20 years later and I still wonder how *4kids* of all companies gave us not only one of the best adaptions of the TMNT, but also this absolute banger of an intro. Cowabunga, my dude!

[@gothic_ace2037]

because the creator of the comics had a hand in its making

[@JoJoOnYouTube]

And the Darkest one, its weird how they censored Yugioh and One Piece when there were scenes in TMNT 2003 that were probably darker than the former and latter.

[@TheToffen]

you say that like 4kids didn't CONSTANTLY release banger intros. Sonic X theme, yugioh theme, One Piece rap, they're responsible for the OG pokemon dub intros, Kirby right back at ya.

[@littlekuribohimposte]

@@TheToffen They butchered shws bit game us banger music

[@timeismichael]

The only thing they did wrong was kick out the creator and then make the future series

[@BillyBobBeauBenson]

03' Turtles was the absolute best version and I will forever die on this hill. It was darker and grittier than the 80's series, the voice acting was great, the characters were well designed, the jokes were actually funny, and when it needed to be serious, it was. It was never not entertaining.

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Well the 2003 series is heavily inspired by the original 80s comics, hell TMNT co-creator Peter Laird helped with production and touching up the scripts

[@metanightmare4454]

​@@The_Blue_Otaku Yeah, and Laird went all-out with it because he actually HATES the 80s cartoon and its popularity with a debatably unhealthy passion. He really wanted to make a version that blew that one out of the water, and I think he succeeded, even if I have no ill will towards the 80s show myself.

[@gothic_ace2037]

i had no idea he hated the 80s show, the 80s show was ok but i definitely preferred the more darker tone of the 2003 version, leo being my favorite turtle@@metanightmare4454

[@Swenglish]

For me, the first four seasons were really good overall. Not perfect, there were some decisions I wouldn't have made (chief among them: I'd have kept Oroku Saki human, let him die at TCRI, and made Foot founder Ch'Rell a separate character...and maybe given him the pseudonym Lord Krang as a reference), but overall very good. Then...it went off the rails in a not great way. Ninja Tribunal, Fast Foward, Back to the Sewer...it fell into cheap, derivative gimmickry and toy-based story decisions, similar to the 1987 Murakami Wolf show. I think what happened was leadership changed at 4Kids and the writers no longer had as much free reign to do whatever they wanted. It seemingly became a show by committee. But seasons 1-4 on their own are easily the best TMNT show so far. The 2012 Nickelodeon show was more consistent than the totality of the 4Kids series, but not as good as its first four seasons.

FACTS

[@Swenglish]

"Count on Raphael to throw the first punch." "Never fight unless someone else starts." Somehow I love the contradiction between those two lines.

[@zillagrilla315]

Actually it's not a contradiction if you look at this way, when diplomacy or stealth fails Raph will take the initiative to end fight as soon as possible.

[@RyutheWeredragon]

It's Raphael. It goes without saying.

[@Swenglish]

@@zillagrilla315 The first punch is the first punch regardless, but even ignoring that, Raphael has been known to fly off the handle before any diplomacy has been attempted. The turtles may "live by the code of the martial arts" as a group, but Raphael alone kind of doesn't; he has to be reined in by his brothers in order for the code to be held up collectively.

[@maverickhunter8755]

"If all else fails then it's time to kick butt." Gotta throw that first punch to kick butt

[@XxZmoneyxX]

The bad guys always start the fight with a none punch attack such as a kick, elbow, knee, headbutt, ect... Ralph then throws the first punch. Contradiction solved.

[@Mariocat99]

Its crazy how the singing is accurate to the original

[@TykusBalrog]

90s kids are those that were kids in the 90s, in which case surely you would've watched the original cartoon from 87-96? 00s kids like me, who were born in the 90s but were kids in the 00s, watched TMNT from 03.

[@nappa9965]

It's the 2nd best for me. My favorite is 2012 turtles

[@SupercharizardEx]

I might be a bit biased, but the 2003 series is by far the best. The characters actually act serious, and there are a lot more “closer to life” themes and lessons in the show. Oh, and the 2003 incarnation of the Shredder is the most evil one by far. Considering that he has absolutely no morals whatsoever, he is a complete sociopath who just kills whoever he wants whenever he wants.

[@ІлляВетров-й2д]

I recall the 2003 TMNT was universally ignored by the 80ies crowd 10 years ago. I am happy to know that the 2003 TMNT are finally starting to get the recognition it deserves.

[@anamitson6785]

I started with a 2012 series 6 years ago, and then watched other existed media (movies, comics, serieses). But in the retrospective the adult me love the 2003 series more. I can describe why: - darker tone; - New York feels alive (in 2012 it feels like they made 5 citizens and that's it); - fights choreography and amazing 2d-animation; - turtles are such a believable characters (such as others); they can experience complex emotions (turtles have layers too!), they talk and behave like real brothers; and they also very funny. (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

[@ThomasStraiton]

That’s an awesome analysis!!

[@Thegrazy]

I'd say in the 2012 version, the turtles work well together better, and their dynamics the best the only dynamic In the 2003 version is Ralph v Leo but in 2012 there ar loads more and 3d dosent necessary mean bad have you seen across the spiderverese and 2012 is darker in season 3 and 4 and at the end of season 4 master splinter literally died and never returned and they got darker costumes the 2012 version ha more humor in season 1 2 and 5 and seas9n 5 finally umm it was the most deperseing tnmt ending

[@brianboardwell1986]

I love your cover! 2003 is my favorite version. I still remember when my dad took me and my brothers to say hi to this older lady who lived very close to us. I must’ve been nearly 5 and I was so hyped over the last TMNT episode and told her excitedly that Leo cut Shredder’s head off! My older brother was a bit embarrassed and started covering my mouth with his hand because I was spouting more stuff about the show lol The show is only on DVD for physical release I really hope they release it on blu ray one day.

[@gregdeandrea1450]

Favorite series has got to be 2012. 2003 would have done it if it didn't COMPLETELY jump the shark in the last season. This theme song, however, is an absolute banger. And this was an incredible version of it. I'll keep banging the Street Sharks drum until I die, but I'll also make a recommendation for the other show I watched on this cartoon block. (I don't remember what the name of the block was. It had a bunch of green branding). Code Lyoko. One of those songs that made me realize I like softer music.
