>>109949949It's pretty clear that the team behind the 2003 turtles had a serious boner for the Mirage comics, and piecing together Eastman and Laird's vitriol towards the '87 cartoon, it's not hard to see as though they felt they were vicariously taking the piss out of the cartoon in the name of the original creators.
The sad part is that, in trying to recreate the original comics with a Y7 rating, they were probably more disgraceful to the source material than the 87 show was. The '03 show was pretty much neutered edgelord shit, but without its tongue being anywhere near its cheek.
