  Fun and irritating fact! There were promised a third season originally! Nick cancelled it and the second half of season 2 with no warning. The script writer was incredible and wrote a script for the finale overnight! Normally, that length of time for the finale would be months of work

  To be fair, fans of each iteration have been critical of the subsequent version(s) before giving them a chance.   I think the biggest problem with 'Rise' is that it rebooted the series immediately after the 2012 adaptation ended.  Had they let a few years pass before rebooting the series, I think it would of found more of an audience.

  No matter what anyone says, this April is by far my favorite one. I could not STAND April in the 2013 ninja turtles. She felt basic, bland, damsel in distress, no motivations outside season one, and overall felt like she had no chemistry with any of the turtles. Even when she learned how to fight she was only tolerable at best.  Oh and a love interest. I at least like the Casey variation still but not my favorite.

  I think you&apos;re so right when you said that old TMNT fans forget that these characters are supposed to be TEENAGERS. It&apos;s no fun to see characters meant to be teens be so serious and stoic. <br>The Rise turtles feel and act like teens

  I think everyone can agree that the animation is great. Very fluid, smooth and fast paced during the fight scenes.<br>I will admit at first I didn&apos;t like the show but honestly I was too quick to judge. It was different and that&apos;s a good thing.

  I think what ultimately killed the show was the change in leadership at Nick

  If anything, rottmnt is more like the original Teen Titans show. It deserves so much better!! The comedy is snappy, the story is well paced despite everything, and there is so much hugging. I love the dynamic between the characters and their growth throughout the series! The sibling banter between the turtles was top notch! There wasn’t a single episode where I had not laughed at least once. And Donnie is best turtle. I really hope we get a third season of this show.

  I think a lot of people got thrown initially by the goofy, silly facade of the 11 minute mini episode structure and bailed on it before the show had a chance to establish that it was setting things up and there was an actual overarching story happening. Like once you start getting to things that carry on over multiple episodes instead of one of adventures with a goofy villain, the show really sines. For example the whole plot of splinter or how they were slowly showing and setting up Leo to become the leader. It&apos;s a shame what happened to it.

  Overall I think the main reason why I love this vers of the turtles the most is because of how each suport/care for each other even when one is in the wrong.<br>Like there&apos;s only so much one can take the whole angsty leave the group or such moments :/<br><br>Tbh every character in this show feel like their own person who has interest/lives out of each other, which I think really sells it to me

  It’s a small nitpick but so glad you called Rise’s April “bold” opposed to “sassy”. They’re synonymous yet that small detail makes a world of a difference when describing any black female character.
