With all of my excitement for the new movie, my TMNT fandom has been on overdrive lately (for the world and my friends/family to see)....that said, I wanted to ask my fellow TMNT fans if your friends/family think it's odd that you enjoy them so much (especially as adults).....??

My love of the TMNT began in '87, when the original cartoon aired (I was 8 at the time). I was instantly hooked and have been ever since. In fact, as an adult I became even more aware of the TMNT universe and began collecting the comics.

My love for the turtles is obviously directly attributed to the original 80's cartoon, however, I have been able to appreciate the relationships between all the characters as an adult, and have therefore grown to love them more.

I recently tried to explain to my gf the reasons why I am such a fan, beginning with my childhood devotion to the cartoon, all subsequent video games (especially the first arcade game - BEST EVER!!) all the way down to the dynamic characters. And she "kind of gets it", but mostly just thinks it'e "really cute" that I love things like TMNT.
