It’s kind of a reductive way of looking at it. Mirage isn’t the be-all-end all of what defines good TMNT. It’s the source material, yes, but I’d prefer any new films evolve, use the DNA of what came before, but not clone it. I don’t see the purpose of adapting these stories when you can still try a ton of things that have never been seen before.
You can get genuine pathos from these characters if you try. The closest we have gotten to that is the first movie, nearly 30 years ago. If a new movie can give me characters that I have an emotional connection to, it can do whatever it wants.
If that means a complete Mirage adaptation then so be it, but the idea of Mirage being the franchise’s only saving grace is flawed.
