Even if you did a line-by line scene by scene adaptation of the comic story, the public who've seen the first film will make the comparisons; and any RNTY film they make will forever been seen as a 1990 remake. An adaptation will have to concentrate on the elements the 1990 film omitted, and put it together in a way that feels different than the 1990 film, even if it means making changes to the narrative from mirage.

The 1990 movie rutted around way more in the Leonardo special, #10, and #11 than anything in "Return to New York." The only RTNY element in it is them physically departing the farmhouse (and not even in remotely the same way), everything else is different.
But who cares? It'd be 30, maybe 35 years after TMNT 1990 by the time a reboot movie comes out.
