Yay! More barfing, Gen Z humor, and pop culture references every five minutes!

Hell no.
October release date already shows how low the expectations are.

I honestly think this series has *potential* as a weird alt-universe “high school TMNT”. It has style and solid character dynamics.
My two issues are: 1. The script is weak. Even if you think it’s the right direction for the franchise, it’s lazy with plot convenience and undercuts drama with weak comedy. As an aside, it didn’t tell a story that highlights the core aspects of the TMNT. It retained some elements but not enough and not well enough. 2. There should be a film aimed at older fans. I don’t mean R-rated, I mean the demographic that other comic properties are perfectly comfortable making films for, while simultaneously selling their plushies and toys for the children. Again, there are some fun moments in the movie. And as crazy as it is, I’ve come around to think that a version of TMNT where they go to school and have semi-public personas could be a fun twist on the franchise. But I only feel strongly about that if the script improves, the style remains, and they can offer something that isn’t strictly for children. |

Gahh!! Worst news of the day, by far. Damn those merch sales.

I mean, we already knew it was the intention, I just kind of assumed it was a given that it would happen. Now if it gets anything in addition to the original plans... who knows.

The sequel was inevitable. I just wish it came out this year so we could get this series over with to a potentially better live action reboot.

Many on this forum doubted it would happen. Granted until we have something more solid like a trailer (still more than a year away) then anything can still happen.

Unlike most on here, I liked the last one and am excited for this one.

Considering the two cartoon seasons are happening as a bridge between the two movies, it was obvious it would be a thing. 2026 is a long ways away though, so we'll be stuck with the Mutant Mayem Turtles for awhile, probably through 2030.

There's a sobering thought. And true, guess what we wouldn't be getting during any of that time? Any kind of live-action TMNT redux, whatsoever. And hell, even if Mutant Mayhem II bombs in 2026 and nobody buys the merch this time, it'd be at least until like 2031 or 2032 before Nick would try again with another movie relaunch/reboot.

"Hey, Last Ronin was pretty well received by older fans, maybe there is additional profit to tap into from that angle."
Viacom/Paramount: I'd believe they'd totally Muppet Babies them at some point were it not for dropping the ball so easily on 2012's Half Shell Heroes spin-off. Made a good little movie to go with that toy line and they couldn't bother expanding it. Last edited by IndigoErth; 02-29-2024 at 11:07 AM. |

October release doesn't mean it will be at all Halloween themed, but I think that might be an interesting angle to take. High School + Halloween + TMNT, that would be a pretty fun combo for a movie if you ask me.
Some of my favorite movies have a holiday flavor... like Batman Returns for example. |

Of course, that doesn't mean they'd say "no" if some third party company or studio waved a bag of money and wanted to do something with TMNT in live-action on some other platform, but that isn't very likely to happen.

That’s my birthday but the release date will probably move.
Remember there’s also the Colin and Casey Jost Live Action movie that’s said to still be in the works. I liked MM fine but I think it could have been better. I need to see it again.

Why all the negativity? I thought people liked Mutant Mayhem. I'm rewatching it as I was falling asleep the first time I watched it but I remember liking it for the most part. I didn't think it was the greatest TMNT movie like the internet said it was but it was fine.
2026? That seems far, all the hype from the movie is going to be gone by then it should be 2025. I hope the movie doesn't have Shredder. I'd rather see new stuff, you can use Shredder in the tv series. |
