Good. Very very good news. The 2017 film was just maligned by so many delays and behind the scenes issues. I do not like that film, I make no secret of that pretty much any chance I get. Even putting aside my distaste, it was a very poorly received film. And that really showed in both it's critical and commercial failures. Saban banked on that film to grow the franchise, spawning a series of films. But it was such a loss that he immediately began shopping the brand around which culminated in selling to Hasbro.
At this point no one should have expected Hasbro to try and move forward with that particular film or it's characters for a couple reasons. 1, the afformentioned commercial & critical failure. It was a box office bomb and while it is loved by it's fans, it was maligned by many who could not form a connection with the film, it's characters, or it's bizarre design choices. 2, Lionsgate. While Hasbro could probably make some arrangements with them, they ultimately own that film property and it's characters. Hasbro wants to create their own thing, not piggyback off of something they don't physically own, and that wasn't successful in the first place.
Striking out on their own with a brand new film is likely the only and best option, and one I greatly welcome. I so wanted to be excited for the PR17 film, I wanted it to be a success. But it takes a good film to be successful. While Hasbro is known for some so so TMNT films and derisive Transformers movies, I believe their experiences and the cautionary tale of the '17 movie properly set them up for success with a fresh start.
