Looks trash
They seem to make a new one every 2-3 years. Unless this bombs then it might be sooner.Itll probably be quite a while until we get another decent TMNT animated series!
That was true because of the UK censorship laws and rather than double animate every scene with Michaelangelo using his knunchucks replaced with the hook they just dropped them entirely near the end for the US version.Those are hideous and I don't consider this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if Raph has a different weapon.
I guess they think Sais are too violent, like how Mike didn't have knunchucks in the Red Sky series because those are illegal weapons. At least they didn't give Raph a grappling hook as a sub I suppose.
No. The Nick series moved its plot like a turtle with well-written interactions far & few between for a supposed more energetic reboot to what came before. Take the opposite of that sentence and you get this show.Nickelodeon had a great show in the 2012 series that took everything everyone liked about the franchise and stuck in a blender. Then, they showed us great shorts over the past few months--many of which were BETTER alternatives for a replacement series. But, they chose to go with this. THIS. Your five year old or those of similar mentalities may enjoy it, but otherwise completely skippable.
I thought it was ok. I like the kinetic feel to the animation. I'm still "Eh..." on the design style of the characters. I was surprised we didn't get some sort of origins story given how inexperienced these turtles seem to be even though they seem older (but dumber) than their counterparts from the last show.
Yeah, I saw the other episodes. I'm curious about Splinter since he just seems lazy, so I wondered if he taught them anything really. Donatello seems to be the best so far.The theme is magic this time. Mutagen carrying mosquitoes from some Netherworld. The big bad is their creator, Baron Draxum. They swiped their new weapons from there after realizing their, aside from Donnie's, old gear sucks. Splinter taught them martial arts through movies/television which explains quite a lot. The turtle-mobile is a tv prop taken from a repo lot. The Foot can make ninjas from origami.
