Director FINALLY Comments On TMNT Aliens Issue

Guess I'm the only one who likes to wait until the film comes out to pass judgement.

Also, the original mirage comics are highly overrated. Deviating from them is more likely to be an improvement, though it could easily go either way. Just because it may be different doesn't mean it's bad. That's prejudice.

And the Fox tune was as damn close to an adaption of the Mirage comics as network TV will allow. Much of the dialog is taken directly from the comics, and all the major story arcs for the first few seasons (battle nexus, triceratons, return of the shredder, return to new york, etc...). Wasn't all the doing of Peter Laird (I've read his notes, he was a positive influence without trying to force his original designs in). There are minor differences (Shredder's the biggest, the last few seasons went in a very different direction) but it has far more in common with the comics then it doesn't.
