tmnt; adaptations and the source material

Even even you were to run out of material (which I doubt) everything is still open ended and could easily be built opon without creating new characters or concepts.

And? A fair bit of that material will probably have to be retooled to make it work better. For example, the Justice Force seem a little odd if the Turtles have to keep their very existence hidden from the wold. Not everything those comics provided was good.

I'm just saying that wouldn't have to tap into multiple wells. Eventually you'd get sludge out of it, but by that point you'd already have more than enough water. Then sow some seeds and water it.

I sure hope this metaphor isn't too cryptic.

And why is tapping into other wells so bad? Why can't we have a roast Bebop dinner on top of it?

Not bad, just not needed.
