A lot of good points being made, but here are some of mine...
Good comicbook films come out all the time now, with the intention to sell toys. Star Wars and MCU films are all about selling toys, and still find a way to please many fans. It’s a tricky balance, but also a somewhat necessary evil most of the time, and we have seen it done well. We don’t need to expect tmnt to eschew the entire blockbuster formula in order to be good. Sure, it’d be nice, but its not necessary. While reminding everyone that I wouldn’t bet $5 on it being good, there’s still a chance. A roll of the dice. I think the cynicism is maybe taken to an extreme level here, sometimes. Again, I have no mental investment of it being great, but if I was 100%, on my life, sure that the film would not be good, then I wouldn’t even follow development, likely. I guess I enjoy rooting for the smallest, weakest racehorse, as long as it still has four legs. To each their own, of course. Although some people here would never be pleased unless there is lots of blood and guts on the floor, so we all have different ideas of what a good tmnt film needs. I’d take the blood and guts but it’s not what makes the franchise special. So when we use nebulous terms like “good”, we might not even be having the same discussion.

People shouldn't blaspheme on this most holy of days.

.......I'm not sure you grasp how the whole "The Munchies" thing works, lass... Kinda gonna need that candy.
You can have the Peeps. Real baby chicks have much more protein anyways.

I mean the Mirage TMNT were never bloodthirsty killing machines, but when they fought, they fought like their life was at stake, which would at times include using lethal force. The overall tone of the book was what made it more 'adult' in nature, as the Turtles dealt with being mutant outcasts in the world and having that matter not be played for laughs. And the Turtles not being obsessed with pizza and catchphrases. And Shredder, who for the most part, was running an criminal operation and not having zany plans to rule the world or whatever, and then be obsessed with revenge after his first death.

You can have between one (1) and three (3) Cadbury Eggs as well.
......You're alright, You.

Thank you for the offer, but no Reese's? This is an outrage.

You want me to share REESE'S? We're not even going out!
Jeebus, how 'bout the fillings outta my f*ckin' teeth?! Since you're askin' so nicely and I'm just giving sh*t away, apparently! Mini Reese's Cups. That's the best I can do. Full-sized ones are going to become equitable to currency once everyone finds out that there's no gold left in the Reserve. But I can maaaaybe spare a few of the minis. And if I get any Butterfingers, by all means help yourself. Sheeeeeiiiit. Just plain going up to people demanding Reese's. I'll give you this, you got quite a set on you, m'dear. People get stabbed for stuff like that down in Newark. ....Although to be fair, it's Newark, and people down there generally get stabbed for... y'know... anything. Point still stands, you've got some brass ones. I can't acquiesce to your demands, but I like the cut'a yer gib.
