turtles are turtles

I’m absolutely fascinated how TMNT 2003, TMNT 2012, and ROTTMNT establish who is the initial “best fighter” among the turtles and it has been a different turtle for each series.

For 2003 TMNT, it’s Leonardo who is the only one to beat Master Splinter’s exercise.

For TMNT 2012, it’s Raph who wins a sparagainst all of his brothers

And for ROTTMNT, it’s Donnie who holds his own against Baron Draxum

It would be awesome if TOTTMNT continued this trend and established Mikey as their best fighter.

1987 Fans hated the 2003 series when it first came out.

2003 Fans hated the 2012 series when it first came out.

2012 Fans hated the Rise series when it first came out.

Rise Fans are now hating on Mutant Mayhem

This is a toxic cycle in this fandom that we need to stop doing NOW.

Finally, at long last, Part 1 of Hell on Earth! I will just say right now that I consider the Cass Apocalypse Series to be canon. No official information on what happened in Casey’s past exists and I know for a fact that the author stays as close to the canon as possible. I will die on this hill.

Previous: (10) Pages 25-30

Next: (11) Pages 7-13

See All…

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.

Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.

So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.

In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.

Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.

It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.

Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.

If I see one more person say “the new teenage mutant ninja turtles actually act like brothers!” I’m gonna rip my hair out

People have been saying this for, legitimately, 2 decades

Just because characters don’t act like how you and your siblings act, or they don’t act like how you want siblings to act, does NOT mean they are inaccurate. This can apply to so many things like neurodivergence, disabilities, relationships, etc

Just because the dynamic isn’t accurate to you, doesn’t mean it’s not accurate

I have siblings, and personally, the 2012 version is probably closest to how me and my siblings act. But you don’t see me saying “2012 has the most accurate depiction” because families are different!

Season 1 Leo is such a silly little guy. Which is so jarring to see after watching the end of the series.
