Tatoruzu When it comes to putting away Sophie Campbell's "toys," it's probably a good thing. Also, I don't like that I used the words "Sophie Campbell" and "toys" together in a sentence — I feel gross now.
Thanks, Tat. Now I need to scrub my brain with vodka.
Gort i think it generally is a good practice. unless you have an idea for an interesting new status quo and have actively cleared it with the next writer its probably best to just make things as easy as possible for the next guy.
That may be a good formula for a lot of successful sitcoms that you plan on being on the air for five seasons where you have a “reset” and clear the board for the next episode that might have a different set of writers. But for long form storytelling, characters need to have journeys, stakes and consequences.
That being said, it’s probably a good thing that they distance themselves from the Campbell run. There where so many plot threads, mystery boxes, and redundant characters that never paid off over the course of FOUR YEARS that at this point you might as well move on and focus on a more cohesive story, especially considering the heavily decompressed nature of modern comics.
It’s Ninja Turtles, not War And Peace.
