Do you regret being a TMNT fan?

That's been the prevailing thing forever, but the real truth is that it's more like 35 years old or so is actually mid-life. So yeah... it's actually worse.

I just can't trust 40+ year olds. Even when I eventually turn 40, I will always be "35."

There's 2 very different types of fans of the original show. Those who were kids in the 80s and TMNT was one of their last cartoons they enjoyed before they stopped being kids, and those kids who grew up in the 90s and TMNT was their first cartoon they got into.

when I got here I couldn't believe how antiquated those people who were raised in the 80s sounded, at that point they were in their 20s while I was just a teenager. Then when I was in my 20s they were in their 30s and they felt like ****ing grandpa. Now I'm in my 30s and they're in their 40s, they just need to die. Late GenX likes to hang out with early millenials but we couldn't be more different, they sound like ****ing boomers, I guess it's not their fault, they grew up without the internet as little kids, they were already teenagers when they first heard that dial up sound.

How very Logan's Run of you.

Most people beneath and around your age are killing themselves btw. Must not be very fond of life past a certain point.

So you think my black friend and fellow 80s TMNT fan at work, who’s probably in his mid to late forties, should just die because he’s not up to date or something? How very progressive of you.

Yes, we should all strive to be more like sdp so we can be more societally acceptable.

"All human beings over 40 should die". What's your age again?

[Barkworm]

There have been times when I regretted getting into something too much. "Lost" immediately comes to my mind, years of watching the show excitedly, binge-watching all seasons in anticipation of the final episodes and then some VERY weak pay-off.

TMNT? Nah. It's mostly been a pleasant experience.

[Prowler]

No, because it gave me childhood memories and a lot of happiness when I was a kid/teen that I wouldn't trade for anything.

I was already an adult when Viacom happened and the property took a direction I didn't care for. No way I could have predicted that back when I was 6 years old in 1996 and was watching Turtle Tracks for the first time ever as FW TMNT reruns first began airing in my country.
