[fabuloustrash05]

Feel free to explain your reason as to why!

#for me personally I like it when a Splinter and Yoshi are the same person #I feel that adds more to his character #With losing his humanity #and starting a new life #Plus it makes more sense to why he’s a ninja master #Instead of him just learning how to fight through watching someone else do it #Or reading a damn book #Or watching how to videos on YouTube #Plus it’s an easier way to tie his connection in history with Shredder to the turtles #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt mirage #tmnt 1987 #tmnt 1990 #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2012 #tmnt bayverse #rottmnt #tmntmm #mutant mayhem #tmnt splinter #master splinter #hamato yoshi

I see so much art for the future Rise turtles, BUT WHAT OF THESE!? So i did a quick messy sketch during my 1hr lecture

2003 - S3E21

#TMNT #TMNT 2003 #honestly been obsessing over these #Raphs gained some weight hes like those old war vets that sit in bars all day i love him #also another raph with an eye injury to add to the list #Leo’s not even blue #so funny he raided the kraangs wardrobe from s1/s2 i think #mikey really committed to the no clothes aesthetic #also yeah i know 2012 also has grown up apocalyptic versions ill get to that i havent watched s4/s5 of that show yet #but look at these old men #these geezers #raph smiled once when he hugged Donnie #and he also was like ninjitsu who as he started throwing glass #Leo forgot hes a turtle with a shell but that’s fine hes senile #him and raph held hands i was sobbing #mikey you where forgotten too quickly ill mourn you i love you #also spoilers for e23 but when Donnie’s like YOUR ALL YOUNG AND MIKEY YOU HAVE BOTH ARMS #the brothers are like hello Donnie and dont even question it #they all went to their dream world and Donnie went through the horrors #very excited for 2012 which is the only version of my knowledge to have a future Donnie…TECHnically #anyway yeah these guys love them April didnt mourn them enough #ive decided the oversized jacket raph has was found at caseys #hed got it cheap in a sale even thought its ginormous and then this chunky dude found it and was like for me :) #took me ages to figure out why Leo wasn’t wearing glasses and then drawing this i was like oh shell his mask is gone #dont look Leo in the yes hes like Medusa you’ll turn to stone #raphael splinterson #leonardo splinterson #Michaelangelo splinterson #TMNT SAINW #SAINW

Thinking about 2012!Leo and Rise!Leo, and how if you look at them in the first episodes of their respective season 1 they actually are so much the same character at the base just with different upbringing, but what ends up making them different at the end of their series is actually a result of a thing they have in common:

That is, their tendency to emulate and play a role (which I've loved every post where I've seen people talk about this). Except their different upbringings meant they had very different role models (their tv show of choice and their dads) (especially their dads) and so the archetypes they developed themselves into changed.

2012!Leo was growing into, ehhh, I guess you could call it a Noble Warrior archetype? Whereas rise!Leo was going more, like, Trickster Hero. Which I think means that even if rise!Leo was able to reach the very end of his arc they would have functioned very differently as leaders, but in ways that were still very true to their characters!

(Admittedly everything has to be speculation and extrapolation on where characters were going in Rise, but...)

And I know I'm probably just rehashing ground others have already tread but I can't stop thinking about how that would play out. And also how in a crossover I kinda think even at their best the two Leos would maybe drive each other a bit crazy at first until they understood each other.

Like yes, yeah, 2012!Leo helping the newer/younger iteration work through his issues and insecurities to reach his full potential is GREAT, I always love reading it, but ALSO sometimes I want to see two developed leaders with different specialties (personal battle skills and commanding a flat-out fight vs ...idk how to put this, creative strategies and tactics? pseudo-diplomatic nonsense? ...defeating an enemy vs accomplishing a goal? the difference is this thing I can feel but am having trouble putting into words). I just think it would be interesting to see their different approaches to problem solving bounce off each other, whether they were working together or in a VS. situation.

#look I keep having this conversation on loop in my brain #I'm hoping by typing it out and dropping it into the void #my brain will SHUT UP about it #I just finished a 2012 watch-through a month or so back #and I have a lot of thoughts about it I'm turning over in my brain #like a puzzle box #occasionally that pings over to comparing the two iterations I've watched #ALSO the moment I went 'rise!Leo is a trickster hero' #is also the moment I went 'lol no wonder people keep grabbing epic the musical songs for animatics' #tmnt #rottmnt #tmnt 2012 #yza talks about a thing

[iosagol]

haha I can't fully process the way that the first half of season three of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 works

It's basically six kids on a farm in the middle of the woods dropped smack into the center of the horror genre, dealing with creepy dark shadows outside the window and mysterious nightmares and actual bigfoot and inoperative flashlights and a creature that picks them off one by one

except 2/3rds of these kids are mutated turtles that know nunjitsu

and also there are aliens

HAHA AND ALSO there's this casual sideplot for at least five episodes about how the most stable member of the team is struggling with handling a serious injury and starts defining himself by his injury to the point where he'd rather sit in one place complaining than take action

But finally there's a point when his friends are stolen by a worm/fish/bird monster and he has to climb a mountain to rescue them, and he starts to sit down and complain but then something threatens his life and he reacts without thinking and suddenly he realizes that he's not as weak as he thought he was

He was letting the injury become much more than it really was, he was letting it get in his head and become his identity, but he can absolutely recover if he changes his mindset

And so he climbs that fricking mountain and starts saying things like "I won't let a little pain stop me" and he starts actually recovering

The pain isn't erased, we see him jump out of a tree in the next episode and show discomfort because he landed on the injured knee, but he gets right back up

and it's sensational

it's incredible

Back to the wacky horror stuff tho, there's literally an episode involving like

a frog rebellion? like this group of mutated frogs who feel oppressed by the humans and try to stage an uprising except the humans they're aiming at are two (2) teenagers who are just minding their business on one (1) battered farmhouse

Napoleon Bonafrog leads this charge

#It's insane I love it #Season 3 just amped everything up #Season 4 is of course the best but S3 is amazing #Watching the entirety of S3 through for the very first time #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #Tmnt 2012 season 3 #Within the woods #Eye of the chimaera #vision quest

[angelmichelangelo]

can we just talk about how easily mikey is able to take on his brothers that are possessed and not holding back at all? he had some serious untapped potential in this show that was so wasted

#like. it’s canon that even splinter knows he’s got the most raw talent than all of the others combined #and in that ep when the killed the shredder he was the only one with an aura around him #and splinter said him and Leo were lost in touch with their spiritual self #AND YET!! AND FUCKIN YET!!!!!!! #he was sidelined and ignored in favor of using him for comedic effect entirely #it’s like if im watching through the whole series once i get to the journey to the centre of mikeys mind #im like ‘oh. well the mikey arc was fun whilst it lasted’ because that is the LAST actual centric episode he has #and… and it’s not even that good lmao #like. sigh. mikey as a character always has so much potential and so much to give #if producers and writers could take him seriously just once i wouldn’t have to storm nickelodeon hq with a hockey stick #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2k12 #tmnt michelangelo #tmnt raphael #tmnt leonardo #tmnt donatello

[errorwarblesrr]

Watching tmnt 2012 for the first time. I feel like I'm either tripping balls or witnessing nightmare fuel every episode.

#tmnt 2012 #I'm half-way through season 2 #just watched the fungus episode #btw this isn't me hating it but theres just some wacky shit here

[featherlikescartoons]

Rise AU idea where the other TMNT shows exist in the Rise universe Splinter originally heard about TMNT as a teenager, but didn't explore it further. All he knew was that it was about four mutant teenage turtles who were raised by a ninja rat man Then, years later, he's standing there as a ninja rat man with four baby mutant turtles. Should probably look into those turtle cartoons, huh? And now everyone is fully aware they are in a ninja turtles iteration, but the only material they have to go off of are the other shows and expect their lives to play by those rules, in one way or another. Except, this is Rise we're talking about, and everyone is constantly getting blindsided Leo is verbally acknowledged as the leader from the start, but there's a bit of a silent agreement that Raph's leader. No one ever brings it up, but they know. Pretty early on they start having conversations about if they are really in a TMNT universe, or if this is just a huge coincidence. Like, the whole Hamato Clan thing can't be a coincidence, right? But Leo and Raph's personalities don't match up incredibly well, and the age order should be flipped... Not to mention Splinter's not exactly the no-nonsense, wise sensei from the other tmnt shows. But this would've been quite the hefty coincidence.... hmmmmmm

#hmmmm #what we gonna call this #I seriously have no idea #Rise AU #rottmnt AU #save rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt #tmnt AU #I feel like I should point out that aside from Rise #I've only watched 4 seasons of 2012 #everything else I know about the others was gained through fandom osmosis #oop #feather says some stuff

[virgilisspidey]

Put in the tags the first tmnt iteration you've encountered and how it dragged you in the fandom

#it was tmnt 2003 #watched it on a hotel tv when i couldn't go back to sleep because an earthquake happened in the middle of the night #uncle forced us to go out of the hotel and we went back in and i just watched tv #got traumatised by brain and i found out it was 2003 baxter stockman i will never be the same #years later i found out about 2012 through a filipino dubbed version of sunday cartoons on abscbn #got hooked and then forgot about it #and then i got sucked into the world of fanfiction #the rest is history

[wiredalienvampire]

I just finished season 1 of tmnt 2012 today! I have so many thoughts on it and it's making me feel Insane but for now I'll I have to say is this

I am currently adopting these silly little turtles as we speak, they are my sons now

Also splinter is hot as fuck and I want him to be my husband

#'Darren why did it take you so long to finish a whole 26 episode season?' I'm bad at watching shows ok!!!! #I have to be in the right head space to watch through a single episode of something. And Also have the time for it #And I have to put everything down so I can watch and think about the thing I'm watching in a meaningful way #Idk how people are able to binge watch shows in one sitting. How is that even possible #Thankfully I managed to watch through the last 3 episodes of season 1 in one go today. Mostly because of how hooked and excited I was #I plan to start season 2 very soon but oh my gosh I'm so insane about this show it drives me nuts and I mean that in a good way ^_^ #I plan to draw fanart of these silly heads in a little bit. I love them so much #*ramble txt #Tmnt #Tmnt 2012

[cryptvokeeper]

Why is it always (and by always I mean like twice) “the spirit of 2012 shredder goes to the rise universe and fucks with rise Leo and the 2012 turtles gotta help him” and never “rise Krang prime goes to the 2012 universe to take revenge on 2012 Leo and the rise crew gotta help him”

#Rottmnt #i would write it myself but I can’t I haven’t finished 2012 series yet #I am dragging myself kicking and screaming through it #I don’t know what possessed me in the 5 day timespan I watched the entirety of rise but it has firmly left me now #And I am back to being unable to pay attention to any media that is not vidya gaems #tmnt 2012

[tyeballz]

had a brain fart while watching the season 2 finale (again)

i was wondering why the turtles (and splinter still) had their humanity while aprils dad didnt and its literally because that the kraang kept trying to perfect mutagen

the closer they were to perfecting the mutagen, the more the mutant loses their humanity and being mindless slaves for the kraang (as mikey has said)

#tmnt #tmnt 2012 #tye rambles bout things #im just tryna eat pasta while watching leo get thrown through a window but here we are #sorry if this legit doesnt make any sense i cant word it correctly rn im just freaking out over this realisation omg #i also bet the batch that mutated shredders henchmen were more of the older stuff #idk if mutagen expires or something #plus stockman experimenting with it to make bepop and rocksteady

[g00ngala]

i swear i have tmnt opinions yall are not ready for

#hannah.txt #it might not be on here but at least on tiktok theres this like feud between rise fans and 2012 fans right #and its like. i get it if you dont want to call rottmnt your favorite tmnt adaptation. but like 2012? really lol? #specifically people saying its better than rise and its like thats insane to me im sorry #if you want to say the 2003 version is better than rise then you know what? sure absolutely. 2003 goes hard. but like 2012? #to set the record straight i like tmnt 2012 i enjoy it. but not because it is good lmao. writing wise it is an absolute trainwreck #however its an extremely funny trainwreck and it has bits of salvageable characters and arcs #and its like #i dont want to be one of those new fans hating on the old shit or whatever because i really am not #but speaking as someone who is watching through all 3 shows. 2012 is bad and by bad i mean like inconsistent. extremely inconsistent #and like to sit there and say rise is worse than 2012 with your full chest is some unbelievable nostalgia blindness #i luv the 2012 characters and the show is hysterical however a goof 50% it is hysterical on accident and not on purpose #sometimes these 'old fans' (a little funny bc they're obsessed with what was the newest tv show before rise) #are so obsessed with familiar that any break from that is so mind shattering to ttem that they hate it #and heres the thing 2012 is not a wholely bad show i think it is an extremely 2012 show + the writing is misogynistic and not thought out #its just like idk. im not that heated about it i think its just really funny #how dedicated some people are to defending the show with an inc//est plotline and the worst romantic subplots ever #like. are you allowed to like it despite its flaws? 100% . like i said i like it a lot despite my criticisms #but like saying its better than rise or 2003 for that matter... come on now. face reality my friend. be honest w urself #ok rant over LMFAO

[applecherry108]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

If you think someone else has a “trash” opinion about the 2012 turtles:

only the first season is on Netflix

none of your favorite character development is in season 1

#since Netflix is still the ‘base standard’ streaming service most people have access to #I just checked paramount+ and it looks like they finally added through season 3 at least #and since people have forgotten how to pirate media… #Raph especially didn’t have much if any good development in the first season #and since rise was a lot of newer fans’ first experience with tmnt it’s a culture shock to watch othe iterations #I don’t blame ppl who can’t get through 2012 esp when they start from the beginning and only have access to s1 #please stop acting like these characters were perfect saints from the get-go #they were disaster teenagers #they grew a lot as people #but not in the first fucking season #apple talks
