Is there a "toxicity" in this fandom?

The funny thing is Baxter mutated into a fly turned out to be one of his most iconic forms for over 30 years. Yet at the time that episode was written in 1988, it was just intended to be a horror movie parody. In the same reason we also got Rex-1, who was a blatant Robocop parody. The Pizza Monsters was a blatant parody of Alien with them having almost the same designs.

As said most of us were kids when the original cartoon was airing so until we got older I had no idea almost all its concepts were sci-fi parodies/homages, a lot to older fiction.

So while the Nick cartoon did go overboard with horror movie parodies at some point, it's not really the first TMNT cartoon to do that.
