So with the last episodes of this iteration of the Turtles dated to air on the 12th (or already on DVD if your that into it) Nick seems to have put out the Logo and main voice cast for their second attempt at the series. I'll let Andre do the talking.

 

 

That being said, no one on the voice cast excites me and the more comedic tone of the series sends all sorts of "TTGo!" chills down my spine. But Paulsen taking the Voice Direction reins from Romano is a great legacy baton pass.

Devil's advocate: Making a second all-new series on the same network of course it needs to be different from the one before it otherwise why not just another season of the previous show? So good or bad it being more comedic then action gives the show a unique identity at the very least.

[Daith]

Nothing wrong with being different. We have three TMNT series already that all have their strengths and weaknesses. But I just don't want a turn like CN did to Teen Titans, Powerpuff Girls and somewhat Ben 10 (more just the animation on Ben)

So, Leo and Raph will basically have their personalities switched?

[Clutch]

While it remains to be seen if the format and character personalities could facilitate it...If the intent is to start off with a Turtles series where Raph is the leader and slowly build to a point where it becomes evident Leo is the better fit...that seems like a great idea.

The definition of Leo's character sometimes seems to suffer a bit at the expense of his role as the Leader of the Bunch, while not being leader fleshes Raph out more in turn with the repeatedly revisited theme that he's both the runner-up to and the greatest challenge of Leo's leadership because he's a skilled fighter brought down by him being a cocky hot-head.  Having to do it all in reverse, you get the challenge of letting the traits that make Leo an appropriate leader surface over time, while Raphael can be his temperamental self while also being subject to an inverted version of the same self-reflection story beats Leo frequently gets.

I wouldn't fret just yet -- Teen Titan comparisons were being made with ill will towards the 2012 series at the start as well.

New show, new continuity, new thread.  :-)

[PiratedTVPro]

I'll watch anything with Ben Schwarz.

[Confuzor]

Damn! Kevin Michael Richadson did a spot on impression of James Avery's Shredder!

[Darknova4life]

Yes, he was perfect.

[Sabrblade]

Wrong thread?

[Confuzor]

Ah. I had thought the thread just got a title change. My bad.

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

And that's why I wondered if we weren't jumping the gun on having a new thread at this point.

Could this be our first look at Rise's art style?

[Zillatron]

It's the Powerpuff Turtles!

God I hope not. But considering the rest of the franchises on the poster are mostly within their norms......

[Steevy Maximus]

Well, if Nick is doing a new show...that probably explains why my local Walmart has dumped the TMNT section to clearance.

[Paladin]

I am... less than impressed with this new direction.

Well that sure is a look.

Honestly the style reminds me of TF:Animated. Unusually loose, dynamic and cartoony reinventions. If it's got writing as good as Animated it'll probably be wonderful but I think it's gonna face a lot of grumping from old fans until/unless the writing wins them over.

-ZacWilliam, I'll be curious to see the toys...

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Okay, I can deal with most of this, but what is the deal with Raph and Mike's weapons? Ralph's especially.

Oh well, I'll give it a shot.
