I think for me, the movie almost ruined my interest in TMNT because while there is escapism, there is a point where you can get too weird and then it's a lot harder to escape into it without wondering 'How can they ever relax if their multiverse is destroyed that easily?' and 'Why should I care about them when even their own 'multiverse' says that they're not real?'

Speculation time!

The counterargument is that it isn't that easy. The Technodrome entered 4Kidsverse completely by accident - implying that the universes are separated by at least some distance to each other. And then, the thing that caused Ch'rell to mentally break was scores of TMNT dimensions all obeying similar parameters.

So the Kraang, even if they have portals into FW-verse, might not have discovered many of the other verses simply because many other TMNT verses don't have Dimension X / the Nick verse is relatively isolated / the authors control what to show.

And then, there's a chance that OUR universe is simulated or in some other way fictional. Why should we care then?

That said, I don't blame you for thinking that way. It's a pretty valid question you're stating.
