Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

I'm pretty bored with legacy sequels nowadays. Every major, and most minor, media franchises from my youth have been revisited in some way in an attempt to update a proven property to appeal to modern audiences. I can understand the appeal, I certainly understand the economic reasoning, but most of them fall flat to me. Works of media are of their age, and you can't just pull them out of their time and expect them to have the same impact on an entirely new generation. And most of them just remind me I could be engaging with the original, and usually much better, version.

The Last Ronin is a legacy sequel, but it's good! it's not just a continuation of the original Eastman & Laird TMNT series, it's the end. It feels very much like the stories of theirs I read back in the 90s, and it's a perfect ending to that story. Sad, sure, but also a love letter to one of the most enduring pop culture franchises of the past 40 years. After reading this I hope there are more legacy sequels intent on ending their story instead of trying to create a new, updated version with the main purpose of making more money.
