The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have gotten several revamps over the years, and now Nickelodeon's latest iteration promises to give a new twist to the TMNT formula. Nick has released one whole episode online called Mystic Mayhem, and you can watch in Youtube for FREE.
I'll admit, the animation may seem a bit choppy, but the overall look is really fresh, and I love how stylistic it is. Of course, the show will have its haters, but I think that's normal for any franchise that's lasted for decades. Just ask the Star Wars fandom if anyone is ever pleased with the new material that they pump out. There's just no pleasing everyone.
No doubt, this iteration of the turtles is the most radical one yet. Besides giving the turtles all new weapons (e.g., Raf with tonfas, and Leo with only one sword), Leonardo has now taken a backseat as the leader with Raphael taking the helm of the team.
I think the show is ultimately building up to the turtles coming to form into the classic team we all know and love. Then again, that's just my guess.
