'''I just wish more people recognized that, to be honest. I'm amazed by how many still care what Nieli thinks, after he openly tried to torch the series for the reasons he did (just so other people wouldn't touch "his" toys) without regard for the fans or the work itself. Like, doesn't that action bother you? Are you really going to act like he saved your puppy from drowning?'''

It's amazing. It's almost like blind worship; scary in a way. It's disturbing to see how many people lack critical thinking skills, and indeed seem incapable of thinking for themselves. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate what Ciro did for the vast majority of this series. This is one of my favorite TMNT incarnations (competing with the 2003 series and the 90s live action movie). But, I am not going to blindly salivate over everything he does. Dropping a turd, polishing it up, and attempting to pass it off as canon does not make it canon or even a good story. Mutant Apocalypse had beautiful animation and excellent voice acting (wasted in my opinion), but the story falls apart due to the massive continuity errors (and to be honest, the story is not that great to begin with;  a few good moments aren't remotely enough to salvage it).

'''And many others just sort of accept it despite the inconsistencies. It's depressing?'''

It's depressing in a way. But, really, this whole situation has been very educational and fantastic practice in thinking for oneself and continuing to speak up even when everybody else is telling me to shut up and accept something that does not make sense. I no longer care if it annoys people. I will not be silent, and I will continue to speak up. In this era, that is a very important lesson indeed. [In fact, if I have time for a study break this weekend, I think I should go bash my head against the wall at a certain forum a little more ;) ]

AngelBridge,  You're welcome. Continue to think for yourself. And don't let anybody tell you otherwise :)
