Just because something has errors in it (again the errors in this episode are way overblown) or is sad doesn't mean it never happened. You think that the people who hated the finales of Lost and Dexter, two of the worst finales out there said "Oh I don't like it so it never existed" said that? No! They simply booed and moved on. That's being fair. And the TMNT fans who are acting like Easol1 are not being fair. It doesn't just have "some errors"; it has massive continuity errors. It contradicts what Renet has told the turtles about the future. In the episode "Turtles in Time" she tells the turtles that she is from the future (seriously, she says "I come from the future";  the 25th century is specifically mentioned at one point ), and that they become known as heroes who have saved the world "many times". This is not a world that becomes a post-apocalyptic wasteland. And this isn't Renet mixing the turtles up with some other set of turtles...Savanti Romero and Lord Simultaneous recognize them, too. These. Specific. Turtles. THAT is one reason why this arc only works as some form of an AU (an alternate reality vs dream/vision vs Raph's self-insert fanfic).

I have never watched Lost or Dexter, so I can't comment on those finales. Did the companies that own them say they weren't canon? Like Nick has done for Mutant Apocalypse? Just curious.

There is nothing wrong with the way Easol1 or any of the rest of us are acting. We are simply choosing to think for ourselves and politely (and very patiently) explaining why the arc does not fit into the canon timeline; and a number of fans (in one forum in particular) are throwing temper tantrums in response to that. It's getting quite ridiculous. I'm starting to suspect that, deep down, people realize we have a point and are simply misdirecting their anger at us.

Once again.....if you like the arc, that's your business. But, you don't get to decide how the rest of us feel or how we view the arc. And you don't get to tell us to ignore massive contradictions that prevent the arc from fitting into the canon timeline. I agree, especially on your last point: I didn't like this arc, but I also agree that this could have been a great story-arc, if it had been like any other episode and not like the final. Anyway, I hope to get a confirmation.
