Have you seen the type of shit Hollywood does to existing franchises to try and make it "popular" for the mainstream?
There's no doubt in my mind that the TMNT film could exist the way it did if it weren't for the cartoon proving you can keep the fucking characters and plot intact that wasn't hollywoodized and be popular.
TMNT would be considered a joke and a terrible franchise, and you wouldn't be here even talking about the comic, because it's better to forget something even associated with such trash
of course, mario bros escaped such ridicule, because it was selling millions and millions awesome amazing shit back then. Compare that to TMNT's ten thousand readers back then, if even that.
