Like, for instance... I think the idea of Raph starting as leader of the brothers, and Leo being more of a rebel shirking responsibility, could be an excellent character arc for both of them.

But who's going to do it real justice? A cartoon with Gordon Ramsay spoofs and Splinter looking like... geez, I don't even KNOW what to call that thing. With techno-Donnie and pizza everywhere?

Or something akin to Frank Miller's Daredevil, just without Karen becoming a junkie hooker?

Tell me I'm wrong.
You're wrong.
I don't trust Miller near his own work these days, let alone some of my favorite fictional characters.

That dude is like the hand-model from that episode of Seinfeld. He got high on his own success, and went pants-on-head bugfutz.
Uh-uh.
I've got enough problem with the ubiquitous misogyny this property garners, I don't need that guy's porn addiction added to it.

Now, if you were to say...suggest the folks who brought the first season of Daredevil to life. Sure.
Maybe the folks behind Legion, for the Dale Evans McGuillicutty arc. Great.

I have no problem with these dreams, because all of the things I'd like these characters to be and do are just that: Dreams.

Because at no point during any incarnation was I the demographic being catered to.
After a while, I just got used to it.

And all the Drum and Strang that goes on in these threads is just a bunch of other Olds And Busteds being upset at the fact that they're not the target audience anymore either.

Trust me, fandom is more fun when you take what you like from something, and then make something new with it.
Lie back and think of North Hampton, guys.
