is that Ultimate ninja?

I can’t put my finger on it, but this design seems so fucking familiar.

If he's supposed to be a mutant, is he a specific animal or something?

First thing that popped into my head when I saw this.

He looks like something out of Transformers Animated

Why is there a Ben 10 villian in TMNT?

>would it kill the designers of this show to make a character that doesnt look like shit?
It would be extremely painful.

Yeah there's definitely a Ben 10 vibe here.

...

Theyre a big crew

Why even call it TMNT at this point?

>Christ, would it kill the designers of this show to make a character that doesnt look like shit?
Probably
>is that Ultimate ninja?
I wish
>I can’t put my finger on it, but this design seems so fucking familiar.
Looks like Derrick Wyatt Transformer

I don't know, the art style seems so derivative of other shows out there. It's like they designed a villain with create-a-character parts.

Out of everything involved with this show, a new villain is the least bad thing. I actually don't mind that at all, and just because it isn't Shredder or Krang doesn't mean there isn't room for them down the road.

But yeah, design is not too great but no design in this show is.

What's the fucking theme?

It seems to have a greater focus on magic and mysticism than the previous shows: weapons enhanced by magic, hidden underground realm, the main villain is a mutant alchemist, etc.

>Why even call it TMNT at this point?
Established titles sells.

Baron Draxum voiced by John Cena

>An alchemist warrior mutant from the Hidden City, Baron Draxum is the self-proclaimed protector of all mutant-kind. Using ooze, he plans to mutate all of humanity with his insect-like creatures called Oozesquitoes. Cena’s recurring character will debut in the premiere episode of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, premiering later this year on Nickelodeon.

>Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows the band of brothers as they discover new powers and encounter a mystical world they never knew existed beneath the streets of New York City. The new 26-episode series is co-executive produced by Andy Suriano (character designer, Samurai Jack) and Ant Ward (supervising producer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) at Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif. Veteran animation industry voice actor Rob Paulsen is voice directing the series.

I like it

I think I read that he uses alchemy?

Kinda looks like a less radical Harry Partridge/Starbarians design.

I have a theory that this show is trying to be the Ninja Turtles year one and that they will gradually become more like the stuff we are used to like the weapons and Leo being the leader. This is mostly based on the fact that the weapons are pretty close to what they had as weapons as pre-teens in the Mirage comic, issue 9 and the makers talking about us trusting in them or whatever.

Better picture with the weapons.

I'm pretty sure it's the skeleton dude from that robot monkey team show.

...

People just want Shredder, Krang Bepop and Rocksteady

why don't producers realize this?

Because its about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Theirs no way i can trust a crew that made these designs and got the show to be 11 minutes per episode
Was getting greenlight part of you plan?

>People just want Shredder, Krang Bepop and Rocksteady
>why don't producers realize this?

Because Out of the Shadows gave people Krang, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady. And it was a huge flop.

that's their argument?
not because OtS was shit?

>The reason this series failed must because we gave the fandom what they wanted in this one aspect, not because we failed in every other!

They're suits user, they likely think all of us are retarded for being into this shit while they do blow and fuck high class escorts on their yachts or whatever it is they do, they're not fans and they don't know what fans want.

>they're not fans and they don't know what fans want.
They also are bad writers too. Nolans batman films threw most of the mythos out the window but people still like them because they were good. People would be more forgiving of something new if it were good, like beast wars and TNG.

It's probably partly to do with the fact that they just wrapped up a TMNT series that was essentially a remake of the Fred Wolf cartoon and now they want to do something that deviates from it as much as possible.

Guarantee you, though, that if Rise doesn't hit the ground running, by season 2 they'll start cramming in all the classic FW characters to try and course-correct. I mean, the 2012 show started out with a mostly restrained season 1 when it came to Fred Wolf shit. Byt season 2, they fired all the writers and the series became nothing but a "what Fred Wolf character can we reintroduce in THIS episode" marathon until the end.

>Was getting greenlight part of you plan?
OFCOURSH!
Master Splinter refused our offer in favor of yours, we had to find out what he told you.

Well congratulations, you got yourself a show. Now whats the next step of your master plan for the franchise?

What the fuck is Fred Wolf and why are we supposed to know what the hell it is?

John is cool, but he really needs the money right now, now more than ever.

>What the fuck is Fred Wolf

Im still fucking mad they did a goth irma then made her into a fake for some disgusting mech that totally shit on her as a character. Not joking i dropped the show after that.

>Isn't that vilgax

>John is cool, but he really needs the money right now, now more than ever.
Why? Hes the biggest WWE wrestler atm, and hes in a few movies including that really stupid looking one about the parents trying to cuck their kids.

The joke was worth wasting the character.

All these waifu fags furiously masturbating to goth Irma for a year and then BAM! She was Gilbert Gottfried all along. I see some of them are still angry.

Is he... From the comics maybe?

He's getting divorced raped by his ex-wive. Tragic how many stupid men still get married.

Fuck you, that was fucking terrible amd they made her into some sick mockery of her. I fucking hate this show and was grinning when i heard it got a bad end in the form of nuclear devastation

>including that really stupid looking one about the parents trying to cuck their kids.
I’m sorry, What?

Crashing this series.
WITH NO SURVIVORS

I mean in all fairness, I have little hope for this series but you never know when something might surprise you. I remember being outraged when I saw designs for Transformers Animated....

>they look like Buzz Lightyear
Was my initial thought, and I hated that they didn't use guns, I thought they were trying to make a generic super hero show out of Transformers....show ended up being pretty good though, one of the better TF series for sure. I can also recall when MLP G4 was new a female friend of mine bitching about how they "sold out" because the characters looked too cute and not homely like her old pony toys, and well.....there really is no comparing older MLP shows to FIM in terms of what's better.

Its like brendan all over again, why the fuck are hollywood women so greedy and heartless?

I hope youre right, but i cant see how an action series can be good with only 11 minutes as a run time per episode.

When you're willing to sleep with big hairy creepy strangers just to get a chance at fame and fortune, you pretty much have no self-respect or moral compass of any kind to start with.

It looks like this one star wars character from Clone Wars. Not surprising, really, cause the style is very Samurai Jack, and I am okay with that.

>Not surprising, really, cause the style is very Samurai Jack, and I am okay with that.
Thing is SJ looked good, while this clearly doesnt

...

The Foot's in, so Shredder will probably show up.

Hell, Splinter's been easy-going and getting fat in the series because the Shredder has not entered his life yet.

Have you actually seen it in motion?

...

Needs more skeleton.

>>selfie stick bo-staff
god this is gonna look so dated next decade when we have selfie drones.

He looks like a Zandalari Troll fucked Abe Sapian.

>People actually hate NuTMNT designs
Pleb taste detected. Not saying they're superior to the 2012 show, but Jesus Christ what do you want from these people? How long can you keep redoing the same fucking idea show after show without ever mixing it up? You have 2 godly cartoons, 1 ok show, a fucking fantastic comic run that's still going on, 3 great movies, and a shit ton of god tier video games

What the hell did you WANT this show to be? It hasn't even come out and everyone fucking hates it. It's going to be Omniverse all over again, I swear

My first association is Slashuur from TMNT 2 Battle Nexus for some reason.

...

>Cenas voice is going to be coming out of this
Finally get to see a pic of the new goat boy.

>When you're born female, you pretty much have no self-respect or moral compass of any kind to start with.
FTFY

>What the hell did you WANT this show to be?

Good

Having a mutant be the main baddie is fine by me. TMNT has always had a diverse rouges gallery, but this design is crap. There's no inspiration to it
, it's just a clusterfuck of design elements. A mutant should have a clear basis (animal, element, material, function).

>That tiny lower half
Well there goes any pretense of this guy being taken seriously by the audience.

The why did he turn down Shazam?

did they check the couch cushions at the studio that makes Ben 10 and find him?

CockBlockers

Okay. Real talk, faggots.
What do people even see in Krang? I get Bebop and Rocksteady, "haha stupid comic relief villains of varying competence (mostly incompetent)" is a fine concept for TMNT stuff. Krang was always boring as hell and doesn't work as either light-hearted villain nor as more Mirage-style villain.

More complete image.

>What do people even see in Krang?
Pretty much the same thing people see in TMNT as a whole, nostalgia.

I thought that was a Ben 10 alien for a second.

Sorry, posted the smalled version.

someone skipped leg day

Ohohoho, I cannot WAIT to meme on this guy.

>How long can you keep redoing the same fucking idea show after show without ever mixing it up?

Nobody said anything about not mixing it up, but there's no point in introducing new ideas if they're mostly shit. Sure, the execution could be better than expected, but it sure doesn't sound likely.

>What the hell did you WANT this show to be?
Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles.

The FUCK is that artstyle?

I don't like how the turtles save for Raph look so effeminate.

Is anyone getting an Ultimate Doom with that bottom half or is it just me?

>Donnie's staff as a selfie stick
Fuck off

April looks like she sat on one of Raph's shell spikes and doesn't mind.

>Donnie has a a selfie stick
You know I kinda thought Mikey would have one.

>80s April
>ugly manface and shitty hair
>2003 April
>just plain ugly
>2012 April
>filthy disgusting ginger.
>2018 April
>WE WUZ
Will there ever be an attractive animated April?

>Sais replaced with Tonfa

I thought of Abe Sapien at first.

Even after this, this show still looks better than Marvel's current cartoon, if only because they actually have a concept of color, shading and lighting.

>a selfie stick

>still caring about this show after you found out about april obongo

People need to learn to smoke pot if they want true creative skills, just like the guy who made tmnt in the first place!

Why does Donatello have eyebrows on his mask?

Why does a ninja turtle have eyebrows at all?

Damn Raph is so big that he can cover all other turtles

Why has Raphael been Boomified?

What is with these ugly faces? We're entering Squirrel Girl territory!

Rumor is he has a lot of debt he needs paid off. He sold some of his expensive cars

If they make him as amusing as Boom Knuckles, all may be forgiven.

jesus lay off the steroids raph

Making the "tough guy" of the group swole/huge is the trendy thing to do right now.

Because subtlety is dead.
