Blog:I didn't like the TMNT reboot

Recently, Nickelodeon premiered Rise of Ninja Turtles, which is a reboot of the show.

What I don't like

 * 1) Ralph is the leader. Ever since the turtles first appeared in 1984 on IDW Comics, it had a mythology, and the main rule is they have a place (Leo is the leader, Donnie is the nerd, Ralph is the juggernaut and Mikey is the goofball). And not only that, Ralph still has rogue personality so he can't be the leader (and Leo lost his leader personality).
 * 2) Even the Michael Bay movies respected the mythology and put them in their place.
 * 3) April is black. This shouldn't be a problem if she was recurrent but no, the fans know who is April O'Neil, you just can't change the skin of an iconic character!
 * 4) Too goofy. Yes it has action scenes sure but, it has a lot of MCU-esqued jokes that shouldn't be there. Also, the turtles act like bastards while battling.
 * 5) See the turtles with techno-upgraded weapons was meh. The first episode explains this but, the point of the Comics was having them like street urchins. Unless they make Shreddrer and Kraang more powerful, the battles would be less thrilling.
 * 6) Speaking of which, their first villain is an alien spider.

What I like

 * 1) Smooth animation.
 * 2) Almost everyone retained their personalities (except, of course, Leo).
 * 3) Unlike the CN reboots, it has good action. Also, they performed well the upgrade idea (despite it doesn't fits with the turtles) unlike Ben 10 2016's Omni-Enhanced and the Energy Build-Ups from PPG reboot.

+ TMNT shows and movies ranked (best to worst)
NOTE: The 90s movies won't be there since I never saw them. This is based on my opinion.
 * 1) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series).
 * 2) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007 film).
 * 3) Ninja Turtles (2003 TV show).
 * 4) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV show).
 * 5) TMNT 2: Out of Shadows (2016 film).
 * 6) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014 film).
 * 7) Ninja Turtles: Next Mutation (1997 TV series).
