Usagi Yojimbo is not part of the TMNT property it is from a completely separate comic (it's why in the 80's show he came from a different dimension) ... but good news a Netflix show is coming of it.

Really!? Did not know that and I swear I was introduced to him through them smh

A lot of us were. Stan Sakai collaborated with Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird for an Usagi/Turtles crossover when he was a bigger deal than they were. Being grateful to Stan, when Turtles hit big, they got Usagi into the toyline and cartoon to hook him up with merch money. Most of us were kids back then and discovered him that way.

Andy Suriano, creator of Rise of the TMNT, has posted a eulogy for his show

Said it on Twitter and it still stands, this is going to be the show in recent memory that people will regret not giving a chance too.

From what I saw of Rise it wasnt bad, but the series it came after was so good and so beloved that it was an uphill battle from the get go... especially so soon after the 2012 series.

Now admittedly, in recent adaptations (including the comics) it to me is the weakest of the recent TMNT media, but it wasnt bad.


Speaking of new shows, I think adapting the IDW comic would be a good show

After I mentioned it, now I REALLY want an adaptation of urban legends

Maybe not a straight adaptation. It's kinda dour at times and there are some parts that haven't aged well. But yeah, there's a lot of stuff from the TMNT's Image/Urban Legends run that I'd love to see show up in the broader Turtles Mythos. Pimiko, Go-Komodo, Lady Shredder, Cyborg Donatello, Shadow Jones and her parentage. All stuff that's barely been touched outside the Image run that I think has a lot of potential to get great stories from.

As long as the broad strokes are there:
- Maybe not fullout scarred , but something prompts Raph to become Shredder
- Leo losing his hand for sure has to be there
- Mikey the writer too!
- Cyber Don is a given

I have to wonder if Rise would have done better if they didn't change the designs of the turtles so much.

Mayhaps an adaptation of the TMNT 2K3 episode SAINW with Cyber Don and Handless Leo and Raph as The Shredder? All prompted by Michelangelo "disappearing"?

Yes, season three of the 2003 series, "Same As It Never Was". Why does this surprise you?

But the episode really had more in common with Gargoyles' "Past Tense" then anything from Urban Legends.

I read on the Technodrome forums that the Rise team had intended to do a modern take on the Fred Wolf episode "Adventures In Turtlesitting" with Mikey looking after infant versions of Leo, Don and Raph

I don't think it was the designs half as much as it was the random "Raph is the leader, Leonardo is the prankster" thing they pulled. That's just reinventing the wheel.

Grab a slice of pizza because the heroes in a half shell are coming back out of the sewers in 2023.

The CG-animated reboot of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” from producer Seth Rogen and Nickelodeon is heading to theaters on Aug. 11, 2023, Rogen announced on Twitter.

Also producing from Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures production banner are co-founder Evan Goldberg and president James Weaver. Brendan O’Brien will write the reboot. He previously co-wrote the scripts for the comedies “Neighbors” and “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” both of which Rogen starred in and produced with Goldberg and Weaver. Jeff Rowe, who co-directed and wrote the recent Netflix animated movie “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” will helm the film. Paramount is handling the global distribution for the reboot.

On Twitter, Rogen announced that the film’s release date, along with what appears to be a page from a young Leonardo’s science notebook. The page makes jokes and references about his brothers and “TMNT” teammates Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello and their friend April O’Neil, their friend and reporter who has appeared in nearly every iteration of the franchise. There’s also a drawing of Leonardo’s iconic sword (complete with fiery doodles of the words “honor” and “loyalty”) and details about genetic mutations.


The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise got its start as a comic book in 1984 and spread to several animated TV series, a live-action film franchise in the ’90s and a Michael Bay-produced reboot series in the 2010s. The films have grossed more than $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office.

...OK, it appears we're now getting TWO TMNT movies...and this one will be produced by Michael Bay.

Coming off an Emmy nomination for his work as a writer on Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost is continuing to build out his film slate and looks to have landed a big IP to give his own spin to. Sources tell Deadline that Jost and his brother Casey Jost have been tapped to co-write a new untitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film for Paramount Pictures.

Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Scott Mednick and Galen Walker are on as producers.

Like the past two installments, plot details are being kept under wraps outside of the film revolving around everyone’s favorite pizza-eating, nunchuck-swinging, life-sized turtles. Paramount relaunched the franchise with Bay’s Platinum Dunes in 2014 with a new spin different from the New Line pics from the 1990s. The film went on to gross $485 million globally with a sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, bowing in 2016.

Paramount still sees the IP as a high priority at the studio especially after Nickelodeon announced it was relaunching the animated movie with Seth Rogen exec producing for 2023.

As for Colin Jost, while he has been known as one of the key writers on Saturday Night Live since joining in 2005, this marks the first time he will be able to give his vision on a huge franchise as widely known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is also co-writing Worst Man for Universal, which he will also star in along with his SNL co-star Pete Davidson. He recently starred in Tom & Jerry and will be back for SNL this season. His memoir A Very Punchable Face was published in July 2020 and released in paperback last month.

I'm sure Colin's wife will tell him to get it ironclad that this will only be released in theatres

Those who don't learn from the past...keep giving Michael Bay jobs.

[Lizuka #BLM]

When three of the last four movies and the last show flopped I don't really understand why this franchise needs to keep on with continually pumping out installments instead of taking a break for a bit.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

I want Bay to make them aliens this time just for the sheer awfulness potential to be at maximum level.

Because its an IP that has a recognizable name. Better to keep milking it than to try something new.

Because regardless of quality of adaptations it moves a shit ton of Merch.
