>>11078584>Really? You're really going to say that?It's an indie comic, that maybe got read by a hundred thousand people in total.
Versus a hundred of million+ people who watched the 80s cartoon alone. Nevermind the dozen reboots that came later. Nevermind most of the people who own the original (and reprints) comics bought it purely as an investment
>It was based on their property and was VERY beneficial to themSo what? They acknowledge it and enjoyed their lifestyle because of it, but it's still a shitty cartoon.
Why do they need to pretend to enjoy that shit sandwich?
>It's not about something being a sacred cowThat's literally what you're asking them to do. It made them a ton of money, thus not allowed to say anything negative about it? Is everyone but them allowed to criticize a crappy 80s cartoon?
Is this just a you problem? You think that they should love it just because you liked it? Why are you so bothered that they don't like it?
It doesn't even sound like you ever read or watched any of their interviews. As an 80s TMNT lover, i completely understand every critical thing they have to say about the series i love and enjoy hearing about what in a pain in the ass it was for them. They were poorfags that could barely print a comic who were suddenly sitting on a billion dollar franchise.

Cartoonist Kayfabe also has an interview with Peter Chung (aeon flux), who was involved with the pilot/miniseries AND he also hates the 80s cartoon. In fact, he's embarrassed for everyone involved in it, hence removing himself from the cartoon as soon as he could.
>>11078367Many of my favorite teachers in college were hippies. The ones that weren't were political activists who hated hippies, but were still counter-culture. Also, a lot of comic people were hippies and you can tell from their interviews.
