How did a violent indie comic become a $15,000,000,000 franchise?

Donatello wasn't a painter, he was a sculptor. Jussayin'

The first TMNT comic is super violent and kick ass! Maybe lasted a year or two, then it became kids stuff. I love the Richard Corben issue, though.

With luck & blessings most ideas could become billion dollar franchises

It's pretty much the same situation with 60s batman.

I wish they'd do a Ronin movie!

Today I learned the original Turtle Van was a VW Bus XD

I wonder…
What was Peter and Kevin’s opinion on Rise of the TMNT?

EASTMAN & LAIRD ARE GODS .

Good they didn't die mad at each other.

The window got me 😭

WHY DO YOU LOOK AT THE CAMERA LIKE THAT

I used to play the TMNT role playing game in the 90s... It's nothing like the cartoon it's graphic and violent.. You can make all kind of animal hybrid characters half human half dog half rat...ect And you could blend the universe with rifts and robotech .. They all used the same rules

Now I'm wishing Paramount made a TMNT biopic on these two and the franchise's rise and fall and rise again! ^^

These Guys Gave Me An Insane Childhood! Thanks For Everything. ❤🙏

I’m meet Peter 2 days ago

Why do you always have to stare into my soul?

this told as some miracle story where in Japan people just create a manga and it goes from there...

We want R rated Turtles.

Can still have the fun humour.

But I want to see foot clan heads roll.

Never red the original it legit sounds badass.

i teared up

There needs to be more love and a republishing of the OG TMNT RGP!!

this story feels unfinished idk why tho.

How did a violent indie comic become a $15,000,000,000 franchise? Turtle power thats how :P Great video, I love how in turtles forever they went back to the originals.

🧑🏻‍🎤🥷🐢

This is honestly worse than when they turn an R-rated film series into a kids cartoon

Your video is so inspirational! Keep doing this!

KIDS! I collected the comic in the 80s. once it went commercial and all kiddie show I got out. Good for them!!

Man now I want to read the originals... looks like a great start got wrecked by catering to kids

Great job with this video!!! Great research job well done🤘🏻🤘🏻

Fantastic video thank you ❤

I was born in 2001 and I fell in love with 2003 tv show.

Out of passion comes PURE MAGIC.

My only question is, why aren't Marvel and DC actually ranked only subsects of there franchises are placed on that list

As someone who bought the first issue when it came out I can tell you the best thing about the comic was the art. The black and white art had a connection to kids and made you feel like you could have drawn it yourself. The amazing story and twists when they went into space was secondary but also really good.

Yeah, so basically, they had a really great comic book, and by the time it came to tv, marketers decided they could potentially make a lot I'd toss, based off the show, so they made it more lid friendly. Also, I dont know of any other show that pushed products so hard. I'm talkin about pizza hut.

TMNT were NOT breaking new grounds in the 80's children entertainment, the Ghostbusters did it years before them. A team of four dudes who look almost identical fighting grotesque enemies to a catchy kickass theme song, TMNT felt almost derivative of that formula, even though they technically existed before GB the cartoon and toy adaptation almost certainly took cues from Ghostbusters.

Bruh, are you Blacktail studio's brother? He's a wood worker. If not, ya twins!!

why are you looking at me like that

See now this is what originality was

Johnny Sins is an amazing narrator.... you can really feel the enthusiasm and emotion in his voice

Mat sorta looks like an ai… no offense

PG rating and targeting a broader audience(aka families) is where the money's at

You look like jonny sins

I just notice in this videos that some of the flashback stories of Mikey in the "Last Ronin" comic was kind of reminiscent of the original art style of the original comic.

The 80s and 90s my life ended at 4:30 pm every week day afternoon

So wait,the last ronin contains form issue 62 of the of comics or the original 15 issues?

no offense but you look like a ai vid

Just the way it happened to the Mask
