Well it’s called rise so I’m guessing we are going to get incidents which affect the group leading to Leo becoming the leader later on. It would be cool if Leo didn’t want to be leader at first because of the responsibility and that’s why Raph is in charge. Then events could unfold (raph can’t cope with the stress or he makes wrong decisions) which force Leo to take charge. Definitely intrigued!
NICK's first reboot was more like a tender love letter to the the whole TMNT as a brand.Their brand's special episode a few seasons ago had a better representation of the 80's cartoon that wasn't insulting (CW made'em basically into cry babies!!)AND NICK'S VERSION HAD ROCKSTEADY AND BEBOP IN IT plus several deep cuts from the comics and tv shows!!
This makes no sense. I can't believe their ending the series when their are still more questions left. Like what happened to the chimera, what happened to Alopex or what about the fugitoid's head and we still don't know what happened to Pigeon Pete. I mean come on now. They could have kept it going another season or two.
Matthew Bradley I feel like that when the mut animals(I AM NOT POSITIVE I AM SPELLING THAT RIGHT) said”We don’t talk about pigeon Pete” I get a feeling that leather head or slash accidentally ate him but I’m not saying that but it’s my theory
Hng, I dunno about this one from what I've heard. I know these guys are all talented, but there's just something about when a cartoon has a cast made of SNL/Disney Channel/New Hotness of Netflix people that kinda rubs me the wrong way. I don't care who's playing who as long as they're good actors and I get why they push this aspect, but it just doesn't gel with me -- that was a big red flag for Ducktales 2017 but I like that reboot, even if that bit still kinda irks me. Something about this show and how it's being marketed is leading me to think this is gonna be the Nick Turtles we all thought 2012 TMNT was gonna be heading in -- a more kid-focused show with a heavier emphasis on what some of the kids are into nowadays (i.e. someone's gonna make a hashtag joke, have a mobile phone and post to social media), and making Raph the leader also just kinda leaves Leo without one of his defining traits. I'm still interested to see what it'll bring to the table, but it has me very skeptical right now; moreso than 2012 first did.
Yeah. They're playing to celebrity power instead of the script, is what this comes off as. That's not for sure, but it's usually how it goes with the "new hotness" cast, as you said.
I remember back when the Mirage comics first came out I used to think April was black because of her hairstyle lol 2012 Turtles was good, but the 2003 series is still my favorite
I like 2003 series too, it's best version for me. But, I hold 1987 version in special place of my heart. As for 2012 series, I think it's good too. But, it's losing to 1987 and 2003 versions (that's just my opinion)
Rob Paulsen being the voice director is exciting to me. And April's race was kinda fluid in the original comics her features would vary (as though they couldn't decide) but then they settled on it once the cartoon came out. So that's exciting to me as well. I'm ready to see this.
But I love Leo as a leader, that’s like one of his character quirk, and Raph’s charm is his rebellious personality. So...they’ll basically swap personality? Oh god I have a bad feeling about this
Creative Creamer Right, i get that they have to change things to keep it fresh but there are some things that are fundemental to the formula of the TMNT.
Even though they didn't air it as the final episodes, the _Mad Raph_ episodes were an amazing ending for the 2012 series. Looking forward to the new series, too.
Paul Grant that was a good episode I mean everyone that the turtle's know and love are dead but......hey look at the bright side they were reunited at the end.
I'm skeptical. I really hope they don't dumb down the animation like they did with powerpuff girls and ben 10. Don't get me wrong. I don't want a super edgy mature series, i'm just not a fan of how they've done some reboots recently (except ducktales since that was actually handled pretty well imo).
It's funny how reboot series of shows dumb things down now compared to some new cartoons that have deeper meanings or more mature jokes. Just recently I noticied that Disney started allowing suggestive jokes and the use of the words "death" and "kill" in their cartoons.
Raphael's going to be bigger than his brothers, huh? Well, if I learned anything from Sonic Boom's reveal, it's that when you make the red guy big and muscular, everyone is absolutely ok with it. Also, and this is probably just a weird coincidence, but a lot of comic book redheads are now being played by black actors/actresses. In addition to April, we have Josie in Riverdale, Wally and Iris West on The Flash, Jimmy Olson on Supergirl (also Miss Martian, but she's a shapeshifter), and Starfire in the upcoming Teen Titans show. Oh well, whatever, the inclusiveness is a good thing :)
Yeah, that's another thing. Not that April's always been redheaded, of course, but a lot of red hair gets steamrollered in the whole Diversity thing... As for Rise Raph, presumably he's not gonna be as dumb as Boom Knuckles?
*Alan Wilkinson* I wouldn't say that they're getting "steamrolled". It's probably just that red hair isn't very common, and yet there have been a ton of redheaded comic book characters. Mary Jane Watson, Jean Grey, Jimmy Olson, Guy Gardner, Iris and Wally West, Firestar, Medusa, Archie, Cheryl Blossom, Patty Walker, and a whole lot more had red hair, and yet, because most of those characters were created in the 30's-60's, there was an utter lack of black characters, despite it being more common to see someone who's black here in the USA than it is to see a redhead. I think that these changes are for the sake of realism more than anything else. *UltimaKeyMaster* No, it toootallly wasn't sarcasm. ;)
John Wedig You forgot MJ in Homecoming. (I'm aware she's not Mary Jane Watson, but it seems like she'll probably be the closest we'll get. And this isn't a complaint. I liked her in Homecoming.) Also, Starfire is probably gonna be in orange bodypaint, so a moot point (at least she better be. I'd be mad no matter who they cast if she's not orange.) But a black April? I really hope there's no shitstorm over this.
I'm super cool with an African-American April. I love Kat Graham. What I cannot accept is that Raphael is the oldest and leader. That fundamentally changes the character dynamics of Leo and Raph. Leo is the oldest, most serious and responsible brother. Raph is the hothead who clashes with Leo because he thinks he should lead.
spared Omari's channel 73 the raph leo dynamic leo has always been the leader and raph always wanted to be unless there's some comic stuff i don't know about the April change well we will see how its handled if it's a ohhh look how progressive we are move its gonna suck but if its just eh we just wanted to make her like this and its not her defining feature then its fine
From what little we know, looks like this version is gonna continue the tradition of every TMNT installment doing something new. And I'm actually okay with that
No! Please don't let Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles be Like Teen Titans Go! I hope to Sithis it doesn't end like that! But I do have hopes for this,and I'm sad to see The 2012 TMNT end I think it has to be my favourite TMNT series so far
Perfectly happy with any changes they make, even Raphael as leader and black April. There so many different versions of TMNT, they have to mix things up.
I am always hyped for more TMNT, but i would be lying if said i wasn't scared about how this one is going to turn out. Just feels like they are trying way to much stuff and it might make the show bad, but ill wait and see.
I'm hoping that the 2-D aspect is more in the direction of Voltron and less in the direction of those 15 min shows. I'm thinking, since nickelodeon doesn't really adhere to that format for their shows, they will make the designs fit that.
think will ever see a more dark and gritty era of the turtles again? like with the original marage and current IDW comics, the 90s film, the 2003 series, and the later half of the 2012 series?
Actually, it’s no surprise that Eric Bauza is playing Splinter in the new series. At either San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con last year, Eric Bauza read as Master Splinter when they gave us a script reading of season 4 episode 20 “The Super Shredder”
I have faith in this series, I remember how iffy the 2012 launch was. I gave it time and the fandom grew. Rob's overseeing the voice cast, I met him, and I can assure you he knows his stuff.
Andre: "Raphael is going to be the leader" Me: What the hell is this crap? I know I shouldn't judge or anything so fast, but ...... Shit, that is so different. Maybe i'll get used it or....
Red Eye I don't know. Maybe it's even longer! Honestly, I don't get it. Having Leo be the cool and mellow guy is just not natural! Besides we already have mikey to play that role! I'm just hoping there is a reason for this change. It has to be apart of the story line! *sigh* maybe I am judging it a bit to quick. You know what they say: We're scared of what we don't understand...
I had that feeling from some of the original comic drawings I've seen, but like most tales on the Interwebs, I've seen multiple stories saying that's true AND not true. Can you direct me to some sources?
You know something else? Ben Schwartz also starts with B....you know what else starts with B?......Blue.....this isn't a coincidence...it's a conspiracy man *x files theme plays in the background*
My prediction for the new show is that it will be a very well balanced show that majority of us TMNT fans will enjoy....ONCE the show gets moving and finds it's footing.
For anyone complaining about April being black, if you look in the original comics it's pretty clear she's black. I'm not even kidding, you can find it for yourself. Soooo
Hmm this might be good but i still think i'll watch 2003 and 2012 over this Andre you are right that with different dimensions they can do different things. but we'll see if they did it right when it comes out.
One of these days I hope we will get to experience Andre Black Nerd as at least a guest appearance as a voice for a character in a Ninja Turtles series!
I'm nervous of the Raphael being leader and Leo's/ Raph's personallities changing as they are defined by their personallities but as you said its set in another universe so, we shall see.
I really really don't know how I feel about Raphael being the leader... by the sounds of it their character traits, they are basically Raph and Leo with a name and color swap, basically done a Freaky Friday swap. My childhood hurts at this thought, but I will no doubt give it a go and see if they can prove me wrong.
I wonder how well raph being leader will work out. In every other tmnt series, Raph was never able to handle the responsibility well in the way Leo could.
April being black is not really new. She was originally designed to be that way in the Mirage comics. It was the cartoon that actually gave her the red hair and such.
+RaphGirl April was designed to be black in the Mirage Comics?! ooooh girl, you lyin'! I need proof of' dat!!! Seriously though, I need proof, because I've gone 26 years thinking April O'neil was white. EDIT:Nevermind, I just looked it up, and....EVERYTHING I KNEW IS A LIE!!!! However, before I let my rage consume me, I can understand that every incarnation was white to maintain brand recognition... But maaaaan, this is wild...
WAIT NO I’M NOT READY YET AHHHHHH I’m still not recovered from the ending of TMNT 2012! ;~; I love that show so much otl. I grew up with the 2003 one and I loved that too, but the 2012 one just feels like _the turtles_ to me, despite the fact it’s not nostalgic/associated with my childhood. I’m definitely not ready, but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited.
This doesn’t make sense, Raphael can’t be the leader of the turtles. We all know that Leonardo is the main leader of the team and Donatello is the smart tech nerd, Mikey is the party guy, And RAPHAEL is the muscle of the team not the leader.
While my first reaction to this was to scream and flail at my boy Leonardo not being the leader (and that position being given to my least favorite turtle), I think I will give this show a shot. And I'll be honest: it was African-American April that changed my mind. I think that's a really interesting idea and I can't wait to see it in action. I'M STILL MAD, but I'll give it a chance. Also, I'm not too worried about this show having a comedic tone. The Ninja Turtles have ALWAYS had an element of comedy in them, even at their most serious. I would be worried if the press release had said there would be NO comedy because that to me is the greatest indication that the team in charge doesn't know what makes the Turtles work.
I'm so excited!!! I can't wait!! I really love that this April O'Neil is going to be different, and that Raphael will be the leader. ROB PAULSEN is PERFECT to be the director. I'll definitely continue my React To videos for this series as well. BOOYAKASHA BABY!
Ive never been a very big Turtles guy (I really like the first live action movie from the 90s and I grew up on the 2003 series but thats about it) but im actually kind of interested in seeing this new version. Sounds like theyre actually doing something new and different with it which is really refreshing for a long running franchise like this
id rather the show take darker tones though so thats shitty, im not diggin these kiddy comedy versions of shows that could be amazing if they took it seriously
There was an interesting short film of TMNT where the turtles are mech suits piloted by human kids and Michelangelo is their sensei. I think that would be a good idea for the the next turtle franchise. Especially with Mickey going from party dude to responsible teacher.
I don't have a problem with April being black as long as they aren't shoving social commentary down my throat. Of course that goes for everything in general. Also sounds like they just swapped Raph and Leo, not just in role but personality as well. If that's the case it's a bit of a let down. There's really no reason to swap them if they are still doing the same stuff. Of course this is just preliminary information and its entirely possible both characters will have unique personalities which is fine. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on it.
Yeah totally black looking, oh wait no... images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21300000/April-Raph-Comics-ninja-turtles-21336519-600-636.jpg Also last I checked, not many black people with the last name O'Neil
When you said Raphael will be bigger, I immediately pictured the deformed character design of Sonic Boom. Can you imagine Raphael with the body style of Knuckles?...
Dude I'm so hype for this. I mean, Raphael being the leader(except for that one song) has been unprecedented. So I'm really excited to see how that plays out.
The comic kid くそ the turtles will survive only barely because they are badasses, wait....................this reminds me of...............mettel........... and thomas and friends, remember the days of wooden railway, ya they arnt fully painted and have no dome............. an engine without a dome is not a proper engine, dispicalbe, youll never see me without a dome...................2018,...................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I CANT BE SEEEN LOL.
Raphael being the leader? Why? Just why? Still, if done interestingly, I suppose I can give that idea a shot. And Leo is a rebel now? All they did was reverse the turtles personalities... oh well.
I don't recognize the names of anyone of the new TMNT voice cast except for Eric Bauza as Splinter and Rob Paulsen as the voice director. BTW, Paulsen moving from voice actor to voice director? Way to take it to the next level! #VoiceDirectorPaulsen
THEY NEED TO LET YOU VOICE BAXTER STOCKMAN IN THE NEW SERIES
JB JG Its not racist, It is a joke with Black Nerd Comedy. Andre even said he looks like him
How so? baxter has been black in all his last iterations. Including the IDW continuity.
NICK BETTER MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
Travis Plush Productions yes!😍
Travis Plush Productions COMIC-CON!!!!!
Rip smooth Donatello
RIP
Smooth Donatello
~2012-2017~
Rise Donatello is plenty smooth, trust me XD
The voice actor of April is fine
ROB PAULSEN IS VOICE DIRECTING? That's going to be amazing! I love that guy!
RELYtv it's definitely fitting
Rob would be best at voice directing the Turtles because he used to voice 2 Turtles.
RELYtv wow the voice of Raph in the og TMNT ....and Donnie in the 2012 TMNT .....PERFECT choice for Director
The only thing I’m skeptical about is Leonardo not being the leader
and the fact he's voiced by a blue snail named skidmark.
srsly though what's up with shwartz voicing blue animals?
srsly though what's up with Ben voicing blue animals? (a snail, a duck, and soon a turtle)
Man, you right. That had me so shook yo
I'm interested how they're going to make him a 'rebel' without making him too much like Raphael from previous series.
What’s even funnier about Ben Schwartz is that he also voiced Randy Cunningham 9th Grade NINJA
I know right lol
Why they always do my boi Leo dirty
Well it’s called rise so I’m guessing we are going to get incidents which affect the group leading to Leo becoming the leader later on. It would be cool if Leo didn’t want to be leader at first because of the responsibility and that’s why Raph is in charge. Then events could unfold (raph can’t cope with the stress or he makes wrong decisions) which force Leo to take charge. Definitely intrigued!
If that were to happen I'd have heavy respect for this show.
B3418 ye me too! It would show so much growth from all the characters 😄
NICK's first reboot was more like a tender love letter to the the whole TMNT as a brand.Their brand's special episode a few seasons ago had a better representation of the 80's cartoon that wasn't insulting (CW made'em basically into cry babies!!)AND NICK'S VERSION HAD ROCKSTEADY AND BEBOP IN IT plus several deep cuts from the comics and tv shows!!
Isn't that mostly 4Kids' fault?
TouhouFather Then I’d just be a copy. The 2003 is the closest you’ll get to that
I really hope that it shows the development of Leonardo becoming the leader. That would be really interesting
Idk. I kind of like Raph as the permanent leader idea, but I can see why that might bother people.
Natsu it will for sure be an interesting story line without a doubt!
Yes, like HotRod/Rodimus in transformers.
Did you like how Rise handled Leonardo becoming the leader?
U didn't mention that Ben Schwartz also played Randy Cunningham in Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja, and now he's playing a Ninja Turtle.
Let’s just *PRAY* they don’t make it like Teen Titans Go!
Awesome Productions if they do i'm gonna write a hate mail with a lot of strong language.
The logo is kinda lookin' like the Ben 10 remake
I think this is what the majority of us fear.
Apple Pye well you can't blame us we just hate those show's so,damn,much!
Meta Knight
Also kinda looks like the 2003 logo, right?
This makes no sense. I can't believe their ending the series when their are still more questions left. Like what happened to the chimera, what happened to Alopex or what about the fugitoid's head and we still don't know what happened to Pigeon Pete. I mean come on now. They could have kept it going another season or two.
Matthew Bradley I feel like that when the mut animals(I AM NOT POSITIVE I AM SPELLING THAT RIGHT) said”We don’t talk about pigeon Pete” I get a feeling that leather head or slash accidentally ate him but I’m not saying that but it’s my theory
Don't tell Arin from Game Grumps that Raphael is the leader now! He's gonna shit a brick!
Desiree Smith 😂😂😂
For people who don't know what I mean, look up Game Grumps Bloodborne playthrough, episode 23, and skip to 12:24.
Desiree Smith who cares what that baby thinks
Mario Game Grumps fans
Legit what I thought of 😂

Yeah. They're playing to celebrity power instead of the script, is what this comes off as. That's not for sure, but it's usually how it goes with the "new hotness" cast, as you said.
Omg hey dude I see u everywhere, I love ur videos on the pokemon anime 😍
80s Theme song singer:Leonardo Leads
Nickelodeon: Ha nope
Partners in crime:Yes finally!!!!
Fans:Yay?
I actually always thought he was before I got into TMNT
No yay
The Titanium Turtle no yay
still,it'll be interesting to see Raph as a leader
The Titanium Turtle I wonder who’s going to voice shredder
So basically Raphael and Leonardo switched personalities and leadership roles...wow ok lol
they didnt.
I remember back when the Mirage comics first came out I used to think April was black because of her hairstyle lol
2012 Turtles was good, but the 2003 series is still my favorite
I like 2003 series too, it's best version for me. But, I hold 1987 version in special place of my heart. As for 2012 series, I think it's good too. But, it's losing to 1987 and 2003 versions (that's just my opinion)
Rob Paulsen being the voice director is exciting to me. And April's race was kinda fluid in the original comics her features would vary (as though they couldn't decide) but then they settled on it once the cartoon came out. So that's exciting to me as well. I'm ready to see this.
They're pulling a Voltron on us with Raphael and Leo!
supershadow957 you know... That's a very valid point. Let's see what happens.
Bro predicted the rise movie
Please Nickelodeon, DON'T make it like Teen Titans Go.
I don't think they would dare...
J Turner If Nick does it in Teen Titans go direction, I swore I will kill them.
I think it went in a similar way
@@arcturus7108 I just finished the series and luckily it wasn't like that, it's so much better than I expected
@@micaelasalasdulanto23 idk i couldn't bare a stright 5 minutes of it as an old school fan for it I'd only rock for the 2003 and 2012 ver
But I love Leo as a leader, that’s like one of his character quirk, and Raph’s charm is his rebellious personality. So...they’ll basically swap personality?
Oh god I have a bad feeling about this
Creative Creamer Right, i get that they have to change things to keep it fresh but there are some things that are fundemental to the formula of the TMNT.
+Creative Creamer
I hope they don't swap personalities. Though Raph being the reckless loose cannon leader would be nice.
U know whys LEO KEEPS ON MAKING PUNS!
Even though they didn't air it as the final episodes, the _Mad Raph_ episodes were an amazing ending for the 2012 series.
Looking forward to the new series, too.

It's funny how reboot series of shows dumb things down now compared to some new cartoons that have deeper meanings or more mature jokes. Just recently I noticied that Disney started allowing suggestive jokes and the use of the words "death" and "kill" in their cartoons.
leronne clemencia Don't forget Teen Titans Go.
How did you feel about TMNT 2012 then?
Would be cool if the turtles were different breeds. Could be a neat way to get different colors, shaped and sizes into their designs.
Raphael's going to be bigger than his brothers, huh? Well, if I learned anything from Sonic Boom's reveal, it's that when you make the red guy big and muscular, everyone is absolutely ok with it.
Also, and this is probably just a weird coincidence, but a lot of comic book redheads are now being played by black actors/actresses.

I'm sad Nickelodeon 2012 tmnt is ending so many memories with this beautiful show that's how I got into tmnt I hope this will be an amazing series 💯👊🔥
TheCreative Dude that’s how you got into TMNT ? then go and watch TMNT 2003-2010 it’s the best version
Aww, I'm sad Rob Paulsen isn't voicing a turtle :(
Well, he can't keep doing it forever.
But he's voice directing so at least he's still involved
Khairon Mctassle It's Marinette from Miraculous Ladybug. I drew it myself ^_^
Yyasemin Ssabanci I love your drawing! It's soooooooo cute!!!!
temari105 Thank you so much! ^_^ The full thing is on my Instagram (@miraculousdoodler). It was a screen redraw from the Evillustrator episode! :D
I'm super cool with an African-American April. I love Kat Graham. What I cannot accept is that Raphael is the oldest and leader. That fundamentally changes the character dynamics of Leo and Raph. Leo is the oldest, most serious and responsible brother. Raph is the hothead who clashes with Leo because he thinks he should lead.
AlphaCircuit [Batman25JM] this is fact i can't stand that change
Exactly. This is a "Venus" level character mistake.
max steel what change
spared Omari's channel 73 the raph leo dynamic leo has always been the leader and raph always wanted to be unless there's some comic stuff i don't know about the April change well we will see how its handled if it's a ohhh look how progressive we are move its gonna suck but if its just eh we just wanted to make her like this and its not her defining feature then its fine
max steel I don't see any problem with her changing race
I'm excited but nervous? Taking a more comedic take on the turtles will be fun!...so long as they don't take it to a Teen Titans Go level
2012 had enough comedy.... We all know what they are about to unleash
From what little we know, looks like this version is gonna continue the tradition of every TMNT installment doing something new.
And I'm actually okay with that
Is Shaquille O'Neill her father?
PhilyC3RD lmaoooo that was clever
he's also secretly steel that can grant wishe's
LOL
Andre did say the Turtles were going to learn about magical mystical stuff... Maybe April's father is a genie ?
LMAO!!
Crazy how quickly time flies. I still remember when they previewed the 2012 reboot.
No! Please don't let Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles be Like Teen Titans Go! I hope to Sithis it doesn't end like that! But I do have hopes for this,and I'm sad to see The 2012 TMNT end I think it has to be my favourite TMNT series so far
Tarlo The Boar yes Its my favorite too except the last episode they did with the whole mutant apocalypse
Mutant Apocalypse was an alternate timeline story.
Mississippi WolfBlood I enjoyed it all it even made me feel bad for bebop and rocksteady
Tarlo The Boar Yes I grew up with the series!
coolkendall gaming Same. I grew up on the 2003 show
Was there a reason as to why there's a new reboot so quickly after the recent series has ended.
Because TMNT is a franchise the reboots more often than a Vista-run PC.
Because $$$$
Such cynical answers... although correct, if the current TMNT is still popular why reboot again.
Jaythedog84 the storyline is ending...
Because SJWs, kind of obvious except to the poor kids.
When will you post your recaps for the final few episodes of the 2012 series
ROB PAULSON IS THE VOICE DIRECTOR!!! HELL YEAH!!!
+Peachy Bubbles
Rob Paulson as voice director...Well that means the acting will be competent...
My reaction was "Oh god, Pinky is their voice director"
Thats cool we're getting a black April. They've toyed with it before.
LEO NOT THE LEADER!? What is this Madness!? Well I hope he's still the same Ninja Turtle I've always liked.
He wont be.
Raph is the oldest AND the leader?!?! What the shell? I blame trump
why did you bring politics into this, this is teenage mutant ninja turtles, not CNN.
Too bad the info on this show can't be fake news...
hahahaha what does Trump has to do with this?? 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Perfectly happy with any changes they make, even Raphael as leader and black April. There so many different versions of TMNT, they have to mix things up.
They should pick Andre for Spike...
Andre should be Baxter Stockman (if you've seen his vids on the previous movie, you know why)
EXACTLY!
Alan Wilkinson YESSS
Alan Wilkinson yes
I'm excited and scared about this at the same time
I am always hyped for more TMNT, but i would be lying if said i wasn't scared about how this one is going to turn out. Just feels like they are trying way to much stuff and it might make the show bad, but ill wait and see.
Just hope this isn't the Sonic Boom of TMNT.
The biggest news i got from this is that Andrea Romano retired. Damn she is a legend. I wish her well in her next chapter in her life.
I won't mind an African-American April. I hear that was her original concept in The Original Comics
Tarlo The Boar Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Now it's not-so different
I'm glad to have been apart of the TMNT 2012 fandom! It was a great run :) I'll miss it so very much! ;-;
I'm hoping that the 2-D aspect is more in the direction of Voltron and less in the direction of those 15 min shows.
I'm thinking, since nickelodeon doesn't really adhere to that format for their shows, they will make the designs fit that.
think will ever see a more dark and gritty era of the turtles again? like with the original marage and current IDW comics, the 90s film, the 2003 series, and the later half of the 2012 series?
I got a bad feeling about this new series.
Matthew Bradley you are not the only one
Yes very skeptical.......
People said the same thing about the 2012 series...however, I'm with you on this too. I hope I'm wrong again, though.
Actually, it’s no surprise that Eric Bauza is playing Splinter in the new series. At either San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con last year, Eric Bauza read as Master Splinter when they gave us a script reading of season 4 episode 20 “The Super Shredder”
I'm really Glad the 2012 Series had some form of Closure/a real Ending.
I have faith in this series, I remember how iffy the 2012 launch was. I gave it time and the fandom grew. Rob's overseeing the voice cast, I met him, and I can assure you he knows his stuff.
2003 still the best
A G Definitely
And its no contest. Only one really loyal to the comics.
Omg I totally agree. The 2003 series doesn't get any love anymore (╯︵╰,)
Gamersjustsaiyan IKR It needs more respect. lol you just earned yourself a subscriber
Dbz Xenoverse2 Thank you! 😁
Andre: "Raphael is going to be the leader"
Me: What the hell is this crap?
I know I shouldn't judge or anything so fast, but ......
Shit, that is so different. Maybe i'll get used it or....
Peachy Bubbles maybe that’s just in the first episode
Red Eye
I don't know. Maybe it's even longer!
Honestly, I don't get it. Having Leo be the cool and mellow guy is just not natural! Besides we already have mikey to play that role!
I'm just hoping there is a reason for this change. It has to be apart of the story line!
*sigh* maybe I am judging it a bit to quick. You know what they say: We're scared of what we don't understand...
Already boycotting it.
Voltron also messed with the team dynamic and their genders so who knows?
Peachy Bubbles no no NOOOOOOOO
April was originally was supposed to be black in the comics
I did not know that
I had that feeling from some of the original comic drawings I've seen, but like most tales on the Interwebs, I've seen multiple stories saying that's true AND not true. Can you direct me to some sources?
+Andre "Black Nerd" I think the new supernatural power will be
TURTLE POWER
Yeah if you check her first cover appearance she is tan skin tone and black curly hair
jeremiah banks he's right
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/c/c5/TMNT_April_Mirage.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130803020115
if the first episode is about the turtles having to venture across realms to make a sandwich.....were gonna have some problems
You know something else? Ben Schwartz also starts with B....you know what else starts with B?......Blue.....this isn't a coincidence...it's a conspiracy man *x files theme plays in the background*
You cracked the DaVinci Code!
My prediction for the new show is that it will be a very well balanced show that majority of us TMNT fans will enjoy....ONCE the show gets moving and finds it's footing.
Teen Turtles Go
Sammy Lane good point! I was worried about Ducktales and it turned out to be amazing$
It is a diference betwen Cartoom Network reboots and others
Disney and Nick dont have the balls to let fans down
I'm excited for this. I'll miss the 2012 series
Ok ok sign me and my kids up for this new series.... Can't wait to see the TOYS....Yeaaaaaaa
Jay-3 Entertainment yo what up Batman
Yo it’s the batman
Jay-3 Entertainment in glad I'm not the only 'mature' aged person who enjoys TMNT 😂 people like to make fun of me for it.
Rhandy Splawn Forget the haters
B Woody Sup fam yeah we in here
For anyone complaining about April being black, if you look in the original comics it's pretty clear she's black. I'm not even kidding, you can find it for yourself. Soooo
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Your feeling was wrong
@@jaheimjohnson2267 yea I take back my original statement. I enjoy the animation style and like the cast.
Hmm this might be good
but i still think i'll watch 2003 and 2012 over this
Andre you are right that with different dimensions they can do different things.
but we'll see if they did it right when it comes out.
One of these days I hope we will get to experience Andre Black Nerd as at least a guest appearance as a voice for a character in a Ninja Turtles series!
I'm nervous of the Raphael being leader and Leo's/ Raph's personallities changing as they are defined by their personallities but as you said its set in another universe so, we shall see.
I wish they would have done a straightup adaptation of the IDW or the Mirage comic. The IDW comic is SO GOOD.
I really really don't know how I feel about Raphael being the leader... by the sounds of it their character traits, they are basically Raph and Leo with a name and color swap, basically done a Freaky Friday swap. My childhood hurts at this thought, but I will no doubt give it a go and see if they can prove me wrong.
I wonder how well raph being leader will work out. In every other tmnt series, Raph was never able to handle the responsibility well in the way Leo could.
April being black is not really new. She was originally designed to be that way in the Mirage comics. It was the cartoon that actually gave her the red hair and such.
RaphGirl Didn't know until now
Check out the new character designs..
False: tmntentity.blogspot.com/2018/02/was-april-oneil-originally-black-in.html?m=1
She was white in the mirage comics... they even have a figure of her and she's white...
+RaphGirl
April was designed to be black in the Mirage Comics?! ooooh girl, you lyin'! I need proof of' dat!!!
Seriously though, I need proof, because I've gone 26 years thinking April O'neil was white.
EDIT:Nevermind, I just looked it up, and....EVERYTHING I KNEW IS A LIE!!!! However, before I let my rage consume me, I can understand that every incarnation was white to maintain brand recognition... But maaaaan, this is wild...
WAIT NO I’M NOT READY YET AHHHHHH
I’m still not recovered from the ending of TMNT 2012! ;~;
I love that show so much otl. I grew up with the 2003 one and I loved that too, but the 2012 one just feels like _the turtles_ to me, despite the fact it’s not nostalgic/associated with my childhood.
I’m definitely not ready, but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited.
This doesn’t make sense, Raphael can’t be the leader of the turtles. We all know that Leonardo is the main leader of the team and Donatello is the smart tech nerd, Mikey is the party guy, And RAPHAEL is the muscle of the team not the leader.
and is for certain not the oldest.
He c a n and he *is* now
While my first reaction to this was to scream and flail at my boy Leonardo not being the leader (and that position being given to my least favorite turtle), I think I will give this show a shot. And I'll be honest: it was African-American April that changed my mind. I think that's a really interesting idea and I can't wait to see it in action. I'M STILL MAD, but I'll give it a chance.
Also, I'm not too worried about this show having a comedic tone. The Ninja Turtles have ALWAYS had an element of comedy in them, even at their most serious. I would be worried if the press release had said there would be NO comedy because that to me is the greatest indication that the team in charge doesn't know what makes the Turtles work.
An African American April O'Neil? Nice!!
Leo: *OK break time Here you go Raph, what you wished for*
Raph: Ok this will be e-z being a leader!!!
I'm so excited!!! I can't wait!! I really love that this April O'Neil is going to be different, and that Raphael will be the leader. ROB PAULSEN is PERFECT to be the director. I'll definitely continue my React To videos for this series as well. BOOYAKASHA BABY!
Ive never been a very big Turtles guy (I really like the first live action movie from the 90s and I grew up on the 2003 series but thats about it) but im actually kind of interested in seeing this new version. Sounds like theyre actually doing something new and different with it which is really refreshing for a long running franchise like this
i had no idea about this and im so hyped now wtf
Surprise!
Andre "Black Nerd" black april, big raph, all of it man im SOHYPEFTURTLEPOWERYEEEEAAAAAHBOOOOOY
id rather the show take darker tones though so thats shitty, im not diggin these kiddy comedy versions of shows that could be amazing if they took it seriously
Nice to see some diverse representation with the Turtles. I'm glad to see the turtles still staying strong and kicking ass after all these years!
That's cool they're making another TMNT.
There was an interesting short film of TMNT where the turtles are mech suits piloted by human kids and Michelangelo is their sensei. I think that would be a good idea for the the next turtle franchise. Especially with Mickey going from party dude to responsible teacher.
Ralphel the leader and Leonardo is the rebel ?!? There has to be a switch to this because I can't even see this lasting the first episode.
get bamboozled
Who Wants Tmnt 2012 And Tmnt 2018 Meet Each Other In Tmnt 2018 Episode??
I don't have a problem with April being black as long as they aren't shoving social commentary down my throat. Of course that goes for everything in general. Also sounds like they just swapped Raph and Leo, not just in role but personality as well. If that's the case it's a bit of a let down. There's really no reason to swap them if they are still doing the same stuff. Of course this is just preliminary information and its entirely possible both characters will have unique personalities which is fine. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on it.
I kinda grew out of tmnt while it was in the final season but.. now i am into it againXD.
Actually some 84 comics depicted APRIL as being Black
I meant in a movie/animated series.
Andre "Black Nerd" Quick Question: Do you have hopes for the show and will you by its merchandise?
Yeah totally black looking, oh wait no... images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21300000/April-Raph-Comics-ninja-turtles-21336519-600-636.jpg
Also last I checked, not many black people with the last name O'Neil
racist alert
+J Smooth Soul Beats clearly you don't understand the meaning of the word racist.
This is really neat! The April thing made me squeal, thats so cool!!
hmm these turtles voice actors got some "flavor" if you know what i mean
SuikodenPlayer flavor flav?
Darrell Bales Yeahhhhh boiiiiii
Darrell Bales
Cuz they black.
I'm gonna miss the current tmnt I loved the series especially the voice cast,when I heard Andrea say that it's ending I almost cried
When you said Raphael will be bigger, I immediately pictured the deformed character design of Sonic Boom. Can you imagine Raphael with the body style of Knuckles?...
NeoEyeBeLeave i liked that in sonic boom but at least he wasn’t the leader
Dude I'm so hype for this. I mean, Raphael being the leader(except for that one song) has been unprecedented. So I'm really excited to see how that plays out.
The Turtles will survive
The comic kid くそ the turtles will survive only barely because they are badasses, wait....................this reminds me of...............mettel........... and thomas and friends, remember the days of wooden railway, ya they arnt fully painted and have no dome.............
an engine without a dome is not a proper engine, dispicalbe, youll never see me without a dome...................2018,...................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I CANT BE SEEEN LOL.
I'm very nervous, but excited. I mean I originally hated the idea of the 2012 series, but now I love it!
This Show is DEAD TO ME RIGHT NOW!
Batman3217 what...why???
I was in shock for a second about Raphael and Leonardo trading roles in this new series. But can't judge until I watch it.
Raphael being the leader? Why? Just why? Still, if done interestingly, I suppose I can give that idea a shot. And Leo is a rebel now? All they did was reverse the turtles personalities... oh well.
I don't recognize the names of anyone of the new TMNT voice cast except for Eric Bauza as Splinter and Rob Paulsen as the voice director. BTW, Paulsen moving from voice actor to voice director? Way to take it to the next level!
#VoiceDirectorPaulsen
I love tmnt
