    What? Dude, by all means. Stop Spamming. It's not gonna be a thing cause Ninja Turtles is owned by Nick. Hasbro has no interest in this.

    You need to do something outside of Spamming nonsense.

    I finally finished the show. I stretched season 5 out because this has been the first piece of Turtles media to really resonate with me. As a kid I had the original live action film on VHS, but I couldn't stand the idiocy of the cartoon. There's idiocy on display here, as well, but it tends to be more my sense of humor. The episodes that it ended on were pretty solid, but didn't quite reach the level of a great finale. (Where was Mona Lisa?) Season 5 in general feels like an addendum to Season 4 (which feels much more like a finale). This provides a few one-off arcs (Mutant Apocalypse/80s TMNT team up) which could either serve as an ending. The rest (Resurrecting Shredder/Lord Dregg/Renet) all felt like a "one last time" thing with core elements of the show. I'd love to see some kind of final special eventually. Something that gave us a better sense of where everyone was going with their lives.

    This show managed to do what the two previous incarnations hadn't for me. As such, it's definitely one of my top 10 American cartoons, and I'm sad to see it go.
    On to Rise, I suppose.

    How do you know they don't? I might have said something similar about Power Rangers.

    I'm sure Hasbro would be interested if it was up for sale. But it isn't.

    Rise is a little strange, but I like it. Just don't go in expecting 2012 storytelling and tone, because it's much lighter and sillier, generally more episodic (but it has it's moments).

    I watched the first few eps an I dig them. They're heavier on comedy, but that's honestly fine. The jokes work and the dynamic action is fun to look at. Cena is a little flat as Baron Draxom, but it's alright so far.

    Yeah I too watched the whole series several months back.

    Honestly, while I really like the 2003 series. I liked this one more. It had more heart, if you ask me.

    The humor was great, the voice acting was top notch, the animation was pretty good, and it could be brutal when it had to be.

    Splinter was awesome too. I was never bored with this series. Loved its pop culture references.
