That, and the original comics were b&w with the only other color being red. Very bloody, all four masks were red, etc. Also, Shredder straight up died in the first issue. (Splinter dropped a grenade inside the dumpster he’d kicked Shredder off a building into) Their previous styles were much grittier, frenetic, violent, but when they decided they wanted some of that anthro cartoon pie, they shifted completely. 😅 Sometimes, ya gotta go to unusual lengths to get ahead, ya know?
I thought the origin of Daredevil and the Turtles were literally the same event also? The same chemicals that sprayed DD in the eyes and blinded him ran into the sewers and mutated the Turtles.
That might’ve been a crossover thing for marketing, but the origin of their concept was the simple fact that the duo was fed up with getting passed over for some cartoony wabbit. 🤪 My favorite part of the story is that Stan Sakai’s gentle nature won the guys over, despite their initially competitive angle. 🤗
