Couldn’t agree more. That’s how I feel as well

Ironically Don didn't wear glasses in the 80's. It's weird that the Turtle designs Have gotten more stereotypical over the years.

I didn’t mind it at first, but it seems to be the style. They are sticking with going forward and that kind of drives me nuts. Growing up with the ninja Turtles, I like the original look. Anything outside of that tends to annoy me

I hate that 'Hollywood' won't let go of using it as a visual stereotype. We don't need them on Donnie to prove he's smart or the nerd of the group. Kinda weird how in an age of trying to be inclusive, accepting, etc. they don't notice how continuing to use it as a stereotype is technically mocking people who'd be considered to have a disability to some degree or more were it not for glasses.

It's insulting to the audience and to the character. What are the odds, the "nerdy Turtle" is the only one that ended up with myopia.

I watched the first web-episode and it was what it was!

[Heyowakka]

It certainly did bring me back to the days of when my niece and nephew were deep into PJ Masks and Paw Patrol.

[CyberCubed]

Is the whole show up or just a few eps? I'll probably marathon the whole thing at once if it is.

Anyway, I recently found out that the Spider-Man cartoon also made in this... Genre... Is the single longest Spider-Man show ever made... Anyone thinking this thing will get past episode 193?

I think it could, this kid genre whatever name it might have is quite popular, parents these days just give ipads to their toddlers and kids so they won't have to deal with them and with youtube kids installed, once there the algorithm just has these on repeat over and over. I don't know the cost of how much they make but the revenue must be insane even if its very little the amount of hours you can get from a couple of 4 minute episodes on repeat over and over.
Disney recently launched an AI generated one which is likely much cheaper to make called ozzy fox. So yes, looks like we might have the animated show with the most episodes in our hands if its doing good numbers, then again this is paramount who is especially good at messing even guaranteed wins.

It's pretty much just what I was expecting it would be, with a very "if Paw Patrol was TMNT" feeling to it. Though even shorter than I'd thought. Definitely bite sized videos made for kids staring at a parent's phone while sitting in shopping cart seats in stores. I'll no doubt overhear it at some point as I can see the 4-year-old set enjoying it.


But I'm sorry, are those weapons made of a rubbery "ooze"-like material that can throw globs at someone at will? Clear plastic toy accessories for sure.

[CyberCubed]

These are harmless preschool stuff for kids. I still don't get why they canceled the Tales cartoon when Mutant Mayhem has a sequel next year. They had an action TMNT show aimed at the usual kids crowd and they ended it for no reason.

Here's their episode:



For some reason, they're kids, too, despite usually being quite a bit older than the Turtles in other incarnations. Makes me wonder if we'll eventually see grade school Shredder.

I can’t believe they white-washed Bebop.

Wrong.

The more they get toddlers into TMNT, the more profitable that particular venture makes, the more of a responsibility they'll feel they have to parents.

Translation: if they make more money from babies than man-babies, man-babies will no longer be catered to. It has happened before, it's happening again.

Let's be honest, the 2020's neutering of TMNT began years ago, & it's only getting worse. Even The Last Ronin, which they claim exists to fulfill the adult market, is pretty tame, visually & thematically.
