Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles acted as the perfect follow-up to 2023’s Mutant Mayhem, and while most actors reprised their roles, the new show perfectly covered up one major absence. The spinoff series provided a fun new adventure for the four turtles, as they took on new foes and continued to expand this fresh animated universe. Being split into two separate stories allowed the show to get the best out of the protagonists both individually, and as a collective, which helped add to their character development while setting up the future of the Mutant Mayhem universe.
