I never like the cartoons that much despite growing up with the 80s one. I still do have a soft spot for the first movie though.

I'm a bit too young to have lived through that first Turtles popularity cycle, and it took me years to learn it all came from a comic. I wonder how many newer fans/kids know about this haha

I agree though, that first movie is fantastic. Take the beats of the comic and blend it with characterization of the cartoon, not to mention those timeless Jim Henson suits. Admittedly not a die hard TMNT fan, but the new movie looks fun! No more CG ogre abominations. I still find it funny how inspired it is by spiderverse by way of graffiti art vs comic dots
