#48 will be the final issue.

I know IDW Splinter wanted to protect his sons and wish they could live normal lives, but some of his behavior were like bury the head in the sand. At least 2012 Splinter will told his son this:

Wonder what they will do after that. A complete re write … or just mini series ?

don’t like that Rise gave Raph and Donnie the full bandana that covers the head.

Not sure that's an unpopular opinion. I don't like it either and I've seen plenty of people complain when that happened in TNM and MM as well. There is something off about them covering their heads like that.

Oh my bad lol

But yes completely agree

Let’s just say that if Raphael is wearing the stupid durag in the upcoming live-action/cgi film, I’m gonna go bananas.

I like Urban Legend comic are more respectful of Karai's origin.

Hate it there too lol but looks somewhat more tolerable than in the current shows

It's nice to see that other people hate the durag bandana on the turtles just as much as I do. The worst bandanas were those God awful Next Mutation ones. What on Earth were they thinking?

Absolutely horrendous. I have zero clue what they were thinking when they did those. That and everything else about it. Just terrible

TheLabRat · 11-03-2026, 05:50 PM

If they really want to make some change, why not just give Raph a red oni mask?

Ya when it comes to certain things sometimes change just isn’t good. Turtles is such an iconic look. Hate to mess with that. Maybe in one off issue comics fine. But changing the look for a movie I just hate

Since it's a relevant talking point, my unpopular opinion is that the over-the-head bandanas (or "du-rags" as you guys call it) is actually a pretty dope look that has its place in turtles ethos. To this day I love the Next Mutation turtle designs, for example. The only iterations I can think of that didn't use them as a variation at some point were Fred Wolf & the Henson films (but you could argue TNM is an extension of the latter, making FW the ONLY one).
