the 2003 series was really an adaptation of the original mirage comics turtles which was gritty and violent they had there own storylines and stuff too but alot of the episodes wre based of a few of the original issues. and this new show is more light hearted although they have shown that they can go gritty with the episdoe slash and destroy. but they cant have the turtles all beat up and bruised all the time it's all just a cartoon and especially a cartoon aimed at a younger demographic.
