lbd_nytetraynNormally, I love Real Life Comics. Enough so that I even added it as something I like in my LJ info. However, this one, posted in the topic of the MMN IRC channel, baffles me.
1) How can ANYone really think the old toon was better? I get the feeling this is what people speak of when they say "nostalgia is talking." Yeah, yeah, personal opinions and all that, fine. I just don't see what they can't like about the new one. Guess you just have to be a little open-minded.
Ironically, I get the feeling that this is what the ORIGINAL original TMNT fans thought as well when guys like me were going nuts over the old cartoon show.
2) More seriously, and my real gripe with the comic, is mispronouncing such a simple villain name in such a way EVER really been a problem for anyone? I dunno, just seems to me like he was reaching for a punchline after stating his opinion... not as good as his usual calibur of work.

So they genuinely prefer the more light-hearted shenanigans (...A word I don't know how to spell!) of the classic show. Or maybe they just like things to be stupid and silly like that in general. Who knows!
