Yeah, that's crazy. I mean I can understand it in that they don't think a 7 year old would be a very good or believeable actress in the role Holly had, but even then...the actress really was 14 in real life playing a girl half her age. She was a tall teenage girl too, when she was standing next to Sam wasn't she nearly the same height?

I mean if I didn't know their ages I would have assumed she was 13-14 like she is in real life. Imagine taking her scenes seriously if it was an actual 7 year old girl doing the acting and leading the other kids away from danger? Or Sam talking as seriously to her if she was 7 and not a teen?

Yup.

Also... how did Max graduate when she was in a coma for almost 2 years?

So a pumpkin becomes a demigorgon or... something? Looks corny.

I guess the cartoon is already out? Totally didn't notice.

Looks like it! 10 episodes. 27-32 minutes in length.

*Andrew NDB* · 04-28-2026, 06:06 PM

And get ready for more... it has been renewed for season 2.

Animated series was fine for the most part. Though kind of an odd fit just throwing it in the middle of the universe like that with events that then just don't come up in the main series, of course. And I guess a new friend they then forget about.

Some of the casting is pretty good and in the ballpark enough to work, esp Dustin, who for a sec I thought still had the original actor as VA. Eleven bugs me though, her sharp attitude is way too mild now.

That said, with an animated series existing and an art style that would fit pretty decent... I will be disappointed if they do not take the opportunity to do the TMNT crossover with the Mirage (or Mirage-like) Turtles.

No, keep TMNT separate. Of course they were going to make a cartoon. The IP is huge with kids and with adults for the most part being through with the franchise they can continue to milk it with kids.

*IndigoErth* · 05-08-2026, 03:23 PM

Isn't still milking TMNT for kids exactly what Paramount wants, too, though?

Side note, I meant more of a side thing, not part of the main animated series.
