#ROTTMNT really doesn’t phase me much since I grew up with 212

Depends how you define what “scary” is. You can look at Seasons 3 villains of 2012 since the start of the season, the enemies were pretty horrific and nightmare fuel. Or all kinds of bugs in the show.

Or the scary being how intimidating or threatening the villains are. Krang ROTTMNT is quite scary if that the definition your going for.

It sure as hell isn't a contest but I'd they were competing over scariest enemies than tbe Rise turtles would win hands down and their prize would be multiple sets of older turtles being overprotective. 2012 however would have to deal with trauma that's 1000% designed to hit them in a more personal level what with Leo's coma, April killing Donnie, the entire Space Arc, Mikey being trapped in Dimensikn X for ninth possibly years, the mess with watching SPLINTER DIE, watching Splinter die a SECIND TIME, THE ENTIRE MESS WITH THE RAT KING... just to name a few

Honestly I have to disagree because like. 2012 has some pretty horrific villains when you think about it, rottmnt doesn't even compare in terms of how dangerous and violent they are. rottmnt definitely has some villains who would kill the turtles w/o hesitation, but the show is almost never played straight so the characters aren't as brutal or threatening. 2012 was intentionally going for a darker tone with its villains so we would actually be worried when, say, Splinter faced off with Rat King of Tiger Claw because it was possible he would actually die.

And that's not like a criticism or anything. I appreciate what both shows do and I can't even say I have a favorite because it depends on my mood. But 2012 definitely has the more threatening villain line up with Shredder, Tiger Claw, Rahzar, Fish Face, Bebop and Rocksteady alone because they would absolutely kill these teenagers if they could. Of course rottmnt's Kraang are scary in their own right, but we didn't get introduced to them until the movie, so I don't think they out weigh 2012 on their own.
