Does anyone hate it when the turtles Look exactly the same

I guess I prefer that they look more similar than not, given their species, genus etc.

I prefer it when the mutagen simply "hyper-mutates", as well. But what specifically makes that any more or less believable than the way it works in other media? Isn't it just as "magical" that this glowing chemical stuff makes an animal bigger and smarter, instead of just rotting slowly with cancer, as would actually be the case? Hyper-mutation or mixing DNA... either way, it's pretty far-fetched to me. I always just figured the editors in charge of each universe decided which way worked better long-term for the stories they wanted it to tell and went from there. In other words, "It just works however they need it to."

Don't get me wrong, we have the same preference. I just don't see what makes the other way so offensive. I always took it as merely a stylistic choice.
