Making the science fiction elements harder?

While TMNT has many science fiction elements, a lot of them are soft. Would you like to see more hard science fiction at the most basic levels (like gravity, orbits, no sound in space, distances between "asteroids" or whatever).

To me, that would have been cool.

Well it kinda depends if the writer has knowledge about said subjects if not then no.

Most actual sci-fi franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek don't even do these concepts, let alone TMNT

Star Trek claims to have hard science fiction concepts, but I don't think they're always correct.

TMNT science tends to go for "whatever the plot needs" logic as a whole . Which usually does lead to some trouble, like the logic of interdimensional teleportation in IDW.


I stand firmly by the Utroms being in prehistoric Earth and still being alive in the present day to be really dumb. What in the world is going on with the quantum physics there...

At least they should've evolved bodies.

Can't speak for that recent travesty of a series but the late 80/90s Star Trek would have a science advisor although they would be told to bend the actual science to allow certain plots to happen. Science advisor André Bormanis remembers the nightmare of having to explain how DS9's One Little Ship could happen since in terms of hard science it was impossible.

Let's say Shredder and Krang succeeded in "Take Me to Your Leader". Wouldn't that knock Earth out of orbit?
