Switching gears a little bit, TMT, TMNT, you know, can't forget the end, you know what I'm saying, the Last Ronan will be featuring a spinoff of a comic book story and in the form of a video game. So if you don't know, during the past, it was this novel called The Last Ronan for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for people who didn't know what the abbreviation was for. as most people who grew up with the ninja turtles will probably know that the more of a family a four a four turtle family or however you want to call it and in this video game they're going for more of a heartbreak sense of a storyline as the last ronin is basically adapting a story where one of the four brothers who remains who remains identified throughout the the entire story, no, throughout the entire story, no, I think they said at the beginning, who remains unidentified during the story's introduction, aims to avenge the death of his siblings.

And the story takes place in a battle-worn New York that has succumbed to the rise of Oroku Hirodo, Shredder's grandson. Okay, so it's very much a what-if type storyline. If anybody is familiar with comics, you should know what a if storyline kind of is. But so for this game, it's kind of drawing, not kind of. The people who was talking about this or the rumors when it came up said that this is drawing heavy inspiration from God of War, which if you don't know, spoiler alert. And God of War, Ragnarok, he uses a bunch of weapons. He uses his blaze of chaos.

He uses his notable acts that he had in the first God of War, 2018 game. and he gets a spear, which is why I say spoiler alert. He gets a spear, and then that's another weapon. I think that's it. So basically there's three weapons, right? There's four weapons and the turtles. There's another weapon that Cratos uses, I believe. I mean, he uses his hands, of course.

You know, he got the hands on deck. Oh, his shield. Okay, I guess it's the fourth weapon. His shield. So he has his spear, his blaze of chaos. Hold on a second. The Blaz of Chaos, one, the Spear, two, the Leviathan, Acts, three, don't ask me how I know the name, I'm a nerd. And then the fourth is a shield.

So that's technically his four weapons, right? So for this Ninja Turtle that will forever remain, well, not forever. I haven't read the whole story, so maybe I should not spoil myself, but I kind of want to the way they're making this story sound. Like, avenging the death of your three siblings, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not a type of storyline that I think any of them can do. die in. Like, as a kid watching, I never thought to myself, whoa, is one of them going to actually die? Like, it was never one of those type of scenarios. It was always a Power Ranger-esque type of show. Like, everybody's going to get home safely and they're going to beat the bad guy at the end of the day. So for this type of storyline to be submerging as far as rumors, that's all it is. It's all rumors.

So this could be completely false. But there's been so many rumors at this point that I feel like this game is actually coming. Like the the gaming industry has been talking about this according to reports from a lot of different news outlets that there's teenage mutant ninja turtles the last ronin game is on its way. That's what a lot of people are saying. So the biggest thing is it's a direct inspiration from God of War. So the what's the different weapons they use? The bow staff by Donnie, the double blade katanas, not double, but the twin blade katanas by Leonardo. Of course, the, what's the, it's the cat, I forget what the size. I forget what, I forget what, I forget what Raphael uses.

The size? I forget what those are called. And then the nunchucks by Michael Angelo. Those would be the four weapons, God of War style. So if you ever play God of War, you know that this could actually work as far as having a bunch of weapons with his own skill tree. I mean, God of War has so many skill trees that even the side characters have missions because of how many skill trees was applied to them. I mean, Atraeus had a whole skill tree. Freya had a whole skill tree.

And I've played both games thoroughly. So it's like I understand how the mechanics could work for a game like Ninja Tares. Turtles the last Ronan. Now, honestly, I don't know if this works for Ninja Turtles, because I feel like the theme of Ninja Turtles is a family type of theme. Like, Cratos has never been a family type of character. He's always been that rated R, slice him about his head off type of character. So when they say God of War type of inspiration for this game, I don't know if you can

bring a family-friendly brand, which is the Ninja Turtles, to, uh, a more grounded, heartbreaking story like The Last Ronan. Obviously, it happened in the comics, but by, at this point, everybody should know. Comic adaptations and gaming adaptations to movies, and especially video games, don't always work. So I'm still holding out hope that this is going to be an actual game, but for the most part, I'm not getting my hopes up too much because at the end of the day, this is just a rumor. but I've been seeing it for so many different news outlets. It has to be something like the famous thing, whether it's smoke, this fire. So anyways, click my link to your my bio.

Let me know one of my social medias. Were you ever a Ninja Turtles fan? And if you were, let me know if this teenage real Ninja Turtles game comes out, the last Ronan, will you be checking for it? and will you actually be excited to play this video game?
