Sprite
(He/Him/His)
I started watching Rise of the TMNT a couple days ago and… apparently people hate this show? I’m not sure why. I’m guessing because it’s wacky and it changes personalities around quite a bit, but the premise has always been beyond goofy and previous shows had no qualms about making big lore changes. The only change I genuinely dislike is turning Splinter into a useless couch potato, though I’ve read that he gets better as the show goes on.
What I do like is the really unique Spumco meets Studio Trigger animation style and the wildly different designs for each of the turtles. Lots of characters flinging themselves around with dynamic camera angles and such. I’m sad that we’re not gonna get any games in this style because these turtles would’ve played super differently.
Anyway, apparently it kind of bombed and got canned halfway through season two, though they got a chance to wrap it up and make a Netflix movie. Here’s hoping whatever is next keeps trying to experiment with the concept and doesn’t just rehash the old days (though, of course, I also love when they rehash the old days).
So! TMNT! Is the earlier Nick show worth watching? I never tried it. It’s surprising how evergreen (heh) this concept is. It’s up there with Scooby Doo as managing to just constantly reboot itself.
