Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American 2D-animated television series based on the fictional superhero team the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It is yet another reboot of the franchise, launching on July 20th, 2018.

Plot
Deep in the sewers of NYC, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo are four mutant turtle brothers in their early teens who take on new adventures where they end up "tapping into mystic ninja powers they never knew existed", while 'learning' (training) to work together as a team and navigate the perils of the modern age and hidden realms in order to fulfill their destiny to become the world's most fearsome fighting team.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Great, fluid animation with fast paced and well animated action scenes.
 * 2) It brings some fresh new changes to the formula, such as the Turtles being different species and April's design taking some cues from the original Mirage Comics.
 * 3) The storyline, while simple, gets more interesting as the show goes on.
 * 4) Brand new weapons for the Turtles, which is a great addition that spices things up a bit.
 * 5) The updated theme song is fantastic, rivaling the 2012 CGI incarnation in pure musical amazement.
 * 6) While the show isn't as serious as the last incarnation, it serves as a nice pallet cleanser with a lighter tone, quick-fun action scenes, and neon colors.
 * 7) Clever writing with numerous pieces of funny dialogue.
 * 8) Baron Draxum is an entertaining villian with John Cena giving a great performance, and the main antagonist isn't Shredder which is a creative plus (though this is intentional as this is a spiritual prequel focusing on a less experienced version of the team before all the typical friends and foes of the TMNT come in)

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The new designs, taking possible inspiration from the Michael Bay duology, take some time to get used to.
 * 2) The team changes might throw off some fans, this time the hotheaded, muscular Raphael is now the leader instead of Leonardo, who has became the 'self-proclaimed coolest' brother.
 * 3) The Turtles don't really feel like a family and they all act the same.
 * 4) Splinter's new design and personality is questionable at best.
