I don't know if you have noticed, but just about EVERY version of TMNT had controversial changes.

Mirage fans hated the 1987 cartoon for being lighthearted and goofy.

Many fans despise Next Mutation for adding the female turtle Venus, who actually has a sizable fan base in spite of being such a hated character.

1987 fans hated the 2003 show for being darker and more faithful to the Mirage comics, plus many of the people who DID like the 2003 cartoon hated how the Shredder turned out to be an Utrom and many are antagonistic to the Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer seasons and, at the somewhat lesser extent, the animated film Turtles Forever.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is used to controversial changes, so I fail to see how Karai mutating will be such a big deal. Besides, there's always the chance that her mutation is only temporary! My dislike for the 2003 series has nothing to do with me liking the classic. It's because I hate 4Kids. Not just for this show. I mean in general. Yet I still love Turtles Forever. In fact, it's my 13th favorite movie of all time! I will admit I already know it's better than Bay's upcoming s$^#tfest movie. Thats the equivalent of me saying I hate the new show because it's on nick. It's clear you haven't givin it a fair shot. I know they say a few apples spoil the bunch, but discrediting an entire series simply because of the network on which it aired doesn't seem right. I watched the '87 series as a kid so I was a bit wary when I watched the 2003 series for the first time. It was drastically different from what I remembered of the 1987 series, but in a good way. I actually love that version about as much as the original series. I'm also loving the new series because it has the nostalgia of the original and the action of the 2003 version. Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith. You may be pleasantly surprised.
