By the end, it convinced me that TMNT had not two audiences (adults and children) but three audiences (two of which are adults, and two of which are children&mdash;enjoy that brainteaser). 1987 series fans have long since aged into adulthood, but many of their TMNT interests and their audience maturity levels have not grown up. What the 2012 series became was a neither-nor, which many parents thought was too violent or racy to let their children watch, and which many adults still saw as far too bubblegum to be a proper mature TMNT. It tried to please everyone, and instead in many instances ended up pleasing no one. "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
