Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is the highest-rated TMNT film according to Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer and is nearly perfect in the eyes of many. It goes without saying that Nickelodeon Movies will be looking to expand on Mutant Mayhem’s success with a new TMNT series. However, the film takes many popular villains from the past without doing justice to their long histories.By the end of the film, this issue is taken a step further as the villains in question more-or-less switch sides entirely. After acting as little more than henchmen to Ice Cube’s Superfly, the villains switch alignment to aid the Turtles in saving New York City. This is an odd choice for a film meant to launch a new series, and while there are still plenty of directions to take the franchise, the inclusion of so many villains in supporting roles could prove detrimental to the future of this particular TMNT series.It was undeniably fun to see so many iconic TMNT villains featured in one incredibly animated film. Most notable among these evildoers are Baxter Stockman, Leatherhead, Wingnut, Bebop and Rocksteady. Stockman was given a fairly prominent role as the man who created the legendary ooze and, in turn, created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles along with their rogues gallery. However, it was underwhelming to see a character like Leatherhead, who was almost always portrayed as a true threat to the Turtles in the past, treated as a simple henchman. Conversely, it was just flat-out strange to see the quintessential henchmen Bebop and Rocksteady take even more of a secondary role before eventually becoming allies of the Turtles.RELATED: Kevin Eastman Describes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reaching New Audiences As ‘Mind-Blowing’RELATED: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Redeems Some Iconic Villains – And It’s For the Best
