Otherwise it would feel out of place IMO.
But that foundation kind of goes right out the window if you're doing stuff like Fugitoid and Triceratons. All that groundwork to make something realistic and gritty turns into these sci-fi multi-dimensional quests.

That kind of thing can work for something like Thor: Ragnarok, because we've become accustomed to the idea that there is a realm with norse gods living in it over the course of three movies, plus the Avengers films.

If the filmmakers want to do stuff with the Turtles in other galaxies or in space, I think it's important to lay the seeds there in the first installment that this universe is way weirder than just mutant turtles. If you start off with just an adaptation of Mirage #1, none of that stuff is there. It was a huge tonal shift back then, and it is today.
