Max, a wiry teenager with an oversized TMNT hoodie and wild hair, points emphatically at a well-worn comic book. Jules, their friend, sports a vintage Turtle shell backpack and a skeptical frown. "I’m telling you, there’s a fifth Turtle! Remember Jennika? She’s totally part of the team now," "No way! The classic lineup is always four—Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael. That’s it. Jennika is just a side character,"

"Jennika got her own mask and weapons! She’s on the covers now—she’s not just background," "But the show, the movies, all the classics—always four. You can’t just rewrite history," Max slams his hand on the table, frustration etched on his face. Jules crosses their arms, clearly unwilling to concede.

Gwenpool[/@ch_3], the unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking hero, materializes amid a swirl of confetti. She wears her trademark pink goggles and a mischievous grin, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.] Gwenpool introduces herself with a dramatic flourish, her cape fluttering. "Whoa, time-out, Turtle fans! I heard there’s a debate, and I just can’t resist a good fandom feud," "Uh… Gwenpool? Is this real?" "As real as a crossover issue! Let’s settle this once and for all—with facts, feelings, and maybe a pizza-eating contest,"

"Look, the OG Turtles are legendary, but comics evolve! Jennika joined during the IDW run—she’s canon now. It’s like adding a new flavor to your pizza," "See? Even Gwenpool says five!" "But the heart of the team was always four brothers. Jennika changes the dynamic—it’s different," "Different doesn’t mean bad! Fandom grows, and what matters is how you connect with the story,"

"I guess, whether it’s four or five, the Turtles are awesome," "Yeah, and Jennika’s pretty cool. Maybe I’ll check out those comics," "That’s the spirit! Fandom isn’t about gatekeeping—it’s about celebrating what you love,"

"If you ever need a mediator—with or without pizza—I’m your gal," Max and Jules bump fists, their rivalry transformed into camaraderie. The debate over four or five Turtles fades, replaced by the joy of friendship and the endless adventures of heroes, on and off the page.
