Power Rangers are also hated by the TMNT fandom because they indeed kill the TMNT fad, so between that and most TMNT fans being older means they don't like PR. Fun thing is the PR fandom most of them love the turtles. I guess younger kids just saw them as two kick ass shows while older kids saw them as enemies
Anyways I forgot to mention that apparently they bought PR for nine figures, so that means either Laird got freaking ripped off by viacom or just shows how much more the PR franchise is worth than the turtles. I definitely find that interesting,.
