Rise of the TMNT Movie Coming To Netflix
 

Okay, this ISN'T connected to the 2018 show? But it has THAT title? Strike one.

I'm confused. But more than that, I'm leery.

And, of course, it's animated. Strike two.

“Does not involve the tv series”

I guess it’s a separate entity but retaining the Rise looks.

LOL Of all things they keep from this series they decide to keep the looks, do they not know all the backlash it got? Oh well, I hope Leo is the leader in this film since they aren't connected.

I was thinking this would have been perfect for the big Shredder reveal.

Many people love the look. And even for those who don’t, I don’t think that’s the biggest criticism. Most complaints I see online are people who haven’t even watched it calling it teen titans go and complaining that splinters fat and stuff.

Anyway, I’m hoping this is canon to the series, and that the “unrelated to the series thing” is just bad wording or something. This would be a great opportunity for some big story development with the show.

That could be problematic if it is canon seeing as there's no existing TMNT library on Netflix...and some might not care to pay for Nickelodeon in order to watch the show, and fans of the show might not want to pay for Netflix just to plug a gap in the continuity if the series all of a sudden starts referencing the movie

It's best it just serve as a stand-alone primer, a taster of what you can find on Nick, and allow the audience to make their own choice.

Last year there was rumours of some TMNT specials happening, I guess this one of them.

I was hoping for a 2012 version, I don't mind Rise, I just can't get into it as much as the 2012 show. With it being on Netflix hopefully it will be a tad bit more serious.

We finally get a Netflix TMNT show and it's this?

Bwahahahahahahahaha... jesus, this is cursed.

Nickelodeon heard our cries for a Netflix TMNT series. They conveniently ignored our "like Daredevil, but TMNT" criteria.

Article says "The films are based on Nickelodeon properties but do not involve the TV series, Viacom said."

Does that mean it's Rise of the TMNT but non-canon? Or it's a new version of TMNT for Netflix?

I fear it's the former, but there's a low chance it's the latter...

The "Rise of the" part might be erroneous reporting. Because that doesn't make any sense.

Not that Nickelodeon has ever cared about recycling titles (ala the fresh, "Out of the Shadows" recycled from the video game into the last movie).

I'd thought after the Titans came out that Viacom might get the idea for an older live action show...maybe.. but anyway .. no LOL, but this is a movie not a show so not sure what the chances are of another show? Slim or none?

Because they don't care about a random adult's niche-ass wants for their children's property.

Riiiight. And Adam West is the only Batman. If Button and Nolan never had the balls to go against what the fans wanted and go for a truer adaptation, we still would have had 60s Batnsn today.

Someone needs to just do Mirage TMNT and then we'll see how people respond.

The funny part is. If it becomes a hit, we're gonna suddenly get a lot of fake 'was always a Mirage fan' types that weren't even born at the time.

Oh, how true.

It's not surprising. Online streaming services are the future of home entertainment.

This would be the perfect opportunity to try something a bit more adult friendly just to test the waters.

Or IDW but the thing is the mirage comics lacked a constitent rogues gallery and it just turtles trying get into a normal life.

Besides Mirage comics are just about turtles trying to live normal lives but life pretty much make it less mundane.

All of the official Nickelodeon channels are repeating the “Rise of the” part, so that is definitely not in error.

This is a big WTF announcement, really.

I get it, Nickelodeon suits who are reading this. You got the deal with Netflix to make a couple movies for them. “Rise” is the current branding for TMNT, and you’re sticking to it for at least a few more years. You don’t want to “confuse” people by breaking up that branding. You want to sell existing toys and merchandise that looks like Rise, not have to create new crap to match a different look for an independent TMNT movie on Netflix. Well, I’m just going to call that as being a crap move. The DC animated universe kept its groove without having to match branding or having branding matches to it. They just made some fun movies that fans enjoyed without needing to sell do-dads along with ‘em (although maybe there were some toys that matched? I don’t know; I honestly don’t follow DC closely). Anyways, this is a huge amazing opportunity and it’s going to be wasted on an extended episode of Rise. Ugh.

*Want Netflix to be able to do TMNT* (And a good series for an older audience.)

*Viacom and Netflix do a 'Rise' movie*

I hate you guys.

And by "you guys" I mean the two companies.



P.S. There are other sources saying that it's based on the series. Which would make a whole lot more sense.

I'm really kind of surprised they'd run off and want to do a movie for it so quick. 2012 can't even get the mutagen bomb explained, and they dropped the ball on what could have been a cute Half Shell series of movies, but this...get a "movie"? Ohhhkay.


I'd far rather see 2003 get added to Netflix. :ohwell:

Something isn't right if the movie is called "Rise" but not based on the tv series. Maybe its wrongly reported.

Neverthless though, I'm excited!

Here's the timeline to come:

* Netflix releases "Rise of the TMNT" movie

* Nobody ends up caring about "Rise of the TMNT" movie

* Netflix never makes anything TMNT ever again

Sound about right?

Nah and no more mirage adaptions mirage's hopes are dashed it seems.

None of the official Nickelodeon channels are saying that. Again makes me wonder if this is canon to the series.

God I hope not.


They could to something good with it, but no. They do this.

Truly, the universe hates TMNT fans.

This is exactly what will happen.

This ain't right, this $hit is wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

It'll absolutely happen that way.

Well, I wish I could say that I was very excited about this news. I can't though because I find this TV show mostly forgettable.

Weren’t a lot of people saying that Tmnt would never make it to Netflix? I’m sure the Rise Turtles isn’t what anyone had in mind but hopefully it will open up ideas for other adaptations.

I'm excited for this, Rise is a fantastic show and a movie be it non-canon but Rise, I'm all in for it.

Like literally everything about TMNT that isn't toy-related at this point... no interest.

I saw the writing on the wall and jumped off when the sale to Viacom went through. Y'all laughed at me! Y'ALL LAUGHED AT ME! :trazz:

That's fine, taste is like asses and all that jazz.

...Some of 'em are fat? I don't get it. :trazz:

asses are divided

I got it. I was just being... "Cheeky".

I just took back every rotten thing I've ever said about you.
