Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Nostalgia value though to me is worth my attention any time of day, nothing can replace my childhood memories, nothing. And even though I do like alot of modern shows like Fosters and JL: Unlimited, they will never be held on as high a pedestal as shows like the old TMNT, Darkwing, Bucky O'Hare etc.

One thing that I was always happy to be free of is comic book "authentcity", to me that means nothing, it really doesn't matter to me. I really don't care how much or how little Turtles, Teen Titans, or Batman or anyone was like their comic book counterparts, it just means nothing to me. I mean it might be interesting once in a while to know it, but I won't lose sleep over it if they don't be accurate.

Like in Teen Titans when their final season (5) came up, the big fuss was seeing the comic book oldie super heroes Doom Patrol brought on screen. They were BORING! I don't care how close they looked or acted like the comic book Doom Patrol, there was seriously nothing really amazing about them.

The only time I ever get upset with "changes" done to a character is when they do a complete overhaul and end up having no tie in to the original character only by namesake, or just change one REALLY drastic thing like making Shredder an alien instead of human. That gets my goat awful bad.

But other then that, comic book authenticity or tie ins or anything like that really doesn't mean alot to me. I watch comic book shows and movies the same way I watch regular shows and movies: If I am entertained, that's all that matters to me. Being closer to the book or comic doesn't mean it's going to make me love it more, whether it's enjoyable to watch will make me love it more (or less).
