Brave and the Bold is nothing like Adam West Batman but it's awesome since it explores the more wacky non-gritty/realistic aspects of the franchise and its basically fan service galore. Season 1 is weak.
The Batman is hated but I liked a lot of the changes it did and it gave us some excellent characters eventually the show turned into Batman TAS lite which is when people started to like the show but for me it was the opposite since it was just a lesser version of BTAS instead of being its own thing. We just got a more "traditional" TMNT show, if they were going to do something similar they would've just given us a sixth season, it's obvious this will be different, while I've been trolling about it I indeed wanted a Teen Titans Go type of show full of inside jokes of TMNT, it would've been something different. Changing stuff up is good but not at the expense of changing something for the sake of doing it. There's a fine balance and not many show can get it right. Most posts in this thread will age really bad as soon as the first episode airs. |

Exactly, little things here and there make him a fleshed out character, but they don't define him for an entire series; they're not his base personality and some of those choices were regretted afterward.

I can't believe you guys are complaining about changes. Don't you get sick of seeing the same sh*t every incarnation?

The "same sh*t" I get tired of are rehashed stories over and over. And why I was hoping for a continuation of some kind (not necessarily directly of 2012), not a reboot.
I don't count their personalities, etc as part of "same sh*t," no. No more than I'd be interested in fundamentally changing or replacing Santa Clause just because he's been done a really long time. Although this thread has itself become the "same sh*t" with people who can't stand that others don't feel the way they do. Movie threads all over again, courtesy of Nick-backed projects. |

Nickelodeon didn't pay $63 million to Laird to explore the adult TMNT demographic. They paid $63 million to mine and farm the hell out of new generations of little kids, over and over again. Throwing semi-adult or more grown-up flavored TMNT stuff out there runs the risk of mommy and daddy not allowing Little Timmy to watch whatever latest little kids' TMNT cartoon is on the air, or buy any toys.

You tell them top stop giving Nick ideas, and then you post your own silly idea?

Since the current series debuted in 2012, the kids who grew up watching it are adults now, so Nick is starting over with the new series aimed at a younger audience this time, but we all know that kids will grow to be adults as the new series progresses, the cycle will continue with Nick creating another series to aim at another generation of kids.

I expect them to re-tread the same stories again, more or less every TMNT incarnation goes through the same story arcs with slight variations.
Meaning we'll get the usual Foot Clan arc, the robots, the aliens, the space arc, traveling through time, gangsters/mobsters, Triceratons, and the various mutant outbreak stories. Plus the usual of Leonardo struggling to lead, Raph's temper, Don inventing things going out of control, Mikey goofing off or wanting to be a superhero, etc. Seems to be some unwritten rule every TMNT incarnation covers the same story beats. Just with variations of course. |

Or heck, 2012 will no doubt still be around for a long time in reruns. Most little kids don't give a crap if they watch the same episodes over and over, and we've probably got little ones right now who won't even have the full picture of 2012 until they enjoy actually watching it straight through in order someday when they're a bit older. So there's potentially still room left to market products related to this series even, at least to some degree. (Hell, if four-year-old "Frozen" can still be putting new toys on the shelf for the coming holiday season...) Last edited by IndigoErth; 11-03-2017 at 06:48 PM. |

They will likely crossover with the 2012 Turtles. With Rob Paulsen as voice director, no way is he not going to want to be reunited with Seth Green, Greg Cripes and Sean Astin again for an arc in the new show.

I'm just counting the blessings that they still want to do something new with the franchise right away.

Yeah that is surprising. I always assumed after the Nick show ended that they would let the property rest for a few years before relaunching. I certainly never expected them to do another cartoon reboot immediately after, just 1 year after the end of the current series.
