt about it. Everyone took digs at each other, but it was in good fun.

god dammit, that means it probably sucks
but i'll give it a shot.

2003>2012> 1987 = Next Mutation

In terms of quality, and ability to rewatch?

I never gave 2012 much of a thought since the start of the 2nd season.

2003 has some bad seasons, but overall hit the right arcs.

I get that the 87 cartoon is just a nostalgia boner for some people, but that show wasn't good, great toys, but it never tried to evolve until it's last couple of seasons with the red sky which was trying to cash in on shows becoming darker at the time.

>>91812098
Maybe it wouldn't tank if it didn't go on random hiatuses for months on end. IT's like what CN did to Young Justice, x2. The next episodes of 2012 are TBA and it supposed to end this year since TMNT "Assemble" is replacing it sometime next year.

>>91811377
>Except to see familiar faces as well.
Whoever the fuck you're allegedly quoting needs to work on their vocabulary. Expect =/= except.

>>91811377
So something actually respectable for the 80's show?

Because the last couple times the 80's turtles appeared in things it was largely making fun of how pathetic and childish they were.

Probably because it kept going on hiatus. That'll fuck the ratings a bit

Utrom, Krang is just some bullshit some exec came up with.

No, she's an actual character.

Insecure 80's kids who have a problem accepting their childhood obsessions were made by cynical toy marketing agents who couldn't even be bothered with the post-production?

>>91816962

Still much more terrifying and and actual threat then then moron from the 80s show that's constantly bossed around by a whiny brain alien.

I do admit 2003's theme was shit compared to 1987, but then again they were to go with their show's specific feel.

nigga relax yourself, It's a thirty year old cartoon

>>91817120
I really never got what Krang was getting out of having Shredder around anyway. But that's one of the many things they never cared to explore because kid's show.

>>91817545
I'll relax when the nostalgiafags quit trying to ram a decades old piece of shit down my throat every time they have the chance.

>>91817545

Yet it, along with other shitty old cartoons like Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man, and 1987 TMNT are worshipped as animated masterpieces.

>>91816644
I don't think I've ever seen one like that. The usual ones are just them having the wrong letter or single color. Maybe their heads were different animation cels.

The nostagia people just cannot take a step back and realize, if you do not care about the toys or saw the shows when you were 7, then there really is nothing to like about those shows.

I tried watching the 80's Transformers and Masters of the Universe, they are just not for anyone older than 10 at best. They are simple shows for kids. Nothing to cling to for anyone else.

I liked it.

>>91818285

The voice-acting, the character-designs, the music. Sometimes the story just aimed to sell toys, sometimes they aimed higher.

Ninja Turtles is genuinely funny, Krang and Shredder taught a generation How To Sarcasm. Masters of the Universe taught a moral lesson every episode. Real Ghostbusters veered between comedy and genuine scares. Transformers and GI Joe packed more action and violence into a single episode than most modern cartoons can dream of in their entire run.

Not saying the later cartoons weren't good, but the 1980s shows have the fanbases they do for reasons beyond simple nostalgia.

Masters of the Universe is deliberately campy and even back in the 80's that's what they were going for with the cartoon as stated in interviews and commentary. None if it was meant to be taken very serious and it was aimed at very little kids.

Ttansformers is comfy as fuck though

I disagree. I thought 2003 April was super cute and was probably my favorite take on the character when it comes to the cartoons. I like how they took her origins as an intern for Stockman and made her kind of an Oracle type character. Plus dat midriff and early 2000s fashion. 2003 had my favorite Casey Jones too.

To be fair, I get where he's coming from. Lots of people idealize the 80's cartoon when the reality is that 95% of it was absolute dreck. It's like when a Transformers fan meets a casual fan that swears by G1, or a 30 year old that insists that Power Rangers peaked with Mighty Morphin. Not only is it ignorant, it's flat-out wrong.
