Well that depends. There is a distinct possibility some, if not most, of the episodes ordered have been at least partially produced already. So if the movie scheduled to premiere a mere four months away from 2024, it's reasonable to assume some episodes already do exist.

Yeah, not my favorite look.

But when it's exclusive to Raph, I did think of a just for fun theory the other day. They all started with the full head covering... but Raph gives his brothers noogies a lot. Like a ton. So much that he actually wore holes in the fabric with his knuckles and eventually their masks had to be trimmed down. No one does it to him though so his remained whole.

The full head bandana is the least of the problems with the designs. Giving Donatello glasses is THE biggest problem and makes me sick just thinking about it. It started with the 2014 movie, then Rise Don always had the goggles on the top of his head, and now this. Good god.

I dunno... I mean at least discarded glasses he found could be modified for use. (The stereotyping issue aside.)

Now the braces are a stretch. lol That's a lot more technical and surely no one is reusing old, discarded brackets and rubber bands they dug out of the the trash behind a dental office! Nasty.

What’s your excuse if non-white people and gay people call it “woke”?

It's clear that newhire lacked the reading competition to understand the actual finger-pointing and irony that Dpooly84 was doing there when he quoted Dpooly above and then posted about "trolls"....

Be careful Newhire, your enemies are everywhere. Those trolls are looking at you at the store and that guy who cut you off on the main road near your Target knew it was you before he cut you off.

They're everywhere.....

As opposed to trolls who pretend to be offended by anything that is straight and white?

You see, here Dooly is pointing out that the term "woke" used to be a cultural movement that had legitimate internal meaning. But then it got into the open and he literally says that it became skewed and twisted by liberals and their agenda.

And so nowhere in what Dooly said is an assault on white people or in support of modern-woke $#!*(. He is literally delivering commentary on how an black-culture euphinism was picked up by blue-hairs.

And then in response to this newhire does not address the narrative, thesis or topic that Dooly said. Instead he introduces an attack on straight or white people by proxy of his commentary implying that isolating woke $#@!( as a negative thing means you are a troll who can only accept straight or white content.

One person's thought here is not connected to the other. The second person's thought did not reflect the comprehension to understand what the first person was saying and used what was said as a launchpad to attack the "crazy anti-wokester". The two thoughts are only connected by the word "woke" and not connected by actual content or throughput. One person is saying "woke is so far gone that it's everywhere now and not about what it's supposed to be about" and the second person responded as if the first had supported modern woke culture by saying "all people see is woke stuff everywhere, what idiots!". The two implications are not the same.

If woke $#!( was actually about inclusion then there would barely be any opposition to it. But instead, woke $#!( is about society's social-children throwing tantrums and wanting to overwrite themselves onto something in order to displace something or someone else. Woke #@!( is about the assault on whatever they don't like - not about their inclusion. It's a lie.

Yuck! That’s disgusting! But it would make sense considering where the turtles live. And it sounds like something Seth Rogen would cook up…after cooking his meth of course.

I think the word you actually wanted was competence. It just sounded funny that's all. Especially because you used the wrong word while judging someone else's literacy. I stay out of all the political nonsense on this message board. I suffer from neuropathy and carpal tunnel so I try to keep my comments short. That's also why I avoid arguments here.

You are not a person to a woke leftist. You are only defined by your race and your sexuality and whatever box or label they can fit you into. You are nothing more but a tool to be used to virtue signal, and when they have no use of you, you shut up and go back to where you belong until you are needed again.

Modern day example- Pride Month. Yay yay we're so proud and progressive, yay, we support gay rights, look at us, look at the rainbow, ok the month's over, get the **** outta here til next year so we can profit off you again. And the woke left sees nothing wrong with this.
First, there is no woke left. Woke as a term was co-opted by the alt-right to make an enemy that doesn't exist and the divide people.

To your point I highlighted red, the "woke left" very much sees a problem with that. What you're describing aren't leftists, they're capitalists.

You're soooo close to getting the point...

Yeah I feel like they should have waited cause not only they don't know if the Rogen movie is going to be a success or failure. But I can see two paths Paramount and Nickelodeon could go depending on this movie if the movie bombs this show gets the Rise treatment one season possibly two, then you're done or change the show a bit having that the series is its own universe and have no connection to the movie and back track the idea of the series continuing after it.

They could also face the similar backlash Rise gotten after it was announced when the 2012 series just ended and given that Rise slowly gained a following over the last couple of years especially after the movie. I can see people getting up in arms over this instead of continuing Rise.

Honey…you couldn’t be more wrong.

Sure, the term “woke” is often misused by people on the right, like how “racist” and “transphobic” are the woke left’s favorite words to use when they want to tear down the people they don’t like. For example, female representation in a film doesn’t automatically make it “woke”. If the female characters are written as flawless individuals who can do no wrong while all the male characters are stupid, useless and/or a**holes, then yeah that’s considered to be “woke”. And not liking a feminist or gay movie, according to the woke left, makes you a bigot, even if the movie is in fact garbage.

The woke left does in fact exist. They are the ones who are harassing and bullying the streamers for playing “Hogwarts Legacy” because of you know, “transphobia”. They are the ones who want to bring back racial segregation to give black people “safe spaces”. They are the ones who are throwing paint at famous art pieces to fight climate change. They are the ones who want to censor books like “James And The Giant Peach” by replacing the word “fat” with “enormous” and such.

I could go on and on. My point is, the woke left is not the alt-right’s made-up boogeyman. The woke left does in fact exist, and they are causing problems for everyone, not just the people on the right. They are the ones causing division. Even Bill Maher acknowledges their existence.

It's not enough for people to parrot the talking points of their favourite youtuber activist but just linking their video is an extra kind stupid. Here's some random person's opinion as if that has any validity over say an expert on the subject. I also think it doesn't make the person doing seem intelligent; I'm a free independent thinker not like the brainwashed sheeple that get told what to think and to prove it here's an reactionary on youtube saying all the things I think.

And yes the obsession with 'woke' is done by people who have completely lost their minds. People who rage against things that aren't problems like M&Ms or the mere suggestion that there better options than gas stoves or flat out don't exist like CRT being taught in US high schools. **** off with that ****.

I can provide even more evidence other than just YouTube videos. Would you like to see?

I don’t want the government dictating how we should cook our meals (they don’t need to poke their big fat noses into our personal lives anyway) nor do I want crazy activists telling black kids in school that they’ll never succeed in life thanks to the white kids sitting next to them or that white kids owe black kids reparations because of what their ancestors (probably) did over 200 years ago. How does that make me a sheep?

Obama himself acknowledged that wokiesm is a problem. So why are you pretending that it’s not?

The amount of fights in schools nowadays cause CRT is literally teaching black kids to hate white kids. Yeah, the woke left is all about being inclusive.

I'm 100% sure if they're doing it on purpose, but if not, they're too dense to see that their attempted over-corrections to issues they've made up in their heads can only lead to further division and segregation, the complete opposite of what they claim to be fighting for.

I don’t like to use the word “woke” but to pretend the radical left isn’t out of control and creating a lot of unneeded tension is to have your head in the sand.

That’s not to say the right are perfect. The world isn’t black and white. I just can’t take anyone seriously who is buying the left’s BS these days. They are completely gaslighting the American people any chance they get, if you listen to the Biden admin. Then you have your corrupt Pelosi’s who like to cheat the stock market, your AOC’s who love to manipulate, lie, and pretend. I could go on. Most people representing the left these days are completely warped. Twitter is always a crapshoot but all of these crazy perspectives and false talking points from the left leak onto there and the rest of the internet.

Then there’s the constant manipulative play on words, like the “don’t say gay bill”, which has nothing do with saying gay. The “inflation reduction act” which does not combat inflation. Spreading this type of misinformation and falsely-coined bills is disrespectful to the people. It’s manipulative. This is 1984 crap.

Or the Biden admin coming out week after week and gaslighting. Telling us inflation is down and the economy is great. Bragging about accomplishments that aren’t his or improvements that stem from problems his policies caused.

Or Kamala stating that we are going to prioritize helping “people of color” during a natural disaster. What in the world? We are prioritizing people by skin color now, during a natural disaster? She accidentally say that aloud?

Don’t defend the current left.

LOL @ thinking Biden is the radical left. Biden is basically as conservative as Reagan and Harris is a cop, so fck em both. I yearn for the day there is a President further left than center, but that will never happen since the alt-right keeps moving the center further right.
