I mean, obviously no matter what, we will probably always have 4 mutant, teenaged Turtles who know ninjitsu trained by a rat named Splinter who may or may not have been Hamato Yoshi or Hamato Yoshi's pet, but beyond that... do you feel like there will ever be a new incarnation of TMNT (be it a cartoon, a new comic, a new movieverse, an anime) that is original beyond that?
In terms of being its own thing. New characters, new villains, different direction and take (not "I wonder what new origin we can give for Beebop and Rocksteady this time around" or "I bet I know a great new way for Renet to meet the Turtles this time"). A complete new universe, with no interest in just re-imagining old characters and stories. Since the sale to Viacom/Nick, all we've gotten is different variations of the same thing (new Bebop, new Mutagen Man, new Mechaturtle, etc.) that mostly seem to spider-web from Fred Wolf, though I'm even talking about other existing universes. Why must every new TMNT incarnation be a study in redoing old characters and old stories, over and over again, and will there ever be one that breaks the mold on this?
