Their new designs are ugly as hell, but I like pretty much everything else about the show

The animation is great, the comedy is good, and April is black lol

trust me, to old school turtle fans, it's a huge deal. Leo is the leader. end of story. that's his whole gimmick. nobody should ever be the leader but him. and raph is not the one I would pick if I was going to change it. I would give it to Don

he's the teacher. you could call him a leader I guess but then Leo is the 2nd in command. or he is the leader in battle. Splinter, at least in the 80's cartoon usually or never fought. he tought the turtles in their lair and gave them advice. but it was leo that leads them into battle. people usually think of him as "the leader"

I don't know what counts as an old school fan, but I've been watching since the 90s and it doesn't really bother me. I get what you're saying though and I probably agree with you especially the part about Leo's defining characteristic is how he's the leader, but this show kinda clearly is trying to change a lot of things so I guess I'm open to it. I'm sure they'll find other ways to make Leo interesting.

It does seem pretty lulzy, I feel like he'll still be a badass ironically though

leo's the leader. Without being the leader he has nothing.

Mikey is dumb but funny and laid back and awesome.
Donnie is smart and nerdy.
Raph is angry and strong.
Leo... is the leader. That's it.

What would donny be if you took away his smarts? How would a serious Mikey play out?

I mean April was black in the OG comics, so that change for the cartoon has some background.

Raphael as the leader is a shake-up, but maybe in time the characters will go through some character development and have Leonardo take the reins.

Why do the characters have to live by those characteristics in every iteration though?

And who knows maybe Raph will let Leo be the leader at some point, in the first episode they haven't even started training or even picked a name yet. I just don't think it's a big enough of a deal to dislike the show just because Leo isn't the leader.

They pulled this shit out of their ass because it was cheap to produce.
LOOK AT THIS, Donnie looks like his head is a molar. Raph looks like cyborg from teen titans go. Leo looks.... adrogynous?

Please tell me that weird woman is not April, APRIL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEXY REDHEAD! AND WHY DOES SPLINTER LOOK LIKE KUNG FU PANDA'S SENSEI?!?!?

True, I'm just so used to seeing Leo as a leader that it makes it hard for me to see him as anything else. I've been hearing good stuff about this new TMNT, so I'll be sure to check it out. The art style did turn me off at first though.

I doubt that anything in those action scenes were "cheap to produce". Go watch the first episode and tell me those fight scenes don't look great.

Yeah thats fair.

And the art style isn't great yeah, I would have preferred if it looked like this

but I feel like Teen Titans Go really changed the landscape for all modern cartoons, everyone seems to be going for that type of style if they aren't doing that lazy 3D crap.

The problem is that the TTG art style and slapstick idea of comedy works for TT, but it's crap in other cartoons. Look at what they did to thundercats

I would assume that the 2012 TMNT series has wrapped up. They had their last battle, probably saved the day and had a good ending.

Give this new show time to grow, and actually watch an episode or two of it. Or at least bow out respectfully with "I don't think this is something I would enjoy", instead of "This show SUCKS! Doesn't the old show look so much better? I can't believe they'd ruin everything like this!"

I mean I loved the original TMNT cartoon. I also loved the old early 90s (or was that late 80s?) movies, even though they were from before I was born. I loooooved them so much.

But then a new TMNT CGI movie came out, and also the 2012 TV show and I loved them even more. I'm no purist, and change didn't make me hate these new incarnations. But this new stuff is just garbage

Just watched the first episode. Gotta give it to them, I enjoyed it. The fight scenes were superb and I laughed a couple of times in their banter with one another. I still hold my opinion that it's still not very good looking though and all the turtles kind of acted the same? Of course, it's only the first episode so they're trying to feel out the characters and I can see this having high potential.

I can't think of much that would be a bigger deal tbh. Not only would Raph be the worst possible choice of leader but like half of Ninja Turtles media has this as the moral of the story.

Straight-up they could make Krang or Baxter Stockman the leader of the Ninja Turtles and it would be more acceptable.

Ya know I'll give them credit the animation is pretty decent. The designs are awful but in motion it looks pretty decent.

The voice casting and humor are turbocringe though. I might give it a chance cuz there's some interesting changes to the formula, but I dunno if I can get past the jokiness. The Teen Titans Go comparisons are pretty damn spot on.

Looks like still nothing will ever top the perfection that was the 2003 series :(

Kind of the point though. I mean why watch TMNT if they are not TMNT? Still art style is so beyond hideous. Can't watch that garbage.

She was based off of the biracial girlfriend of one of the creators. They've gone back and forth over the years and have said that they never settled on an ethnicity, but she wasn't white.
