I know I posted this on DA, but I feel like showing my opinions here because I'm sick and tired of people dreading the worst.

10/22/09 -sigh- As many of you know, TMNT is owned by Viacom and Nickelodeon. I'm actually not horrified, just surprised. I mean really it's not big deal to panic about.

Here's how I feel about Nickelodeon/Viacom owning TMNT. I can see things going BETTER for them. Why? Well, aside from the new series and movie coming in 2012, they're going to bring out merchandise. Also, Laird's daughter has been working for Playmates and is trying to get them to start making TMNT stuff again.

Just because TMNT is owned by Viacom does not mean disaster. We don't know that until the series starts. So, don't judge them just yet. They can't do any worse than 4Kids (although I do love the 2k3 series and the voice actors and such. TMNTFF was good too). And granted TMNT is going to be on Nickelodeon, it doesn't mean it won't be a 2003-esque kind of series where it has dark and serious moments. I mean, look at Avatar. So it won't totally be kidified most likely.

So, think of this as a positive thing. TMNT is going to be living on longer and we're getting a new series and movie and even merchandise!
