Because despite the ridiculous amount of effort to kill the franchise, it continues to endure after thirty years. Post Fanart, Pages, Clips, and so on.

You can also share your varied and loud opinions on any aspect of Turtledom you like.
Favorite iterations of characters, how the new show is crap, go wild.
Owen King
Did the new movie entertain you, or did it make you piss boiling black blood from your failing kidneys?
Josiah Green
Still haven't seen it.
Universe is next week. Looks promising.
Anthony Campbell
Who's your favorite official turtle artist and why?
I'm giving you plenty to talk about.
Jeremiah Jackson
Jim Lawson. Yup.
Chase Phillips
i genuinely enjoyed OotS, it was more about the turtles and less about other shit.
Although it was just are hash of the first movies plot.
I'm sad it did so poorly, i kinda want to see a 3rd film. glutton for punishment i guess.
Ian Long
how does this go from fighting thugs to space aliens
Charles Powell
For all the shit that I DON'T like about the new show, I feel this is the BEST Splinter we've ever had.
Dylan Perez
what don't you like about the new show? i'm always interested in what other people think of it.
Luke Ramirez
Cheese phone.
Wyatt Kelly
The Turtles are, most often, the result of the experimentation of aliens on Earth. Either deliberate or accidental.
As such they will, by way of learning the truth of their origins, come against many alien enemies and eventually shot into space somehow.
Where there's, more often than not, horrible Triceratops dudes who want to kill everyone.
Elijah Williams
i recently saw some of the later season stuff i'm amazed at the quality of it as i had ruled it off for using cgi but man did they make casey ugly
Parker Jones
yeah he really does have a face only a mother could love.

- Mikey's competence to incompetence ratio is WAY too low
- Casey Jones is and almost entirely unlikable jackass, instead of being a helpful hockey goon
- The turtles have been in way too many fights where luck or barely surviving has lead to a win condition over their skills or teamwork.
- THEY KEEP USING THE "SLOW DOWN TO SHOW WEIGHT OF IMPACT " CUTAWAYS! It's cool every now and then, BUT NOT EVERY FUCKING EPISODE! Which is weird since they can clearly assemble a proper top speed fight scene which we get to see almost every time Splinter and Shredder fight
Julian Flores
i can agree with all of these points.

I honestly thought they looked more like frogs.

I always love the classic
Elijah Lee
Yoshi himself
I can't buy that an ordinary rat would pick up human martial arts. Remember. the first issue was a parody.
Landon Flores
Ah, the rat. So it has a name...It had a name.
Daniel Ortiz
YOU LIE!
Jack Brooks
i completely forgot about the skirt lift and blatant panty/ass shot in the Partner is Kryme vid.
Charles Jackson
Do I?
Jeremiah Martin
Only problem is by 1987 show rules he should have become a turtle mutant himself.
They became humanoid because of his DNA, but apparently he touched a rat right after them and absorbed its DNA. What about that rat?
Angel Adams
Ah, the 80's...
Jonathan Clark
Best Shredder?
Josiah Nguyen
Last creature you touched. He touched a rat, stepped in the ooze, then picked up the turtles.
Henry Cooper

Justin Martinez

Austin Bennett
He's the pet of Hamato Yoshi. Why? Because it makes the whole feud one that goes on generations. The turtles are fighting to avenge their "grandfather", against the brother of the guy he killed. Both original parties are long dead. Adds to the world building.
Jose Scott
Agreed.
Ian Martinez
What do you think about adding fifth female turtle?
Jace Nguyen
The turtles' origin has always felt off to me (either you've got a mutant human raising four mutant turtles, or a mutant rat being a wise old Japanese ninja for no reason), so the version I like best is "Splinter and the turtles are reincarnations of Yoshi and his sons".
Jack King
If they must. Just don't do the whole "not really siblings, so it's fine to bang her" thing again.
John Mitchell
it didn't work back in the day and it won't work now. other female characters are more than welcome, but it has been and always should be 4 turtle brothers.
Ryder Lee
It doesn't HAVE to be a Turtle...
Charles King
Shit idea. Messes with the group dynamic and feels unbalanced.
Adding a second group of four female turtles, on the other hand, is a great idea. And you don't have to stop the turtles being brothers if you want to insert romance plotlines!

No, it was the rats. That split second where his feet touched the ooze his mutation was decided. Then it didn't matter if he touched the turtles or not.

I liked it well enough. It was a solid 7/10, which in today's movie summer is near-masterpiece. It's a shame it bombed, it would've done pretty well had it been the first of the series I'm sure. I still would've rather seen Max Landis' treatment filmed, because I'm a colossal faggot.
Dominic Ortiz
Is Alopex a good character?
Julian Young
Not good, not bad, just kinda there.
Leo Reed
Oh wow, somebody drew fanart of her toy from the baggy-ass shorts subline.
Cameron Scott
Venus x Screwloose is such a crackship I can't help but admire the creator, but in Fred Wolf-izing Venus' design, they made her face look waaaay too much like Leonardo.
William Clark
Good times. The Archie Comics were pleasantly out there.
Angel White
I HAD
SUCH HIGH HOPES.
Andrew Wilson
coulda been great
Gavin Hernandez
And those high hopes were exceeded, no?

This too.
Robert Hughes
I like this
Daniel Cooper
To the main group? No, that was always the problem - the core four should always be that. But nobody complains about Slash or Tokka existing. I guess what I'm saying is, Venus should slot into the "honorable Foot Clan warrior woman" role if they ever wanna bring her back.
Zachary Ross
I can't decide if I like or hate the Japanese ghost hair, but overall that is a great design. Looks like an old-school Resident Evil boss.
Thomas Wood
Kraang Sub-Prime is no excuse for the r34 artists to be slacking.

Ken Mitchroney was my favorite growing up since it conveyed the cartoony designs of the 80s.
Before Adventures came out I bought a lot of the main title which confused the hell out of me since for a huge stretch there was nothing but fill-in guest artists. MIchael Zuli was the one that blew me away out of all of them.
From the IDW title I like Sophie Campbell for almost everyone but the main four. Her version of the turtles skew just a bit too young for me sometimes. I dig Cory smith and Dialynas.
Wyatt Young

Chase Fisher
Hey remember
A) That time Mikey fell in love with Regenta the Triceraton
B) How the creator of the character Ninjara was like "fuck the turtles" and Archie comics made up some other wolf/dog girl thing for Raph to be in love with?
Hudson Gray
This issue is just more reason for why Alopex is a shit character. If she's not Kitsune's pawn she's Raph's cock holster for shippers to SQUEE to. Really it would have been great if Angel alone did that task of bringing Alopex back. Got to justify why such a terrible character is worthwhile and a good friend of Alopex, but nah let's stick shipping Raph in there.

Connor Gray
What's your favorite villain except the Shredder?
I like IDW's Rat King.
Brody Cook
The designs aren't bad... They're just too realistic.
Brody Williams
Not quite. Ninjara was gonna come back in Forever War. Somehow.
As for the new girl...it's 100 years later. It was inevitable.
