Same reason music hasn't. It hasn't HAD to.

Suck it up, kiddies.

What better way to churn out cheap crap for the masses than by dumbing down each generation just a bit more than the last and shoveling shit into it's maw, and calling it candy?

"Hey, you know.. that's not a very good song / production / cartoon / mix / show / whatever..."

"YOU'RE just OLD! YOU wouldn't understand!"

"Yes, that must be it...."

Heheheheheheh

Suck it up, kiddies.

Sorry that I had to be the one to break that to ya, Pita. Subgenres has broken up another fine relationship. I blame the record labels...and collectors.

We're all forgetting the main point here.

Someone remind me.

Actually, Kevin Eastman (who you may know as the Editor-in-chief of Heavy Metal magazine, and who is married to Julie Strain), and Peter Laird, the original creators of TMNT, started them in black & white. When they went color (in their comics, that they wrote), the turtles WERE actually different colors. At one point, Raphael became entirely purple-black.

Yes, and the original b/w comic was a parody of the Frank Miller graphic novel Ronin and, to a lesser extent, Miller's work on Daredevil, of which few (if any) present-day TMNT fans are aware. I've always found it odd that a way-underground sendup wound up making bazillions of dollars, while the original never made it outside of comic book circles.

Ronin is still in print, and it's great. No relationship to the movie starring Robert Deniro.

You know what was sweet, that car chase in Ronin.

Poop.

Yeah but the Sin City movie should be awesome and maybe put a few bucks in Frank's pockets. I hope it's at least better than his Robocop script.

Sin City looks to be really cool. Rodriquez did a great job of keeping a very graphic novel look to the movie.

I'll need to pick up the book one of these days before the movie comes out.

Poop.

I don't care, the original cartoon didn't have them different colors. The toys were based off the cartoon, dammit.

The original comic *was* far more mature and well-drawn, but that's what you get with comics as opposed to cartoons.
