Hot take, but I think every new iteration of TMNT has something different to offer the fandom. One is not better than the other besides a fan’s personal preferences.

Like the fans of ‘87 turtles are always gushing about the pure comedic gold they had to offer.

2003 turtles gave us a darker, grittier view than had previously been in the cartoons, which is something you would’ve had to read in the comics before that.

2012 turtles combined the mood and tone of the 2003 show’s darker attitude for the villains, while maintaining a balance with the more ridiculous, comedic side of the cartoons.

Personally, I haven’t seen Rise! yet, but it’s on my to-do list, same with Mutant Mayhem.

However, from what I’ve seen on this site and in a few fan fictions, you guys seem to appreciate rottmnt’s commitment to a more modern cartoon style and tone without sacrificing the inherent voice of the characters, along with the role changes they gave to the turtles.

Fans of Mutant Mayhem seem to like the more teenager-y characterization of the turtles, having them be more relatable to the current generation of fans.

Correct me if I’m wrong on these analyses, but my general point still stands: each of these cartoons and every new version of the turtles brings something different to the table we fans feast at. Each new show brings in a new generation of fans, and each new fan brings new ideas into the fandom. That’s why TMNT as a whole had been able to keep going and producing more media for forty years now.

So instead of hating on each new version, as we are so wont to do as staunch supporters of our own personal favorite iteration, maybe we should try to find the thing that makes these new turtles so likable! What can they bring to the table that we haven’t seen before? What makes a whole new generation of fans fall in love with these turtles?

I dunno, I just think the fandom is always way too harsh with new fans and new shows (myself included, I wasn’t too happy when Rise! came out, but I’m over it now). We end up torturing ourselves over something useless, when we could be nurturing this new generation of fans to love all the turtles the same as we do.

My personal headcanon is that among the 2003 turtles, Leo ends up being the shortest after his brothers hit their growth spurts.

It makes it easy for the other turtles to just yeet him around, so they come up with a game around it. They have to sneak up on Leo(hardest part of the challenge), toss him into the water(second part, points based on the aim and landing spot), and then run away from him as long as possible after he chases after them (third, and scariest part). Everyone gets individual points based on their performance, but they’re allowed to cooperate, since the first two steps are pretty hard to manage alone.

Leo absolutely hates the game and beats them into oblivion everytime they do it.

31th of spooky month : the Kyōrinrin📜

There are many myths on how Yokais come to be. One these myths are about objects coming up to life after having existed for over a hundred of years. Like the Kyōrinrin. These abandoned scrolls become revengeful when their owners forget about them and leave them to accumulate dust. When this happens, it's best to leave them in the capable hands of a specialist...

This little shithead, look how happy he is. He’ll finally be able to relieve some of the frustration of not being able to do anything but dodge Wapol’s attacks when he was carrying Nami and Sanji.
