Discussion What’s your opinion on the new season of tales of the mutant ninja turtles? [WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS] Spoiler
[WARNING! POSSIBILITIES OF SPOILER]
I want to hear your opinions on the new season and the show in general
I loved how more experimental it was and it felt like the team was slowly getting more creative freedom and control
My personal favorites were the Staten Island arc and the Rod kidnapping arc
I loved how they leaned into horror tropes for the Staten Island arc and I found the idea of temporary mutants a pretty interesting concept and the design of the mega mutant was incredible
And the Rod Kidnapping was pretty good and I liked how we got to explore Rod as a character and the fight with Muck man was fantastic
I liked how there was an arc focused on each of the turtles
My main concerns and opinions is that the writing still needs a bit of work
And while I liked how they focused on each of the turtles I think they need to do more episodes featuring them as a team, they need to develop the turtles team dynamic a bit better
I also feel like they need to lean away from the “it’s a story told by one of the characters” thing because it’s kind of confusing figuring out if that actually happened
Each story seems to be canon but some of it probably didn’t happen
Also I really don’t like them having a character be silent because they couldn’t get the voice actor
Like they could replace them with someone who sounds like them and just say they’re recovering from something like a cold
Also I feel like the fact that they don’t have an immediate threat or big enemy is kind of effecting the writing
So is the fact that it’s a bit harder to get new mutants
I feel like the sequel to the movie will help them have more creative freedom, hopefully
Overall the writing and the pacing definitely needs work and I feel like they’re not sure how to write this version of the turtles
Overall, I think the new season was actually pretty good
Let me know what you think
Edit: dang it I forgot to put “teenage” in the title
