This new Turtles show is hilarious. I take it as an absurdist action comedy, with super emphasis on comedy. I like it. People are taking this show too damn seriously. Which is the problem. This new show isn't serious. It's insanity.
Agreed
Frikkin finally
So like chowder or flapjack?
Agree
@@raptorfae.6645 Think of it like Teen Titans and not a Teen Titans Go kinda show. Unlike TTG, ROTTMNT could be stupid at times but not annoyingly stupid. It makes you fall in love kinda stupid.
*APRIL O'NEEEEEEEIIILLLL*
"Oh my god she just ran in!"
10/10
April: *attacks Baron’s henchmen*
April and Mikey are my favourite characters of Rise of the TMNT because they're both funny and very lovable.
Just remember, it's called "RISE of the tmnt" so yea, it's ok that the team hasnt quite figured out it's own dynamic, they fight like untrained ninja noobs and April might become a reporter later on as well. And of course that means there's no Shredder yet, etc.
In one episode they even looked for noob level crimes in the newspapaper to get their hero feet wet.
But even the personalities are way off so how does that work?!
@@alio6051 Honestly, that isn't exclusive to Rise. The personalities change a little in every generation.
in '87, Raphael was kind of a snarky jerk. 2003 and 2012 have the anger issues. In 2003 Donnie is more calm as a scientist whilst 2012 is more neurotic with a real obsession with April.
This version is a little different also due to circumstances. 2003 and 2012's turtles were raised by a Splinter who knew of the dangers outside. 2012 went to the logical extreme where they were raised like he was or, more likely, like how he thought he was.
Rise though has a Splinter who ran away from a home that raised him like a pig for slaughter to the Shredder and had pretty much gotten some form of PTSD from his time enslaved by so many. In this version, they're raised as kids first in a New York that would just think they were actors or cosplayers rather than the small town 2012 was. That's why they refer to Splnter as "Dad" unless they're on a mission or training.
Dude, i finally watched this show. I'm upset that you didnt mention how they made Donnie. the. f**king. man!!
He's hilarious and a beast
I know, right? I'm chuffed because he's my favourite turtle! I 💜 Donnie!
Donnie is comedy *gold.*
Yeah, this show made me full simp over Donnie 😂💜
@@shinji-kun6753 I personally favored the 2012 Donnie, but the new one has charm I guess. ^^
First time I favored Donnie ever!!
As someone who got into the show two years late, it's so sas to hear people say things like let's see where it goes. It wasn't even given a chance since the company treated it so poorly. I love rottmnt so much, and I wish it wasn't cancelled so suddenly or soon
I am about to start watching too
Their making a movie
WERE GETTING A MOVIE MY BOY DONT WORRY
It was canceled because it was sooooo bad
I was a good movie (.3.)/
Can we at least admit that this series has some of the best animation we've seen in a long time?
I think the art style is a little bit weird but you are right it does have great animation and I think that I’m coming around actually just deciding that I’m gonna like this show I’m gonna watch it and I’m gonna like it and I’m just gonna try to enjoy every single Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show or movie that there is
I was very impressed with how they kept Rapheal's abrasiveness and 'brutishness', but he doesn't exude and aggressiveness or bullying behavior. He's just a super nice guy who'd I'd like to hang out with!
It's alright, except for Splinter. After how good the 2012 Splinter was, this one really bothers me. Anyone else?
This New version of splinter reminds me of a bum.
I felt better about Splinter after seeing him in the second episode when he kicked his sons' shells...big-time! O_O
Yeah I'm not sold on this Splinter either.
Yeah the new shows basically tmnt go
How dare you I'll not tolerate anyone speaking badly about my gremlin rat son. Is he a bum? Yes. Is a gremlin? Yes. Is he perfect? HELL TO THE YES. Don't @ me. But seriously if you're not a fan of new splinter i get it may take some time getting used to. But i still love the round rat man.
The animation from this series reminds me A LOT of Kill la Kill, which is certainly not a bad thing. And the art style is amazing.
My only issue with the show so far, is that with the exception of Donatello, the personalities aren't quite as distinct from each-other as other series.
I think Raph is meant to be the hot-blooded leader; good at thinking on his feet and being spontaneous, whereas Leonardo is the the more careful planner, and the leadership will alternate depending on the needs of the situation.
DakNJaxter for me the art us one of its weakest areas or rather the animation is disjointed
I disagree with Donnie, by thats probably because I commenting a year after you wrote the comment and some of the Donnie-velopment.
Haha get it? Because it has donnie instead of de-

I’m kinda hoping for a huge arc involving the Shredder that will turn Leo into the leader, maybe sparking rivalry between him and Raph. Anyone else?
@@cringenetwork3962 I agree, I don’t really feel comfortable seeing Raph being the leader plus I think that idea could be interesting if it’s executed right
"And I thought Purple was the funny one!"
"purple was the funny one"
"*purple was the funny one*"
If splinter can;t recall one of his sons names they wrote him wrong
p u r p l e
Splinter apparently doesn't use the Turtles' names in this version, he calls them by their colours. It may be he's just an a-hole, but I like to think he's waiting for them to earn his respect - like they'll do something really heroic later and he'll surprise them by using their names.
100% agree!!!!
Nerdzlybees Base lmao tried to bold but failed
He does it to mess with them, the latest episode shows that he loves them deeply, but as he says he finds it hard to adapt to single parenthood
I kinda like the more clumsy, funny/sarcastic Leo. He is one with his brothers and not aloof and above them like 2003 Leo.
he should be, he is older
By a couple seconds? Please, he’s a teenager, I fail to see why people are so mad that he is acting like one 😭
i like how regardless they still sneak in a lot of depth to him, sure he puts on this front that he is the cool one or the face of the group, but you can see his insecurities of not feeling useful to the group because he is not in that leadership role.
Before Leo always had the burden of being a leader, but now he doesn’t have it, and instead is forced into a role in the group that is more than just that. Also love how he is naturally gifted at leading and has the best instincts in the group, the creators know Leo is the better choice for leader, but that doesn’t make it the right choice yet- which is why in the finale and going into this movie it will tackle that slow build up of Leo’s personal journey and having him as the leader instead of Raph.
@@eduardonarvaez2086 Raph is the oldest in rise, from what I know - that’s why they made him the leader
I know this is a old video made before the full season but my god dose it nail a sense of family. They way the turtles act like real siblings. I am a big fan of splinter as well, I really like that he’s more of a loving dad just as eager to dunk on his kids as they are to him. You can really see where they get there playful nature from. I get the whole teacher student thing but I like seeing him being a Dad first. And splinter doing dad things, while cringy, you can’t say is not dad like.
And his back story OMG it shows why he is making him not a bad splinter if you actually think of how he became the person he is
About splinter I get it why people might not liked him at the beginning but now that we know his story think of it he s literally at the lowest part of his life he has reached literal 0. And as the series goes you see how he s developing for the better!
Can't agree more w this :) I think the early eps w Splinter were really just setup and that's why his personality is so stark compared to previous versions - the creators knew what they were doing and were ultimately building towards a payoff w that. S1 was epic and I loved how the Splinter "reveal" was played out. I think this show suffered more from Nick not really knowing what to do with it besides their initial promoing.
The Peanuts movie was a solid reboot of the Peanut franchise, and Smurfs the lost village was the smurin' best.
Agreed!
Oh yeah, love the Peanuts movie!
Gary Bradley Smurfs was boring and derivative
Peanuts was excellent though
Andre i want to hear your thoughts on the muntant apocalypse episodes please
I actually liked this version sooo much. Grew up watching 2003 and 2012- and yeah those are awesome, but RiseTMNT is so funny and they actually feel like teenagers. I think it’s the opposite of the 2012 one and it’s working for me lol
Cool
Reboots I liked: tmnt 2003, tmnt 2012, thundercats (2010?), he-man 2003, Sonic X, DuckTales 2017 looks good but i haven't seen it yet.
Can't think of too many more reboots period.
theTerrabull Voltron Legendary Defender, Castlevania, Spectacular Spider-Man, And etc.
I just wish splinter was more intimidating. Taller, thinner and more like the 2012 version.
Edit: It seems a lot of you missed the joke. lol. :)
Edit 2: I'm more impressed this was taken so seriously. 😏
If he was anything other than lazy butt would have been good.
Just actually watch the show he has character development and we get to see his past as to why he is the way he is. Like he literally lost his life as a human pretty young and then had to buck up and learn to care for the turtles
@@zeoranger4green313 Still the 2012 Splinter had really good character development too.
@@kiwiangeldust6912 Yea, but we got a few seasons with him to see it while rise is still in it's early stage setting up a bigger plot, and path for the characters. Just trust the show, it's from the same studio as tmmt 2k12 so it's gonna be good like it's predecessors, we just gotta wait n see where these characters go, just like how we waited to see his tmmt2k12 n 2k3 we're gonna be like
Mr. Hexalia nah, I like the change. 2003 and 2012 had great splinters, but it’s time for something new
Nah, I'm not going to agree with the Splinter thing. He is lazy, just because he can get up to beat his kids does not mean he's active. Homer Simpson is lazy and I don't think anyone can keep up with him in some of the things he does.
I think he really don't like them and don't care for them
I promise you splinter from rise is very similar to the ancient one from 2003... I hated him at first but hes becoming a very interesting character.
@@Darthvader-vdr this just proves you havent properly watched it, and if you have when then your a joke
I actually like this interation of Splinter he has a very fatherly love to the turtles and I do love rise of the TMNT because of the characters my favourite character is Mikey and April because they're both funny and lovable but I do miss the 2003 Turtles.
He's easily the most fleshed out character in the show once we learn that he was Lou Jitsu.
I actually think that the 2012 series was an amazing reboot. I even kinda thinks it's one of the best cartoons of all time ... if not the best.
And Even if it's not really a reboot I consider that Extreme Ghostbusters was a good reboot too.
Wat. Do you only watch nostalgic cartoons?
Steven Universe overshadows it entirely and it’s not even better than things like the Simpsons(if you want to get technical seasons 2-8) or as much as I hate to say it, Avatar.
This series is like the 2004 Teen Titans series(the good one) it’s funny, has some moments of action or serious episodes throughout with sprinklings of horror esque elements, it’s more anime inspired, it’s like literally the teen titans show everybody claims they wanted but they aren’t giving it the chance to get to story telling. That’s why I compare it to old teen titans and Steven Universe. Both those shows were pretty weird and episodic and sporadic in their first couple seasons with a “serious” episode thrown in here and there until it gets to the point it has to be plot driven because all the world building has been done.
I miss the 2012 one
Avatar IS the best watch your mouth
My opinion the ending of 2012 tmnt sucked
@@mariekano9730 No, tmnt 2012 is much better
Splinter's character development in this show is *chefs kiss*
He went from being my least favorite part of this show, to one of my favorite!
This reboot has been my favorite TMNT so far, I find it so charming and endearing and the animation is fantastic and the characters are 😙👌 it is very different from other TMNT’s but honestly that’s what I enjoy about it, it’s not so far off I don’t recognize it, but it’s also giving new and interesting things (like villains or plot twists) that I couldn’t even begin to predict based off of other TMNT adaptations. Plus I really enjoy how much the boys and splinter are more like a family in this one, and turtles are definitely more “teen” which again, I just find endearing :) I’d love to know what you think about it now that more episodes are out!
TMNT 2012 & 2003 Awesome Reboots
Amen my dude, amen
Agreed
2012 was trash
@@angelotugade4863 lmao you've got to be kidding
@@angelotugade4863 100% Agreed. 2003 was the best
This show isn’t for me. I tried to watch it, but it’s so far from TMNT that it just bothers me watching it. It’s so obviously for kids. I loved the 2012 series, that was a great version IMO. I hope one day Nickelodeon realizes there is an adult audience for TMNT.
Maybe one day this kids television network will cater to adults.
Of course it is for kids it's a cartoon
benjamin hunt yeah ‘cause cartoons are only for kids. I should have said this show is obviously for toddlers lol 😂
I can see where you’re coming from, but Nick knows there's an older audience - that's why the brilliant IDW series exists -there's no need to knock them for that. It's the same thing with Korra and Image.
(Fans who want a show for teens have the 2003 show mostly.)
Benitha Bonthuys that’s the same thing that everybody says...they always say older fans have the “IDW Comics”
IDW is cool, but those are books not TV or movies. Just imagine if Batman, Superman, or even Marvel characters were only ever geared towards little kids. You would have never had the Dark Knight Trilogy, Burton movies, MCU movies, none of that. Think about that, then you can understand where long time fans are coming from. Times are changing, collectors, comic fans, and long time fans want and deserve something better. It’s been 28 years since we had a great TMNT movie for all ages.
This guy has to be the biggest turtles fan in the world. I love the tmnt (especially the IDW series) but I feel like this guy loves em more than any of us. He just gets so excited when he talks about them. Also he's capable of excepting different art styles, which I respect.
When I first heard of it I was so exited "Oh my gosh, different species of turtles and different designs, SO COOL!" "Raph is the leader? Can't wait to see how that plays out!' And then I saw it, and thought the camaraderie and comedy was pushing it, and I was not cool with splinter. But I got used to it, and I now love the new concepts it gave. Its uniqueness is fun, and weird, and they talk like a lot of kids their age. They way it spoke to the audience in reality was in their 'young-having-fun' aditude. It's very relatable in that sense, I like it.
You said "nothing brings people together like animaniacs references"
Me "SOOOOOOOO TRUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"
Personally, Michaelangelo and Donatello are my favorite Turtles, but I don't like them in the series. Mainly Donatello's dialogue. It sounds too millennial for him. My favorite in this series (not that I really like it) is Leonardo, mainly because I like Ben Schwartz' voice. I'll stick with the 2012 one, thanks.
Jay Gilbert funny thing is technically millennials age 21 to 36. Teenagers are generation z or the I generation and find most millennial speak cringey just like Gen X. Millennials the middle generation that is just trying too hard and embarrassing themselves.
Jay Gilbert they sound like Michelangelo clones
@@ghostnight845 yeah.
Leo’s voice is nostalgic cause I watched Randy Cunningham 9th grade ninja and it brings back so many memories
Same Here
Andre, where are your reviews for the last of the Tales of the TMNT episodes?!
And, I also hope you do a retrospective on the TMNT 2012 series someday, cus I remember your first video talking about your thoughts on that series when it first came out.
I remember him freaking out when they said I'm outy 5000 on show
Oh hey man
ditto
Ayy
How because everytime I see a well know youtuber in a comment section there’s someone freaking out about it.
Good reboots? Well, Ducktales, Thundercats 2011 and Voltron come to mind ;>
As for this Version of the Turtles... not my cup of tea, guess I'll wait for the next version.
Aragon Tigerseye almost misread the 2011 and started to get pissed
there is no next version
The Worm Character is my favorite...
His animation, mannerisms, voice. I want to see more of him, he cracks me up
Warren is amazing! Really sad they dropped him so quickly, only being reduced to background cameos.
Maybe I am just too old for this, but in my opinion, everything was just too fast. Like they were trying to lunch everything they could at you and there are no moments for pause.
Aurora Piaggesi they simply should have made the episodes longer so it doesn’t comes off as cramming as much as possible in the timeslot
As a teenager, I can say most shows are like that nowadays. Plus, it’s a pilot, so they’re trying to show all that the show can offer in a short time slot.
your old
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury definetly
@@henryclark2479 you're*
The best cartoon reboots which I'm pretty sure didn't have most of the fandom crying were
1. TMNT 2003
2. He-Man 2002
3. Thundercats 2011
Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, Justice League, Yu-Gi-Oh S2, etc.
Thundercats reboot is so awesome I have all the DVDs but I'm afraid to finish watching them all
Splinter was the only thing I didn't like about the series.
Splinter's Design reminds me of Jake Long's grandfather, mixed with a little of Mortymer Mouse
The Creator of rise of the tmnt trying to make splinter cartoonie it take alot of brain storm
Rise was not ok. It was fantastic, I can't believe it got cancelled but we got a movie coming!
Does this show get better?
@@Dudee699Yes it does, what I did was go in waiting for a fun comedy, it delivered but also gave some nice surprises.
@@Dudee699 Trying to avoid spoiling anything specific, the show is called "Rise of the TMNT" for a reason. It's about a version of the turtles that start off as bumbling idiots but grow into characters easily worthy of the series legacy.
The animation starts good and only gets better and better. Some of the best I've ever seen and as someone casually learning to animate I've learned a lot about how to sell speed and impact by closely studying how it's done in this show.
The turtles themselves feel very different from most versions but retain the core of their positive traits and flaws, in a different way. Leo still has problems with pride, insecurity, Raph is hot headed and easily frustrated etc.
Part of the show is actually proving why the new dynamic doesn't work and building toward a more traditional one through believable development.
The show knows exactly what it wants to be and where it wanted to go. Just look at the trailer for the movie. The moment where they declare themselves "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is the first time they are ever referred to by that name in this continuity in universe as a massive payoff to the show's entire arc.
It goes very weird but very faithful in subtle ways. The show is a lot smarter than it might look at first.
I'm all for new TMNT series, I loved the original series, loved 2012, and personally I think 2003 series is best series to date, but I don't think this series is really for me. Like you there were things I liked, like the animation, but some things I really don't like, such as Splinter's characterisation and the seemingly unnecessary changing up of the leadership role in the group. I'm not again changes, I just wish the story telling was a bit better here and made the changes feels organic and make sense. Certain things such as the 'mystic' weapons just felt thrown into the first episode and didn't have any meaning or impact behind it. I will continue to watch and hopefully it grows on me or I get more comfortable with the things I wasn't really feeling.
My only concern for this show is the continuity, will it have a continued story line at some point or will it just be a villain of the week thing. That's like my only concern so far, as I am liking it so far I'm just waiting for the story line to pop up.
Legit this is one of the reasons i like you, you dont freak out everytime theres a new reboot. You're reasonable. I appreciate it.
To me as a person who isn't/never was that big of a fan of the Ninja Turtles at all. I have to say that I find this recent version of it be pretty fine actually. Yes it's does has a couple of flaws here and there but I think that can be improve the more episodes it will have down the road, I don't get why some people where making a big deal out of the art style for; to me personally I really like how its looks It's reminds me a lot of how some cartoons series from the early to mid 2000s use to have this sort of blocky, sharp, edgy kind of line work to them during then. I think how some so-called grown people that get so bent out of shape when its comes to the whole "it ruin my childhood oh no" can get too ridiculous and immature, not everything is going to be made for you alright & you can always rewatch old shows or cartoons from when you where young anytime. Let a new generation have their own thing instead of acting like everything have to be cater to you mainly.
I don't know why, but I wanna see a video game done entirely in this art style. Not a ninja turtles game, but a new 2-d hack and slash platformer that uses that angular style.
Cole Costie We all know they are going to make one eventually. It would be awesome. I love the Turtles’ design.
Cole Costie That would be awesome. I can just see the bright colors, the crazy acrobatic style, and even hear the psychedelic music. Good idea!
This seems like it would fit a Nintendo game.
That would be cool.
try shank and mark of the ninja
I love the 2012 version better
Yaaaaaaaaaassssssss
Me too
yes
Me too
Nah I like the 1986 version
There's a lot of things in this show that I find really exciting! I love the turtles' new designs, I think it's really cool that the show branched out and gave them totally different body types after we've had a lot of kind of same-y looking turtles, and basing them all off of different species of turtle is an amazing touch. Along with the designs, I like their new dynamics. I'm most familiar with the 2012 series, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but it feels like Mikey often gets the short end of the stick and ends up as just a comic relief character with not much development. I think this new direction with making him a kind of sensitive, artistic soul is really cool. I also think it was a smart move to move Leo out of the leadership position, because it gave him more freedom to have more personality. Before, Leo was always kind of stuck in this role of "leader" so strongly that he never stood out as much as the others, who all had gimmicks and quirks that made them people's favorites. This new relaxed, confident, happy Leo seems really cool to me.
The show does feel extremely rushed, though, and moving straight into episodic stories without any more explanation bothers me. I'm hoping that this is a show that will grow with time, and I'm hoping that it will grow on me some more. All in all, it's a new universe of turtles, and I'm glad that it's out there and that the story is continuing. I love this chance to see a brand new take on a show that's so important to me!
Rachel Sarchet Excellent put! I couldn't agree more with what you are saying. This show has a lot of potential, I love their designs and new dynamics, and you really hit the nail on the head concerning Mikey and Leo! For the first time in turtle history I actually really like Leo (grew up with the 87' series so yeah, old turtle fan here).
Could not agree more!
I LOVE THIS SHOWW, can't believe it was cancelled 😭please come back rottmnt!
Rob Paulson is a great person real life I’ve met him twice now
Robert Manning I'm gonna meet him this Saturday at Boston Comic Con!
xXGhoulishNinjaTurtleXx that’s awesome
The plot is a bit too simple for my liking, and I'm still not a fan of some of the voices and a few of the designs.
But holy shit, the animation is 🔥! This is easily some of the most fluid and dynamic animation and movement I've ever seen in a modern cartoon. I honestly want to watch the rest of the show just for the animation and art style alone.
Also, the opening theme is catchy as hell.
BattleUp Saber the fight scenes were pretty dope, but then they killed it when they showed splinter
BattleUp Saber TMNT has always been simple, you sound like a hypocrite
I agree. I have a feeling that the series will grow with time because the dedication is their. You can't make fluid animation like that without dedication.
its about turtles bitch
Duck Tales is by far the best cartoon reboot, it just might be better than the original
Oh hell no I rather sit through teen titans go bruh
Marina Syndulla fax
Might? I think it’s better than the original in every way.
I enjoy the reboot more than the original
Meh; it's got some things right (like introducing the Magica-Leena arc, which I thought was really a great addition), others wrong (some characters - like Gyro - were invariably turned into assholes; they awkwardly destroyed the triplet dynamic of the nephews, which was their _thing_ ) - and it still suffers from one big problem from the original DT: while it acknowledges some things from the Barks/Rosa comix, it still tries to reinvent the wheel instead of just adapting their canon. I think 2K18 is a better example - it clearly looks like a reboot from the Bay flix >w
I really like the idea of the foot soldiers being origami. It’s very Japanese and it allows for unique visuals.
That first episode did have too much "funny". To enjoy a joke you've got to let it sink in.
Tell that to the older Simpsons or rick and morty.
Loved this 1st episode. Could've been way worse. Could've been decking the halls with pepperoni
RandomBlackGamer wait
To answer the question which reboot i like today that is better from the past i would have to give the award to Voltron!! Netflix nailed it good with this and happy to see they still adding new seasons.
RandomBlackGamer i agree, could've been way worse
As someone who was all too ready to roast the series(and was really irritated at the fact that it came way too soon to the predecessor) I really loved it. Yeah, some of the jokes were corny and I wasnt completely sold on Mayhem. BUT THOSE FIGHT SCENES THO. I love this series and am excited to see where it'll go. I love the art style(Andre hit the nail on the head with that Black Dynamite Reference, although I was kinda thinking of that old show on DisneyXD Motorcity) and have now become a fan.
RandomBlackGamer I got that reference lol
2003 tmnt was a GOOD reboot show.
Maybe for you
i agree
@@aimejavelin1967 ok
When you asked the question at the end, I almost shouted DuckTales 2017 reboot
Ditto. The latest DuckTales is an absolute phenomenon. I was a huge HUGE fan of it back when I was a kid, and the new series makes my 30+ year old heart flutter with the same excitement and whimsy as when I used to watch it in my youth.
Theagames10 Wonder what a crossover would be like, cause a voice actor does both Leo and the blue shirt one (Dewey I think)
Ducktales is some kind of miracle
Yep. Way better than it had any right to be and is so awesome for it.
I don't like the DuckTales reboot.
Casey Jones is what I wanted and NOT what I wanted and I can't hate the fact that I love it
Andre the series just ended, I would love to know your thoughts
IMO 2003 TMNT was the best reboot or "Take" . The 2012 was very good too(Its my 2nd fav of TV TMNT)
James Ignatius 2003 was the closest to the comics. 2012 probably had the best plot though
Pretty much the same for me. Loved the 2003, but I'm totally on board with this and the 2012 show. Anyway, a lot of ”hate” is coming from shippers and that will fade.
I liked the 1987 series, and love the 2012 series.
I'm with you, Andre. Give us the complete 2003 series on DVD or Blu-ray. That's my favorite Turles reboot.
I don’t care what people think of any show. So long as you love it. Also let’s not forget what people thought of TMNT 2012 before it started
And what people probably thought before TMNT 2003 came out
Though really - 2K12's first two seasons did suck compared to the latter ones

Funny, i get recommended right after the series finale. Thanks youtube, im watching this video with tears in my eyes.
From the future here! Absolutely love Rise and sad Nick pulled the plug. SUPPORT THE MOVIE
Rise is Eh. Wasn't made for Me and I don't like it. 2012 series took some adjustment, but i can't see Rise Winning Me over. But if people like it, cool. Much better TMNT stuff out their. Kind of shocked to hear the entire 03 Series is not fully on DVD or Blue Ray. Crazy.

The 2003 series is on TH-cam.
I don’t mind that it’s pure comedy like the 80’s but I think I’m just the kind of person that prefers when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tries to be dramatic and complex because it’s a very interesting concept, despite how silly it is
Wandering Huntress i see that and agree with your views. Maybe(hopefully) it Will get there
The only time it was dramatic was in the 2003 series
557deadpool have you seen the 2012 series?
Wandering Huntress yes
Are you interested in the comics perhaps? The IDW comics for TMNT might be what you're looking for.
Transformers Prime is probably the best instance of an old property getting a face lift that actually does better then the original; hell even 'Transformers Animated' before it was awesome, the art style made it look a bit to kid friendly but it let them do some pretty awesome action.
wolfclaw719 As a Transformers fan, I agree whole-heartedly. But also, in the same vein of this topic, it’d be the new Voltron series.
I wish you did episode recaps for this
If we do get a crossover, I really hope we get 2K3 before 2012 and 87
I saw an episode of this series, it wasn't terrible but it could've been better:
Some things i don't like about this show are: Splinter's personality (he's an @$$hole) and the turtles are not good fighters like in other versions (but i can forgive that since it makes them look like they're still in training and i have hopes they'll become better in future episodes)
Other than that, this show is decent, this deserves a chance unlike other reboots that are on air
I agree with you
You're right. Ep. 2 shows that this version of the turtles are not the established crime fighting turtles in previous versions. They're just a bunch of well.... teenage mutant ninja turtles having fun with a desire to be heroes but lack the training. It is called /RISE/ of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a reason.
I dunno if I'm not the only one but I like this version of Master Splinter. Sure it threw me off but I realized that I'd like to see this Splinter develop just as much as the turtles. In the older versions, Splinter was already established as the wise sensei so I'm interested to see if ROTMNT will explore more into Splinter's character and will slowly develop him into the sensei we know him to be. A Splinter character arc for this show is just filled with so much potential.
I agree with you, but personally don't like leo's character either. I'm fine with him not being a leader but he just felt too much like a 2nd mikey which isn't leo's character at all.
they not goin to be perfect at the beginning
Dude, I freaking love your content. Good job on all the content recently. Nice vid too!
There was one reboot that really satisfied me, ticked all the boxes, and made a phenomenal show. It was Thundercats. Too bad they marketed it poorly and it failed after one season. Fortunately, there's another reboot that has fared much better that really excited me, and that's Voltron. I'm amazed by what that series has been doing.
As for Rise of the TMNT, I felt mixed feelings about it. One thing for sure, it was definitely nice to look at.
I love how April is black in this series it just fits better anyone else think so.
Actually.. yes. I do. It's a pleasant and delightful change that I rank next to Jimmy Olsen being a black make and a buff bad ass in Supergirl. :)
Also. She is just dripping with Charisma.
@Denzel Dubois not every character has to be white.
@@sheabutter3260 but she is originally white
@@apolloman1608 so was Jimmy Olsen and Ariel from the Little Mermaid, but here we are. With other interpretations. So. Like I said, not everybody has to be white.
I know I'm late but these are my opinions on this series (if you don't like it ignore it and keep scrolling):
1. There some episodes where I'm intrigued and then there are those episodes that just make me very embarrassed that I watched this in the living room for everyone to eventually hear...
2. Raphael as the leader is totally fine with me because he's always been my favorite of the four, although I still love all of them
3. I completely respect what they are trying to do regardless of how cringe I get from watching some episodes
4. There points where this show gets a way too goofy for me, maybe it's because I'm so used to the 2012 series serious yet still has some comedy tone
It's ok, the series is ok, pretty forgettable, but it's fine. Will it please the next muta- I mean generation? Yes. Will kids love it? Definitely just from the colors alone. Is it better then the 2012 series? Hell no, but still it's enjoyable and hey it's definitely more acceptable then the live action films (even though I also thought those were passable for what they are, but still has flaws)
Yep but have u seen the entire series tho
I was really enthusiastic about the 2011 Thundercats reboot.
I feel that it was cancelled prematurely.
Ben Otto I completely agree with you. It was such a good show.
Because of premature executives at CN. If it doesn't sell toys, then it's not worth pouring money into.
I thought the 2011 Thundercats was brilliantly written.
I was bummed when they cancelled the show.
It could’ve been what voltron is today
how do we get a reboot!?
Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix’s is a really good remake of the classic Voltron tv show.
You know, after watching the entire series, and since it has been 2 years, I think it will be really cool to see how your opinion is of the show now since it "finished", and the rumors of how the show is on "hard pause". What's your thoughts?
Finished the show last night. At first I was skeptical being a fan of the '87 show. By the end, I was totally into it. Only to find out that the show had been canceled after 1 and a half seasons. I'm a total nostalgia mark, but I'm open to being different and this show being different in the end didn't bother me. Overall, I'm disappointed that the show was canceled. I enjoyed it enough. Not as good as the other Turtle shows, but not bad either.
I LOVE IT! And before anyone calls me out as being a "new age fan", I'm a hard core fan, thank you very much. I've watched all the movies and cartoon iterations. Yes, when I first saw Rise I had some negative thoughts of it but I gave it a chance and loved it!
I really DID try to give this a chance...But it just doesn't feel like TMNT, in my eyes.
I mean; Splinter being a fat, lethargic and sometimes neglectful. The new weapons, having April appear just like that (snaps fingers) without giving her a proper first meeting with the team, the fact that they tried to be "current" by changing her race, Raph being the leader.
All this just feels so wrong, even if it is a different interpretation of the TMNT.
The thing about adapting material is you must respect the source material, respect how the premise is done (ex. have LEO as leader) and depict the characters in a way that's not only familiar...but also respectable. While the turtles are, admittedly behaving like teenage boys.
There's no excuse about what they did with Splinter.
Not to mention the fact that this random baron dude they have substituting Shredder's role as the main villain also feels wrong
Bullshit. They respected the source material PLENTY with 2003. It's time for something new. If Batman is allowed to change and be re-interpreted over and over again then so can his fellow comic heroes the TMNT. And the animation is GORGEOUS.
@PropellerBusted
Yes for TMNT2k3 they respected the material, but this is not TMNT 2K3 is it? No this is a 2018 show, baring the TMNT's name and feels like a cheap Teen Titans Go styled comedy with bits of action, using the skin of the TMNT brand to get butts in front of the viewing device and hopefully get the little kids to buy the new toys.
Just because someone is new doesn't mean it's bad that's true. However, I'd argue not every new Batman incarnation has been well received either.
I bring exhibit A: ASSBAR! Aka, All-Star, Batman and Robin by Frank 'the Dark Night Returns' Miller. I could give all the examples but I'd recommend just visiting Linkara and Atop the 4th Wall. ^_^
Also, animated wise, The Batman was met with meh after the epic that was Batman the Animated Series. It wasn't the worst but it felt at times just 'off'. That CGI Batman show was canceled before it could really do anything, although that's half WB and Cartoon Network's fault.
My main point is, while a re-interpretation is fine as time goes on, it's all about presentation. Rise of the TMNT is the kind of low-brow reimagining that reminds people why the term 'reboot' is such a dirty word these days. Maybe Rise will show a heart and a good story later if it does I will eat my words. However I don't trust Nickelodeon, and from the stuff, I'm reading from interviews with the show staff, I question some of their legitimacy to being faithful to the TMNT brand. April being race-washed, Leo and Raph being role and personality swapped, and Splinter being a neglectful and useless bum are not good signs for our heroes in a half-shell at all...
i mean we had the same formula for three series already. why not change things up for a while. also i like BTAS but i got bored of it as it went on and kinda dig The Batman animation more
@Vin Sama
I'm all for reimagining beloved IP's if done well. I'm also for changing formulas, you don't need to follow the same storylines beat for beat over and over. If you pay homage and show respect, while craving a new take all's well. Hell, I'm okay if a spinoff goes off the rails if THAT is the intent.
Rise of the TMNT is billed as the next TMNT, but with a comedy-focused take. They canceled the 2012 series which still had plot threads to finish, to produce this, and it screams lazy, trend-chasing, and pandering. With action shows devolving into an extinct species, it begs the question WHY turn an action-oriented show into an action-comedy that's already over-flooded the market?
Because Nick cares about the toy money and not having to spend the green on high-quality animation like they did with the CGI toon.
So while I admit my ill-thoughts towards Nickelodeon are coloring my perception, I just feel, this isn't really Ninja Turtles, but a knock-off acting like them. If the show turns out to be better than the first episodes show-case, I'll be happy to eat my words. I'd rather it turn out to be good and succeed, but right now my hopes are dim.
XenoJehuty84 are you sure you don't mean done well for your taste? Whenever people say things like done well there's always that lingering bias to it where it's for their taste only.
Really love this show! Wish there was more of it and that it lasted longer in general. I know this video is from when the show came out, but I just gotta add some positive vibes to these old comments. Thanks for always being honest in your reviews Andre, but also, for being so nice about the show this early on! Have you seen any of the newer episodes? I also think they really were playing the long game because the reveals and plot stuff happening in S1 were epic. Still haven't finished S2 yet but it's been great and fun to watch. The later stuff gets kind of crazy and intense and I'm almost dreading it but have heard a lot of good things from other fans. There's cool horror elements to the S2 villain. And the Splinter build-up... man that was a payoff worth the time. I got the same feel from early eps, that this is an odd version of Splinter but thought, hey, maybe it's a setup for something else later. First it felt like he was just gonna be a side character like in most other versions but the more you see him, the more his actual personality shows through and he becomes more involved w/ the plot. Also, I love this version Leo. He's fun and more show-offy, which makes him more relatable somehow? He's just a teen who wants the attention and approval of his family but is actually insecure about his skills. I dunno, there's just something refreshing bout this take. And Ben Schwartz is a perfect fit, but I swear I forget half the time he's there bc I'm more focused on the character and what's going on in an ep. Still wish they did more with Mikey tho, but at least he's not just a nice surfer dude anymore and has more of a punch to him. It's funny reading how people don't see the turtles here as different, but I guess that's the vibe old fans get from modern teen characters. I think it's cool what they did w each design being a different turtle and different shape. Makes them feel less generic! Kind of a shame that Nick didn't really know how to promo the show or handle it, at least, that's what it feels like to me. They aired a lot of eps out of order and had way too many toys way too early for people to be interested in them. Also I feel like they could have released this series a bit later or at least more slowly so people had more of a chance to catch it and enjoy it in bits. Instead they saw the reception to S1 and ordered less eps for the next. And I dunno, that feels like a loss when there were already some in pre-production. Kind of funny to read all these old comments when this show went out with such a bang. But hey, from one turtle fan to others... eat a pizza or something and if this one didn't work for you, re-watch another or read the comics ;)
In season 2 things got serious. Like there were sad moments. I had to cry😂😂😂
Easily my fav iteration so far. I love the out there sarcastic and witty humor. The character redesigns are amazing. Voice actors are splendid. And it's not dark and edgy (at least it shouldn't become that way).
Have you seen the finale!? It’s amazing! could you do a video? :)
Voltron is a great cartoon reboot. I've only seen like 5 episodes but those 5 were real solid.
Yeah they’re already at season 7 I believe and going strong
Yep. I started watching the Nextflix Voltron series last week and am already hooked. Wasn't a big fan of the original series, but this one just hits all the right beats for me.
+Mirna Mehmedović the netflix series, Voltron Legendary Defender.
+Bbot34 /critical oh boy I'm never catching up
A new season comes out tomorrow, for me at least. (SO HYPED!!!)
i liked the thundercats and he-man reboot series, they were fun and cool for what they were, i especially liked the mythos and history that they put in the series. thundercats was way better in my opinion though.
"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, but how are we going to genetically splice mice with our DNA?"
NGL this is my favorite TMNT series
This show’s animation gives me life
This is the best animation
I really liked the last TMNT series but I just kinda slowly stopped watching it with all the space stuff
Huey Blue same here honestly, shredder was cool and built up well, until they turned him into the "super shredder". After that I stopped watching it
Once they went to space it went all down hill
Huey Blue the space stuff was really cool
Christopher Berner super shredder was really cool
Marina Syndulla no it didn't
If Cartoon Network made the turtles
if they had the owner of the cartoon, but they don't
Black Dynamite Ninja Turtles crossover confirmed?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing Rise in such a positive way, it's been a nice change :)
I wasn't expecting to be able to enjoy a more childish version but after a couple of re-watches I found myself really enjoying the voice acting and the snappy dialogue between the brothers, a particularly enjoyable moment for me was Leo & Don's reactions as Raph went to eat the leftover salami at the end of the origami episode
As for Raph taking the leader role, I think it makes a lot of sense considering the change to Splinter. I always imagine Splinter giving Leo the job of leader and Leo aims to really emulate Splinter. But if you have a version of Splinter that is less hands on as a teacher/parent I can see how Raph's personality would take on that role (it's often been a source of contention between past versions of Leo and Raph) but you still see Leo's natural leadership abilities shine through, as you already mentioned.
Anyway, I for one am looking forward to seeing more.
I could complain and pour all kinds of salt on this show, but I'm too old and too tired to care any more.
There have been some great cartoon reboots, Voltron Legendary Defender, Thundercats 2012, Turtles 2003 & 2012, Ducktales 2017 definitely, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, MLP:FiM, Transformers Animated, Astro Boy 2003, Casshern Sins, those new Mickey Mouse shorts Disney is doing, the Danger Mouse reboot, heck even Sonic SatAM, Sonic Underground, and Sonic Boom (after season 1 which is iffy) are all good reboots as they all started after Adventures of Sonic though SatAM did start the same year as Adventure of Sonic.
And if you go into comic book adapted cartoons viewed as reboots you have X-Men Evolution, Spectacular Spider-Man, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Batman Brave and the Bold, heck despite it being divisive among fans I'm loving the new Marvel's Spider-Man.
As for Rise, I will admit it has good animation and a solid voice cast, but this show just doesn't interest me despite the fact that I was a huge fan of multiple previous turtles series. It's its own thing and I approve of that, just sometimes something just doesn't grip you, and it didn't grip me. I gave it a couple episodes but yeah, I don't think I'm gonna watch it.
That said I do believe there are a lot of great reboots... despite some obvious bad ones... like the Reboot reboot.
ElizaGWR eh, astroboy was kinda iffy, but I also agree
You may be the first person ever to say Sonic Underground was good.
I like Marvel's Spiderman to I don't know why it gets so much hate
GameBoy Punk the animation
the first half of your post is my childhood.
Thundercats and Transformers Prime were cool.
JamCal-X I couldn't get into prime myself. I admit there was good writing and animation but I couldn't warm to any of the characters.
I was going to comment the same thing. Both were great reboots. Sucks thundercats didnt get enough time to shine.
Thunder cats and he man were both great but got effed by CN they were amazing reboots
Voltron on Netflix is a good reboot, and justice league action I think is great as well
"What is your good cartoon reboot?"
TMNT 2003 😉
What’s your opinion now after the much improved second season and it’s tragic canning?
Good reboot? Voltron the Legendary Defender.
Oh god that subscription number...
IKR!!!!!!!!
TRANSFORMERS: Animated was great
TMan978 Hell yeah!
I loved that show. RIP Prowl.
INDEED.
DUDE! I just commented the same thing. Animated is easily my favorite Transformers show aside from the silly G1 cartoon.
Yessssssssss
When they used salami to fool the thieves into thinking it was paper, I was done.
It gets so so so so so so so very good! I swear, if you tapped out after only the second episode, you missed out.
his face on the thumbnail screams"my childhood has been ruined"
Voltron is pretty good.
I wanted to like it. I didn't want to be a wet blanket about the show ruining my fave heroes in a half shell. BUT every time I almost liked the show, it just went south. The humour is so forced and it's like everything is a joke. They don't let the Turtles have any moments. The formula is the, the Turtle boys elude to doing something awesome, but then lol they fail. Ninja Mode on! Fail cause lols. Leo doesn't need his swords, he has skills. Fail cause lols. And don't get me started on Master Splinter.
I'm sad to say that this is the first incarnation of the Turtles that i can't be bothered keeping up with. and I watched those damn Live action episodes with Venus!
I wholeheartedly agree
@@orinanime Same
Likewise.
I was really sceptical of the show when it first came out, I remember I watched the first episode and didn’t really care for it. I kept seeing it on t.v and never choose to watch it, but recently I thought I’d rewatch it and give it another chance. I watched more than one episode and I’m not going to lie I do really like it, even though I can barely find any episodes of it on Nick I do really enjoy it. I love the animation and the voice acting and I don’t mind Splinter, even if I liked the 2012 one a lot more. I love all their personalities and I’m pretty sure they’re getting a movie or something so I’m super excited for that too.
“April O’Neil is a s’more.”
I freaking love you for that 🤣❤️
I think it’s adorable that the voice actress cosplayed her own character for the panel 🥰 So much fun
The pinky and 🧠 brain was a surprise
We just discovered this show
The stuff that we thought was was weird was Leo
Leo was historically more serious
