When i first found out of the rise movie i had to speedrun the show cause it was like a neuron activated in my brain😭

I hadnt heard of rise at all before the movie

PART 1

And then I ended up loving the stupid naked rat show.

Happy 3 Year Anniversary, ROTTMNT Movie! You were what really got me into this fandom and I'll forever be grateful for it!

If you're confused, this is actually Part 2 of my initial reaction to Rise. You can see Part 1 HERE. TED Talk below...

In retrospect it kind of makes sense why I would fall so hard for the movie's opening. Leonardo and Mikey were my favorite growing up and I've always been a sucker for a good post apocalyptic, father/son bond, self-sacrificial, time travel story (thanks DBZ). I ended up eating through Season 1 in about a week and then had no means of watching Season 2. Ironically I started Replica when I was stuck in this weird floaty space between seeing all of Season 1, but none of Season 2 or the actual movie.

Even then it was not actually the show that triggered my passion, but rather all the amazing fan work I was exposed to after watching season one. My Pinterest and Twitter feed quickly filled up with turtle fanart and before I knew it I had become hyper fixated on something new for the first time in 7 years. It shocks me that I'm still so invested, but I think it's just because all the people I've met in this wonderful community have continued to inspire me though it all! You all rock!

What could've been...

The brothers were called to an ancient temple with mystic paintings, showing each different versions of those who gaze upon them.

Leo got separated from the group and found a painting with a version of himself he did not want to see, what he could've become if his brothers hadn't been able to rescue him from the prison dimension.

He doesnt mention it to his brothers on their way out.

an argument (post-movie, obviously)

hoodie snatchers *sobs*

this trope w them is so cute and even their hoodies match which just makes it cuter, they will not admit their silliness tho

I think something important to bring up to counter the defeatist attitude I’ve seen going around of “give up AI is inevitably going to take your art jobs” is a lack of awareness in the people making these claims. Most of them seem to not be in any sort of creative industry.

So here’s the thing. I work as a professional artist at a studio that regularly accepts art submissions from freelancers… and we REFUSE to use AI generated imagery. It’s even stated in our contracts and legal agreements.

We will not be taken advantage of by paying hundreds of dollars to AI prompters who use legally questionable means to “create” their submissions.

While many of us in the studio find AI to be ethically unsound, at the end of the day… it’s because AI is literally a LIABILITY. Avoiding it now will save us a lot of trouble and legal drama down the line.

It’s just common sense.
