LET'S SAVE RISE OF THE TMNT -

*"No stop! Don't have fun and enjoy things! This show is bad and should die because Splinter is fat and Raph is too tall and because it changes things even though every TMNT adaptation does that but this one isn't allowed to!"* Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation except the most vapid and shallow response possible.

I think fans forgotten that they hated the 2012 series before they actually saw it. But then again 2012 series was released before the DARK times, before fandoms started to lose their minds after Teen Titans Go, Thundercats Roar, Dreamworks She-Ra, etc.. So now any change no matter how necessary is now seen as heresy.

I'm sorry to say it folks and if you disagree, fine, but real "TMNT" fans aknowledge "Rise of The TMNT" as the bastardization that it is. If you're going to change something to the point that it's unrecognizable, then you should create a new IP instead.

Honestly in terms of writing, I want to throw out: Rise had a lot more of writing where the turtles... actually felt like teenagers/kids? I've always had a problem with TMNT doing a terrible job of writing sibling relationships, and teens in general, and I dunno... in previous iterations, the turtles all felt so mean to each other. I have three sisters, so I always give the series a shot when it reboots, because of the whole 4 of them thing. In Rise, they all are sorta jokingly mean, but mean in that way where you know they can all hold their own against each other? Like you really get that these _are_ 4 teenage brothers who genuinely care for each other. Also Mikey and Donnie not getting sidelined all the time in favor of the Raph vs. Leo arguments was suuuuuper refreshing. Shoutout to the 07 movie for giving B team maybe 12 lines of dialogue put together.

[@aylmao210]

YES! People has issues with 2012 version because “the turtles look and act childish” and even more so with Rise as if they aren’t y’know , TEENAGE turtles. Secondly they actually act youthful and they complain abt the rise turtles not acting mature but they weren’t even given the chance to? It’s called rise for a reason as they are RISING to their name as the ninja turtles try everyone only shits on them with absolutely zero care for what the series is trying to do.

[@ChelCM03]

I haven't watched any of the other versions but what I have been able to gather is that most of the other tmnt series' forget that the word "Teenage" is quite LITERALLY IN THE TITLE OF THE FRANCHISE. Other than the 2012 series, the other versions of the Turts feel like angsty adults instead of, oh, idk TEENAGERS???? Teens are going to be immature, goof off, and not be natural good at everything at first. Teens are LEARNING to lead, mature, and grow, and that's what Rise does.

[@redheart_future13570]

You put it into words-

[@zulephizus1212]

2 years late but I want to add that Mikey and Donnie actually being relevant is beyond refreshing. They don't even feel like the B Team anymore because Leo and Raph aren't that good, either. Plus, they totally switched up the dynamics and rivalries. Usually it's 90% Leo and Raph butting heads over decisions, and sometimes some brain vs brawn with Donnie and Raph. Mikey is almost never involved. So imagine my delight when the rivalry with an entire episode dedicated to it was Mikey vs Leo. And it was wonderful. It's not often remembered that Mikey is the most naturally gifted of the four, simply held back by his own work ethic. Natural talent vs. hard work is a very juicy dynamic, it can really go places as the boys mature. Coupled with the fact that Leo has no overt special trait (i.e. strength, intellect, talent), AND this iteration of him harboring a desperate need for attention and superiority, and I could see Leo vs. Mikey really standing up to the depth and complexity of most Leo vs Raph rivalries if it gets explored. As it turns out, most of the rivalries in Rise are Leo centric. Typically, I don't like one character receiving more than their share of attention, even if they are my favorite. But I guess it's okay because Rise Leo is characterized as very competitive, petty and childish (as a teenage boy would be), so it makes sense thematically. Also, this series just has more love and affection between the brothers, so the dynamics and rivalries don't feel so cut-throat and violent and angsty anymore, which I am a huge fan of.

[@graaaaaaaaaaaaaaace]

@@zulephizus1212 YES!! It's never too late to give Rise it's due credit in the character writing, and your analyses are spot on! Everything about the characterization just feels so... revitalizing the series. Like they saw the concepts that kept repeating and went "Cool, now what if we did this, this time?" Mikey's usually my favorite in every iteration, just cuz he was the one to be in the least amount of fights, but Leo was my fav by farrrr in Rise. Something about the dynamics Leo has with his competitiveness is just so fun, lol.

[@salvadorgarcia9897]

The switch up of the weapons is actually quite brilliant and represents the growth and flaws of the characters. Raph is a big teddy bear in this version so his weapon is probably the most blunt but represents his fiery energy by being a more up close and personal weapon. The mystic side also shows his style of fighting. Using his overwhelming size and strength in order to take down an opponent. He feels that he isn’t a good enough leader for the team which is why he takes a lot of the responsibility on himself. It isn’t until he finds confidence in himself, becomes more fiery, and trusts his friends that his weapon grows from a blunt object and a single projection to a more lethal(still blunt) weapon that can make multiple projections that he can rely on. Donnie had a bow made completely out of tech. This shows his fighting style as he mainly relies on tech to overwhelm his opponent as well as his insecurities in how he feels that his tech is all he can bring to the team. It isn’t until he realizes he is more than his inventions that his weapon becomes a more simple bow staff that he can modify with tech or just inventions from his mind. Mikey is the most simple yet unconventional of the Turtles at the same time. This is reflected in his weapon as it seems simple (a chain with a heavy ball at the end) but in reality it is very hard to wield and use. It mainly allows Mikey to work at a distance as he is very scared at the beginning. It isn’t until he starts to form more of his own voice and becomes more assertive that his natural nunchucks come back in which he can use his unconventional style from a distance and up close. Leo is arguably the most brilliant in design. The Odachi is the most complex weapon and it shows. This shows that while Leo is very goofy and a jokester, he’s still a great strategist. He might not be the most tech savvy but he is arguably the most clever, quick-witted, and best on the fly thinker. Opening all the portals and directing them to where he wants to go is not easy and requires a lot of quick thinking as well as strategic placement as well as a pre made plan. However, he mainly uses it at the beginning to show off how great he is. He mainly does this to one up his brothers instead of working with them even though he’s shown to be the better leader due to his insecurities and personal flaws. It isn’t until he becomes more of a team player, more willing to completely lean on his brothers, and finally grows into the leader he was always meant to be that he receives his iconic swords and the portal power becomes something he can share and even give to his brothers.

If you want to know why Rise of the TMNT was abandoned so quickly by Nickelodeon, it’s because the show was greenlit by a different president, and the new one was more focused on episodic, slice of life comedies (it’s also likely why glitch techs was shoved away as well). Also the movie is coming out 2021

Please give it a chance! I haven't watched the originals. I don't know what it's like to digest the different changes within Rise based off of the franchise, but I do know that more thought was put into it than just changing their characters for the sake of making things different. Raph is the leader for a reason. Splinter is different for a reason. Even the turtles being different species is for a reason. It's mostly explained as you go through the show. You have to get past episode 1, and into the brunt of the love and passion that was put into Rise. It's a decent show. More than decent, really. Amazing. You'll understand if you give it a chance.

My favorite thing about this show that makes me wish I had it when I was a kid is just how BROTHERLY they all are. There isn't just a 'smart one' and a 'dumb one' and an 'angry one'. They interact with each other like brothers do, they goof off, they have stupid nicknames, they use their names in shortform. I especially love how they are each uniquely their own special type of idiot. They have a 'smart one' character but is still uniquely dumb in his own right. It's called being a teenager, and they did an amazing job depicting just what goes through a teen's head when they have mistic weapons and unmitigated desire to be fucking stupid with your bros. I can tell you right now, when I was a teen, I did stupid shit for the sake of it just being 'for the lols', got hurt doing it, then got up and did it again because 'lol'. I think rise does the TEENAGE in TMNT the best out of any other series.

[@HogBurger]

That’s also what I love. They have actual personality and aren’t one dimensional. Leonardo is no longer just the leader who keeps everyone in check and makes sure they focus on the task at hand. Now he’s also a funny jokester. Raphael is still the angry one, but with a twist; he isn’t rude or snarky, in fact he’s more like a lug nut who cares about his brothers but also has anger issues I haven’t seen much about Mikey or Donnie but from what I can tell Mikey is pretty much the same and Donnie is still the tech guy

[@katanakiwi8832]

Donnie is still the tech guy but what happens to the tech guy when mystic powers are added into the mix?

@@TheNicMMc I mean I guess? Spectacular was more of a Batman TAS situation. Where they simplified the character designs and softened them up from the comics in order for them to be easy to animate. Just enough to be taken seriously but not too simple of looking like a standard children's cartoon. Here, Rise of the TMNT takes advantage of the fact that it's pure animation. Very Kinetic and energetic, exaggerated proportions in order to help distinguish each character's defining trait (Ralph for instance is very bulky and has a rough exterior, a very square like figure conveying the idea that he's the strongest, he holds the power in the team. Yea, Venom had that kind of design too but his design was a little problematic because he had such an exaggerated upper body while his legs didn't look like they could even support his weight and just clashed hard with Brock's design. Sounds contradictory to what i just said ik but what I'm saying is Venom's design was just a little messy since it stuck out a lot more on multiple rewatches when you look at everyone else that had a regular physique. Also the character designs sorta bugged me after a while since each body part had this weird action figure look to it where Spidey's bicep looked connected to his forearm not naturally but as if it were a Lego piece or something.) It looks cartoony, kinetic as can be, sorta gives me a Studio Gainax vibe to it. I would love to see a Spider-Man cartoon with this kind of animation/art style, it feels like it would fit really naturally and give it that comic book feel. The color palette is also what sticks out in this show too, I can just imagine how well Spidey would stand out with the colors red and blue. One can only hope given that the current Spider-Man show we have.... is... well... Not that pretty to look at. I mean it gets the job done but really lacks in a lot of places. It tries to replicate anime style but really just looks hard to look at, has little to no shading which makes it problematic to understand perspective and depth of some scenes. And action scenes fall flat, it feels like a college freshman's animation project. Also Spidey's costume just looks a little... on the amateur side.

[@salmascreativitypen4489]

I love how in this series they all act like an actual family, and they even tell each other “I love you” and call Splinter their Dad. Also, I love that subtle character development where the Turtles learn to trust and respect Splinter more, while Splinter learns to accept them for who they are. The animation is top notch too 👍. I hope Marvel could animate in this style.

Some haters just dissed the character designs with excuses like “bad art style” & “Raph is the stereotypical muscules with a tough personality” even though 1. Art style is subjective & 2. Raph is a snapping turtle (they’re already large turtles!) I’m so glad fans like you recognise excellent character design with silhouettes. Considering TMNT always had the brothers looking almost the exact same, it really is a giant breath of fresh air 😇

[@meloncholywitch9979]

I won't lie, I got teary eyed watching this review, it felt nice hearing someone say good things about this show. This iteration is the best in my eyes. The animation is so fluid, the characters many interactions with each other and different characters feels so natural, just everything your saying is what we've been saying! So many of us love Rise, we're fighting to save it, we're trying every day to get the show back and let the creators tell the story THEY wanted to tell. The show's abrupt ending came at us like a slap to the face, and our blood boiled learning the Rise crew had to cram a seasons worth of content into the 4 part season finale. They had so much planned for Rise just...they didn't get to tell it. Sorry I rambled and if this makes little sense, but I care about Rise so much, a lot of us do. Rise of the TMNT is definitely a show worth watching and saving.

[@edmilmaldonado5756]

Yeah, I totally agree. Nickelodeon has cancelled so many shows, and just when this show is having an upcoming Netflix movie. We have to boycott Nickelodeon in order for their shows to have increasing success. After all, "The Fairly Oddparents", "PigGoatBananaCricket", "Welcome to the Wayne", and "Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty" have also been dumped into the Nicktoons channel and they have suffered low ratings, all because Nickelodeon find "Spongebob Squarepants" and "The Loud House" the only entertaining animated shows.

[@karenevans3497]

Well The Fairly Oddparents ran on for 16 years and that was suffering either way the last 2 seasons proved that the show was dead, so I say they did what was right with the Fairly Oddparents. After all it had tons of chances to end back then. The same time Jimmy Neutron ended should of been the end of the line for the Fairly Oddparents. So just pretend that the Fairly Oddparents ended after season 5 back in 2006.

I’ve never seen this show, Ninja Turtles was a franchise I never got into, but I hate it when shows get cancelled for no real reason. Nickelodeon has had a habit of doing this in recent years, mostly with original shows, and it’s a huge disservice to the team who worked in them: writers, director, producers, storyboard artists, animators, actors etc. I know money is the end goal with every product, but that doesn’t mean the people behind the products are all thinking about that; some people, genuinely, want to make the best thing they can and it sucks when all that passion is thrown away because “ratings” or corporate bullshit to eliminate the show.

Honestly, this is the first incarnation of TMNT that I've genuinely liked all the way through. The characters and story were complex and fun enough to keep my attention, and the animation was impressive. I think that changing things is a good way to bring in new fans, especially if they stay true enough to the source material to keep the old ones. I think people need to give reboot shows like this a chance instead of automatically assuming they'll be terrible. I mean, lots of reboots are terrible, but at least I've come to that conclusion myself by watching them. DuckTales is another good example- I've been a fan of the classic DT since I was little, and went into the reboot open-minded. In return, I got one of my favorite shows of all time. Now this delightful version of Ninja Turtles is joining it on my list. I never thought I'd like TMNT- but BOY was I wrong. Goes to show that giving an unconventional show a chance just might be the best decision ever. #SaveRotTMNT!!

I honestly love this show. It shows a more lighthearted style to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I mean don't get me wrong the 2012 will always be my favorite out of all of them, but ROTTMNT comes a close second, because it is more magic based and more deeply layered than the others, with twists and turns where you never expect it, like Big Mama being Splinters ex girlfriend. Now I definitely didn't see that come. It's just such a breath of fresh air to the franchise that was long overdue

[@deffa429]

You being kinda harsh on 2003 Leo tho. I mean c'mon the guy literally had PTSD because of their final battle with Shredder when the turtles were ready to die and survived only because of sheer luck. He was feeling so guilty that he started to put pressure on everyone by making them train harder. In the end Leo desided that Splinters teachings are not enough and he need find more experienced master. There he realized that he needs to let go of his guilt and after months of training returned as a better fighter and leader. Sure 2012 show made him earn his role and rise showed his potential for leadership but 2003 turtles showed how hard and difficult the role of a leader really is

[@tjstarblood624]

K like At first the Rise show felt like Nickelodeon was just gonna slaughter TMNT like Teen Titans GO did to Teen Titans And the first couple episodes took some getting used to, especially since it seemed like somebody pitched their Fantasy World meets Ninja Turtles fanfic and Nick was like "LETS ROLE WITH IT!" But the show really grew on me, just like every version of TMNT has been able to. The addition of mystic powers gave the turtles another level of ability, and dimension was really given to every character even from the beginning. They didn't follow tropes, they didn't follow the usual formula. And that was really cool. So, TLDR, Nickelodeon... *If you kill this show, at two seasons, then may your studio fall to ruin with your shitty cartoons that you make these days* Also Splinter's ending line of the last season was super out-of-nowhere.

Very similar to some modern comic book adaptations this show starts out at a point where the characters are not the characters we know and love yet and uses that to tell different stories which ultimately leads to them transforming or “Rising” to those characters. The point is as the name implies this show was all about the TMNT rising and becoming the characters we know and love. It had character development and fantastic story arcs just like the best takes on the Turtles and I loved that.

What I feel this series does well is give us a very different take on the series, while also keeping the turtle's personalities in check. Underneath the comedy, their core traits still remain. Leo, while goofy, is still their leader figure, Raph is still the muscle, Donnie's their tech wizard, and Mickey is their little dude bro support. Even Splinter, who I thought I'd dislike after seeing him in episode 1, actually turned out great. He's not only funny, but a real mentor towards the turtles. And the animation, mother of god. This puts most animated shows on any network to shame with how fantastic it looks in motion, especially during action sequences. Honestly, I'd say it puts a lot of anime to shame. Don't let this show looking different deter you from checking it out. It may feel different at first, but give it a chance and you may end up loving it.

[@katpat6253]

For Casey Jones, they added him in during the movie that premiered this August. He’s awesome and plays a pivotal role for the movie and will in the show if continued.

This is one of my two favorite TMNT shows. I like this show and the 2012 show. I would love for it to keep going.
