Only upside to this is that A: It's staying on Nickelodeon and B: that the executive producers from the 2012 show and Samurai Jack are working on it so it's in good hands.

@@Mina-vt8vh TMNT '03 is overrated. TMNT '12 literally does everything right for it's franchise, it has personality for the characters(something most of the other adaptations have failed at) and not to mention has the best Shredder. It also has good storylines that both does new things but also stays true to it's own franchise. It's practically objective that TMNT '12 is the best adaptation of the half the shell heroes that isn't a comic.

I luv the 2003 TMNT it was my child hood

[@mortiestrick805]

Not every 2003 fan gives hate to the 2012 series. I’ve actually dealt with a couple 2012 fans who were idiots. For example: I am in the comments stating that 2003 is my favorite. Then a 2012 fan comes and says “no 2012” and then I reply with “you are not me so I still like 2003 the best”. So 2012 fans can be hateful too. Then I dealt with another who wasn’t necessarily hateful but they commented on random 2003 episodes saying that 2012 was better. Heck that person even commented on a 1987 video clip just to say that 2012 splinter was better. So it’s not exactly smart to say all 2003 fans hate on the 2012 series.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

What I love about the look of the 2012 series Turtles is that each of them is very different from the other. In the 1987 and 2003 incarnations we basically had four matching turtles who could only be told apart from each other by the color of their bandanas. The 2012 series gave each of them a different look, in episodes like "Slash and destroy" and "within the woods" we see the guys without their bandanas and you can still see who is who. Raphael - Has a small, blocky shaped head, a wide neck and cracks in both his upper and lower shell, height-wise he's also the shortest of the four but also the most muscular. Michelangelo - Slightly taller than Raph, has big a more rounded face on a slimmer neck and big, round eyes which perfectly matches his happy-go-lucky character. Donatello - Tallest of the four, almost a full head taller than Raph. He's also the slimmest in built, his head is more elongated than the others which gives him that Nerdy look to match his character. And then there's the offset gap in his teeth. Leonardo - Probably the most neutral looking of all of them, body-wise he's inbetween Raph and Mikey, having the muscles of the former with the more rounded look of the latter.

[@Zeno11Salazar]

Even though I have seen nearly all of 2003 TMNT and a good chuck of it's bad squeal, I really love the 2012 version more.

2003 was my life, but I LOVE the 2012 and am super bummed about it coming to an end...again. The 2012 just has the whole package to me from comic, anime, and a vast amount of homages to It's past and even the latest film. It is the most unique and original (in my opinion)

[@pferreira1983]

The 80's TMNT cartoon will always be best in my opinion.

Not according to the children in the comments who were not born when that show aired. They say the later ones are best.

[@pferreira1983]

@@NirnBootMod That's their opinion isn't it. 😉

[@jazztoons115]

Okay I see were this comment section is going, so I'm just going to throw my hat into the ring. The 2012 version is the best in opinion. It has a good balance of humor and seriousness that doesn't not feel as jarring when they switch from one another. I was at first skeptical on the art style and the animation but after a few episodes you get use t the look and it isn't that bad. The fight scene a gorgeous and super slick with it's animation. REALLY THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. I grew up with the 2003 version and I still like it and without it and the 1989 version we would still have turtles, but this is a good blend of both.

[@ErinEpica]

YEAH!!! :D XD

[@Jesterclown17]

Jazztoons yeah, I agree with you completely. While the art design isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, the animation makes up for it. Seriously, the animators are incredible whenever an action scene's required.

Without TMNT 2012 I wouldn't be the TMNT fan I am today

[@CJTranceAddiction]

The 80's/90's version had the longest run. It's by far the best one even with the humour. And plus, the pilot episode is the best of all-time. It started off actually quite serious. The original will always be the most iconic, made the biggest impact and will always be seen as the true turtles because it started it all. Looking at the comments here, I might be the only one here in my 30's which is why there is no support now for the 80's turtles. mark my words though, back in the 80's, it was the highest rated cartoon of all-time!!! Cultural phenomenon.

[@KINGKOON777]

My opinion: I love the 2012 the most~~!!!!

[@robertstirling2798]

2003 Turtles was the best! It was dark and gritty. One of its greatest strengths was how badass the Shredder was!

[@masterblaster7953]

Imo 2003 had the best shredder. yes Uncle phill, and the latest shredder are good but without nostalgia for the late Uncle phill the 2003 Shredder was threatening. We saw him get stabbed (lived) his head cut off (lived), find out he is a alien yet still without his exo suit kicks butt and is menacing (lived) banished in a exile icey world (lived) comes back in Turtles Forever and nearly takes out every known TMNT timeline/other-world to which took 87's comic turtles, and 2003 turtles along with the 87's villains to stop him. Not to mentioned he killed many people on and off screen, this shredder took apart minions (mainly stockman that is reduced to a BRAIN), and felt like a true threat to the Turtles. (this is also not counting the Tain Qul Shredder who is a demon!!!!) Plus I say while yes the 2003 was action heavy it had a lot of humor, sad moments, showing each character in their own environment, and this Splinter was a mix of wise yet using his teachings for modern times for the turtles to understand. Plus battle nexus we find out Splinter was fighting aliens LONG before we ever saw Aliens hahahahahaha.

I think 2012 is the best iteration. The other Shredders either have no personality or are dumb.

[@masterblaster7953]

2012 turtles are decent but my problem with them is while it is very 87's feel mix with their own thing. Taking Casey and April to be teens, mix with Don falling for April was a bit much. That was not very needed at all. Not to mention the whole a major let down is the Mutiongin bomb not having enough background other than what is given. those Still image shots of Leo pushing the others off is what really got to me. However not much else is shown in that Art style. Nor do we see the characters talk or feel pain/loss in the future end of the world episode. However the 2003 turtles while they don't show the past battles that lead to two characters demise before hand, you can feel the loss, you then see what the cost was when you see the other turtles all beat up for over 30 years.

If we're talking generally and drop all the things about being best and that stuff, then it doesn't matter which incarnation they are from. We people in the fandom didn't fall in love with 1987, 2003 or 2012 in specifically. We fell in love with TMNT like the whole basic of it. Turtles: family, action, humor that was what we fell in love with. I love the whole TMNT fandom no matter which year they are from.....But I can't deny I favorise the 2003 though xD It's too amazing, I still scream every once in awhile at the most epic scenes (All the scenes are epic, but ya know what I mean)💞💞💞

[@infiniteedge4427]

Hell Nah I couldn't stand the 03 intro. The tune was alright, but the lyics are... Um... "Mutant chain reaction - turtles- living underground! With ninjitsu action - turtles - IT'S A SHELL OF A TOOOOWN!" sounds like its advertising a kids meal with a toy or something. The ONE thing I'll give it, the role call was clever. It was a cool way to tell us about the turtles without having to name drop them - Live by code of martial arts(honer, leo) Never fight unless someone else starts (strategy, donny) always stick together no matter what (heart, mikey) and if all else fails it's time to kick butt!(attitude, raph) ... Then they completely ruined it with some half assed lyrics just to give a more genaric role call - Leonardo is always in control... The wise guy is... Michaelangelo... Donatello is the brains of the bunch... And you can expect Raphael to THROW THE FIRST PUNCH! It's just... Forced.

say what you will about the 2012 tmnt but i love it mainly because the show seems to take aspects from almost every tmnt continuity and places them all together eg. some design aspects of the turtles ie the belt designs were taken from the 1990's movie the back story and aspects of the comedy was influenced by the 1987 cartoon ie splinter being hamato yoshi and having a long rivalry with the shredder (which is done way better in this show than the 87 series fight me) some stories such as the first fight with shredder or return to new York are taken from the comics and the fact that they use there weapons unlike the 87 cartoon (they even made fun of that in this show)

The 2012 is a true MASTAPEICE

[@palatial_mind]

I was exposed to TMNT by the 2012 cartoon and I fell in love with it from the first two episodes. It honestly motivated me into creating my own characters that soon developed into creating a whole new fantasy world. It fueled my creative mind and led me to where I am today. I give it so many thanks. I know the Nick cartoon has its faults; I felt the romance was too forced at times, certain plots had multiple holes (Timothy/Pulverizer), certain characters were barely tolerable and much more. But that doesn't make me love it any less. It holds a special place in my heart and I'm more than willing to watch through the 2003 series if I ever get the time. It kinda upsets me seeing the division in fans over which series is superior. I believe every incarnation has its strengths and weaknesses, but the Turtles themselves are what brought fans together, whether it be for the humor, the cheekiness, the action, and/or the passion. We're all bonded by our love for these four turtle brothers and I hope that bond continues strong with the 2018 reboot (or we can band together to hate it if it fails).

My List 1. The 1987 original series 2. The 2012 nickelodeon 3. The 2003 series

[@vicdog619]

Man dont i feel old....i grew up watching the 1987 version as a kid...and to me, that was the best one

[@chatwilsonwilson6159]

I wonder who that boy was that dropped the turtles I wish he would make an appearance as an adult

[@gezi5927]

2003 is my favorite, it had the best action, plot, and the characters feel more realistic and the colors just pop.

[@adambump5297]

wait you didn't talk about Shedder 2012

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

I was pleasantly surprised by the 2012 Turtles. I love their more individual physical styles, the art style is different but still nice (unlike some cough Be cool Scooby doo cough) the humour is funny, the characters are more complex, their emotions & range is better & spreads across many episodes, it is just way better than I expected.

[@MaltesersMan]

80s is the best even tho I only 12 but it is all to my uncle who got me into TMNT

[@hettyscetty9785]

I wish everyone would stop hating on the Michael Bay movies, if people would stop moaning about the designs of the show and give them a chance they might be surprised at how good they are. It seems like every time a new series or movie comes out in this franchise people complain about how different it looks or how it just isn't the same. But the fun thing about the turtles franchise is that it doesn't have to be the same, it was confirmed that all of the turtles exist in a giant turtleverse as such meaning that they still exist within every continuity but in different realities. I think 2k3 Raphael said it best, 'The more things change, the more things stay the same'.( I think that was the episode Touch and Go in season 3). Anyway, my point is, the turtles change with the times they're teenagers that have been 15 for the last 35 years and their ever changing story is rooted within the same formula so give the new material a chance and stop hating on it for no particularly good reason. Unless you have a good reason.

[@totallyshorts4920]

I believe the 2012 version is about to end then again It kind of already has they already defeated shredder and Lost splinter they even stopped shredders revival if you ask me it's already ended

[@marvelboi3416]

The 2003 TMNT is truly the best one because it mainly brought every aspect of the comic to life. And that's why the show is known as Mirage TMNT and the creators of the comics had their hands in everything to make this animated series amazing. If you a big fan of the 2003 show please if you have time make sure you read the Mirage comic books. You would be totally amazed on how they got everything right and the dialogue that was in the books was in the show on certain episodes word for word.

For some reason i didn't kniw there was a vid called tmnt 2012 i found it somehow in maybe a TV channel or from yt i didn't love any shows in my life but tmnt 2012 got me soooo interested how mikey and donnie are cute. The edit is even underrated of 2012 And about the TMNT real ones.. Nononono🙄 Leo has been lazy now Ralph's the leader that's totally.. - Btw waht makes TLNT 2012 the greatest show ever is it slowly turning into a comic and i like how tmnt is a comic this waht made mz interested in the show. Any time im going to watch TMNT. Me. : smiles the biggest smile - Also TMNT 2012 is all about " action, comedy, comics, the heart, fantasy, and more" Wow 0w0 i wish nickelodeon would make more 2012 tmnt not all the other tmnt even the new one... I cryed so hard and kept talking to myself - But i look creepy smiling - 2012 TMNT forever!

[@icecakey4799]

I also really like the 2012 one better but the other ones before that were also really good and I would definitely prefer them over the new one. I kinda liked the intro but then I got bored...

[@symbioticuruguayanspider440]

One of the only good reboots

[@kelliwalterk1730]

Teenage mutant Ninja turtles, obviously I grew up with the Nickelodeon version. I love those brothers, splinter, and April. I love the action, catchphrases, villains, and personalities. The show gives you something special. 2017, definitely has captured my heart, the animation is amazing. I like Michaelangelo. The origins are great. I don't see how you can't love the new version. Enemies make interesting plot points especially shredder. I love the rivalry between splinter and shredder. I love the original intro and the new one. New one, has lots to love about it, mostly having to do with the action, comedy, and the amazing Ninja skills. I do like April and Casey, they are unique. I like the style and surroundings of the new version, especially when they go to space. Them saving the earth was a great special, but them having to deal with their without splinter is too intense. I did love the turtles crush and relationships. I only watched a little bit of the live action series

2012 tmnt is, and most likely will always be, my favorite tmnt! The characters finally feel like actuall teenagers! Mikey is my favorite! :3

[@gaben1730]

2003 version rules no arguments

[@atari_hmb]

Awesome, 2012 TMNT isn't bad actually, though I'd prefer April to be 18 in college, along with KC, simply because they're technically still TEEN.

[@Asaylum117]

2012 Casey is the worst represantation of Casey Jones. He causes more problems to the turtles and is even dumber then Mikey in the 2012 Ninja Turtles series. I always prefer the 2003 series as my go to TMNT animated series to watch.

[@TxnnxrFPS]

2012 Series Casey is the best. With April and Casey being a teen aswell, they connect wih the Turtles more. Casey connects with Mikey and Raph, while April connects with Don and Leo

[@somerandomthings3133]

I love the 2012 and 2003 versions. The 2012 got me into tmnt and I'm rewatching the 2012 and 2003 both. I LOVE THIS SHOW

[@systematicallyshocked]

I don't see what the problem is liking one over the other. They all have their charm. I grew up with the original 80s WITHOUT realizing it was from the 80s (I'm a 90s kid). So it became my nostalgia. I unfortunately missed most of the 2003 even though my friends and I in school were into anime and loved bringing different and relatable things up, mainly Toonami. I watched some of it and it's good so my goal is to watch it entirely. The 2012 I ignored at first. Didn't like the art direction. Then a couple of years ago I got sick and while browsing saw it via the tmnt channel AND OH BOY WAS IT DELIGHTFUL! The 2012 is so good! I was sad I didn't give it a chance but I ended up buying the DVD collection and I highly enjoy it. Its hilarious. If you're a tmnt fan of any I don't know why you'd take away the opportunity to enjoy all 3 of them.
