i also have worries andre, i get you

TMNT really do be ending then coming back in new styles everytime 💀 never noticed that until now

I do want this franchise to prosper but lawdd it’s hard for the tv and film side of things 🫩

dawg they need to pander to all audiences more than pandering to the kids imo. the franchise is nearly 50 years old atp.

I mean I don’t even need TMNT to pander to adults, I just want the TV/Film Side of things to have longevity. I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it feels like a “here it is” then “there it goes”.

I haven’t seen him in a while. He looks great with a beard!

I do think Mutant Mayhem will be the last thing of that iteration. There's a reason they're making a live action one in 2028

nickelodeon has been on the last good nerve I have. i'm still pissed at them for how they treated the bay turtles.

real, i think listening to the fans helped & hurt that iteration at the same time. especially in the sequel.

New fear unlocked (and can be very real): IDW gets canceled so that the TMNT get permanent residency in DC. You know they're salivating at the chance to milk that opportunity dry.😭

i’d honestly be more with that than against it. tmnt being dc could potentially give it more push with general audience & it could capitalize on crossovers which they already do best.

While initially that would be the goal, considering how they treat the Milestone characters (Where Static is from), I have no doubt that they'd get sidelined heavily in favor of DC's usual big hits like Batman and Superman. Keep them separated benefits the tmnt more imo

And I am speaking mostly towards the comics side. In media like movies and TV shows, that's less of a problem because neither properties have a definitive version like the comics. Thats where this merger would shine for tmnt. Warner Bros has more resources for those things

As for video games, that is also unclear because neither studio have solid avenues to take with video games other than Lego. WB shut down most of their gaming division and Paramount doesn't have a reliable studio other than Game Mills who does contract work for them like thq

Mans Grew a whole beard

I'm worried due to how each iteration now seems to die out quicker than the older one. Rise and Mutant Mayhem's series could only get 2 seasons for a franchise that could get at least 5 seasons each for its shows. I'm worried what that might mean for a future series.

Majorly off put by the beard. Never saw him like that before.

he’s had a beard for years, i’d argue he’s had a beard longer than he’s been without it by this point. it was just usually stubble.

Unrelated but it’s crazy seeing him with a beard
