How did you get into TMNT ?

One day, I was bored and feeling down and then I started zapping on TV. That was when I saw the ROTTMNT movie for the first time. I didn't know this version of the turtles existed, I only knew the 2012 show so it was like a whole new set of characters, basically strangers to me. At the end of the movie, I was blind blown. I grew attached to these characters so fast, I wanted to know more about them ! So, I watched Rise and came back to 2012 for nostalgia and now I'm watching the 2003 version. I found that my favorite, in every version, was Donnie.

I've always been treated as "different", a rare bird or as someone who didn't belong where I was. It was a soul crushing feeling, but seeing outcasts like me being so cool and inspiring who were having a good time despite being so different brought me a sense of belonging. 

english isn't my first language so i'm sorry for any mistakes.
