Yoshimickster: Heh, you're probably right in your assessment. Still...it would be really depressing to still have mostly-terribly-written new 2K12 episodes half a decade from now. A soulless franchise zombie increasingly shaping the future of TMNT mythology? That already happened once from 1987 to 1996. It was a disaster to young adult Mirage and Palladium fans, and the TMNT multiverse has still never quite recovered from the sheer damage it wreaked on TMNT's reputation and mythology.

I'd increasingly have nothing in common with 2K12's later fans. Even worse, I'd still like the TMNT stuff I follow, but other fans and I might increasingly consider each other a nuisance. I've seen that happen in other fandoms as fanbases intractably split along their fault lines. It's one of the reasons it's virtually impossible to get the various Star Fox fans to get along in one place without the different fan factions descending into a bloodbath.
