Season 2 definitely ramped up the serious tone for this show. But imma be honest, the reason this movie hits so hard for me is BECAUSE of the lighter tone of the series. Seeing how much they’ve grown and where they started. It hit harder than basically any movie to follow up a TV show I’ve ever seen and made it one of my favorite animated movies of all time.
absolutely this. i can't think of any other show that really defined that contrast so well- and honestly, i think a huge, huge portion of that is due to the fact that so many of the episodes, especially "filler" ones, emphasize and build on the connection between the turtles so you really feel for them and are invested in the relationships they have with each other. and then to go to the movie and see them ripped apart like that? well. it deals of a lot of damage, to say the least lol. and that's what makes the ending ever so much sweeter :)
"If it was like this, they wouldn't gotten a season 2." The main reason it got canceled is because fans of the old turtles bombed the show upon release. This movie was supposed to be part of the season, and season 3 was supposed to be about the Rat King. And I hear they still wanna make a rat king movie.
Nickelodeon and the neckbeard , so called “fans” of the franchise, ruined everything from day ONE. Not to mention the toys were trash, the scheduling was trash, and they still continue to keep the series “paused” and not give it to us straight. That it may never come back. Honestly, why did Nick/Viacom or whatever buy this franchise if they weren’t gonna do anything good with it?
They were gonna have a full season 2 as well, but the production got slashed. So many episodes were lost because Nick was cutting corners, because they weren't an instant cash cow, and because the old fans were not giving them a chance.
the opening of this movie gives Mikey more credit as a character than most pieces of TMNT media in the last 30 years, and for that reason alone I love this movie
Rise fans! Rise UP!!! I missed these reactions! When the trailer released that summer, my priority with that movie was to tune into Netflix that morning while having breakfast before anything else. As always with Rise, great animation, great music, PROBABLY THE MOST POWERFUL VERSION OF THE KRAANG HAVE EVER BEEN and I really wish people didn’t sleep on the show (a Season 3 feels deserved)
Does this mean you're finally reacting to season 2 of the show? Either way, this movie is awesome. Hilarious, heartfelt, and I live Leo's arc of becoming the leader.
No. they tried the first episode of season 2 and hated it so much they skipped to the end. SeeOhKnee is also specifically not in this episode because he was too busy, and they needed a movie and since Rise was just not something he ever wanted to revisit, they watched it without him. Great to see they enjoyed it though
2:52 You know, the original opening they made would have showed the base getting destroyed and a lot of the second characters of the series getting kled basically onscreen and it would have showed that hang on their walls there are Raph and Donnie shells, meaning they're gone. You can find the official deleted scene animatic on youtube, just look up for Rise movie opening deleted scene ;)
Right off the bat, I think if you told this to a rottmnt fan in like 2018 or 2019 it would sound like some insane creepypasta or something but with the Krang it's definitely possible
And to those saying "they skipped to the end blahblahblah" well, they COULD give it a second chance! If they enjoyed this, they can certainly enjoy the second season WHERE THEY SHOW THEIR MYSTIC POWERS EVEN MORE!!! Kind of illogical of them to not give it a new oportunity.
From what I see, their pretty set in their opinions, so it's unlikely they'll give it a second chance. At least not anytime soon, seeing as their release schedule is kinda full. But I would love if they gave it a second chance.
Nobody should be forced to watch something they don’t like, I definitely agree with that, but they lowkey did it kind of dirty 💀 yeah s2 started off silly but if they JUST got to the 2nd episode it would’ve fixed all of their problems, and that’s what makes me soooo upset 😭 it’s a little illogical to watch 1 episode of something and quit the whole show after watching a whole season instead of watching a few and being like “damn this kinda fell off”
Why do people hold rise to the insane standard they do? Like fuck man, other shows are allowed to have fun episodes, they're allowed to not have super serious episodes every week. This show is better written than every past version, its better animated WHY DO PEOPLE HATE IT
The scene where Krang is angerly beating the crap out of Leonardo after the technodrone was destroyed. Is made so much harsher. Thanks to a fan comic video that adds in Krang’s lines over the terrified faces of everybody else. Because Leo’s intercom is still on. It makes it so much darker.
Guys you should really finish reacting to Rise season 2. Trust me, the progression of the plot, their powers getting better and better, THE SHREDDER!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
@@nycureamy tbh it was better that way - they really didn’t enjoy it and i don’t think anyone who liked the show wanted to watch them go a whole season hating something they like it was the best decision at the end of the day
@@lorik2005 agreed I don’t wanna watch someone reacting to my favorite show just because they don’t like it (and the rise turtles are my favorite versions)
This show got totally destroyed by people blinded by nostalgia. If it wasn't the designs, it was the weapon changes. If it wasn't because of the humor, it was because of the team dynamic changes or the mystic powers (which aren't really new,.they've been around before). What people failed to see is in the title. "RISE of the tmnt". They weren't a team. They were crap at what they did. The show was about finding what made them so strong and becoming a strong family unit. Sadly it was all rushed because of the hate they got from fans. They were basically done with season 2 and had to cut out 80% or so of the episodes, and had to reshuffle some season 1 stuff to make it work. So much was lost because the "fans" cried about it being different. 2012 also got a lot of shit for it being 3d. It ended up having some of the strongest emotional stories in there. The entire point of TMNT is that there's a version for everyone! It is a confirmed multiverse! Why people ignored the animation spectacle that was Rise is beyond me. This is as good as the turtles has ever looked, having vastly different looks, personalities and for ONCE they aren't the same but colour coded. Hell, even Splinter is a great character who you learn to understand as the show goes on. But again, we lost major character moments due to Nickelodeon cutting out episodes. Thank goodness we got this movie, because it shows what they could've done if they had free reigns.
I mean to be fair, it was fall, fall further, then Rise++. Beyond nostalgia, there were clear problems with the show that even people who knew nothing of the franchise could see; above all else that most of the characters initially only had visual differences and were actively unlikable, ruining the lives of nearly everyone they came across. 4 contrasting brothers was the core of every other series, messing that up early on was crazy. I'm glad it survived to improve and give us some franchise highlights, but I'm kind of surprised it did.
@@TheArcSet There were problems, yes. But I don't see how it were worse than some of the issues in previous versions either. Rise is absolutely not everyones cup of tea, and that is fine. Characters that might seem unlikable missed out on story beats that were cut out due to the negative feedback. You can tell the show was meant to run longer, but suffered from being condensed in the way it was. I am still of the firm belief that the 80's cartoon is the weakest version, and I say this as a life long fan. It doesn't mean its bad. Just weaker. Rise is the version that had the biggest potential so far, but it never got there. At least in my humble opinion :)
I always roll my eyes at 2012 fans who critique Rise. Go back and watch 2012. It’s mediocre at best, but just boring for the most part. It’s story lines never quite hit home for me. Don’t even get me started on *April.* She is (imo) so dislikable that I had to skip any scenes with her in it. Animation wise, it’s the worst of the modern TMNT series (I understand it was 3d and experimental- but that doesn’t make the world any less displeasing to look at) That’s coming from someone who was obsessed with the show for their entire childhood. I still love the show. But it’s not the holy grail people pretend it is.
@@BucceesFan2004 Dear lord the entire April situation in 2012 is so bad. Not to mention that version of Donnie being obsessed with her... No thanks. Then again, I do not think that any Donatello is going to be as great as Rise's mad scientist version. Over all Rise has delightful versions of the brothers, April, and others. At least in my eyes
Here's what I notice about the turtles from ROTTMNT from oldest to youngest: Raphael (Age 17) is discipline, cautious, under a lot pressure, overprotective, emotionally, and makes the hardest decisions and sacrifices. But mostly being the oldest, he also tries to be the most "responsible" looking out for everyone. And given the fact he's an mutated anthropomorphic "Alligator Snapping Turtle", he manages to keep his aggression in check and is emotionally sensitive… *most* of the time. Leonardo (1st twin, Age 16) is cocky, overconfident, irresponsible, shows off and proves it poorly, and above all he is very "egotistic" who has a lot to prove. And given the fact he's an mutated anthropomorphic "Red-Eared Slider", there are a lot of his kind in the world and some of them are restricted or banned like New Jersey (which he brings up a lot) and he's probably the only one of his brothers who's part of the LGBT. Donatello (2nd twin, Age 16) is cocky, overconfident, very picky, isolated, vulnerable, uncomfortable with physical contact, very intelligent, somewhat crazy, very understanding, and above all "narcissistic" who has *too much* to prove (almost like his twin Leonardo). And given the fact he's an mutated anthropomorphic "softshell turtle", cautious around others being "nosy" (smelling something that makes him uncomfortable figuratively and literally) and very sensitive physically and mentally. But at the same time, he still tries to show a lot he has to offer. One example is how close he is towards his little brother. Michelangelo (Age 15) mostly immature, energetic, hyperactive, anxious, very creative, unhinged, emotionally unstable, friendly, been taken for granted, open-minded, and above all else someone who "doesn't like being looked down on" who has a lot to show for it. And given the fact he's an mutated anthropomorphic "Ornate Box Turtle", He's too trusting. He's probably the only turtle who can't swim. And since he cares about being part of a happy family, he probably does everything he can to keep everyone together and positive, and has more potential than even *he* realizes.
I heard good things about this adaptation to TMNT a while back and when I watched the series and the movie, I was really impressed. Can’t believe I slept on this adaptation of TMNT because when it comes to the amazing animation of the action, it delivers!
the thing I always have to point out is in the opening scene, we only see Leo and Mikey, and there are two ribbons, purple and red, on Leo's sword. the implication is that Donnie and Raph died first. in one of the last scenes, where Mikey is opening the portal, it seems like history is about to repeat himself and he's about to die from the force of it. but then, Donnie and raph, the two brothers who aren't there in the opening scene, put their hands on his shoulders, and Mikey is able to survive. right down to the final wink Mikey makes, these two scenes parallel each other splendidly.
I love that movie. After watching it, it was freaking awesome! It was insane with the crazy actions and emotional moments. Leo even sacrificed himself to save the world. Turtle power! 🐢🐢🐢😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥
YESSS I'M SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THIS!!!!!! I was so worried you wouldn't watch the movie since you weren't vibing with Season 2.. I hope you guys enjoyed this movie!
- Krang 1 is voiced by Jim Pirri who also voices Alador (The Owl House), Vandal Savage & Count Vertigo (Suicide Squad Hell to Pay), Mr. Freeze (Injustice), Sal (Batman The Longest Halloween), & many more - Krang 2 is voiced by Toks Olagundoye who also voices Mrs. Beakley (DuckTales -2017), Nanefua & Cluster (Steven Universe), Cat Grant (Superman animated movies), Cleo & others (Carmen Sandiego - 2019), Devana (Vox Machina), Lucinda, Rosalie, & Owls (Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight), JaKyee (Guardians of the Galaxy), & many more - The college Eastlaird University is named after the TMNT creators Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird - They were originally make Armaggon into an antagonist in this movie as kind of a herald to the Kang - Notice the Earth Protection Force there is a man in black that looks exactly like Agent Bishop - When Donnie is saying “I am … a spaceship !” There is a reference shot to the film “Akira” when Tetsuo gets mutated while when Mikey was forming a time gateway in the start is a reference to Piccolo in Dragin Ball’s opening “Cha-La Head-Cha-La” - Speaking of Future Mikey being able to open a time gateway reminds me of another TMNT character that travels through time that being Renet
I wish Nickelodeon didn't sabotage this show so much when it came out. Would’ve been much better without them interfering so much. I hope they do react to season 2
The movie takes place after the 2nd season of the show, so if I were you, I'd watch the 2nd season, then rewatch the movie again just so you understand more of the stuff that happens. This movie has the best version of Krang in my opinion. I love how ruthless and powerful they made him, even without the suit! Also, it's blurred out, but in one of the pictures on April's phone at the end, Cassandra is flipping off the Krang!
I dont think the downfall of Rise was that it was too comedic or anything. As you said, companies will make it as long as people watch. Problem is- Nick kiiiind of sabataged the show by putting it in timeslots where none of the target audiece would watch, didnt put it online, and then sent it to another one of their channels to rot. The moment Nick saw backlash from the fans that "Raph was the leader; Leo is too goody; Everyone is a Mikey; The artstyle was ugly" whatever whatever whatever- Nick seems to have chickened out. I remeber seeing Rise's first episode here. On youtube. That was either a last ditch effort, or a sign of what was to come. Either way, Nick did nothing to support the show after its first season, and the only reason the movie happened was because it was a signed deal with Netflix they couldn't back out from. I beg of you to please watch season 2. You saw only glimpses of the story it actually tells. While the movie is the most serious tone we've gotten, the second season shows the heart of the show. Season 1 is awesome, and you get to learn the characters, setting and action a lot. But in season 2 you get more story, more heartfelt emotion and generally even the filler episode go to support the message of the show really strongly. Please do not underestimate the shows tone. It is full of love, both from the characters, and the people involved who were so passionate, they wanted to make this work despite budget constraints.
This. This comment right here. That's exactly the sentiment of the fandom as a whole. If reactors just... drop this show just "because", I feel like they're no better than the companies who do this on the daily.
(At 4:17) I'm surprised y'all haven't watched the 2nd season yet. Especially, considering the 2018 turtles got their "old weapons" back. Even Donatello's not using his titanium bō staff anymore, He's using his old one with the bandage on the center.
The pizza stack does count because the pizza slice is still inside the pidgeon and the pidgeon is still on the boxes stack. So really it should be 125 Boxes + pidgeon
(At 11:25) these Kraang are more… homicidal than the one's from 1987, 2012, and 2016 (Michael Bay sequel). The red one from 2003 ( going by The Shredder) seem to be the closest to this.
This show is incredibly underrated and it seems like most of the TMNT fandom hates it for some reason. And I literally have no idea why it's a phenomenal show.
As a fan of TMNT since 2003, 2012, Rise of the tmnt and Mutant Mayhem, Rise is still my favorite version of the turtles so far. The animation, the characterization, the development, the softer tone, the mix of action, comedy and subtle drama, and the close-knit family dynamic that remind me so much of One Piece's crew. As the serie is still paused, and the movie sets a basis for a season 3, I hope we can get more seasons and hopefully a movie sequel too! ❤💙💜🧡💛💚🖤🤍🐢
even though you're not going to watch the second season, and I completely understand why. I am happy you watched the movie. I am very satisfied. god the animation in this film is so good. Watched this with my dad, and he could not believe it wasn't rated more maturely. also as a Raph fan, this movie fed me so much, when he protected Leo, hi getting Kranfified, augh so good Also yes, the 2007 movie! that was my childhood, I adore it till this day!
So glad you guys like it! It's an absolute fav of mine. Hope you guys might consider doing season 2 as well, because if you liked this you will love their battle against the Shredder! Would definitely watch all of that!
When Donnie hit Krang 1 with that energy drill, did anyone else think that that was a callback to TMNT (2003), when Donatello was sent to a future where Utrom(Krang) Shredder conquered the Earth? (Spoiler Alert) His brothers all died in the final confrontation, but Donnie managed to stop him once and for all by running his body through with a giant drill.
In case you missed it there's an animatic online of the climax fight with Kraang that has a lot more Donnie! If it felt like the other turtles got more of a spotlight than him then I suggest checking it out.
Really REALLY glad you guys finally reacted to this hopefully that means youll watch season 2 soon and for some clarification that dimension is not Dimension-X due to how there it shows nothing but darkness and decaying
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The last few episodes of season 2 were kinda like this but not quite. The whole out of order thing really screwed the show over, understandable to skip season 2. But, if you DO wanna watch more, there’s always the option of just watching the long episodes, those are all the main story ones. …Unless you already did that
AHHH this is awesome. Ian think reaction to this movie was happening. Roll call for all the SS Billys on Patreon. Who was all there live when we got the news they wasn’t finishing the show when they initially reacted to it. 😭😭😭 ngl I thought it was gon happen wayy earlier in the show n that woulda been fine (still is) but it was the fact they made it till the end and stopped RIGHT AT the best cannon episodes that made it worth watching the show in the first place. 🤣🤣🤣 dawg the pain I felt.
YES YES YES YES YES YES I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO IT, LIKE I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM, I LOVE RISE OF THE TMNT AND I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE GIVE IT AN OPPORTUNITY #SAVEROTTMNT
If you guys like this way more than the rest of the show, you should check out LEGO Monkie Kid! Starting at Season 2, the show has all the positives and none of the negatives. The voice acting, animation, plot, powers, characters, voice acting, choreography, and music are all unbelievably hype, it's definitely worth a watch.
Finally, I get to talk about this movie online! At one end, since the show got canned it's good the can see the potential of this version of the turtles, it got good stuff like Casey jr (who isn't the original Casey, Cassandra is) but it felt rushed, and it needed more time (I know they did the best they could)
My thoughts exactly, dude. I'll even go broke if it means they'll react to the full season 2. It's like... 14 episodes, they can certainly do that!!!!!
Thank you fellas for watching rise of TMNT movie. I hope Nickelodeon continues the series. BTW PANTY AND STOCKING SEASON 2 COMING SOON. Please watch I would love to know ur opinion.
Fun fact, if you freeze the frames where Leo is getting beaten up, youll see him spitting blood
That fact isn’t fun at all 😭
The animators are absolutely goated for this, not that they weren't already
Where is the fun in this fact.
The angst is the fun part, and I’m here for it (I love Leo lmao)

Michelangelo (Age 15) mostly immature, energetic, hyperactive, anxious, very creative, unhinged, emotionally unstable, friendly, been taken for granted, open-minded, and above all else someone who "doesn't like being looked down on" who has a lot to show for it. And given the fact he's an mutated anthropomorphic "Ornate Box Turtle", He's too trusting. He's probably the only turtle who can't swim. And since he cares about being part of a happy family, he probably does everything he can to keep everyone together and positive, and has more potential than even *he* realizes.
Wait Leo is Gay?
@@l.aliban5122 maybe? *most* red-eared sliders are. Just like swans.
@@Samgreen90 ahhhh ok
BTW, the book that April throws into the face of the female Krang is titled 'So... You're Running out of Ideas' by E. Piphany
I heard good things about this adaptation to TMNT a while back and when I watched the series and the movie, I was really impressed. Can’t believe I slept on this adaptation of TMNT because when it comes to the amazing animation of the action, it delivers!
the thing I always have to point out is in the opening scene, we only see Leo and Mikey, and there are two ribbons, purple and red, on Leo's sword. the implication is that Donnie and Raph died first.
in one of the last scenes, where Mikey is opening the portal, it seems like history is about to repeat himself and he's about to die from the force of it. but then, Donnie and raph, the two brothers who aren't there in the opening scene, put their hands on his shoulders, and Mikey is able to survive. right down to the final wink Mikey makes, these two scenes parallel each other splendidly.
I also wanted to see their reaction from hearing Kraang screaming "WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!"
I love that movie. After watching it, it was freaking awesome! It was insane with the crazy actions and emotional moments. Leo even sacrificed himself to save the world. Turtle power!
🐢🐢🐢😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥
FRICKING FINALLY
THIS MOVIE RULES
YESSS I'M SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THIS!!!!!! I was so worried you wouldn't watch the movie since you weren't vibing with Season 2.. I hope you guys enjoyed this movie!
- Krang 1 is voiced by Jim Pirri who also voices Alador (The Owl House), Vandal Savage & Count Vertigo (Suicide Squad Hell to Pay), Mr. Freeze (Injustice), Sal (Batman The Longest Halloween), & many more
- Krang 2 is voiced by Toks Olagundoye who also voices Mrs. Beakley (DuckTales -2017), Nanefua & Cluster (Steven Universe), Cat Grant (Superman animated movies), Cleo & others (Carmen Sandiego - 2019), Devana (Vox Machina), Lucinda, Rosalie, & Owls (Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight), JaKyee (Guardians of the Galaxy), & many more
- The college Eastlaird University is named after the TMNT creators Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird
- They were originally make Armaggon into an antagonist in this movie as kind of a herald to the Kang
- Notice the Earth Protection Force there is a man in black that looks exactly like Agent Bishop
- When Donnie is saying “I am … a spaceship !” There is a reference shot to the film “Akira” when Tetsuo gets mutated while when Mikey was forming a time gateway in the start is a reference to Piccolo in Dragin Ball’s opening “Cha-La Head-Cha-La”
- Speaking of Future Mikey being able to open a time gateway reminds me of another TMNT character that travels through time that being Renet
I wish Nickelodeon didn't sabotage this show so much when it came out. Would’ve been much better without them interfering so much. I hope they do react to season 2
The movie takes place after the 2nd season of the show, so if I were you, I'd watch the 2nd season, then rewatch the movie again just so you understand more of the stuff that happens.
This movie has the best version of Krang in my opinion. I love how ruthless and powerful they made him, even without the suit!
Also, it's blurred out, but in one of the pictures on April's phone at the end, Cassandra is flipping off the Krang!
(At 22:51) This is another trait that alligator snapping turtles have: look at Raphael's tongue and ask yourself "Does that look like a worm?"
I dont think the downfall of Rise was that it was too comedic or anything. As you said, companies will make it as long as people watch. Problem is- Nick kiiiind of sabataged the show by putting it in timeslots where none of the target audiece would watch, didnt put it online, and then sent it to another one of their channels to rot. The moment Nick saw backlash from the fans that "Raph was the leader; Leo is too goody; Everyone is a Mikey; The artstyle was ugly" whatever whatever whatever- Nick seems to have chickened out.
I remeber seeing Rise's first episode here. On youtube. That was either a last ditch effort, or a sign of what was to come. Either way, Nick did nothing to support the show after its first season, and the only reason the movie happened was because it was a signed deal with Netflix they couldn't back out from.
I beg of you to please watch season 2. You saw only glimpses of the story it actually tells. While the movie is the most serious tone we've gotten, the second season shows the heart of the show. Season 1 is awesome, and you get to learn the characters, setting and action a lot. But in season 2 you get more story, more heartfelt emotion and generally even the filler episode go to support the message of the show really strongly.
Please do not underestimate the shows tone. It is full of love, both from the characters, and the people involved who were so passionate, they wanted to make this work despite budget constraints.
This. This comment right here. That's exactly the sentiment of the fandom as a whole. If reactors just... drop this show just "because", I feel like they're no better than the companies who do this on the daily.
Now you cant ignore the fans!!!! YOU MUST WATCH RISE SEASON 2 IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
1:32 is that APRIL is she really DEAD
And if you look to the other side Big Mama is also there
The best line for me is when the krang says, " and now my wrath is reserved for you alone"
The thing about Rise is: all the low-stakes goofy hijinks are there to balance out the times it goes HARDER THAN ANYTHING THAT'S EVER BEEN
(At 29:15) did y'all skip the part where Michelangelo disorientates the Kraang long enough for Raphael to try to hit him before he gets his bearings?
So happy to see both a reaction to this, and the setup from the Brave video make a comeback.
It truly saddens me how little of a chance people give this show
Hey man is the world we live in
(At 4:17) I'm surprised y'all haven't watched the 2nd season yet. Especially, considering the 2018 turtles got their "old weapons" back. Even Donatello's not using his titanium bō staff anymore, He's using his old one with the bandage on the center.
I love these in person reactions! It's so much fun!
The pizza stack does count because the pizza slice is still inside the pidgeon and the pidgeon is still on the boxes stack. So really it should be 125 Boxes + pidgeon
The fact you called the hamato clan symbol (pizza slices) is sending me 💀
It’s sad that this is the tone that they wanted from the start but Nick didn’t let em
(At 8:40 - 13:28 - 20:53)
It was at THESE moments, he realized… he fucked up!
(At 11:25) these Kraang are more… homicidal than the one's from 1987, 2012, and 2016 (Michael Bay sequel). The red one from 2003 ( going by The Shredder) seem to be the closest to this.
THIS THIS THIS THIS YESSSSS
THIS IS WHAT THE CREATORS WANTED FOR THE FUTURE OF RISE!!!
The animation in this was so smooth!
P.S. Batman vs TMNT is another fun little movie I'd recommend
i wish you guys watched season 2 first as it makes much more context to this movie as it takes place after it.
they just heavily disliked the show; they reacted to the first episode of season 2, and hated it so much they skipped to the finale.
@@andalilbitqueer man I’m guessing they’re one of those fans (like “oh man, you’re one of those guys”😑)
At the start of the movie you can see Raph and Donnies masks wrapped around the hilt of future Leos sword. They are somewhat braided on it :)
This show is incredibly underrated and it seems like most of the TMNT fandom hates it for some reason. And I literally have no idea why it's a phenomenal show.
(At 10:15) Oh damn! It's the voice of Alador Blight from TOH (The Owl House)… "Jim Pirri"!
(At 12:19) Don't worry, it won't be like how 2012 Splinter went down… twice.
As a fan of TMNT since 2003, 2012, Rise of the tmnt and Mutant Mayhem, Rise is still my favorite version of the turtles so far.
The animation, the characterization, the development, the softer tone, the mix of action, comedy and subtle drama, and the close-knit family dynamic that remind me so much of One Piece's crew.
As the serie is still paused, and the movie sets a basis for a season 3, I hope we can get more seasons and hopefully a movie sequel too! ❤💙💜🧡💛💚🖤🤍🐢
6:16 BRO THAT IS NOT A PIZZA 😭 IT'S THE FLIPPING HAMOTO CLAN SYBLE THINGY MAGIGY 😩
The fact you guys made that the poster shot is hilarious.
Still sad about season 2 but I'm glad you guys are watching the movie
I do like the old nerdy Kraang. But I am so here for John Carpenter mountains of flesh and tentacles.
even though you're not going to watch the second season, and I completely understand why. I am happy you watched the movie. I am very satisfied.
god the animation in this film is so good. Watched this with my dad, and he could not believe it wasn't rated more maturely.
also as a Raph fan, this movie fed me so much, when he protected Leo, hi getting Kranfified, augh so good
Also yes, the 2007 movie! that was my childhood, I adore it till this day!
So glad you guys like it! It's an absolute fav of mine. Hope you guys might consider doing season 2 as well, because if you liked this you will love their battle against the Shredder! Would definitely watch all of that!
(At 13:25) he stopped the invasion… for now. But look what it cost him.
When Donnie hit Krang 1 with that energy drill, did anyone else think that that was a callback to TMNT (2003), when Donatello was sent to a future where Utrom(Krang) Shredder conquered the Earth?
(Spoiler Alert)
His brothers all died in the final confrontation, but Donnie managed to stop him once and for all by running his body through with a giant drill.
In case you missed it there's an animatic online of the climax fight with Kraang that has a lot more Donnie! If it felt like the other turtles got more of a spotlight than him then I suggest checking it out.
Where?
Really REALLY glad you guys finally reacted to this hopefully that means youll watch season 2 soon and for some clarification that dimension is not Dimension-X due to how there it shows nothing but darkness and decaying
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The last few episodes of season 2 were kinda like this but not quite. The whole out of order thing really screwed the show over, understandable to skip season 2. But, if you DO wanna watch more, there’s always the option of just watching the long episodes, those are all the main story ones.
…Unless you already did that
Apparently they jumped right to the end???? On patreon?????? They could at least release those episodes here.
@@LeeDrax01 oh… hm.
AHHH this is awesome. Ian think reaction to this movie was happening.
Roll call for all the SS Billys on Patreon. Who was all there live when we got the news they wasn’t finishing the show when they initially reacted to it. 😭😭😭 ngl I thought it was gon happen wayy earlier in the show n that woulda been fine (still is) but it was the fact they made it till the end and stopped RIGHT AT the best cannon episodes that made it worth watching the show in the first place. 🤣🤣🤣 dawg the pain I felt.
Did anyone else notice that Future Master Leo's right arm is obviously based after Raph, and thats the arm he used to throw Casey through the portal
You guys should absolutely react to The Adventures of Tintin (2011). it's so underrated and absolutely worth your time. You lot will love it
I cried when Donnie was like “what a town”
WE LIVE TO SERVE
You serve us whether YOU LIVE OR NOT
One of the best badass lines
I'M SO GLAD YALL WATCHED IT
FINALLLY!!!!! YA’LL DROPPED OFF RIGHT AT THE PEAK MOMENT AND WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS MOVIE REACTION
That line from future master micky gets me ever time "It'll take everything i have..."
I LOVE IT WHENEVER SOMEOME REACTS TO THIS MOVIE ITS SO BRUCE ALONG THE SERIES 😭✨️✨️✨️
YES YES YES YES YES YES I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO IT, LIKE I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM, I LOVE RISE OF THE TMNT AND I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE GIVE IT AN OPPORTUNITY
#SAVEROTTMNT
If you guys like this way more than the rest of the show, you should check out LEGO Monkie Kid!
Starting at Season 2, the show has all the positives and none of the negatives. The voice acting, animation, plot, powers, characters, voice acting, choreography, and music are all unbelievably hype, it's definitely worth a watch.
Finally, I get to talk about this movie online! At one end, since the show got canned it's good the can see the potential of this version of the turtles, it got good stuff like Casey jr (who isn't the original Casey, Cassandra is) but it felt rushed, and it needed more time (I know they did the best they could)
Always great to see ANYONE talking about Rise
Your reaction to this movie was fantastic I can't wait to watch more with you guys😊
YES LETS GOOOOOOOOOO does that mean youre gonna watch the second season?????? Please dudes you gotta watch the second season!!! I'll even pay you!!!!!
My thoughts exactly, dude. I'll even go broke if it means they'll react to the full season 2. It's like... 14 episodes, they can certainly do that!!!!!
💳💳💳💳 you heard the people, guys. Name your price. A full release of Rise season 2, all 14 episodes, and I’m paying y’all’s salary.
NO WAY!!!!?!????
RIGHT??? I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS.. LETS GOOOOOOOO
They made the goofy stomach brain aliens somehow into really awesome villains
The literal yelp I let out when I saw this notif. YES PLEASE MORE EYES ON THIS MOVIE THANK YOU
14:03 imo they went a liiiiitle overboard on that
29:52 did you see leo cough up blood tho lol

It's what we've all been asking for ages!!!!
Heck of a movie.
Love the reaction this movie was awesome and if you want to watch more Tmnt you should react to the 2003 Tmnt series I think you guys would love it 💗🐢
