Anyway, I had my first 2018 dream last night. I probably will do a fic once more episodes get under way. I'm waiting for more episodes before I start writing fics. Also I have, like, four fics for 2012 and 2003 that I need to finish or continue chapters on. Plus one for Darktober.
The fact that many fans are STILL WHINING about the specific changes in Rise means that we have a while to go before the 2018 fandom and the 2018 series becomes comfortable enough beyond the initial "THIS IS WEIRD AND OUTSIDE THE BOX AND EITHER TOO BIZARRE OR SURPRISINGLY FANTASTIC" reactions. I think both of these thoughts and totally accept the show. My very first reaction was "Whoa, damn, that is really really different and weird" and once I saw the action I fell in love with with the characters and the animations, although sometimes my epilepsy isn't so fond, but that's nobody's fault. I decided that it was too extraordinary not to turn away from.. I quickly got over the initial WTF of Splinter’s design once I reasoned that he was too much like Uncle Iroh from Avatar The Last Airbender if Iroh was selfish and dismissive because he never got over his Tragic Traumatic Past. He'd probably become a resentful slacking neglectful surprise parent who had no idea what he was doing with a bunch of kids and his kids probably grew up knowing of his trauma and not wanting to bug him much. But I believe he loved them completely while raising them into their teens. He most likely used their colors as nicknames, you know, Purple, Baby Blue - hell, there were already headcanons about nicknames like Little Blue, Little Red, Little Purple, Little Orange. It would seem they were confirmed. Also Leo is actually his favorite, and with Stage Three Leo had been trying dissuade Splinter by denying it. I had originally scolded Splinter for his color nicknames him just not paying attention, but I really think there epic reasons for everything Ratdad does in Rise. We will find out, slowly, probably in two parter episodes, as the series goes on. And speaking of that, fears about the Teen Titans Go influence are, well, wrong. Rise Of The TMNT is actually better than TTG, because of the character interaction, and the general storylines being mysterious enough. The design is a lot nicer, too. I watch TTG for the quotes, kinda a hate watch, because I use it for autistic echolalia and scripting, and ADHD husband and I will talk like Starfire at each other. Point is, I don't loathe TTG but I don't love it, and with that opi I say that TMNT 2018 is far more awesome.
We haven't even gotten to a cohesive storyline yet. My husband even wondered if it was just slices of life without an overall plot while watching Repo Mantis and Shell In A Cell. And he knows how much I hyperfixate on TMNT, he's been my resource for my fanfiction where I need to severely injure someone, describe quantum physics, discuss art history, and create visual art (he's a fucking mensch and jack of all trades, it's scary). Like, even though I'm writing two urban fantasy novels with autistic main characters, every time I bounce into the living room and start with "Hey so what would happen if" he grins and says "Is it for the Turtles?" and then I pout sweetly.
So far, we have ideas for overall plots: Splinter and his past and how he became his current character, which would include how he raised the boys. How Baron Draxum is how he is plus the birth of mosquitoes. How the boys met April. How they agreed on big brother Raph being default interm leader as Leo obviously was not ready yet and won't be til the second season. We already saw why they don't have their signature weapons. It's a good reason, seeing those weapons destroyed and finding magic ones and being too excited about those new ones. Besides, Raph can do just as much havoc wreaking with tonfa he could with sai - He has spikes, and his squishy desire to be protective is more suitable for smashing than stabbing, for once in the franchise his anger is controlled. Leo is fabulous with that odachi and excuse you have you seen how quietly sarcastic and snarky the past Leo versions have been, he's just letting it out while he can along with being the clever intuitive strategist we all know. Mikey can have more fun ramp up his supernaturally athletic prowess with his mystic whip that unleashes a fuckin fire spirit that I hope becomes his kitty friend, plus his goofball side is tempered by both his brothers sharing his hammy flamboyance and his soft sensitive, naive yet wise, ADHD with obvious RSD, and silly adorable sweet artistic creativity that he will obviously put into his weapon use. Donnie having his incredible beautiful tech bo and eventually getting that magic staff we saw in promos is truly epic and now I bet my husband will build his own tech bo, plus Don probably knows a ton of science that he could teach his excited brothers especially empathic Mikey.
(Holy run on sentences, Batman)
What I am getting at is that there is so much to explore and look forward to.
We're not there yet. The audiences of excited children need to first be appeased by silly hijinks and sweet adventures before we get to the meat and probably angst. Then we can get deep and deeper into actual hard-core plots.
So chill out, angry people. It's twelve minutes that you could ignore if you really want. The rest of the fandom will tell you when it gets better.
