Pretty bizarre direction for a Turtles movie! :lol:

Fun fact, the saying "Turtles all the way down" has its roots in highlighting a logical problem in Hindu mythology. According to Hindu mythology, the earth rests on the back of a turtle swimming in the ocean. The problem is that if this was true, then the ocean would be resting on the back of another turtle, which would be swimming in another ocean resting on the back of another turtle and so on and so forth. Interestingly enough, Islam has a similar myth about an Ox and a Fish. Then there is of course the Midgard Serpent.

... Where was I going with this? I'm drunk.

You remind me of this classic cover from Batman#8.

Yeah, makes sense for the TMNT franchise to reference this.
... I wonder if there is a sea of continent turtles swimming on top of another turtle, which has continent turtles of its own?

That looks great! Probably not something I'd watch personally, but I get it if it is successful.
