Hot take, but I think every new iteration of TMNT has something different to offer the fandom. One is not better than the other besides a fan’s personal preferences.

Like the fans of ‘87 turtles are always gushing about the pure comedic gold they had to offer.

2003 turtles gave us a darker, grittier view than had previously been in the cartoons, which is something you would’ve had to read in the comics before that.

2012 turtles combined the mood and tone of the 2003 show’s darker attitude for the villains, while maintaining a balance with the more ridiculous, comedic side of the cartoons.

Personally, I haven’t seen Rise! yet, but it’s on my to-do list, same with Mutant Mayhem.

However, from what I’ve seen on this site and in a few fan fictions, you guys seem to appreciate rottmnt’s commitment to a more modern cartoon style and tone without sacrificing the inherent voice of the characters, along with the role changes they gave to the turtles.

Fans of Mutant Mayhem seem to like the more teenager-y characterization of the turtles, having them be more relatable to the current generation of fans.

Correct me if I’m wrong on these analyses, but my general point still stands: each of these cartoons and every new version of the turtles brings something different to the table we fans feast at. Each new show brings in a new generation of fans, and each new fan brings new ideas into the fandom. That’s why TMNT as a whole had been able to keep going and producing more media for forty years now.

So instead of hating on each new version, as we are so wont to do as staunch supporters of our own personal favorite iteration, maybe we should try to find the thing that makes these new turtles so likable! What can they bring to the table that we haven’t seen before? What makes a whole new generation of fans fall in love with these turtles?

I dunno, I just think the fandom is always way too harsh with new fans and new shows (myself included, I wasn’t too happy when Rise! came out, but I’m over it now). We end up torturing ourselves over something useless, when we could be nurturing this new generation of fans to love all the turtles the same as we do.

going crazy over this new tmnt calendar bc it’s themed about the 1987 turtles but some illustrations are straight up remakes of some 2012 renders

how obsessed am I with this show to notice almost right away? No idea

While it's not really clear if the TMNT can understand other non mutant turtles or reptiles, but what if they could, and watching Nature Shows had a different reaction from them, just because they understand the critters on screen?

Whether it's just they understand the tone, or if they hear it like the turtle on screen complaining about everything around it, is up to personal interpretation.

I heard/read this concept before, but the idea that April/Casey walks up to them watching turtle videos, mentions it looks interesting, then one of them says like:

"The Softshell is telling the Slider on it's back about how another Softshell ate her mate."

"Apparently a turtle on the other side of the pond has been pooping on the good plants on purpose, and now everyone is mad,"

"While reptiles aren't usually monogamous these two are talking about how one of thems mate was coupling with their best friend."

Or on the other end (just a understand tone):

["The Softshell is annoyed at that Slider for taking their food, and it threatening to eat it."

"Is it actually saying that?" April/Casey

"No, but the sounds you probably can't hear imply this to us."]

Why I am personally ok with Leosagi AND Donsagi :)

// TW: Mention Of Proships/Incest

Ok, I see a lot of people always hating on donsagi ( some call it a ‘crackship’ I believe.) for frankly just not being Leosagi. Saying things like “It doesn’t make since” or “ Leosagi is better”.

Now Personally, I ship Leosagi. But that doesn’t mean I hate on donsagi! Donsagi is quite cute and usually projected as a nice little fluff ship. And I believe you should be able to ship who you want unless it’s not a proship/com ship or incest.

Now, when people say; “ Donsagi doesn’t make since!”. This is very true, the two are from two shows. BUT, it’s not exactly a crackship. Usagi IS part of the TMNT Universe; which is why the leosagi ship is embraced in the tmnt fandom.

Now; if donsagi is seen as a ship that makes no sense, then so should ( rise ) leosagi. Now 2003/1987 leosagi is different, because usagi is part of those iterations and lore. But Usagi is nowhere found in ROTTMNT, so your kinda be hypocritical if you say Donsagi makes no sense, when you still ship ( rise ) Leosagi, Which in sense neither ships make absolute sense.

In all seriousness, you can ship whoever you like, as long as it’s not incest/proship. But please don’t hate on people who ship Donsagi just because you ship leosagi; we are all just having fun!

( This is Not a direct attack, this isn’t intended to hurt your feelings or anything.)

Have a good day!! Hope you enjoyed my little rant lol.

Not sure if this is a direct reference to the toy or not. But Samurai Leo is one of my favorite alt outfits that they made from the 80s line.

Some of My TMNT Hot Takes (PART 2) 🔥

Warning: More Opinions

Part 1 Here

I don’t like that in Mutant Mayhem Donnie is not a “science guy” but instead is more of an anime and pop culture geek. I’m not against him being an anime fan (I love anime too) but I wish we saw more of his science and being a tech genius side instead of him just liking stereotypical “nerdy stuff”. If that makes sense.

I don’t like the Punk Frogs (any version).

The 87 crossover episodes in the 2012 series (as much as I did enjoy them & are great episodes) should not have happened. They leave no real impact or development to 2012’s overarching story and just waste time. These episodes could’ve covered more important things that 202 was desperately lacking like like character exploration and character dynamic development. It was just nostalgic fanservice. The arc in S5 specifically would’ve work better as a movie instead of a 3-4 episode arc in the (most likely non canon) final season.

Shinigami being Mikey’s second love interests ruins her character a bit (for me personally). That was a pointless decision that did NOT need to happen. She would’ve been our first recurring female character to not be a love interest, but nope!

People are allowed to like/ship Donnie x April in ROTTMNT (this is coming from someone who’s not crazy about April being shipped with the Turtles).

I ship Yuichi with 2012 Leo more than Rise Leo (still ship Rise Leoichi, but I just think 2012 Leoichi is way more interesting, plus 2012 Leo deserves a good love interest).

The humans in Mutant Mayhem look ugly af (I know that was probably an intentional design choice but still. It looks bad.)

I hate Raph x Casey (any ver). I’ve stated in part one that I don’t like Raph (any version) being in a romantic relationship with human characters and yes, that meant him with Casey. Not only that but Raph and Casey being a couple ruins their whole dynamic and iconic friendship I love so much. I’m all for friends to lovers but they are a line that should not be crossed. Not every friendship needs to turn romantic.

2012 Karai’s hair looks bad.

Fans often over exaggerate Rise Donnie’s character and badly mischaracterize him in fanfics and fan comics to the point it makes him feel like he’s an entirely different character.

Shinigami should have been revealed to be a villain.

Rise Donnie was just as mean to his brother as fans claim 2012 Raph was to his. Yes, they both do love their families and I’m NOT saying either of them are abus!ce (they’re not), but fans praising Rise Donnie for doing similar things fans criticize/hate 2012 Raph for doing just makes them hypocrites.

Venus does NOT need to be in every iteration of TMNT. It gets kind of annoying when fans keep on saying that she should be in all the other iterations when in truth her presence would not make sense based on the already established canon story. The only (recent) version of TMNT where I think her being included would’ve fit the best and deserved to make her comeback in is ROTTMNT.

The side plot of 2012 Karai being mutated and later getting brainwashed by Shredder was a waste of time and the most boring arc in the series.

2012 April, Donnie and Casey being in a poly relationship does not fix anything with their problematic dynamic and massive flaws with one another. I'm not saying you can't ship all three of them together, you do you! Idc But in reality their relationship would be a train wreck, that's why I personally don't ship 2012 Capriltello.

Renet is probably one of the most powerful allies the Turtles have in the 2012 series.

Rise Donnie would NOT hate 2012 April. He’d go crazy over her psychic powers and want to study them to help her explore them more.

From what I've seen so far, Leo x Usagi seems like the only GOOD ship in the 2003 series (this hot take might change tho).

Raph had the best character arc and development in the 2012 series and changed the most out of the four brothers. Next would be Leo. With Mikey and Donnie have little development (or none at all sadly).

GUYS THEYRE MAKING AN OFFICIAL CROSSOVER COMIC. THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL.

ISSUE 13 OF SATURDAY MORNING ADVENTURES DROPPING IN JUNE.

updates below the cut —>

UPDATE #1:

Hiya! since this is blowing up just thought i’d stick this on here. I got this info from a YT community post from teddygamingreview, a smaller channel knee deep in the comics side of the tmnt franchise that i’ve been following for a while. From what i understand this is just teaser/promo material so there’s not a whole lot of other info out yet. Thats all, cowa-fuckin-bunga dudes

UPDATE #2:

TEDDYGAMING REVIEWS CAME IN CLUTCH ONCE AGAIN WITH A BREAKDOWN VIDEO

(Most important new info takeaway that wasn’t already laid out in the previous post, in case you don’t got time to watch right now: the issue after this has some villains from the 2012 series on the cover art, implying that whatever multiverse crossover shenanigans are going on might bleed into he next issue, at least to some extent?)

youtube

UPDATE #3:

THIS ONES TOO BIG SO I MADE A SEPARATE POST FOR IT, LINK HERE:

It's so funny to me how I like tmnt not just one specific version but the whole franchise. Interacting with the fandom feels like talking about our cats to another cat lover; it's amazing.

I want a TMNT iteration crossover but with the turtles being the ages they would currently be in 2023. So you have the 51 year old 1987 turtles, 35 year old 2003 turtles, 26 year old 2012 turtles, 18-20 year old Rise turtles, and 15 year old MM turtles. Put them in a room together.

#tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #mutant mayhem #tmnt mutant mayhem #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 1987 #the 87 turtles would be OLD now #weird to think about #meanwhile the mm boys are babies still
