I just wonder how much impact the new TMNT movie really had.
My oldest (about to turn 10), and his friends don't have a clue about TMNT. At least not that I see when they interact, or I talk to him. They are more involved in online play with Minecraft right now. Soccer is also a big thing with them (they play every day during recess). TMNT has never once been mentioned and I see reams of stock on the shelves at stores, which is good, but I don't know how much it is hitting kids in the target age group.
TF07 was a massive worldwide hit that sparked a new era for TFs. After that I would say the MCU was the next massive franchise for a generation. (action figure related)
I hope the movie does well but I wouldn't get my hopes up that this will be some great new era for the franchise, and frankly it is really not much more than another slight retelling of G1. I hope I am wrong.
