    My love for the turtles was a strike of lighting... I was hooked in a second. I live in Bolivia and we didn't get the comics or anything back in the day, but I knew through news that they were a phenomenon. Then some toys came and as soon as I layed eyes on Mikey I was lost. The the video game at the arcades was the best (I sitll playe it regularly with my 8 year old son) and some episodes of the cartoon at the video store... The movie was the first one I bought when we got a vcr at home... I love the turtles with all my heart.

    For fictional characters that have one of the most unplausible origins, TMNT works so well. This makes this a phenomena for me. We never cared that much for it. We still loved these guys so much.

    • @franciscobello1519
      @franciscobello1519 4 месяца назад +2

      Theres a lot more to their story and it aint all rosy, much of it about being taken away from comics for decades bc the creation got too big for them to manage. It also damaged their relationship. Also the collapse of Tundra. So yes its both inspiring and a cautionary tale, but that's the best kind of history lesson.

    As a kid of the late 80s and 90s this is really cool. Growing up I had the turtles big wheel, the games, the VHS tapes, the figures. It was my generation's Pokemon. Is there a part 2 of this where they finish discussing the characters including the villains?
