If Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hit the spot, these will too

The difference: Less kinetic, more its own thing

The difference: Goes its own way on the wit

Kinetic where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: Leans further into sci-fi & fantasy

One thread runs through both: mutant

Common ground: nostalgic

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: 25 years apart, and the 2010s show

Wistful comedy, and it commits to that

Both lean on warmth more than on animation

Action & adventure with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Playful kids in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: martial arts
