Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 9488, member: 73"] This is what (and I understand how pathetic this makes me sound as a grown man complaining about children's cartoons on the internet) really gave me pause about the new movie. In the original TMNT show (and the 2003 series to an extent), the turtles were barely teenagers at all – they drove cars, got jobs, unassumingly impersonated adult detectives, etc. Since the 2013 series, though, they've been aged down pretty significantly, and I think whether or not you like that is going to heavily influence your thoughts going into Mutant Mayhem. Personally, I prefer them (and April) being older because I like the original cartoons, but a whole generation has now grown up on them being kids in both TV and movies, so it's easy to see why they're still running with that direction. Of course, in the new movie, they act like modern TikTok-using zoomerinos, too, so if you find that annoying, you're not gonna be in the target demo. Luckily, us old people still have those new beat 'em ups, set specifically in the 1987 series and with tight-jumpsuit-wearing April, to enjoy! I – and I mean this completely sincerely – cannot tell who you're talking about with this comment. It could go either way. Oh, you are SO on the list. [/QUOTE]
