So, it seems like April will be their only ally, at least in the beginning. Also, it looks like her and Mayhem will be in nearly every episode. In TMNT 2k12, she only appeared sporadically in-between certain episodes. So, I'm glad that she'll likely get more screen time. |

Sporadically? I thought it was a complaint with 2012 that April was far often too involved, more-so than what many people liked?

You mean like making Raph The Witty Voice of the Turtles or Mikey The Wild & Crazy Turtle and second oldest?

It does always seem that Leo gets the most character development in the other series. I do agree, if they do go with the 'Leo will grow into the leader role' part, they better not forget to make the other turtles as characters grow as well.
They also better not suddenly forget Leo's character traits just because he'll be leader in season 2 or whatever. Just because he takes charge, it doesn't mean he still can't be a prankster and a showboater, like they want to make him now. It's not like we expect Raph to suddenly stop being a bruiser with a temper just because he stepped down from being the leader. Honestly if the show is going to be 11 minute romps that will either deal with action or slice of life shenanigans, there isn't much room for all of this deep character portrayal anyway.

Voice clips of the Turtles, April and Splinter. I can hear the black in Raph and Mikey's voice. With Raph it's okay, with Mikey it sounds too much "smartass black dude". Everyone else sounds on point IMO.

Love the voice clips, Donatello and Leonardo are my favourite. And I called it, Eric Bauza totally sounds like himself as Tiger Claw, just a pitch higher.

I wonder if her role will be close to them to start this time or whether they be-friend her as usual. Last edited by newfan; 03-11-2018 at 01:25 AM. |

In every iteration no matter how old Raph may be in the continuity be it second oldest like most incarnations, third oldest in the case of the IDW, or absolute eldest in the case of this incarnation. Raph is the protector of the group. Even in his Fred Wolf incarnation when he was more of a wise cracker then a skull cracker, he still put the lives of others, particularly friends and family before his own. Such as the episodes where Splinter gets temporary amnesia and then when Donatello tells his companions to get Splinter to the lair and create and antidote while he holds off the Shredder and his goons. Raphael responds by saying “You’re the one who is an expert in that kind of thing, I’ll stay and hold them off.” And when one of his friends is absent or injured he does make note of it such as when he nearly crys when they all think Michelangelo was killed in the first season. Or when Donatello is absent during a moment where they cheer with a “Go awesome foursome” and then Raphael adds “Minus one” So having him be the oldest he would still be in the protector role. Yes, he is self appointed as leader. And this self appointment could just be due to him being the oldest and biggest brother. So he feels being leader is how he can protect his younger siblings. Where as Leo much like Raph in the previous version equates leadership as having your own way. And as such both learn a hard lesson For Raph, it would be learning that leadership isn’t just protecting those around you and going in fists blazing. It’s caculating the situation and seeing where the risks are before acting Where as for Leo could learn that leadership is not imposing your will on others, but offering an example for others to follow and listening to the advice that is offered. Through those experiences, Leo would be groomed for the leader he would one day become. While Raph would accept that as the big brother of the group he can protect his siblings better by not saddling himself with leadership. |

I can't get over how many Bayturtle worshippers are absolutely losing their sh*t over these new turtles. The irony is off the charts.

Were they really worshippers of the PD films tho? Last time I remember, most casuals were like "Micheal Bay is ruining muh childhood!" Regardless, the rage is sad yet hilarious.

Kind of a weird mixed bag honestly. First movie was largely hated. The second one had a some people gushing over it, for being fairly FW-esque in comparison to the first mind you, it certainly wasn't a good movie by any means. |

Yeah, by people like us. Casuals on the other hand liked it, hence the sequel. & a lot of the people I see on IG throwing fits over Rise have oodles of Bayturtle pics on their profiles.

It wasn't, but it made money off curiosity and nostalgia. Then no one showed up for the sequel. |

This. Even i went to the theater out of morbid curiosity, but waited for Redbox for the sequel.

Both Raph and Mike are essentially black in this version, along with April. So we have two white Turtles (Leo and Don), and two black Turtles (Raph and Mike) because of the voice actors, so I suppose it's fitting.
I just wonder what Casey Jones will be when he shows up. For some reason I get the feeling he'll be hispanic this time around. |
