This movie was good. This board is nuts.
It's ok for people to disagree on taste. I hated the frick out of it, and thought it looked like the inside of an NYC trash can, but I also recognize that was deliberate, and some people are into that.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve seen some clips and I’m on the fence.
Is the entire movie just nonstop rambling? Every clip I’ve seen just seems like the movie is allergic to just being quiet. Part of what made the 1991 movie so good was how it knew when to play up the Turtles being young, but also emphasized their training and discipline by letting have moments where they look inwards or acknowledge a threat.
You realize this is the same dude who made sausage party? But rips are out. You can easily check if you like.
Why are all you gays who have a hate boner for this movie so miserable that you can just think maybe people actually like the movie and there's a reason both critics and audiences gave it great reveiws.
FRICK CRITICS, FRICK AUDIENCE POLLS. TRUST NO EYES BUT YOUR OWN. besides the rips are out. Why the FRICK would you listen to critics at this point?
I'm just glad it exposes all those people dick-riding The Last Wish and Spider-Verse etc as chasing hipster art clout instead of actually believing they have merit
This guy became a massive homosexual seemingly overnight. I actually agreed with him on a lot of things such as Moon Knight TV series and then he cucks out for Slott and becomes a shameless shill for any kind of slop.

I agree with this idk what the frick happened to this homie
[...]
This, he was so based before he had 100k subs, now he sucks.
He learned that screaming that a thing sucks won't make shit better and at the end of the day why fricking bother with that
Also he deleted his discord because people called him out for using the hard r lmao
>hard r
I can never tell which word these twitter/discord types are talking about.
moron or Black person. which is it. One is clearly stronger than the other.

The best moments are the ones where the turtles aren't talking. Otherwise a lot of them are doing very safe, quippy, unfunny shit or blurting out their 1-dimensional character arcs so the audience can understand their motivations. They have nothing interesting or funny to say. My theater was dead silent for most of the jokes with some of the biggest gags getting a pity chuckle.
I sincerely do not understand how people watched this movie and then came back so fricking hyped up and excited that the turtles are now awkward kids with confidence and self-esteem problems who just want to be normal and go to high school.
>I sincerely do not understand how people watched this movie and then came back so fricking hyped up and excited that the turtles are now awkward kids with confidence and self-esteem problems who just want to be normal and go to high school.
For some reason it's been decided that every teenage character has to be like this now.
Why are all you gays who have a hate boner for this movie so miserable that you can just think maybe people actually like the movie and there's a reason both critics and audiences gave it great reveiws.
Because every single time someone gives their reasons for liking the movie, it's always the same flimsy shit that doesn't really say anything about the characters, plot, or pacing. It's always >they act like real teens! >art style is very unique! >haha soundtrack because they played the funny he-man song
The art and animation are carrying the whole movie, but the plot and characters suck ass. And that's even with Black April somehow being the best written character in the whole movie. People who keep defending it are effectively just lying to themselves and getting angry when other people don't play along after seeing the same soulless, boring movie.
I liked the movie. I thought the overall theme was good in that all of the main characters were misfits that wanted acceptance and went about getting it in different ways. The fight choreography was good. The main villain was threatening in that he just wanted to straight up kill all of humanity. The only thing I really didn’t care for was the ultrom lady. Like, the whole thing with her and her group was out of left field outside of the beginning of the film. I also felt that there could have been a different ending where Baxter stockman could have been brought back to basically talk super fly down from what he was doing rather than defeating him through combat. The final battle should have been everyone basically holding the line until something like that could happen.
I think most of the b***hing over this movie is fricking moronic on several levels.
See, I watched the same movie you did and I have trouble agreeing. >I thought the overall theme was good in that all of the main characters were misfits that wanted acceptance and went about getting it in different ways
They're mutants, which makes them freaks who don't fit into society. The turtles go about seeking acceptance all in the same way: make the city love them by becoming heroes.
>The fight choreography was good
The scene where they're busting up different criminal groups is decent, the rest of it is pretty standard stuff that's on par with the Shrek movies.
>The main villain was threatening in that he just wanted to straight up kill all of humanity.
I don't think I'd call that threatened as much as it's just.... very direct? Him being a super genius and also a cackling one-dimensional maniac wasn't really threatening as much as it was just a waste of Ice Cube's VA talent. He didn't even seem to kill anyone as a fricking Kaiju.
>The only thing I really didn’t care for was the ultrom lady.
TCRI and Cynthia Utrom seems like leftover material from a different draft of the script. She didn't need to be in the movie at all.
>Baxter Stockman
Seemed pointless to put him in the story just to kill him in the first 5 minutes. No telling if the movie would be better if they wrote it different, but it definitely squandered just about everything that was there.
>I think most of the b***hing over this movie is fricking moronic on several levels.
I dunno man, it kinda seems like you're struggling to find something positive to saw about it. At best, it's a movie you can watch that has a beginning, middle, and end. It has characters with motivations and traits. Events transpire and the consequences of those events create a story. It is very much a movie... and that's a pretty good reason to be negative about it. 40 years of TMNT and we're still getting shit that gets the soaring praise of "it's watchable, I guess"
> They're mutants, which makes them freaks who don't fit into society. The turtles go about seeking acceptance all in the same way: make the city love them by becoming heroes.
1) The turtles want to be accepted by being heroes.
2) April, who is basically an outcast, wants to report on them to gain acceptance.
3) Super fly wants to exterminate mankind and make mutants to gain acceptance
4) Splinter wants to hide away but really wants acceptance.
> I don't think I'd call that threatened as much as it's just.... very direct?
I called him threatening. His goal was sone real supervillain shit and he could easily beat all the turtles combined by himself. He almost succeeded.
> Seemed pointless to put him in the story just to kill him in the first 5 minutes.
The thing is that they weren’t clear as to whether he died or not.
> it kinda seems like you're struggling to find something positive to saw about it.
Man, I’m not struggling at all to find positive things to say about the movie. I plainly said what I liked and disliked about the film. You just sat here and tried to diminish what I said without actually disproving a single thing that I said. Most of the b***hing that I’ve seen here over the movie has nothing to do with what’s actually in the fricking film.
>Another homosexual hyperfocusing on the "teen" aspect because he's got shit for brains
Wish they'd frick off and kill themselves already. Only morons who say this never liked the TMNT in the first place and think that 4 characters talking over each other is "realistic" and "relatable" instead of just obnoxious.
The best moments are the ones where the turtles aren't talking. Otherwise a lot of them are doing very safe, quippy, unfunny shit or blurting out their 1-dimensional character arcs so the audience can understand their motivations. They have nothing interesting or funny to say. My theater was dead silent for most of the jokes with some of the biggest gags getting a pity chuckle.

As a little kid, them being teenage always felt like it was only for alliteration with turtles, they might as well have been full adults to me
(Then later I learned it was an X-Men/New Mutants joke)
All this shit about the turtles needing to act like actual modern, realistic, relatable zoomeers feels it's a very female mindset. Being unable to appreciate characters for simply being cool as they are. Getting frustrated that something doesn't match their perceived notion of what that label should be. And it's not even that they need it to be a reflection of reality, just that it reflects what their algorithmic feed of mainstream slop tell them reality is like.
>they might as well have been full adults to me
Yeah. Other iterations were physically bigger, more mature and experienced, and some were basically superheroes
>some were basically superheroes
It kinda comes and goes in different versions, but they generally are stronger, tougher, recover more quickly, and will live a lot longer because of a combination of mutagen, turtle traits, and peak-physical-condition Batman-esque ninja training. Donnie's genius most often goes into full capeshit superscience levels in almost every version
Yeah, which is why it's gotta be a deliberate choice in this movie to make them characters who've never even been in a real fight before
IMO it's preferable to them being able to toss shipping containers around
Mutant Mayhem does something weird where they have never fought anyone before, but they are still superhumanly capable, and after botching the first few seconds of an ambush, they remain superhuman capable for the rest o the movie. I can see the appeal of doing a story about their first time out, getting a feel for real combat and putting their training into practice, but Mutant Mayhem awkwardly glosses over the fact that they are lacking confidence, but acting like they've been doing the superhero thing for years like the other versions of TMNT have.

They’ve probably fought eachother during their training. I think it’s wild that they learned how to actually fight from Kung-fu movies, which are made to be extra showy, which is sorta the opposite of being a good fighter or having good moves in a fight.

Learning from kung-fu movies is dumb and silly. That said, what were the other explanations for where their skills came from?
I only remember the 03 cartoon, where Splinter watched his owner (secretly some kind of interdimensional karate warrior) practice moves
TMNT was literally the result of two guys drawing a silly image in a drunken and/or stoned haze, then sobering up and deciding to do something with it by mocking comic books.
Not really there are plenty of good animation for adults it's just westoids and they're gay "this is for kids" shit have basically handicapped and fricked any chance we have to create cool adult shows
I won't use the A-word but let's be honest with ourselves
You guys straight up are starting to sound like Guy level schizos over this movie. I get you guys don't like it but do we really need like 4 ragebait threads a day about how the only fans of this movie are "shills". Like why not just make a thread about a TMNT product you like then.
>YouTube homepage >See thumbnail like this >Click "Don't recommend channel"
You and I got better business on the internet than wasting time being upset about things that live or die depending on how much buzz our attention generated for the studio or the dung beetles that thrive off said studios' shit.
Saw the movie the other day cuz our summer camp did it as a field trip for our last day
It's alright.
It genuinely looks amazing in motion and the artstyle is actually charming, it feels very 90's Nickelodeon in some places, and some scenes were actually good like whenever the turtles are being a family with Splinter.
Splinter was probably the best part too actually, being voiced by Jackie Chan will do that
HOWEVER
It's also painfully unfunny, April is still ugly (but wasn't insufferable as a character honestly) and the heel-turn the mutants have near the end felt kind of forced but whatever
If I wanted to be generous it's like a 6/10, but the 90s Turtle movies are still kino and my preferred choice
Other than the flashback/origin scene, there's really not a lot of familial action with Splinter. I also thought Jackie Chan sucked shit because he's can barely speak english, but to each their own.
>If I wanted to be generous it's like a 6/10
Yeah, that's about where I'd put it, too. It's not irredeemably bad, but it's not especially good.
Anyone else find it weird and kinda distracting how many times the Turtles would name drop actual real world things? Like, I remember Donnie mentioning Forza Horizon.
I mean I enjoyed parts of the movie, I also enjoyed parts of the bay films, but they both have major faults, this one is that they have no villains, they litterally have every viallin do a face turn and betray super fly, it would be fricking moronic if bebop and rocksteady become villains in the second film now because they already were villains
Are you surpise that 99% of normie reviewers are leftoid suck ups? it all comes back to Susan Wackshitski and her army of sjws who rule over youtube and google, they frick up the website to ban everyone not on the far left.
Would be less pathetic if you were actually a shill, because at least you'd be getting paid to come here and pout about people saying mean things about a mediocre-at-best kids movie.
Noticing a trend with the totally-not-a-shill threads >shill shows up with some canned "I just saw Mutant Mayhem™ and it's great!" post >A few more non-replying posts say the same shit >anons reply with "lol this movie is bad actually" >angry homosexual starts seething and lashing out and insisting no one has any legit criticisms against the movie >anons provide legiti criticism >angry homosexual stops posting >new thread saying "wow I loved this movie it's so great!" shows up a short time later.
"I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate. They don't really know much about movies they don't know the history, they don't know the technology they don't know anything so for them to try to analyse they're lost." - George Lucas
The dunning-kruger effect is a psychological phenomenon in which the less a person knows about a subject the more they feel that they're an expert. If a person is so ignorant that they're unable to conceptualise what they don't know they believe they know everything.
Sometimes when one dismisses a critic they use phrases such as "I'd like to see you do something better" or "you can't talk because you can't make something like this" and a counter argument that can be said to all that is "you don't have to be good at something to know when someone else is bad at it". You don't have to be a good basketball player to know and point out when someone else is bad at it, but the thing with that is you would at least have to know how the basketball game works to know. True, you don't need to be good at something to know when someone else is doing it wrong, but you must still have to know what you’re talking about and have credibility.
Even when one is an expert on something they may not be an expert with another thing. You might be an expert at knowing how storytelling works, but they may not be an expert or have a good understanding of the material itself they are critiquing and will be called out by the bigger and knowledgeable fans of that work. To when one points out plot holes that aren't actually there, or when one doesn't even know what a plot hole is in the first place.
This is a problem with the critics of entertainment. They need to know how both storytelling and the show or book they are talking about truly is and it probably takes more than just one casual watch or read in order to do that.
I think even just on a more basic level, ignorance of the material and the genre it comes from can lead people to overestimate the quality of something. People who don't give a frick or who are only peripherally aware of TMNT over the last 40 fricking years, will drastically overvalue and overemphasize slight changes and not understand how badly things are fricked up by gutting core elements while trying to punch up and modernize a story that's got decades of better material to work with.
I'm 30 and I came out of the theater deciding that this movie 100% wasn't aimed at me at all. I have zero problem with that. I even liked how there wasn't a frickton of 87' nostalgiabait references (outside of the mutants themselves i guess). A lot of TMNT adaptations immediately fallback on throwing memberberries at you
You need to ask a 14 year old Tiktok teen what they thought because that is absolutely the target demographic. The slang, references, general way of speaking were all incredibly accurate to how kids are today. I was impressed at how it didn't even sound like a 40 year old balding dough boy in the writers room trying to sound like a Tik Tok teen, it straight up felt like they had kids write the dialouge.
I live/have lived with 4 zoomers. They don't sound like that. They didn't sound like that when they were 15. The turtles sound like what Seth Rogen and Jeff Rowe assumed zoomers sound like by scrolling through tiktok and seeing a bunch of immature 20-something year olds acting like jackasses, and assumed that's what teens are like.
You understand that the point is the turtles are weirdos who's only knowledge of humans is from the media they consume right? April literally says they're weird in the movie for the way they talk and act.
I thought the point was that they talk like "real teens" and they're finally living up the to "teenage" part of their title, which is the one thing critics and braindead homosexuals refuse to shut up about?
I don't get these critics. This iteration is clearly focused on the Mutant aspect the most. It goes down to the art style of the movie, with even the humans looking like mutans. And Super Fly is the main villain.
>I guess I'm subconsciously going off of internet stuff too.
It's just what happens once you get past that part of your life and when you stop thinking about it, you become receptive to the painstakingly controlled and tailored version of reality presented by the trending tabs and whatever filters to the top of the algorithmic stew.
I'd be more impressed if the 2012 series didn't already beat this movie to the punch with the "immature kiddy turtle" bit. I guess this is a more..."realized" version?
>Has Godzilla in name >Doesn't talk about Godzilla >Talks about how it's dumb movies don't let heroes wear mask and brings up movies that do >Doesn't bring up any JP shit which does it the most.
Tired of these reviews just no criticism just straight up dick riding this terrible movie
Godzilla Mendoza sold himself to the woke for clicks and threw it all in our faces with a shitty ass smarmy clip ''FINALLY'' from some show i bet is from wokeflix.
Why are americans sad about characters in movies and media in general becoming more brown with each decade?
I eam this is what happenning with your country. The demographics are shifting. There are less whites and more browns of various shade.
Why should the media cater to whites when they are who actually becoming minorities?
mexicans and blacks on the other hand increase in numbers. You could as well say it is their country now, so why is every major character in the media should be white specifically now?
It is not logical to me.
>MFW one reason I'm looking forward to the Ryan Reynolds produced BMFM show (And the new COW Boys of Moo Mesa one) is to get away from a bunch of dysfuntional morons who hate each other and complain about the smallest change in a continuity.
I disliked turtle movie for REAL reasons like April being a teenager yet again instead of an adult role model for the turtles different from Splinter, she should be the one who introduces them to pizza and becomes their mother figure/cool sister.
>YFW the new show takes potshots at MM like the Mice being happy at not getting a movie by Seth Rogen where they and Charley would be ugly as frick.

I won't use the A-word but let's be honest with ourselves
>Fricking scared to admit that anime is superior to current western animated slop.
You guys straight up are starting to sound like Guy level schizos over this movie. I get you guys don't like it but do we really need like 4 ragebait threads a day about how the only fans of this movie are "shills". Like why not just make a thread about a TMNT product you like then.
>overhyped piece of Seth Rogen shit keeps getting overhyped
>Reeee don't say bad things about this movie!
Frick you, I'm enjoying my rage.
Maybe it's a thread pushing the reviewer?
But it's not. Everything in this thread is almost entirely made up of "Mutant Mayhem bad and people who like it are dumb" post.
I prefer videos about crying about wokeness.
that's not woke, it's natural progression

You and I got better business on the internet than wasting time being upset about things that live or die depending on how much buzz our attention generated for the studio or the dung beetles that thrive off said studios' shit.
I do the same, the difference is that I'm not a homosexual like you
Saw the movie the other day cuz our summer camp did it as a field trip for our last day
It's alright.
It genuinely looks amazing in motion and the artstyle is actually charming, it feels very 90's Nickelodeon in some places, and some scenes were actually good like whenever the turtles are being a family with Splinter.
Splinter was probably the best part too actually, being voiced by Jackie Chan will do that
HOWEVER
It's also painfully unfunny, April is still ugly (but wasn't insufferable as a character honestly) and the heel-turn the mutants have near the end felt kind of forced but whatever
If I wanted to be generous it's like a 6/10, but the 90s Turtle movies are still kino and my preferred choice
Other than the flashback/origin scene, there's really not a lot of familial action with Splinter. I also thought Jackie Chan sucked shit because he's can barely speak english, but to each their own.
>If I wanted to be generous it's like a 6/10
Yeah, that's about where I'd put it, too. It's not irredeemably bad, but it's not especially good.
Tmnt 2 movie is the beat tmnt and nobody can prove me wrong.
>vanilla ice
Dont give a shit you cant tell me the turtles dancing wasnt hype.
Anyone else find it weird and kinda distracting how many times the Turtles would name drop actual real world things? Like, I remember Donnie mentioning Forza Horizon.
I mean they used to do that all the time in the 80s series so that’s probably more a homage than anything
Did they? Got any in particular that they did in the 80's show??
I mean I enjoyed parts of the movie, I also enjoyed parts of the bay films, but they both have major faults, this one is that they have no villains, they litterally have every viallin do a face turn and betray super fly, it would be fricking moronic if bebop and rocksteady become villains in the second film now because they already were villains
Are you surpise that 99% of normie reviewers are leftoid suck ups? it all comes back to Susan Wackshitski and her army of sjws who rule over youtube and google, they frick up the website to ban everyone not on the far left.
Maybe the reason so many "normies" like it is because world doesn't revolve around what a bunch of nerds on Cinemaphile think?
Then why are you so obsessed with what they think, moron?
have a nice day. Silencing any further dissent is the mark of a coward.
Its hilarious seeing this site in general degrade to the point where most of the people here have the opinions of the average out of touch boomer
The unfiltered seething and malding on display from shills is something else.
Are you talking about OP shilling their shitty youtube channel?
>THEY'RE JUST SHILLS!!!!
the amount of denial here is something else
Would be less pathetic if you were actually a shill, because at least you'd be getting paid to come here and pout about people saying mean things about a mediocre-at-best kids movie.
It was perfected in 1990. Nothing else has come close since.
TMNT movies used to have soul
TMNT would compare if the Winters aspect wasn’t so underbaked.
spider-sirs in shambles
Noticing a trend with the totally-not-a-shill threads
>shill shows up with some canned "I just saw Mutant Mayhem™ and it's great!" post
>A few more non-replying posts say the same shit
>anons reply with "lol this movie is bad actually"
>angry homosexual starts seething and lashing out and insisting no one has any legit criticisms against the movie
>anons provide legiti criticism
>angry homosexual stops posting
>new thread saying "wow I loved this movie it's so great!" shows up a short time later.
"I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate. They don't really know much about movies they don't know the history, they don't know the technology they don't know anything so for them to try to analyse they're lost." - George Lucas
The dunning-kruger effect is a psychological phenomenon in which the less a person knows about a subject the more they feel that they're an expert. If a person is so ignorant that they're unable to conceptualise what they don't know they believe they know everything.
Sometimes when one dismisses a critic they use phrases such as "I'd like to see you do something better" or "you can't talk because you can't make something like this" and a counter argument that can be said to all that is "you don't have to be good at something to know when someone else is bad at it". You don't have to be a good basketball player to know and point out when someone else is bad at it, but the thing with that is you would at least have to know how the basketball game works to know. True, you don't need to be good at something to know when someone else is doing it wrong, but you must still have to know what you’re talking about and have credibility.
Even when one is an expert on something they may not be an expert with another thing. You might be an expert at knowing how storytelling works, but they may not be an expert or have a good understanding of the material itself they are critiquing and will be called out by the bigger and knowledgeable fans of that work. To when one points out plot holes that aren't actually there, or when one doesn't even know what a plot hole is in the first place.
This is a problem with the critics of entertainment. They need to know how both storytelling and the show or book they are talking about truly is and it probably takes more than just one casual watch or read in order to do that.
I think even just on a more basic level, ignorance of the material and the genre it comes from can lead people to overestimate the quality of something. People who don't give a frick or who are only peripherally aware of TMNT over the last 40 fricking years, will drastically overvalue and overemphasize slight changes and not understand how badly things are fricked up by gutting core elements while trying to punch up and modernize a story that's got decades of better material to work with.
I'm 30 and I came out of the theater deciding that this movie 100% wasn't aimed at me at all. I have zero problem with that. I even liked how there wasn't a frickton of 87' nostalgiabait references (outside of the mutants themselves i guess). A lot of TMNT adaptations immediately fallback on throwing memberberries at you
You need to ask a 14 year old Tiktok teen what they thought because that is absolutely the target demographic. The slang, references, general way of speaking were all incredibly accurate to how kids are today. I was impressed at how it didn't even sound like a 40 year old balding dough boy in the writers room trying to sound like a Tik Tok teen, it straight up felt like they had kids write the dialouge.
Tldr; this film made me feel like a geriatric.
I live/have lived with 4 zoomers. They don't sound like that. They didn't sound like that when they were 15. The turtles sound like what Seth Rogen and Jeff Rowe assumed zoomers sound like by scrolling through tiktok and seeing a bunch of immature 20-something year olds acting like jackasses, and assumed that's what teens are like.
You understand that the point is the turtles are weirdos who's only knowledge of humans is from the media they consume right? April literally says they're weird in the movie for the way they talk and act.
I thought the point was that they talk like "real teens" and they're finally living up the to "teenage" part of their title, which is the one thing critics and braindead homosexuals refuse to shut up about?
I don't get these critics. This iteration is clearly focused on the Mutant aspect the most. It goes down to the art style of the movie, with even the humans looking like mutans. And Super Fly is the main villain.
If the humans look like mutants, then what makes the Turtles so special? The point is that they’re the weird ones, not the regular humans.
That's fair, I haven't had a reason to talk to a teenager in a long time. I guess I'm subconsciously going off of internet stuff too.
>I guess I'm subconsciously going off of internet stuff too.
It's just what happens once you get past that part of your life and when you stop thinking about it, you become receptive to the painstakingly controlled and tailored version of reality presented by the trending tabs and whatever filters to the top of the algorithmic stew.
I have to regularly be around them, half of them sound like this when they're allowed to congregate.
I'd be more impressed if the 2012 series didn't already beat this movie to the punch with the "immature kiddy turtle" bit. I guess this is a more..."realized" version?
I'm going to beat this homie to death, the 2099 SUIT IS BLUE EVEN PETER DAVID SAID IT'S BLUE BLACK!!
>Has Godzilla in name
>Doesn't talk about Godzilla
>Talks about how it's dumb movies don't let heroes wear mask and brings up movies that do
>Doesn't bring up any JP shit which does it the most.
Godzilla Mendoza sold himself to the woke for clicks and threw it all in our faces with a shitty ass smarmy clip ''FINALLY'' from some show i bet is from wokeflix.
Why are americans sad about characters in movies and media in general becoming more brown with each decade?
I eam this is what happenning with your country. The demographics are shifting. There are less whites and more browns of various shade.
Why should the media cater to whites when they are who actually becoming minorities?
mexicans and blacks on the other hand increase in numbers. You could as well say it is their country now, so why is every major character in the media should be white specifically now?
It is not logical to me.
TMNT is American but oftentimes the stuff being racebent aren't like Snow White
GM really fell off
Bruh complains about interspecies in TMNT wait till you see mirage comics he so moronic
oh no now where will I get my disingenous opinions parroted back at me?
>MFW one reason I'm looking forward to the Ryan Reynolds produced BMFM show (And the new COW Boys of Moo Mesa one) is to get away from a bunch of dysfuntional morons who hate each other and complain about the smallest change in a continuity.
>YFW the new show takes potshots at MM like the Mice being happy at not getting a movie by Seth Rogen where they and Charley would be ugly as frick.
I disliked turtle movie for REAL reasons like April being a teenager yet again instead of an adult role model for the turtles different from Splinter, she should be the one who introduces them to pizza and becomes their mother figure/cool sister.
But... but what do Phelan and Allison think of new turt content?
