Lol, such a ridiculous moment this morning when I read the headline "Animated TMNT coming to Netflix".
Like, that's been one avenue we've been discussing forever as an a potential home for an animated TMNT in the vein of the Mirage or IDW comics.
It was that one possibility that seemed just out of reach, but close enough to hope for.
Then you see the headline, before you have even had your coffee, wondering if you're really awake, only to find out it's for "Rise".
I'm being dramatic, but I know I'm not alone in the general sentiment.
Now on the positive side: I believe we've heard either Bobby or Tom mention that one of the dreams for the IDW team would be to contribute to an animated, more mature-oriented adaption of the TMNT for some type of streaming service or home-release. While I'm not putting any money on it yet, it is possible that this opens the door a bit for that. It's not what we want, but it's not necessarily the complete opposite of what we want, if you know what I mean.
It could be. But it could also open the door for something better.
