Who wants this? >me
No autist I mean who is this meant for? 35 year olds who might buy 1 or 2 issues and thats it? Younger gens won't give a frick about this?
but apart from that, I guess the 90s cartoon nostalgia shit is working on millennial dads trying to indoctrinate their kids because this shit is not stopping
I am part of that gen. I had the toys. Watched the cartoon. I could never see myself buying this comic. If I did maybe one for a joke but there is no way I would keep up with this series. This is yet another "Wow this is so cool" thing when advertised but will make shit money.
>90s cartoon nostalgia shit is working on millennial dads trying to indoctrinate their kids because this shit is not stopping
I doubt it. Hollywood skipping 90s in favor of 2000s nostalgia. I think IDW just desperate to keep the TMNT license form Nick. If it’s 90s nostalgia IDW would’ve published a street shark, Captain Planet or mighty max books.
>If it’s 90s nostalgia IDW would’ve published a street shark, Captain Planet or mighty max books.
From all the TMNT clones. Street sharks and biker mice from mars I am surprised haven’t been rebooted yet. Street sharks toys sales in third place behind TMNT and power rangers. Only Pokémon and Digimon killed street shark hype.
The 87 cartoon is the most persistently "known" take on the IP that's existed, pretty much everything existed in its time and was forgotten but this is the thing most people think of when they imagine the IP. It's just hard to be surprised by 87 dick-sucking at this point even if it's objectively the worst take on the franchise.
I get it but the cartoon was self contained, no real long engaging plot filled with children's jokes made to sell toys. It's very much a relic of its time. Zoomers and younger kids won't give a frick. Millennials are too old to enjoy it. Seems really stupid to do.
Probably trying to cash in on Shredder's Revenge's thunder.
>why not just share the same one?
Because he lives across the countryand I only see him once or twice a year. >Also why don't you have a kid yet to give one too?
Kids are too fricking expensive.
>I'll be buying a copy for myself and depending on if it age-appropriate, a copy for my five-year-old nephew
I use to do the same for my daughter with the pony book until IDW made that shit political by making BLM issues that turned dragons into horse universe black people. That shit was the most unintentional racist shit I read until the miles morals Thor oneshoot. Later found out IDW ban zebras in the comic because zebras are somehow racist.
They’re jumping on you, but you’re right. All of these retro books get attention for issue 1 then just fizzle out. What worked for a cartoon 30 years ago doesn’t necessarily sell a monthly comic now.
I’m so sick of you white boomers and your constant need for nostalgia. Sometimes I think about meeting you guys irl and punching you in the head. Why is this necessary? Why can’t you move forward. You’re stuck I hate you
We don't ask for this shit. I have no idea why creativity ended sometime around 2005 and everything before then needs to be remade over and over. Don't kill all of us some of us hate this shit too
So which are you, a butthurt 03gay zoomer mad that nobody cares about your preferred version, or a butthurt edgelord that is angry at the idea of a parody character getting a miniseries for kids?
Just kidding, they're the same thing.
TMNT 87 can be decent but it's always treated like Adam West Batman and just seen as a silly and wacky series with no grounding.
The softer personalities of the turtles and the bombastic and hammy Shredder would be fine if it's paired with decent storyboarding and investible events. I just don't trust anyone actually wants to write something like that with the 87 turtles if all they see it as is dumb Saturday morning kids merch-shifting fare.
>TMNT 87 can be decent but it's always treated like Adam West Batman
So something respected and honored as a classic or iconic? All jokes aside it would depend on how much they decided to adapt vs modify, I think there's some people like Tim and Erik who've either worked on TMNT or similar "Saturday Morning" things. It's really not a question of genuine interest or if this will be a meh/flop with the unironic, "the adaptation did it better" be thrown around
Not iconic but ironic. Adam West's Batman wasn't as wacky as people think it was but the wackyness if all people focus on when talking about it so I assume these TMNT comics will just be jokes about the 80's and throwing trash cans at every bad guy they meet and overplay the wackiness tenfold.
I don't really get the ironic/iconic part but I agree with the rest of your post. For the most part people do focus on the wackiness because it's very campy or silly.
>I assume these TMNT comics will just be jokes about the 80's and throwing trash cans at every bad guy they meet and overplay the wackiness tenfold.
Highly doubt then since it would be a waste of an adaptation. Not because it would suck but because it's not different at all, why have TMNT '87-lite?
If not for Adam West Batman we probably wouldn't have gotten Batman the Brave and the Bold. If we ended up getting a TMNT equivalent of that cartoon it'd be weird and kinda circular but I'd be super down for that too.
Basically look to Turtles Forever to understand the problem with the modern perception to TMNT 87. That is the nadir of boiling down classic TMNT to what people think it is rather than what people should want it to be.
Who wants this?

35 year olds are the only ones who buy comics

well it's only 4 issues, so IDW must know where you're coming from

Probably.

I'll be buying a copy for myself and depending on if its age appropriate, a copy for my five year old nephew
why not just share the same one?
Also why don't you have a kid yet to give one too?
>why not just share the same one?
Because he lives across the countryand I only see him once or twice a year.

Yea I am sure thats it.

Well luckily I *am* black (never thought I'd say that) so that won't be a deal breaker for me.
>35 year olds who might buy 1 or 2 issues and thats it
What's the problem here? The IDW comic is still going so why are you seething about this?
>seething
Zoomer not every argument dumbs down to seething and coping.
>preemptively going "no, autist" is not seething
You morons always find ways to project without even thinking about it
>give an opinion on something
>"why you seething why you coping"
grow up anon
>35 year olds who might buy 1 or 2 issues and thats it?
It's four issues anyway. What's the big deal?
There is no big deal? Why do you think thee is a big deal?
People who immediately assume it's a continuation of the Archie continuity and then end up sad.
They’re jumping on you, but you’re right. All of these retro books get attention for issue 1 then just fizzle out. What worked for a cartoon 30 years ago doesn’t necessarily sell a monthly comic now.
Stay mad '03gay
I am mad.
Nick has been pushing the 80s cartoon hard.
Except for actually buying it and putting it available on streaming sites
FFFFFFFRICK TMNT '87
Somewhat.
How screwed IDW be if they lose TMNT and ghostbusters licenses? They already losing Hasbro action figures..
Somewhat

I'm game.
I like both 87 abd 2012 series
unless they're in a gay polyamorous relationship with master splinter i'm not interested
So not the Archie comic where they were stopping cyborg fascist sharks from the future from going back in to steal Hitler's brain?
*back in time
