What I'd really like to see is a full length feature of middle aged mutant ninja turtles.

Looking forward to their iteration of The Shredder, and glad they kept it for the sequel.

Maybe, I'll change my username to TheShredder88 :sarcasm:
This is an IP that really should remain Animated. I doubt there's much appetite for a live action Turtles movie over the coming few years.

See how their next one goes.

New series just came out today, I only watched 1 episode but you can tell they definitely saved money in the animation since it looks like it's trying to be a cheap version of what they used in the movie and no Jackie Chan as splinter so they just have him speak "vermin" Also thought it was a missed opportunity not to have a real theme song for the series. Storyline and character wise I thought it was fine.

I like the new series, nothing is going to top the 1987, 2003, or even 2012 series. Those had something special and the voice acting casting was just so much better, imo.

But I watched the first two episodes and it was pretty good, Much better than that Rise of the TMNT crap.

Yeah I wasn't even trying to compare it to the other series, I really liked the last movie so I was hoping the animation would be more like that. Has a lot of action and the story seemed fine, I just hadn't seen anything for it until yesterday so it was weird not seeing the same animation as the movie but I get they wanted to save money since it's just a streaming series.

Also I think I've said it in here before but each series always takes a little time for me to get use to the animation since they are all pretty different.

The movie did very well in the box office, surpassed its budget by a wide margin, so am surprised they did not have more of a budget for this series. They have a new movie on the horizon, which is a sequel to last years movie and tied into this series.

Plus a Rated R movie , based off the Last Ronin comic, that one I’m really excited about.

TMNT, Transformers, GI Joe, etc. all have interesting futures.
TMNT, I feel has done a good job at rebooting itself for each new generation. Helped that the cast was fairly small (4 turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, plus Shredder, Kirai, Kang, Beebop, Rocksteady, Baxter). And a few more side characters. So, lots of character development and each turtle had a certain personality. Probably best to stay out of live action.

Transformers, influence of the GI fans hang over the franchise. Which is both good and bad. They are the ones that are more into buying the higher end toys. But, will compare all new series to G1. With trademarks, they have to keep issuing new versions of the same characters, so not getting many brand new characters or some of the later G1 characters, when it comes to series (regular or recurring cast). If they return to live action, need a complete reboot from the Bayverse. Too bad TF1 didn't match TMNT's box office. Bad marketing. Whoever did trailer 1 and whoever okayed it for release should be fired and never have anything to do with TF again. Movie overall was solid. But, first trailer, made me think it was too kiddie or goofy. When, it was actually a fairly sound origin movie.

GI Joe, I think that is going to be the hardest one to keep going. Last couple of tv series I think Cobra employed machines for their army, which allows the Joes to destroy them vs shoot humans. Can't have that on TV. I don't think we see another live action movie for the franchise.
