(Second part of the Rotmnt live summary)
There was going to be a Battle Nexus episode parodying the 2003 version, where Splinter and Big Mama would secretly meet (love is beautiful lol).
There was also going to be an episode where Mikey learns how to drive, but then the jellyfish incident happens (I have a rough idea, check out the comic of @mkthedingus ).
Some ideas for the Krang included them being trapped underwater and emerging from the Brooklyn Bridge.
There was also a Dark Leo arc where he would get lost in one of his portals.
Facts:
Leo is the older twin.
Donnie does like hugs, but only if he’s warned first (if you surprise him, he’s like “ew, gross” lol).
They wanted April to be able to defend herself from the start and fight alongside the turtles.
Canonically, they don’t have an established birthday (or at least that’s what I understood), since ninjas don’t really have one—so any day is a good day to celebrate them 🥳
Favorite ice cream:
Mikey: a mix of everything lol
Raph: Rocky Road
Leo: pistachio or some weird flavor
Donnie: makes his own custom flavor
Donatello having eyebrows was a debated design choice, but in the end they made it something he draws himself.
(Frentooon 🗣️)
Originally, Big Mama wasn’t supposed to appear as early as episode 7 and would have had less screen time.
Executives wanted to remove characters like Cassandra or Todd (not the kid 😭), but they couldn’t.
The series wasn't designed to sell toys (because, as you know, since they weren't selling, Nick cut production time),but it was designed to increase the views lost with the ending and its failure (Only the latest episodes ) on TV of 2012 TMNT.
They chose a short 11-minute episode format. (To form groups of two and add up to approximately 24 to 25 minutes)
It was originally approved for three seasons, and there were also going to be 8 shorts (at least 5 minutes each) to introduce characters.
Sadly, those are archived at Nickelodeon and we probably won’t see them anytime soon.
While I was putting this image up, this guy's face made me laugh. They look so relaxed
Next, I'll upload the video of the storyboards for the deleted episodes :)
