Has this been posted already and I missed it? If not, there's this..



If this person is legit, then his page says he's a rough animator for the show.

No idea, but the stores over by me cleared everything out right after the New Year.

Poured out a heavy one and about to join my fellow Rise crew on Zoom to screen our finale and celebrate one more time. In an ideal world, we?d be together in person for this, but it?s probably best they don?t see this big man cry, anyway. Thankful beyond words to have been a part of this. All good things... #rottmntfinale #allgoodthings #rottmnt #riseofthetmnt #riseoftheteenagemutantninjaturtles #tmnt #nickelodeon #animation #bestjobever

So this season really did get cut short in half. Understandable. This would explain why Nicktoons was airing two episodes a month, since they knew it was ending at an odd number. But why even bother with a Netflix movie at this point?

Well if this is end of Rise all I can say is "It's been interesting" at first when I saw the character designs I was taken back but I say "I want to wait till I see a trailer", saw the trailer and it piqued my interest saw the first couple of episodes and I really enjoyed it. I could tell that the team wanted to try something new by making the show be somewhat of a prequel seeing how the turtles became the turtles we know and they were some ideas I wouldn't mind or would like to see come back up in a future series like the Mystic city.

Was this show everyone's cup of tea ? no, but was it interesting and had it's moments ? yes, I feel like this show is going to be the "The Batman" or 'Beware the Batman" of the turtle's franchise. In that when it first came out most people especially hard core fans sort of dismiss it and only until after a year or two after cancellation did it get some more traction to eventually people will be saying "You know what that show wasn't so bad" but that's my opinion on that. Goodbye Rise, I hope you get some justice from that Netflix's movie and I'm looking forward to where this franchise goes.

That meme's a good'n.

At least the speculation about the series' fate can be put to bed. I mean, it was only "speculation" to people who delusionally cling to hope and ignore all physical evidence, but at least it's confirmed. The thing's been dead all year long, the "coroner" was merely too sheepish to make it official. Because nobody at Nick has any balls.

I think the movie is still supposedly happening, but I have a feeling it will depend greatly on just how much of it they already have in the can. And if/when it comes out I don't think it's going to be exactly the same thing they envisioned when they announced it. It will probably have some of the stuff that was outlined for the remaining unproduced episodes stuffed into it, for starters, in addition to whatever else they were going to use to wrap things up.

If they've already started working on it and it's at least partway done, it'll probably come out. If they'd barely started on it, then maybe not. I've said this before but multiple, conflicting TMNT movie projects happening at the same time or even close together doesn't fit their model at all. So if the production of the Rise movie didn't get far, it wouldn't be a shock to see them very quietly sweep it under the rug.

Let's be blunt and completely honest; in less than 5 years even Nick is gonna pretend the whole series never happened. There's no way that DOESN'T happen. So in deference to that inevitability, I wouldn't be shocked at all if they ended up abandoning the Rise movie. Literally the only reason to even do it at all, is because they made a lot of noise about it back when they thought the show had a future. I wouldn't hold them to it. But we'll see.

If it does come out, I don't predict Nickelodeon throwing a parade over it. At this point it's a project of obligation more than anything. If they're even still doing it.

No, that was a live action series that was debunked. The 'Rise' Netflix articles were real. Presumably still is. The end of this show did allude to it even.

Andrew may also have been thinking of the fabled "third Platinum Dunes movie, which was gonna be another reboot". Which wasn't so much "officially debunked" but really doesn't need to be. That thing was never gonna happen, I doubt it even exists on paper anywhere.

Christ, if we're not at the point where this franchise has more cancelled/abandoned projects than ones that actually saw the light of day, we'll be there in a few weeks at this rate.

Brave and the Bold was true to what Batman was in the gold and silver age. It won a lot of people over pretty quickly with the Planet-X episode because it was something modern fans knew from Morrisons run and then the Batmite episode which directly addressed the grievances that fans had by the time Chill of the Night came out I think it had won a lot of people over as a valid take on the character.

I can't speak a lot for Rise but it clearly has little to do with any pre-existing version of TMNT except that it takes unpopular elements that previous versions have used to make the concept fresh and puts them all one one product.

It's possible it's good, to my shame I quite like TMNT Fast Forward but aside from a few episodes it really doesn't 'feel' like TMNT. Maybe I 'll give Rise a second try but one day but I doubt it will ever be TMNT for me.

Or maybe people just don't think the show is good? I tried really hard to like it, but... Yeap, not something I'd call "good".

But from a selfish, human, perspective, I am more than glad to see this show fail, because it will send the message to Nick and Viacom that this is not the ideal way to handle the franchise. It's about as far away from traditional as you can get, which is not what I want. And hey, if you read my posts around here, you should know I'm pretty open-minded with adaptions, but this is just a bridge too far.
I second that! I feel bad for the Rise team and the fans, but I was afraid that the show would be a huge hit and the future iterations would be based on ROTTMNT. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to belittle Rise, it's just that some of the elements of this show don't suit my taste.

For me it's exactly the opposite, I love a moody, arrogant Donatello. Sweet Donnie is way too perfect, I liked it better when they have flaws.

Just out of curiosity, what would be Rise Donnie flaws in your opinion? And what you see as "flaws" in all the "sweet" Donnies?

The only flaws I know Rise Donnie has that people point out about him is that he's arrogant and sort of a jerk to everyone. But I like that about this Donnie, the show have brought this up a couple of times in the series that the reason he does this is because he's suppose to be the smart one and if you take that away from him what does he have left? as well as having daddy issues apparently but I don't know the flaws for "sweet" Donnie

I like some of the things they did with Donnie, though I didn't like how he would use "Bootyshaker3000" as a password. Or having a drone that is just programmed to favor him over the others.


I mean, 2012 Donnie could be obsessive and arrogant at times, but that was mostly because he really had trouble with socializing with his brothers and other people. After all he's used being cut off from everyone due to his inteligence. Much of the time when he is socializing with his family he's either working on his lap top or involved in some project while the rest of the time he's hold up on his lab. And the times he would point out his intelligence was more of a cry for attention then actual self-absorption.

You take away the Ninja and he's just the smart one.


This version of Donnie has trouble socializing or understanding his brothers as well. But his attitude is "I'm the smartest person in the room, that makes me better then all of you." April appears the be the only person he really sees as a friend and even then you don't understand that dynamic.

Still, even when he does something wrong he feigns ignorance of it. Such as when April had him fix up that Chuck E. Cheese rip off and he does more then fix it he "Improves it". Then later when Leo points that out Donnie's like "Sorry, that doesn't sound like something I would do."
