*2012 SPLINTER WON My Video Glitched* AND Here is My Review of The New RISE TMNT Movie and Made sections talking about
The NEW Casey JONES and Every Version of The KRAANG NOW Go check it out :)
ua-cam.com/video/JDWWhk0GGeI/v-deo.html
Woo! I was so excited about the movie, and seeing Leo's character development in it made me so happy.
And proud that he's the first Turtle in the Rise series to curse lmao
Thanks, I knew 2012 splinter won 🏆
Yes let’s go thank you oh my gosh you mean so much to me
I’ve been watching that show/2012 for my whole life. The love for 2012 TMNT started when I was 1 or 2
After rewatching this vid, in the April section
Man is like you had a volume button for how FERAL YOU WERE:)))))
In the 2012 series I thought it was so badass when the Turtles’ pupils went completely white bc it showed that Shit was getting real
Yeah and when they hide in the shadows and attack together It was like they were the villains in a horror movie.

Kinda like Gargoyles.

Next mutation:hell lol
@@pakspider6482 whats that?
Comics first
@@dreamcastdazia4753 next mutation was a live action tmnt show
It was weird but it had its moments
@@Yundemz I would rather watch the next mutation over Rise any day.
I think overall TMNT 2012 is just the perfect blend of what the Turtles have been over the years. The series is comedic, emotional and sometimes dark. Thanks to it's pretty long run it was able to pick something from almost all of the series history, both in story lines, tone and characters. Doesn't mean it's the best the turtles have ever been but if someone would ask me what TMNT is all about, I would definitely recommend TMNT 2012 (especially speaking of shows/cartoons)
Leo from Rise was meant to eventually become the leader because of how suited he was for it, but the show got canceled so the writers had to rush everything.
But that's the thing. In most iteration Leo became the 'leader' because he was the most responsible from the start.
And in ROTTMNT Leo is not suited to be a leader. He is very selfish (tho is willing to apologize) self centered. He is willing to make the worst decisions to 'look' cool. In ROTTMNT he just outright puts his brothers in danger.
I know the writers intended to make him a leader trough a lengthy progress, but why bother? Raph was perfectly fine as the 'leader' in this iteration. Leo had nothing which made him more suitable than Raph, except his penchant of making inspiring speeches.
And the will of the writers.
@@pepita2437
It was a build up for his character growth, which was rushed because Nickelodeon...it' what he learned in the movie. Take responsibility.
@@rise.-mikey In most iterations Leo was the responsible kid from the start, and that is why he was chosen as a leader.
In the comics/cartoons Leo was always focused, responsible, driven, and self sacrificing.
Most of these abilities he had from childhood, were good, and bad at the same time.
He was also an introvert in most iterations.
ROTTMNT fundamentally changed the character. I would have been able to accept ROTTMNT Leo as Leo, if they didn't made him an attention seeking clown.
I think Mutant Mayhem Leo is far better as far as an inexperienced Leo goes, who is not a leader yet.
@@pepita2437 That's the point of Rise, the changes. It was a nice chance of pace from every single almost identical iteration with Leo.
@@rise.-mikey None of the Leo's were almost identical, but they were still recognizable.
12 Leo was geeky, and the other turtles always made fun of his very archaic sense of honor.
03 Leo was vey focused, and was constantly fighting with his feeling of inadequacy, and his past traumas (he even had PTSD)
BAyverse Leo was very cautious, but at the same time they made him very controlling.
Original Mirage TMNT Leo was honorable, driven, wise, and self scarificing to an extent that he had no life outside of taking care of his family(had eldest daughter syndrome). But at the same time he was relatively dark, and much more willing to do the dirty work.
All of these Leonardo's were different, but the core personality traits were the same (his willingness to do the right thing, being responsible, his empathy, his focus etc).
Other comic book/series Leo's were like different flavors of the same products. Like different flavored KitKats.
ROTTMNT Leo instead of a different flavored KitKat was a bowl of ice cream.
I think you didn't like Leo as a character. Now that they made an OC named Leonardo, you like him. But don't forget Leo have been existing since the 80's. And people loved him since his creation because he was reliable, responsible and honorable.
A few years down the line, no one will remember ROTTMNT. Because it was not what the fans wanted. Why do you think they cancelled it? They realized it does not work.
The winner is: KIDS! Every time a new TMNT comes out, there's a new generation of kids who gets a sweet new Turtles show.
Perfect reaction
This is the kind of positivity we need to see in this community.
Only og's will remember when Ken came out .
@@TiaraStarbrighter they’ll be back one day though. All that negativity from Rise would have anyone feeling sad
@@TiaraStarbrighter I grew up with the 80s cartoon, so that was my nostalgia...but we always have to remember that each new version of the show isn’t for us, it’s for the 8-10 year olds at that moment in time, who were too young to remember each previous version. It’ll always be a new kids show for new kids. I’m not entirely sure why Rise “failed”, but it wasn’t due to older fans rejecting it. TMNT cartoons live or die by the kids who are watching it.
I think ppl would be more open to Rise if they viewed it just like “Spiderverse”. No one complained about Peter Parker’s character or gender-swapped Doc Ock - it was just cool! I love Rise’s twists, the Casey reveal, and even how Raphael was the leader. Rise’s existence doesn’t erase the other shows or their equally excellent quality! TMNT is just the best. 🐢👊
Exactly.
Which shouldn’t be too hard considering how multiverse stories happen in almost every iteration.
I mean, April changes jobs, age, hair and species in previous iterations. Why was race so hard to swallow?
Yeah, but Peter Parker being depressed and a "gender-swapped Doc Ock" (read as, Olivia Octavius) wasn't anything new by the time Spider-Verse came out. They were both based off of existing material that got relevant enough to be referenced in the movie, much like everything else that came with it.
I like most of the changes in Rise, but some, like Baxter becoming a child media influencer, or the Purple Dragons becoming a trio of highschool hackers, were just too baffling to suspend my disbelief for. That's what my problem with Rise was character-wise, Black April and Girl Casey were fine.
Also I found it really funny that people refused to watch rise because Leo wasn’t in charge when in the original tmnt movies, Raph was the leader anyways
@@squash.1462 Not quite. While it is true that Turtle Power by Partners in Kryme (which plays in the 1990 movie) had the lyrics-
“Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello make up the team
with one other fellow, Raphael.
He's the leader of the group, transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop.”
-Raphael wasn’t actually the leader in the 1990 movie. It became a bit of a meme/misconception for a while (usually with there being a rivalry between him and Leonardo over who should be leader in some works) before it finally got a payoff in Rise with Raphael being the official leader instead of a temporary one.
@@whichcache2517 i like the joke at the end of rise in which splinter said blue was in charge now hell the movie felt like Leo's story into becoming a great new leader which rocked
As a massive long time TMNT fan, I gotta say 2003 is my favorite. It contains everything I love from the turtles. The only downside would be the fact that Shredder was not a human.
Shredder was not a human ? He was lol.
@@Rachebart currently rewatching the 2003 tmnt and on the middle of season 2. I can confirm, so far, they made Shredder a utrom (alien species of the krang and the guardians).
@@maskedxin3437 yes but thats not the real shredder.
@@Rachebartbut the real Shredder was also a demon not a character
*Turtles Count It Off!*
2012 TMNT will always be my fave, A big reason for that being because I grew up with it and it was the first version I watched. But even when comparing it with the other series, the plot, characters, animation style, and just everything seems perfect.
I agree
Zoomers grew up with nothing good. I feel sorry for you.
@@Sothpawman On the contrary, I love all my childhood shows. I grew up with ATLA so I consider myself elite.
Same
@@Sothpawman bruh what are you on about just admit 2012 is good
My favourite thing about Rise is the family dynamics.
The brothers having nicknames for each other, the turtles calling Splinter dad instead of master or farther.
And the family drama two, like the one episode where Donnie gets upset with Splinter, because he lied about wanting to hang out with them
Yes! The fact that the turtles+splinter genuinely care about eachother is one of my favorite parts of the show.
Is the show of rise canceled?
@@megmeg2458 Probably yeah, there's a small chance they'll bring it back cus of how popular they movie was, but it's unlikely
@@megmeg2458 We aren't sure yet, but probably.
Dude the episode where Donnie yelled at Splinter for just using his inventions caught me off guard with how emotional it got suddenly and I’ve never gone from laughing my ass off to on the verge of tears within 10 seconds like that
I love all the art styles. The art style of ROTMNT makes all the turtles look more unique.
It made 9 year old me re live my donnie phase bro-
@@mimiations6166 it pains me that I can relate to this-
Raph in ROTMNT is definitely unique compared to the other iterations of him.
Someone could argue that the turtles should all look the same because, well, they're ninjas. But the character design works here because the series has a much more different, comedic tone than the previous ones and I LOVE IT! It wasn't made for selling toys, so that's a bonus lol
@@pimpkins0831 Pretty sure it's confirmed the turtles are like.. different turtle types? Idk if i'm right but i think Donnie's a soft shell
I think my favorite is 2012 just because of the witty and charming dialogue and quips. It did get repetitive over time with their constant sass, but they really felt like teenagers and it had a lot of LOL moments for me.
2012 is 100% my fav though I get why some people may disagree. I just loved the character depth and the thoroughly good character growth and sincere back story. Rise as a close second though. I started by watching the movie (bad idea) and I stopped with in the first 5 mins bc I didn’t like the concept of them having powers and their highly changed personalities. BUT, after pushing myself to watch the entire thing, it was AMAZING! The character growth is phenomenal, though 2012 still takes the win for me personally:)
I love tmnt 2012 because the elements are so balanced; the action, the humor, the family fluff, the angst, etc. Loved how they use 'enemies to friends' trope for most characters' interaction. The only thing I don't like is the shredder's motivation. All he thought about was revenge. He literally cared more about getting revenge than saving earth and his daughter. I was hoping he had more plausible motivation for hating Splinter, or at least turn him into a morally grey character. But no, he was pure evil for some reason
Honestly, I think they wanted to imply that he sort of went insane over the years. He wasn't pure evil, because at one point he was the underdog to his brother (Hamato Yoshi). Hamato would best him in every aspect of life, including love. He was jealous and heartbroken, and kind of manipulative, but when their master and Hamato's wife died he lost all the things that he was adamant on fighting for. He even thought Hamato was dead, the man who he had grown up alongside with as a brother. And even before all of that happened, he was told that he was only adopted because his father was the previous leader of The Foot clan, a clan notorious for evil back then. He thought he lost everything.
But when he found Niwa (I hope I spelt that right.) he remembered how he promised Hamato's wife that he'd take care of them both. So, with a heavily burnt face and not much of another choice, he took Niwa and went to rebuild The Foot. Over the years he became obsessed with being better than Hamato was, so much so that he manipulated himself into believing that Karai was his biological daughter and Hamato was the one who killed her mother (Hamato's wife). He fell into a slight madness due to his obsessions, which drove him to strive for perfection and become the malevolent clan leader he became.
The big thing, however, is that revenge wasn't his motive for moving to New York. Or starting up The Foot again. See, he had also become obsessed with keeping Niwa as his own. He put her through vigorous training all of her life and kept her in the dark about her true past, even changing her name so that she'd have no ties to Hamato. He fed her lies to ensure that she would be his. Except to him it was the truth, because he'd been telling himself those very lies for years. He lost bits and pieces of his mind before he even got to New York. And he only really went there because going was something Hamato's wife wanted to do.
But when he learned that Hamato was also there, that he now had other kids, and that those kids were ruining his empire that had taken him over 15 years to build. . . He started to lose a lot more sanity a lot faster than before. But he only wanted to stop the turtles from destroying his empire first. He didn't even know Hamato was alive when he knew of the turtles. It was when he learned that bit of information that he wanted to kill them all.
Well he wasn’t totally pure pure evil ( but he did sounded kinda dumb/insane repeating the turtles splinter thing ) since he still cared about Karai despite using her, since as Super shredder he had to do a lot of injections before not hesitating against the Karai hologram
Édit ; nvm the comment above me did it better
Shredder's motivation in 2012 was still probably the best one though. The other Shredders all wanted to conquer or destroy Earth just because they wanna. Especially 2003. Like the guy had no backstory at all and does evil things just because.
But that's exactly why he was good. He's the Shredder. He's supposed to be evil
I think Shredder's motivation could have made more sense if they had focused on WHY he loved Tang Shen and what she brought out in him, which I feel like no version has ever explored.
2012 and 2003 versions will always hold a special place in my heart
Me too I don't know why maybe it's because I was born in 06
Faxxxxx
Me too
Same
I wish they released at least 1 more episode
TURTLE POWEEERR!
2003 will always be my all time true TMNT to me, so faithful to the original comics, pushed the boundaries for what was accepted on kids TV back in the day and treated it's audience with respect. Such raw consistency ❤
My favorite is definitely the 2012 series, but 2003 is a close second. I loved how the 2012 series combined the dark elements from the 2003 series (and comics, but since I never read those I don't feel comfortable using it as comparison), and the humor from the 1987 series. And I loved how the turtles behaved like actual teenagers! That bothered me when rewatching the 2003 series, they rarely felt like teens to me.
As for favorite character, it differs per series. 1987's favorite is Raphael, because I love meta humor and he broke the 4th wall the most often. 2003 and 2012 favorites are Leonardo, I don't know why, all I know is that I crushed on both of them. And my favorite in Rise is Donatello, because as an autistic person I just relate to him the most.
Because you're younger teens were different before they all had phones.... SMH they were smarter more capable.
@@wiseass7245 Lol is this the point where I say Ok Boomer?
Rise is such a fresh take on this franchise to me and it is a damned shame that old heads can't just let some things go and embrace change, especially when it's as well made as Rise is.
It was too much change and too soon. It came out the year after the 2012 series that people really liked. If it had a few years between, it would have done better.
@@candycover sure buddy, this is why we can't have nice things man. I legit was talking about embracing change, you are the people I'm talking about man plain and simple.
This is why Disney and all these corporations rehash and reuse properties for purely the nostalgia and that will always be way way worse than anything new
@@kyoijin_bois3016 well rise is a rehash of an old series and isn't new.
For someone born in 2003 and watched both 2003 and 2012 TMNT. I can't lie that I can also prefer the shows that are memorable to me. I was like that with Teen Titans go (when I was a pre-teen/child) and didn't like it because of how they canceled the original show on a cliffhanger. But now that im older and more mature, I accepted that the new reboots could be good or even better than the show I grew up with. I haven't watched Rise but im planning to with an open mind since the fight scenes are so smooth like butter.
@Kian I feel the same way
2012 was my introductory series, but Rise's community truly is chill. Seems to be that way with a lot of fandoms with a more heavy leaning towards high quality animation (Duck Tales reboot, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Owl House, & even Adventure Time come to mind)
Same i love tmnt but rise is one my favorites
100% agree. i originally watched 2012 as a kid and now im watching rise after i finished amphibia. it's been good so far and i can't wait to eventually get to the movie. 2012 makes me super nostalgic tho.
That and Rise also has anime influence, at least for the battle scenes
Rise's community hasn't been very chill, at least from what I've seen. I see most of them brutally tearing down the other TMNTs just to prove Rise is better, and that keeps me from really enjoying it.
@@rinyaskyline Oh? What site(s) & tags?
The original deserves all the credit for making turtles into the phenomenon it became. It went from a cult indie comic to an overnight worldwide sensation. It was like the beatles or Star Wars. The media called it Turtlemania.
The entire look, character design, music and intro are crazy iconic and every reimaging is influenced by it.
That does not mean its the best show (it's probably the worst), however it did have the best April and I will die on this hill!
2012 one is the first series I watched at the time when I was *_6_* years old. It impacted me so much. When I revisited the show this year (I'm now 15), it literally makes me cry especially the final episodes of Mutant Apocalypse. I don't know how to describe it but I got so attached to it that I kind of absorbed each one of the turtles' personalities. It is so memorable I remembered all of the turtles' traits, personalities, obsessions etc. The lessons of life the episodes teaches really inspires me to care about relationships with our families
The 2012 version had a lot of memories for me
Specifically how well they handle the cgi. That shit is hard to do right regardless of time period
I remember I had surgery on my eyes as a kid so I couldn’t open my eyes for a week and all I remember is just listening to Tmnt 2012 and I knew what was happening because I’ve seen it so much. I’m 14 now and that happened when I was 7 or 8 and I still watch the show,
Who doesn't? They treated the show so nicely, and thats hard for another tv shows
Remember Fanboy and ChumChum’s cgi
@@Honored1. DONT YOU DARE-
@@Pocket-Lent agreed
Each interation represents the personality of a turtle imo.
1. 1987 is Leonardo (The first lead to an animated series)
2. 2003 is Raphael (Brooding and Darker series)
3. 2012 is Michelangelo (The heart and most humorous series)
4. Rise is Donatello (The Smartest and innovative changes to the turtles in a series)
sounds about right
I think of rise as mikey cool tho
Donnie in rise is such a-
I just love him
That explains why micky is my favorite turtle
And then there will be a 5th tmnt cartoon show people will forget making Venus the ninja turtle everyone forgets.
I grew up with 2012 TMNT, but that doesnt mean i hate the others, ROTTMNT is damn amazing with the animation and fight scenes and i really enjoyed the crossover episodes with the 1987 and the 2012 TMNT, these were really fun to watch and i really injoyed it
After reading some of the recent comments, it's been made apparent it just might be a generation thing. If they were to replay the entire 2003 series on TV from start to finish I'd wager all the children who grew up on the 2012-2018 version would have a difference of opinion. It was just that good: In action, moral, comedy, suspence etc.. birthed the most fearsome shredder to date.
You can’t ever go wrong when it comes to TMNT. Every series has it’s own unique aesthetic.
Omg is this my precious boy Tristepin de Percedal/ Sir Tristepin of Sadlygrove on your profile picture!!!
@@kaloyanpetrov7863 you bet it is hahaaaa, I love him. I had never seen a comic relief character had a character arc about accepting that he is a comic relief.
So cool.
@@pabloiriqui6128 Yes indeed but still even as a comic relief character he is actually a formidable foe and big part of the team. And he is the sweetest father ever.
Bro Wakfu series are so underrated.
@@kaloyanpetrov7863 If you want to make a character lovable, make them good dads.
It sends a great message AND everyone loves it.
Yes
2012 was like a middle ground in TMNT. 2003 was serious, 1980 was goofy, and rise was a combo of serious and goofy.
I love growing up watching 2012 tmnt and i also love 2018 tmnt
2012 is also very serious, tho
@@thatpoorlonelyguywhonobody2143 yea but it had the comedy at balanced it out but still had more action. Then rise had more comedy over action but still a good balance
@@thetruebatman665, yeah, thats right
@Red Rex I would argue it wasn't trying to do either
I actually appreciate this viewpoint so much, that’s for being the guy to put it out there :) we NEED more tmnt fans like this bro!!!!
I prefer the 2012 version the most. I appreciate the distinct appearance of each turtles, the design of Shredder's armor, and Super Shredder. Tiger Claw's addition as a new character was also appealing. The portrayal of Krang as an entire race rather than an individual is intriguing. The animation is notably clean and reminiscent of the quality seen in classic Disney movies.
What I love about ROTTMNT is that they are the most unique. I feel like they give off the most teenager vibes. I love how Mikey acts like the youngest brother while also being really friendly and open. I love how Raphael is the big, overprotective brother while and doesn’t have huge anger issues, but that was replaced with his isolation issues that gave him pure rage moments. He’s a big sweetheart, which I also greatly adore. I like Donny for his neutral tones and funny remarks while also being a tech whizz, but also greatly cares for his brothers in his own ways. And I absolutely love Leo for his funny actions and lack of maturity, since they are teenagers after all. They weren’t raised by a completely serious father, which could explain why they are so immature, but I really feel like it adds to the fact that they are still children and don’t need to grow up so fast to compare to serious adults. And like in all the movies, their are many alternative universes/dimensions of the tmnt’s. So I feel like it it’s cool that we stepped out of the lines of seriousness and shows that not all the dimensions are gonna be similar. Although, their storyline is a bit whacky since the series got cut short, but I really feel like the show had a lot of potential. And I love how they made April. She’s a confident teenager that’s not afraid to stand up and fight. Having a change of pace kinda feels good.
Couldn’t agree more that show made me so happy
69 likes.....i’ma ruin it
As much as I love the 2012 TMNT I could not stand April in that show and am just so glad that Rise TMNT made April a good and likable character
@@melmelon3393 I agree
I agree, i feel like the only way the older series could think of passing them off as teenagers was if they made them eat a lot of pizza. They could all be 30 and still have the same personalities they did.
Rise had better concepts for animated kids and also the dynamics between every character was more unique. The adventures were more fun while in older episodes i could tell you the plot before finishing half the episode.
Now I wanna see a crossover special with
1987 Donnie,
2003 Michelangelo
2012 Raphael
And Rise Leonardo
Cool,but think about this.
1987 Mikey
2003 Raph
2012 Leo
Rise Donnie
@@donquixote2920 That's also a good mix
I, on the other hand, would like:
83- Leonardo (he is the leader. And it is right to present the first)
03- Michelangelo (he is the wittiest. But at the right point)
12- Donatello (different from the others I find that this one has more "personality")
18- Raphael (I will say, of all the turtle I like the least. Too bad that many adore him because of his fight against anger. he is also the boss, another excuse to get involved and not always just be the hothead of the team)
@@DM006 Nice👍
I like rise Donnie more than any Donnie personally
Hey JaxBlade, thank you for resparking my love/interest with the franchise. I grew up with the original cartoon and movies. I'm now watching the 2012 TMNT and rise of the TMNT shows with my 10 year old daughter. Thank you Jax :)
Cool! ❤ i hope she enjoys the show!
For people wondering YES I DID SEE MUTANT MAYHEM Heres the REVIEW Thumbs Up to Boost it haha
ua-cam.com/video/rH1D4Ied2g4/v-deo.html
Even 2012 mikey used to hum the 1987 theme song
ua-cam.com/video/SvMCLuRIYhw/v-deo.html
The sole reason Rise wasn't as loved is because people were either too old to get the appeal or were just too nostalgic, or too young to even understand the beauty of TMNT in general. I am kind of in between of those two so I gave it a shot. Although it was a very different experience, it still felt like watching TMNT. As the show progressed, it just got better and better, and the finale, although rushed, was more than satisfying and I was hyped like hell when I first saw the trailer for the movie.
That balloon... it can't be... Balooney?
I didn't grow up with TMNT so when the internet promised me autism rep (Donnie obv) I was old enough to enjoy the show but also had no nostalgia glasses
@@bubjohnson7441 that's a juvenile joke and not funny to most. Yes it's a kids show aimed at kids, but those kids grew up and so though you direct the show towards the kids in a new age, you still have to bring the older in too. There's words and phrases and wording that's new to the 80s generation, and humour has changed as well.
@@Anxiousbug that's what had me watch clips of the rise turtles, It was OK, though I tried an episode and couldn't finish it. The jokes and that fat lazy washed-out rat done it in for me.
@@k-dogg9086 my friend, hes talking about Михајло's profile picture lol
tbh, im sticking with the 2003 version because its the one i've watched the most as a kid, but I enjoyed the 2012 version aswell
one element that was sort of mentioned but deserves more praise with 2012: THE CAST. good GOD they're a perfect mix of actors who's voices fit their characters perfectly. Donatello is voiced by Rob Paulsen, of Animaniacs fame, where he voiced Yakko. Also voiced Carl Wheezer in Jimmy Neutron. Michaelangelo is Greg Cipes, the perfect voice for Mikey and Beast Boy. Leo's Seth Green is perfect with the dramatic and comedic/nerdy stuff. Raph as Sean Astin, Samwise fuckin Gangee from Lord of the Rings, ironic and perfect for him to play a strong, tough character
Definitely the 2012 series. Good character development and the way the pay homage to previous incarnations was perfect! I'd also like to point out that 2012's crossover with the other versions of the turtles was better.
I love 2003 versions of the turtles but the 2012 Turtles are badasses awesome LOL and my favourite character is is Raphael and Leo because they are badass and awesome.
not definitely, it’s your own taste
I love 2012 the most too, but my only problem is they kill splinter so many times that when he actually dies i did not care
Like he would just not fuck off. And even when he did die they found ways to bring him back
@@ahaha272 He died once, and they undid it. The second was real.
@@conscientiam_sui7385 yeah but for a couple episodes they made it seem like he died in the invasion only to find out that he just became an actual rat with his spirit disconnected to his body for some reason
It kinda feels like each series is told by a different turtle
I would think:
'87 - Donatello
'03 - Raphael
'12 - Leonardo
Rise - Michaelangelo

2012 was my childhood, I was so mad when it ended and the Rise serious begun. But now I see the story just ended and nothing could be done.
TMNT 2012 was a life changer for me, it just was and still is the base of my childhood,I remember every single thing that happened and it's just a huge part of me,tho I love 2003 a lot because I remember having a great time with it,but I only remember that,I didn't finish rise because I was watching for the first time when It Aired but I was wierded out by the changes,then I stopped watching tv so I because of that I didn't finish the series,I can't say anything about 1993 one cuz I only watched parts and highlights on yt,
As someone who worked as an animator on the 2012 version of the show and a Leo stan, respect. I love every single series as well with the exception of Rise and that's cause I haven't seen it yet. This has given me a lot to look forward to and I will definitely watch it now.
Thanks for your contribution. You did AMAZING Work
That’s so cool I can’t believe you were an animator on my favorite show as a kid
Plz make more of the 2012 series I hate the new one so much
Only og's remember when the turtles killed shredder in the first issue of the comics.
@@Ccravox ok but give me three reasons why that aren't nostalgia based
My favorite running gag in Rise was Donnie's Drill; In I think the second episode, the drill is introduced and carried gear for the turtles, but Donnie said it was just to transport the gear as it was in beta. This drill appears again multiple times throughout the show, and Donnie kept saying it was in Beta when he was asked if it was finished.
Lol Donnie is me with art I swear- I'll show it but when I'm asked of progress I say its unfinished because I keep not working on it lol
I loved 2012. Not because i watched it when i was younger, but for the amazing story it had and the lovable dynamic between each character. But i did start to lose interest in it after the space episodes but still loved it. I did see a few episodes of 2003 and i want to watch more but idk where to watch it. It looks and sounds amazing
all of the 03 eps are on yt
TMNT 2012 is offensively good, like, I'm offended by how good it is. It's THAT good. Easily the best show of the bunch.
2003 is better. Far more dark, gritty and sticks to the lore.
Far better characters as well in my opinion.
Turtle Power. I really like Raph 2012 because he's anger stems from him being more sensitive than most, I thought. You could see this with his love for various animals he cared for. Seem like a kid just trying overcompensate and having a hard time getting in touch with his emotions. Which I could relate from.
Exactly
Sean Astin was really interesting casting for him, too. Good choice.
MrLittleSam i litterally get angry like 90% of the time because of sensitivity and it shows how relatible and realistic the 2012 tmnt show is.
God damn i miss the 2012 tmnt show😔
BOOYAKASHA!
Yeah I love 2012 Raph
Ozzy's World Im with ya here
I hope rottmnt gets continued. Every generation needs a new tmnt, my mom grew up with the 1983 and my aunt grew up with the 2003 version and I grew up with the 2012. I really hope my little cousins can grow up with rise.
Unfortunately from what I’ve heard it’s been cancelled, BUT their is a Netflix movie coming soon that I hope serves as a finale to this Turtles series before moving on to the next one.

Im 12 and i grow up with the 2012
@ASTROTHUNDERアストロ✨ :)
I haven't watched Rise, but I currently am watching TMNT 2012. I will watch it sometime in the near future after I takes a break from TMNT after I watched TMNT 2012... I love the 2012 version,because it was a big huge shoutout to classic 80s cartoons and 90s trilogy. I love the actors voiced Leopardo (Jason Big for seasons 1 and 2; Seth Green for the rest of Series). I think it was cool that the same voice actor who voiced Raph in the 80s cartoon that was doing Donnie. I think he did an amazing job. I love the show has entered around Leo and Donnie.... I love Donnie have a chemistry with April and he distracted when he looked at her with his study, because he's willing to do anything to help her... I love how Leo had portrayed in the 2012 series and I think this version of him is way better than 2003,because I thought the 2003 version of him was a more showoff and selfish jerk. In the 2012's version of Leo, he's very liability towards his brothers and he wants to prove himself as a leader to them...I do like Raph in 2012's TMNT and I am glad he didn't downplayed Mikey in 2012's TMNT than he did in 2003's TMNT (I found it was very disrespect toward the 80s when he said to Mikey in 2003's TMNT that don't say "Cowbuna"). I thought this version of Raph is way better than 2012's Casey Jones,because I don't care for this version of Casey Jones and I found him very cocky. Well, Raph is cocky, but Raph is more a leveled-headed than Casey that thanked to Leo as being his anchor and he does supported his brother as a leader,because he knows Leo is looking after them when he called him "Fearless Leader" by showing respect to him...I love this version of Mikey in 2012's TMNT and he stole the show. He's like a brat out of the turtle brothers and he likes to get away with everything. I thought that is freaking adorable.☺️..I really like this version of Splinter is very close to his 80s counterpart and The Shredder is very similar to his 90s movie's counterpart. I do like this twist on Karai with them...I even thought this take on April with Kraang is very interesting...I even love the family dynamic in this show and I found it's very dark but very entertaining....I really hope the show will come back with more seasons.🙏 As long it isn't the Shredder and kraang are the main villains, I could see Tiger Claw is becoming the main villain or the Rat King is coming back as the main villain (like what had happened in IDW comics). Or they will introduce King Komodo and Max Winters (a main villain from 2007's film) to the series. Hopefully if it does happen, I don't mind they will introduce Jennika as the 5th turtle and I could see she will become Casey Jones' love interest,because April's and Casey's relationship doesn't work out for me in 2012's TMNT. I found their relationship is more like brother-sister relationship than romantic one and I prefer April to be with Donnie than Casey in 2012's TMNT....This series does deserves more seasons and a proper ending.
My two older brothers had grew up with the 80s cartoons,but I remembered I had watched couple of seasons with them in 90s and I used to played their toys. I also grew up with 2003's TMNT in my teenage years, but my brothers don't like 2003's TMNT and used to teased me for liking 2003's TMNT. When I rewatched 2003's TMNT, I had agreed with my brothers that the 2003's TMNT had some flaws...I think what had ruined for me with 2003's TMNT that's they ruined The Shredder,because they should stick with The Shredder's human origin like they did from the comic with the movie and 2012'S TMNT than they made The Shredder and Kraang as the same person. The producers tried to retconed by making The Kraang was personalized The real Shredder and The real Shredder was a demon that the turtle brothers were destines to fight. I wish they should ended the series there than them go into the future then go back to fight The Kraang Shredder in a mecha suit. I thought that was dumb...I thought the turtle brothers was exploring worlds that's interesting,but I wish they should add the mutants. But I was thinking about 2012's TMNT episode where Mikey had used his imagination to helped his brothers to fight the aliens that invaded his mind. I has been thinking that 2003's TMNT was just Mike's imagination,because I think it does makes a lot of sense with Mikey. I could picture Mikey was tired of fighting mutants and imagine himself in the world where everyone's superheroes and he and his brothers has mystic powers. Mikey has one crazy, wild imagination. I wouldn't be surprise that 2003's TMNT will turn out to be Mike's imagination than universal Canon. I would be okay with that. I don't blame Mikey for being tired from fighting The Shredder and The mutants. Besides, I love Mikey and he's only one turtle that's my favorite in the 2003's TMNT series. I even love his 2012's counterpart.
Tbh. Fight scenes on the 2017 cartoon looked gorgeous but I loved the choreography of the 2012 version. Also the 2012 theme song is the best as a song even though the 1987 song is more iconic
I'll admit that I was dismissive towards the Rise TMNT bc of my bias towards the 2012 version. But seeing how Rise was gaining popularity I started to think "if it's being so well liked it can't be that bad" so I tried it out and didn't like it bc I kept comparing it to the 2012 version. I started Rise again a couple months later and this time viewed the show as ya know, it's OWN show, and after stopping myself from trying to look for the 2012 version in the new series was I able to enjoy and now LOVE Rise
i love how mickey in Rise has the knee pads with the faces on them omg i love it i was never into tmnt as a kid (not the age or gender demographic lol) but omg i want to watch every version of it it seems so cool holy shit. it was alsways one of those things where i wanted to watch it so cool and wanted to watch it bit couldn’t becuase gender, age, and some other things (🥲) anyway, brb gonna go watch it
They referenced the ice cream cat in rise.
That was how i sorta felt when i was obsessed with the 2003 version cause i grew up with it.. But i wasn't hating it SOO MUCH, just after 2 days i loved it .
I should try to keep that in mind because of my bias for the 2012 one also
The issue was 100% that the series debuted way too close to the finale of the previous incarnation.
I do not blame ppl for being unable to separate their love for the previous versions when viewing the new one. It was too soon
TMNT is blessed because there is no such thing as a bad TMNT installment
next mutation and the michael bay movies

Rise is the bad one though
1:34:24
The Next Mutation Was Horrible, The First TMNT Bay Movie was Bad, and Out Of The Shadows Was Incredible
Fun fact, the order of which the Turtles names were stated in the 2012 intro is the same order as when they were stated in the 1987 intro. Leo, then Donnie, then Raph, then Mikey
I remember watching 2012 cartoon and really enjoying it. And then I forgot about the show for the next 10 years. It was Rise of the TMNT that actually got me back into it. I don’t care if it’s more comedy. I just love how different the character designs are and I also enjoy the story. But I am meaning of rewatching the 2012 show. So I’m excited to see it again.
I appreciate the dedication in this video. Glad to have grown up with the 2003 TMNT!
Hey what’s up Nathan
Same, I loved the 2003 version
I also grew up with the 2003 series. It’s by far my favorite of the franchise.
Im glad i grew up on 2012 tmnt
I grew up with with both 2003 and 2012
2012 was my fav even though I grew up with 2003. I always loved the fact 2012 took real japanese culture and ninjutsu moves, weapons and training methods in the show. It really felt like Splinter came from Japan to New York and shared his culture with the turtles but are still New Yorker teenagers.
don't know why people sleep on 2012, it had the best stories to me. Just fun and well rounded.
@@versoturner5777 People don't sleep on 2012 or RISE, actually most fans grew up with either the 1987, or the 1990 or the 2012 turtles... It's the 2007 and the 2003 turtles that people slept or sleep on because the TMNT audience was low in the 2000s, despite some fans growing up with those instead (me included). The 2000s were kind of the golden age of cartoons, so the turtles ended up losing space to those cartoons, but picked up the pace again in the 2010s.
That's one of the main reasons I love 2012 so much. It really is what made younger me interested in Japanese culture, specifically Japanese weaponry and it feels really well represented. Never once can I recall them ever treating it like a joke, they always took great care to show that what they trained as ninjas was never to be disrespected
@@victuz2003 is constantly praised
Honestly, Every TMNT is very dear to my heart. I like to think of each version as their own alternate dimension. Each of them have their own kind of charm and flavor, including their ups and downs. Honestly it would pretty sick if we got a Turtles Forever 2 or a remake of that movie, only this time its with all the versions of them fighting their army of villians, each baddie coming from a different universe. It would be so sick! I especially want 2003 Raph to chat with 2012 Raph, and Rize Raph would be like the big guy which the other Raphs would think its pretty sick! The Donnies would be doing their own Tech wiz stuff, Rize Donnies snark would be a fun thing to see in this situation. The Mikeys would literally be vibing with each other, and heck maybe pull a sick combos with each others nunchucks. And we could even have a nice moment with the Leos talking about their teams and leadership styles. But hey thats just my inner fan speaking! 😅😂
2012 is my personal favorite, I love the story, the plot line, and every little callback, I’m a little bit biased because I grew up on it but still
I didn’t like the Rise designs at first. But just from a character design standpoint, they’re amazing, they all have drastically different builds that reflect their personalities and allow for unique silhouettes, they use shape language well, they aren’t over designed or under designed, and for the most part, they keep the essence of their original counterparts
The fact that rise got completely shit on by people because the animators decided to change up everything was really sad.
@@devont1576 yeah, i get it, but at the same time it’s so unfair to the show and it’s entire crew. I wish people wouldn’t act like that towards a reboot just for being different
@@sketchs_art_corner I dont care for a reboot being different animation wise. If I dont like the look of it then I just dont like the look of it. Rise is funny but I just dont enjoy looking at those turtles. A creator should also be prepared that when changing characters like that that you will be shitted on. Its just how things are. People take what they consider to be precious very seriously. Sucks but I can't fault people after Teen Titans Go pretty much created this mentality. I say give any show a chance to see how the writing goes. Now if the writing is crap, animation is a drastic change, and the characters are off then yeah shit on it completely.
i was mostly confused by the weapon change
@@devont1576 I blame Mr Enter for the toxic hate Rise of TMNT got.
In fact, Mr Enter is the most toxic hater of Rise of TMNT.
You know what I really love about 2012 Splinter? Is the only one who actually acts like a ninja; all Splinters are wise old men, but 2012's is the only one who used techniques like those of a ninja, using his surrounding to his advantage, and wasn't over "cheating" if meant the greater good.
True that
2003 was the best in my opinion.
@@brotherblue3340 u grew up with it
I think that’s mostly because Splinter in the 2012 series was around 40 years old so he was a lot more spryer and fast.
i fucking died when he said "and yes i said that fuck you kraang"
I love all of them because I looking like new universe, new experience there will walkways be something different that you may not like but that's what makes a new show a great one because you don't get bored watching the same thing it's good for variety but still can hold up to its pervious iterations
Rise of the TMNT is incredible. The steaming wars have produced a lot of very half-assed, shitty reboots of beloved franchises, but I gotta say Rise of the TMNT is not one of them. It’s great to see the writers put some real love and thought behind it, with really high quality animation, and I think most of the changes they made to the series are welcome.
Been watching 2012 with my kids as well. Also not bad, but I’m enjoying Rise with them a lot more.
Grew up with the 2012 version, I would say that one has to be my favorite.

I grew up with the 2012 TMNT and love it from the bottom of my heart, but I also enjoyed ROTTMNT, it truly brings a new perspective to the traditional story. April's character was so much more confident and well thought, the family dynamics between the turtles and their father are wholesome, and there is a lot more humor sided with an unique artstyle & character design.
you need to watch 2003 version
@@SupportTheLittleGuy2003 is the best version fr
I loved the 2003 version. It has crazy amounts of action and the character’s personalities were dark and brutish. Hell Raph was ready to fight in the thumbnail 😂 now the Nickelodeon one is also badass as well.
@Jj I personally enjoyed the action, but even more so the great story arcs, and the fact that at many points it got realistically dark instead of things being just magiced away. I didn't watch Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers though, and can say nothing about it. But the first 5 seasons out class all the other ones in story.
@Jj it's not even edgy
@Jj the first five seasons are extremely good. It does a better job with interconnecting stories then any other TMNT cartoon series. There is a feel to it with their action has consequences like City in a War arc. The pacing is much better in all five seasons.
Keep up the good work, dude!! MAD respect!!
Leo in the movie gets the development he needs, and there are a LOT of undermining problems with his mental state that make him think he couldn't be a good leader. Besides he was used to Raph taking charge because in that series Raph was the leader first. WE GOT ROBBED OF RISE CONTENT- Leo was most likely going to grow and flourish SO MUCH MORE. BUT WE GOT ROBBED ROBBED I SAY.
Rise is my favorite Leo, mostly because we get to see him without the burden of 'leader' and see what he'd be like as a REGULAR TEENAGER. Because it's FUCKING AWESOME TO SEE TEENAGERS BE TEENAGERS.
Rise Leo not only gets undermined A LOT by commentators and analysis people on youtube HE ALSO GOT UNDERMINED BY NICKOLODIAN BECAUSE THEY 'PAUSED' THE SHOW- KRANG WAS MEANT TO HAVE SEASON 3 I'M SO SAD.
I just love Rise so much TO T
While I do think the 2012 version is the best one. I personally prefer the 2003 series mainly because I’m just more of a fan of that art style, I liked its side characters like Stockman(which seriously how the hell did they get away with what they did to him), Karai, Casey, and April. I agree that the last 2 seasons aren’t great but they had their moments.

As someone who grow up with 2003 turtles, I still hold them dear to my heart even without the nostalgia.

yea ..its such a change in style and in story and mood that it just isn't as memorable, or as fun even-
Atleast the team song of fast forward is cool to listen too while watching the episodes.
I grew up with ‘87, I adore it and for the most part I fell under the first pillar of turtle fan. But my husband said I should try ‘12. I was like come on, the cgi is so clunky. But I fell in love with it. Now my oldest daughter is watching ‘Rise’ and we saw ‘Mayhem’ and I’m in love with it ( even though I agree that i don’t like Rises character design). But the story and the laughs, sharing with my daughter. I’ll always favor ‘87. But I might watch other incarnations. I can’t wait for the ‘Mayhem’ series.
We stan a fan who respects all versions of the show!

Honestly:
Original: Watched it as a kid and looved a loot, but the show didn't finish when it stopped airing, so I am nostalgic, but not attached.
2003: Reignited my love for the turtles and glued me to the tv, even rewatched it a few times.
2012: The best show in my mind. As a full story, it's a masterpiece, and it is the most fulfilling turtles experience.
2018: Honestly..... This show stole my heart.... in my heart and soul so far this is my favorite, I just cant deny how fun and loving it is. Never have I ever went back on a show just to watch a piece of animation, and this show made me do it multiple times.
Turtle power my dude, loved your enthusiasm
I believe that each TMNT cartoon spanning from 1987, 2003, 2012, & 2018 is significant in its own rights. In contrast to the original Mirage Comics, the original cartoon is nostalgic for children of the 1980s & has a hilarious & lighter tone of amazement. The 2003 series' tone is closer to the style of Mirage Comics, but it isn't quite as grim or gory. The 2012 series, which combines elements of both the 1987 & 2003 series, primarily features humorous moments & episodes but can sometimes be serious when needed. RotTMNT serves as more of an experiment to determine how much the characters & the story of TMNT can be modified.
2003 and the CGI ones are my personal favorite but lets be honest, all of em are the GOAT.
The CGI ones is 2012
@@R1chter.e ah ok i really liked it
2012 is the best IMO because it’s the most emotional, intriguing, hardcore, heartwarming cartoon of its decade. The expressions and reactions are more lifelike and dramatic, the action sequences are perfect and smooth, the multiple foes they meet bring them more of a challenge. The moments where they lose or fail have a more drastic impact on the story, which makes it so much more satisfying when you see them triumph over their losses. The development of all the characters, good and bad, is extremely engaging because it makes you think about what is next in-store. The best thing about this adaptation is that it is still original but also blends the material from the past in the story. Every time that happens it feels like a love letter to the series that came before it. TMNT 2012 is a joy to watch and it was a wild ride for me growing up. I am glad it is the winner. Booyakasha and Cowabunga dudes. 💚
I agree I watched the entire show 12 times and still don’t get bored
I'd have to agree and disagree. I agree one end because, yea I really did enjoy the show as kid, heck I think it did some things better than TMNT 2003, for instance shredder. Now look, the reason why I feel 2012 shredder is better than 2003's version isn't because he's oroku saki. But because of his backstory which was excellent by the way. And 2012 splinter also is the best one by far. And this show had the most emotional moments. But at the same time 2003 had the best depiction of Leonardo in terms of character, and the best designs for the TMNT, Shredder, Hun and casey, casey from 2003 was also the most likeable. Because in 2012 Casey is just this skinny kid picking a fight with people, which I felt was kind of a spit on his name. Casey in 2003 is muscular (as he should be) was the most likeable and was always there to help. 2003 also had the better intro, heck WAY better than 2012's version. It also had the best version of Raphael, because he liked to fight, tried to be there for his brothers when they needed him, and learned from his mistakes, even trying to lead people like casey down to the right path so they don't make the Sams mistakes he did. And had the best voice actor for raph. But 2012 had the more realistic animation and was the most true to how siblings, and even how teenagers are in general. Overall I think its a tie between these to awesome shows. Of course though people are allowed to have their own opinions on which show they like better. So if your saying 2012 is the best I can't blame you, its a badass cartoon show, and is definitely a lot better than fastforward and back to the sewers.
@@chrisgoris3794 You made very excellent points that I can’t argue with. 2003 was definitely one of the best especially for Casey. I respect the reason you’re more in favor of it since I also saw the series as a kid. 🙂

@@chrisgoris3794 That’s very true. Especially since he mentioned in the video that both of the series are tied in certain qualities.
Great video man! It really shows how much effort you've put into making it. Tbh, I've always been a fan of the 2003 all the way, but I must say your angle is quite solid here, it really left me thinking. I may give the 2012 turtles a chance, and maybe the RISE movie too, just for the flashy animation. Good job man, keep it up! ^^
IK this is like 2 years old, but I've grown up with TMNT and I have to say Rise has got to be my favorite iteration, I frequently rewatch it for how goofy it can be. The character changes were favorable, like how Raph became the leader or 'older sibling' and has to deal with that pressure, how Donnie actually uses his tech offensively and went from supporting cast to main stage, how Leo being free of the leader role can have a lot more personality in terms of exploring self-doubt and overcompensation, and well... Mickey's mostly the same goofy young sibling we always love.
I do wish Stockboy wasn't some kid genius, or the Purple Dragons being a laughable teen hacker gang, but the fact that Rise focused a lot more on their brotherly relationships instead of introducing like... 50 villains like the last iteration did was sweet. They felt like brothers, they felt different, it was a good change. I do however wish they explored a liiittle more with the what effects this neglectful and depressed Splinter had on his kids, instead of somewhat being a mention or a one done deal and being joked about most of the time.
2012 had so much heart, action, angst, and personality put into it. It wasn’t afraid to add wild things into their episodes, and it was such a blast to watch the brothers grow. 2012 will always be my number one
2012 had the best characterization of any of the animated shows.
I know, when you realize that hey started with 15 years and end with 18 or more. You can see the little details on their skin color, height or their voices. They are not the same from s1 to s5 like the others
@@2OldGeeksTalking "2012 had the best characterization of any of the animated shows."
Yeah, no, as someone who grew up on 2012 tmnt, the rise cast is wayyyyy better in terms of character writing and consistency.
2012 was my favorite of all time
I greatly respect rise and 2003 due to the art and animation
Favorite turtle is Leo but in rise is Donnie
But I love and respect all of them
A little off topic but the angle dust t-shirt is fire!!❤❤
Truth.
The '03 series was by far the greatest hell just watching this video makes me want to watch it again. I honestly wish they would reboot it if it would've come now instead of then I'm sure it would last so much longer.
I found it funny when Ralph was captured and the man asked “what nice blades you have, mind telling me who gave them to you” and Ralph said “yo mama”
Love that, I laughed so hard cause I didn’t expect that
@@philosophyandhappiness2001 I mean, I guess
Ralph?
I love the early 2000s
@@trealsteve I see u watch helluva boss
Hands down 2003 Turtles, As far as seriousness, humor, character depth, continuity, actual fighting and creativity they win hands down.
I agree

i agree
MAN! 2003 got DARK! I still remember Baxter's jaw falling off and decomposing. And that dimensional tournament....yeah it good. I think if someone thinks the other versions are better, they just haven't seen this version fully.
@@EpicCureMD yes this was the best Turtles
When I watched tmnt 2012 when i was younger, and damn it was good, re-watching the series again with my nostalgia goggles made me hype af, ending up with my tmnt phase improved and revived.
2003 TMNT is personally my favorite since I grew up with that and it had everything I hoped for
as someone who watched 2012 as a kid but is scared to revisit because of embarrassment, this video is what i needed to finally go back without the rose tinted glasses. im proud of "my" tmnt for just making it to the top in your review :)
embarrassment? I am 21 and I am rewatching it after 10 years
@@raht9578 me too, xD I watched the serie now that I'm 23 and its amazing
There's nothing to be embarrassed about for the 2012 it's my favourite compared to other shower and I like it 👍
The 2012 TMNT is my favorite because it’s the only TMNT show I’ve ever seen
It’s my favorite as well
TMNT is one of those series that has changed with every generation. I grew up with the original, but honestly, I love them all for different reasons. The original is nostalgic and funny, 2k3 has great action. 2k12 has great characters and plot and 2k18 had some of the most amazing fight scenes I've ever seen. Also it wasn't afraid to try new things.
Also, most might know this, but the IDW comics are freaking amazing as well.
Yes! Finally, someone else has a same thought as mine!!

Hurray! I feel the same!
Yes!! I think the same :,)
Why is nobody talking about how *STUNNING* that intro was. *THAT WAS SUCH A FRESH INTRO*
I like most of them for different reasons:
- The early seasons of the 1987 TMNT series are iconic and a mainstay in pop culture but the turtles look too cute and round. I like their designs from Season 8 onwards.
- the 2003 TMNT series would be perfect if not for that terrible time jump with Fast Forward. The series was never the same from then on.
- the 2012 series are the most balanced out of them but they insist a bit too much on monsters and crap. It has a consistently good atmosphere though.
- I like the Turtles' costume designs of Next Mutation (although it's not on the list)
- I don't care about Rise of the TMNT. Perhaps some family dynamics, but it has no other drawing factors for me.
I honestly love how the Rise turtles are different species cause it adds so many more possibilities for so many things and I hope they do more like that in future iterations.
I didnt like rise of the turtles because the show wasn't exciting as all the rest and Ralph ain't post to be leader leo is and splinter look more like a mole then a rat
They should've just made a new show with new characters.
Rise of the turtles was the worst one
@@fireandiceproductionz7093 Tbh I disagree on that, maybe its bc it's a comfort show but I just think it gives a whole "newer" look on the characters and it kinda allows change and a more modern version and I also like the style but I think saying it's the worst is a little hard, everytime they made new shows something changed and I think it's good but just my take except I hate the rise splinter he was done horribly
@@lavenderweirdo6080 I never thought of it that way. And I think splinter was done bad. Its just because he looks like a mole instead of a rat Hahha
Being born in 2001, I spent my very early years growing up with the 2003 series and I loved the first two 90’s movies, and I was so excited when Nickelodeon was bringing a new show back in 2012 and I’m so happy it delivered. It still holds up today and it’s safe to say it’s been my favorite one for years
Same man , I even watched the orginal series back on UA-cam
Bit of the same for me except I was born in 2000 and watch the 3 common kids channels Disney Nick and Cartoon Network (back when in it brim how I miss those glory days) and my first TMNT being 2012
fast foward and back to the swears are so underrated i love them so much
