Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Is a Must-See for Every Fan & Already Has 100% on RT

A sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the latest reboot of the franchise, has been recently released on Paramount+. You can already watch all 12 episodes, each about 20 minutes long.

Despite significant visual changes, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a perfect sequel and preparation for the second feature-length installment that is already in development. We tell you why you should not miss the series, especially if you have long loved these characters.

All fans know that the franchise about mutant turtles who master oriental martial arts is endless. The story has been rebooted seven times in film and television.

In addition to the animations, there have been five live-action movies and even a TV series (unfortunately a failed one). In general, the franchise has never disappeared from the screens for more than six years.

What is Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles About?

The plot of Tales begins a few months after Mutant Mayhem. The four defeated Superfly, now the heroes can come out of the shadows, study at school and most importantly go to parties.

They just want to have fun, even though Splinter is against it, but on the way they encounter Mechazoids – robots created by scientist Bishop to destroy all mutants. The most dangerous thing is that in the end the turtles are separated and each of them has to get out of a difficult situation on his own.

It's Better to See Mutant Mayhem Before Watching Tales

Those who have not seen Mutant Mayhem and only know the turtles from the previous versions will have a hard time understanding the plot of the series. In the last feature-length movie, the four were made into real teenagers for the first time, and were even voiced by teenagers.

The characters are still at the very beginning of their journey, so they are not confident in their abilities, have not developed specific strategies, and rely only on teamwork.

If Mutant Mayhem showed the formation of the heroes as a team, here they develop the personalities of each of them. And the creators use an interesting technique: a significant part of the action is presented as the story told by each of the characters.

Of course, it must be admitted that Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles turned out to be an unnecessary project. But for fans, 12 short episodes will be great entertainment for several evenings. This is confirmed by the rating on Rotten Tomatoes – a perfect 100%.
