The 2011 reboot was much more serious, better paced, action-packed... etc. Was on Toonami for a while there, so that should tell you something. Course, despite it being super popular in views, it got cancelled after one season because it wasn't selling enough merchandise.

MARKETING. Pity. From what little I managed to catch, the 2011 version was fun and promising.
