some surprisingly in-depth sci fi worldbuilding for me at the time i read it, and personal dramas that i probably hadn't experienced but that felt relatable nonetheless.
i can vaguely remember the very over-the-top TV adaptation that nickelodeon made, you have to wonder how many kids were put onto body swapping fiction by this stuff...
attached pic is not my favorite one or anything, i just liked the way bug boy looks

I love weird media! Anything strange and weird and odd is my favorite.
Starting off, the game Psychonauts. You play as a young boy at a summer camp training to be a Psychonaut- someone who explores people's subconscious for various reasons (to help them, to gain information, etc.) The graphics are incredible and the story is very funky.
Jack Staubers Opal. It's only a very short film, you can find it on adult swim's youtube channel, but it's stellar! Claymation, music, weird psychedelic dream-like sequences, and lots of representstive story telling. You really have to dissect it to get the most out of it. It's great.
A better known one, but The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Easy to obtain either through emulation or a remake on a more recent console (I think the Switch has one). Very odd and off-putting ambiance in general, plus really creative story and mechanics.
This is vague, but bear with me. A lot of old Slavic animation, stop-motion for the most part. I can't remember names for the life of me (and most are in languages I don't speak!), but you can definitely find lists online. Lots of surreal concepts and weird, but not explicitly horror, visuals.
Repo! The Genetic Opera: a very strange movie, a little underfunded for their vision i think, but a very fun watch nonetheless. See Paris Hilton's face fall off! Jokes aside, it's a really cool concept, and it's visually very impressive even if the writing is a little underwhelming at times.
I can definitely keep going, but I think that's good for now LOL. I hope you find something awesome!

being into TMNT as an adult rocks (in moderation).
the comics, the movies (except the michael bay ones), the toys (awesome)
the OG comics are all dark and awesome and crazy and awesome also
