Maybe I should start calling it 1987itis or Fred Wolf malaise&mdash;an inability to move past the 1987 TV series' kitschier baggage. IDW doesn't really suffer from this, because it often draws from old ideas and reimagines them in a much better way, with genuinely good plot, writing and character development. But 2K12 has this bad, and a series that was once relatively new and different is becoming more and more shackled to 1987.

25 years from now, if TMNT fans are still demanding a return to the kitsch laid down by 1987 and increasingly by 2K12, then heaven help us all.
