Guys why am I starting to see "save tmnt 2012" comments under Tiktoks about Tales 😭 I can understand Save Rottmnt to a degree but SAVE 2012?? WHAT.
The Key Difference is that 2012 ran ALL their the intended arcs
They got their rat king arc, the space arc, the main vs shredder storyline, the crossover with 87, crossover with usagi, etc
Rise instead has MANY ARCS planned and episodes that got left hard paused:
The turtle tots episode, the rat king arc, Renet, the wedding crashers episode, the musical episode, the Christmas special, the second Donnie and April tag team episode, the Leo and Draxum episode, the brains and brawn episode, the Kraang lore, the hidden city in Japan, the lost siblings arc, the characters’ development, the crossover with usagi/samurai rabbit , the giant triceratons, etc.
Thing is… Rise fans DO have very good reasons to fight for their show, but are calling for BOTH Tales of the tmnt and Rise to coexist, or are willing to compromise for a Rise comic book continuation while supporting Tales for more seasons 💚
Which is waaaay healthier than what the 2012 fandom ever did, who instead went and bullied, belittled, review-bombed, and insulted the newer iteration despite having their arcs done and over with as the creators intended them to be
I can understand missing an old iteration, like I do with 2003, but I’m not out there crying to get it back because I know it ran its intended course (and even suffered seasonal rot), same thing with 2012. It ran its course and that was it.
Rise instead got paused, and Tales is also under fire by the older fans, mainly 87, mirage and 2012 😩
Even now several of them 2012 are out there shitting on Tales as well 😣😣😣 It’s like they’re the cowaboomers 2.0
