I suppose if I can put up with Donatello having an overbite, I might as well deal with Casey Jones wearing a black bandanna around his head.

And just because he starts off as a violent jerk at first doesn't mean he'll stay a violent jerk. He might go through character development that will make him more sympathetic and likable like in the 2003 series. Well, maybe Nick just wanted to make the show original; it could be dangerous to roam too close to the older plots and characters, because then the whole show could just turn into a redo of the old series. And where's the fun in that? They are making necessary creative licenses, but they can't stray too far from what has been done in the previous versions. Do I really have to bring up the movie alien fiasco? dude the alien thing was a ploy too get people riled up about the movie too get them talking, they were never gonna go with the whole aliens thing it was a decoy. its a marketing tactic. and a pretty good one after all it did work it did get people talking. You know,i was not angry with the alien idea. yea me too, i actually wanted too see how it would look like, but no aliens.

All of you are missing the point. I'm saying that the TMNT shouldn't have too much of the established status quo changed.

I am okay with Donnie having an overbite, April and Casey being teens, and Leo being a fan of a Star Trek pastiche.

I'm saying that I would get mad if April got with Donnie instead of Casey. I know the alien thing was false, but I was using it as an example to make a point.

Before the alien thing was revealed to be phony, a LOT of TMNT fans were pissed off. I am glad the new movie Turtles are not aliens. I'd much prefer them to be Turtles who get mutated by ooze after falling into the sewers. The name is Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles, not Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles.

I am glad Nickelodeon Splinter was a mutated Hamato Yoshi like in the first cartoon, but I would have watched this new show even if they stayed true to Splinter's origin as Yoshi's pet rat that they used in the Mirage comics, the 2003 show, and the live-action media.

My point was that the Turtles shouldn't go through too many changes. How would you react if they made it so the Turtles were human before they mutated? I wouldn't mind, but I am a strict believer in tradition!
