I grew up with the original comics and the first live action movie (and some of the NES games).

The animation looks great, but I have no interest in this.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

all the obnoxious teenage quipping, which is apparently the trailer's big selling point, looks very annoying.. neat animation though

My kids got into one of the 2000's revivals for a time. We still have a lot of the toys. This looks kinda cute I guess. I think my boys are too old now though.
What were you into?
Oh man tons of stuff. Off the top of my head G.I. Joe, Transformers, Voltron, Jonny Quest, Ducktales, Robotech (the one with the Invid), Thundercats, Bionic Six, Silverhawks, Thundarr the Barbarian, He-Man, Centurions, Dungeons & Dragons....stuff like that. I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of stuff. Shows like Turtles, Real Ghostbusters, Inspector Gadget that were popular with some of my friends I'd only watch if I was desperate.
He-man hit just as I was my spirit was becoming encased in this flesh prison, so it was a pretty big deal for me.

Then I was really into Transformers, but the toys were too expensive and the parents wouldn't buy them for me.

Then I got really into GI Joe, and they had the best quality toys by far. That was probably the biggest.

Then Thundercats/Voltron/Silverhawks whatever.

Then TMNT.

After that, I aged out.

The G.I. Joes were hands down the best toys cause you could pretend they were anything. Take a old sock cut it into a cape put in on Snake Eyes now he's Batman. Probably one of the top 5 moments of my life was when my friend showed me how to take apart Joes and put them back together in different configurations. Take the head of this one put it on another body he looks close enough to Wolverine lets play X-Men. Mix and match now I got a Arnold Schwarzenegger. Let's play Predator. The best.

The cartoon is great. It's like if you gave Michael Bay an extra bag of coke. Just wall-to-wall, mindless violence. The animation is actually pretty good, too. It holds up better than the others.
