this let's hope for this I also fucking HAAAAAAAAAAATE the fact they using some magic-powered weapons. Turtles always used their cunning skills and just a regular wood/steel weapons. like real ninjas. Not some retarded "durr hurr magical PURPLE SWORD XDD". fuck this shit man
I kind of feel that the designers of this trying to do the same as designers of Star Wars - completely throwing away old fans/canons/fanbase. By doing hard as fuck changes (raph is a hulking retard but also a leader, magical weapons, powerful black woman, hamster splinter/etc) Hope they will fail.

2k3 turtles had magic weapons during a whole season and it wasn't even one of the bad seasons.
Daniel Cook
I don't understand the weapon changes, at all. They're basically part of their identities, as much as the color coded masks.
Evan Cruz
How so?
Elijah Nguyen
It's always been >Leo with twin swords >Mikey with Nunchaku >Donnie with the staff >Raph with twin sais All of which are closely associated with each character, and visual distinctions between them just like their colors. You could also argue each weapon reflects their personality (disciplined, manic, creative, and brutal). This is like if Batman stopped using Batarangs. Of course this isn't the show's biggest problem. They already made Raph the leader for whatever reason. They being different for the sake of being different
Samuel Rogers
I theorize in a matter similar to NuPPG having green lantern powers, the change in weapons exist as a means to diminish violence and reduce the age rating. Tonfa have no points. They can't stab, so when fight scenes occur, the only thing that can do anything beyond batter someone is Leo's sword which I'd bet money has some kind of magic that keeps it from having to cut. Of course, you can't just change one turtles weapon as that's pretty jarring, so you change everyone, just enough.

They're the world's most pleasant hugging team
Dylan Myers
So Raphael is the leader in this show, is this by any case a refference to the movie song? where they get it wrong? youtube.com/watch?v=1zTJnjc-Xhg

>EVERYTHING HAS TO BE THE SAME ALWAYS WAAAAAA
James Gutierrez
Pretty sure it's more of Wolverine and the X-Men thing, where the most popular one gets promoted to a spot that doesn't suit them and the minds behind the product not really understanding what made them oh so popular in the first place.
Other than that line, I enjoy that song. Good for montage-feeling workouts. That and most of the Turtle in Time tunes.

Fuck this mess

If you're going to keep recycling ideas then you should atleast keep the parts people like.
David Russell
You know I gotta say despite the circumstances it's great that Cred Forums has been having so many tmnt threads
Ehhhhhhh I mean it wasn't 6 and 7, and it did have good closure but you gotta admit it did have problems
W&Xmen was a good show though, if it had gotten a second season it might have gotten to be a great show
these dubs don't lie

No, they just don't care about you. The franchise these days exists primarily to sell toys to little kids, the toys weren't selling enough so they throw out whatever plans and start from scratch, it's throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I don't think enough of the adult Turtles fandom buys toys to warrant being catered to, and even if they do, they would probably just appeal to your nostalgia and sell you toys based on the original comic, cartoon, or movie, and STILL try something new with an unrelated cartoon to try and appeal to the kids now
Ayden Carter
Whether or not it was, that's the idea. I thought it was just so-so.
Jaxson Ortiz
Yes but at least the show established that it's weird that logan was leader, and gave a damn good reason why scott couldn't be leader, which this piece of shit isn't doing
Well when you put it that way at least it's not a fucking grappling hook
Andrew Perez
Yeah, but that was in-show explanation but the reason they actually went that way was because they just wanted to push popular boy. Not sure what justification they'll use for this show, guessing switched identies, but it'll still won't feel right.
Connor White
yes and what I'm saying is that JUSTIFIES it
Julian Collins
As long you get what I'm also saying. I think we can put the matter to rest.
Owen Rodriguez
>11 min eps It's worse than I thought
Cameron Lee
>Raph: voiced by nig >Leo: voiced by whitey >Mikey: voiced by nig >Donatello: voiced by whitey
What does this mean?
Connor Butler
>Nephew: Uncle Ron why did they change the designs? They look totally gay lol
>Me: Eh, give it chance this fall maybe you'll like it
>Nephew: If it sucks you owe me 50 bucks old man!
>Me: Ugh fine, If I'm right you mow my lawn, backyard, and clean my attic for a month
>Nephew: Fucking hell... Okay deal...
I may lose this bet...
Jace Sanchez
agreed
that's also when I just completely gave up on giving this fucking show the benefit of the doubt
