Back for Absolutely No Reason?
Can someone explain to me why Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the subject of a new film? It seems that these four masked turtle-boys are a product of the 1980s. By the time my now 14-year-old son was born, the world had moved on to Power Rangers and all the other mass-merchandised fare of the mid-1990s.
So, who would be interested in this product of the Regan-era? I understand there’s a slight resurgence in popularity for the characters, but are there really legions of followers?
Seems to me that we recycle so much that doesn’t deserve a second life. My kids grew up without TMNT and I don’t think they suffered too much.
