TMNT (2012) characters as dysfunctional family roles

here I go again analyzing a kids show that ended four years ago. anyway, I saw a tiktok by user doinbigthink where they gave a quick overview of the six kinds of dysfunctional family roles, and I immediately thought of tmnt bc it’s my current hyperfixation. so I spent almost an hour doing research and writing up this analysis, as one does.

as a preface: dysfunction in a family can be caused by anything from someone struggling with addiction to a parent being abusive or unavailable/neglectful to someone having narcissistic personality disorder (npd) etc. etc. Usually there is one person who is the root cause of this (very deep seated) dysfunction and the others in the family (often the kids) fall into these roles in order to cope.

Leo: The Hero

The Hero is often the oldest child. They cope with the dysfunction in the family by being high achievers or perfectionists, and they need a sense of control in order to feel safe within the family. They are seen as very well-adjusted, balanced, and high-functional and are often used as an example of how well the family as a whole is doing. They may allow this misconception to continue (whether consciously or unconsciously) in order to hide the family’s problems. They may be parentified as children (that is, forced to take on a parental role for their younger siblings) and usually feel a lot of pressure to solve the family’s issues. With Leo in particular, you see these two behaviors in the way he approaches leading his brothers as well as the way he obsessed over bringing Karai into the family for Splinter’s sake after discovering her true identity. As an adult, the Hero is often drawn toward romantic partners who are emotionally unavailable (again, see Leo’s crush on Karai) and tend to throw themselves into their work (Leo’s obsession with ninjutsu)

Leo: The Golden Child

The Golden Child is not a dysfunctional family role but instead describes a relationship that develops between a parent/guardian with npd and one of the children in the family. In these cases, the parent tends to favor the Golden Child because the Golden Child exhibits all the traits the parent loves in themselves. In Splinter and Leo’s case, these characteristics are their devotion to ninjutsu, their general temperaments, and their more spiritual/mystic natures. There are MANY examples of this favoritism in TMNT canon; for example, Splinter teaching Leo his reiki technique (the healing hands) in “the deadly venom” because everyone things Leo is the most capable of learning such an advanced technique (in the episode, Donnie says that he doesn’t think anyone else on the team could’ve done what Leo did, i.e. using the healing hands on himself and saving the others from karai). The parent has a volatile relationship with the Golden Child and often their love is conditional (that is, the parent will favor the Golden Child as long as the Golden Child continues to act like the parent). Because of this, the Golden Child often has trouble establishing an independent identity (see: Raph calling Leo “Splinter Jr.”, though I can’t remember if this happens in 2012 or just in the 2003 version). The Golden Child may also participate in the narcissistic parent’s abuse against the other children in order to protect themself (this is less explicit in canon, but I think that Leo’s leadership style fits this bill)

Raph: The Scapegoat

The Scapegoat is often the second child. As the name suggests, they are often blamed for things that go wrong in the family regardless of whether it was actually their fault or not. Scapegoats are often very aware of their position in the family and as a result they may feel rejected, isolated, and unlovable. I think a good example of Raph feeling like this is the fact that, early in the show, he only openly expresses his emotions to Spike. Scapegoats learn that negative attention is better than no attention (especially from a parent/guardian) and they often engage in high risk behaviors such as sex, drugs, etc. (in Raph’s case, his reckless fighting style and the way he seeks out fights, and this also explains his temper and overall angry demeanor). Because of this, they tend to get into a lot of trouble and are often singled out as the child who needs individual help (aka therapy) even though the root problems lie with the family as a unit. In cases where the parent has npd the Scapegoat is often pitted against the Golden Child. This is called splitting and it is another way to distract from the family’s deeper issues. I feel like I don’t need to explain the way that Leo and Raph are pitted against each other.

Donnie: The Lost Child

The Lost Child, as the name implies, often fades into the background. Usually this is on purpose in an effort to keep themself safe, as they might be scared to draw attention to themself or rock the boat, especially in an abusive household. They may often feel ignored or neglected and are often described as loners who have difficulty developing social skills or self-esteem. Like the Hero, the Lost Child is often used as an example of the family’s stability and success because they aren’t causing trouble. They tend to struggle when forming friendships/romantic relationships, and they are usually praised for not needing a lot of attention/being independent. Because of this, they feel safer when they’re by themselves. Although Donnie does cause trouble sometimes (see: all the times he’s blown some shit up in the lab, the Mutagen man thing, etc.), he’s not seen as the troublemaker. Raph (and Mikey, to a certain extent) definitely takes that title. Donnie is often alone in his lab---working, admittedly, but he still tends to isolate himself, and he is often seen as the most socially awkward of the brothers (see: his relationship with April). There’s also this very interesting exchange from the episode “Enemy of My Enemy” when they’re in the Shellraiser and Leo is about to take the stealth bike to help Karai:

Raph: Hey, the stealth bike’s my thing. Leo: Now your thing is sucking it up. Donnie: Hey! That’s my thing!

Mikey: The Mascot

The Mascot is often the youngest child. They use humor and goofiness to diffuse tension and distract the family from their issues, though when this works, they feel increased pressure to continue to step in when things become tense or volatile. The Mascot acts from a place of anxiety and trauma, and they may have bouts of depression. They also tend to feel as though they cannot express their negative emotions (because they often see themselves as responsible for their family’s happiness). They tend to bend over backwards for people with little regard for their own safety/comfort, and they are drawn to intense and dysfunctional relationships (whether romantic or platonic) where they will be called upon to diffuse tension. This can be seen in the way Mikey approached his friendships with both Bradford (pre-mutation) and Leatherhead. Mikey is also very rarely shown as being sad, angry, or depressed the way that the other three are, and it’s only in times of extreme emotional distress (like the season two finale) where he drops his humor. Even in the midst of tough battles or tough situations, Mikey tends to insert himself into the middle of the tension and is almost constantly cracking jokes or trying to keep things lighthearted. When he does show more negative emotions, it’s in (mostly) one of two ways. One, giving comfort or seeking comfort, usually from Raph (again see the season two finale, where he hugs Raph to calm him down after Splinter “dies” and seeks comfort from Raph in the Party Wagon as they’re driving away from the city). Two, acting combative with Donnie.

Note: Mikey and Donnie acting combative

This second one in particular is really interesting to me because both Donnie and Mikey exhibit a level of comfort/feeling safe with each other that they don’t display with the other two. Mikey only ever gets physical with Donnie (their little slap fight in “Turtle Temper” or attacking him at the end of “The Creeping Doom”), while Donnie only ever purposefully antagonizes Mikey to get a reaction (slapping him in “Turtle Temper”, which prompts the slap fight, or teasingly insulting him at the end of “The Creeping Doom”, which prompts Mikey to attack him). Mikey likes to get under Raph’s skin, but he never retaliates when Raph gets physical with him. Donnie does occasionally argue with Raph and Leo, but usually backs down after Raph threatens him with violence (see “New Girl in Town”), and with Leo it never escalates past a verbal fight (see the season two finale, “the fourfold trap”). Actually, it seems that in Mikey’s and Donnie’s relationship, they take on the roles that you usually see in Raph’s and Mikey’s relationship. Mikey antagonizes Raph and Raph retaliates; similarly, Donnie antagonizes Mikey and Mikey retaliates, but neither of them would act this way toward their other two brothers.

Splinter: The Root of the Dysfunction

I’ve made a lot of allusions by now to Splinter having npd, or at least some narcissistic tendencies. There are many times where he shows favoritism toward Leo or acts in a very stubborn or even self-absorbed manner. In the season one finale, for example, he refuses to help the turtles fight and only leaves the lair after april is kidnapped by the shredder. In “the pulverizer returns”, he makes the turtles switch weapons (for literally no good reason), they almost die in a fight and switch back, and as punishment, he takes their weapons away entirely; this isn’t addressed in the episode, but i do believe that if they’d had their weapons, they could’ve prevented timothy from being mutated in this episode. (Admittedly there are times when he apologizes, admits he’s wrong, and changes his mind, which is why I hesitate to say he exhibits fully narcissistic behaviors). There’s also the physical aspect of their relationship. He’s teaching the turtles ninjutsu, so you can expect a very physical relationship in the form of training, but there are times when he causes the turtles pain for the sake of pain as punishment (e.g. randori, which we see a few times, or when he goes for their pressure points, or when he trips mikey in the episode “monkey brains”, or when he stabs raph with his cane in the episode “turtle temper”, and these are just the examples i can think of off the top of my head). There has been discourse in the fandom about whether these characters (splinter and raph in particular) are abusive, and i don’t want to get into that. However, i think it’s undeniable that splinter raised his kids with the intent to turn them into child soldiers, and also i fully believe that this (plus his parenting style) is the root of the dysfunction in the hamato family.

TMNT 2012 Rewatch Episodes 11-15

Mousers Attack: This episode was by far my least favorite in Season 1 and my least favorite overall until Pizza Face took that title. How do I feel now after all these years? Well… I don’t outright hate it anymore and it has it’s fun moments, but I still don’t care for it. I get what they were trying to do, but I just think the whole A/B Team thing was poorly done with Donnie and especially Mikey coming off as borderline useless with a poor resolution to the team unifying. I liked seeing Leo and Raph actually getting along, but both come off as such big jerks that it’s hard to enjoy that aspect. I like the concept of the two pairs having a confict because of Leo and Raph being better fighters and Donnie and Mikey trying to prove them wrong but while Donnie’s intellect does get spotlighted, it’s just otherwise… not that good and more justifies Leo and Raph’s cockiness than dissuades it with them having to save the other two and overall handle the Mouser situation all on their own. I’ll go more in-depth into the issues of the episode when I do the reviews, but long story short: you only need to watch this so you know why Stockman’s with the Foot later. 2/5.

It Came From the Depths: Leatherhead intro, yay! God I missed the Mikey that wwe got in S1. I still need to rewatch S2-5 all the way through, but it really feels like the more the show went on, the more depth that Mikey lost overtime. Here we saw a more empathetic side to him in how he befriended Leatherhead despite the others being against it and some inner wisdom that shows how emotionally intelligent he is. After New Friend, Old Enemy especially it’s perfect development for him. Leatherhead is also such a sympathetic character. He has a good heart bit because of the torment he endured he’s prone to violent outbursts and it’s just… sad. The episode really demonstrates how monsturous the Kraang really are and how scary they truly can be. And of course we get to see Splinter in a fight, and it is glorious. It’s overall a really good episode that furthers the Kraang plot, demonstrates why Mikey is a good character, and I just love Leatherhead so much~! 4.5/5

New Girl in Town: We have reached the conclusion of the Leo and Raph rivalry arc and the intro of Karai. This episode took everything between the two Turtles from the past few episode and brought it to such an excellent conclusion. Leo expressing his frustrations over the burden of leadership was well-times and helps make the frankly VERY rushed development and decision to trust Karai more understandable. Raph finally got a taste of what Leo endured every day and finally realizes how much of an insensetive jerk who only made it worst for his brother. Even Donnie and April got some good moments woth Donnie taking charge during Raph’s breakdown and April calling Leo put, but still listening to him when he explains why he’s attracted to Karai. I admit Splinter dcolding Leo for his frustrations comes off as harsh, but tbf I think be was more mad that Leo adandoned the post like he did and he DID bring it up to Raph. And Karai got some good character establishment with her mischevious bad girl personality that promised a whole new dynamkc. Overall, aside from some tweaking, the episode did everything it needed to do and did it well. 4.5/5.

I, Monster: I love this episode. This was the episode the show needed at this point. The Rat King is still utterly terrifying despite his ability being to control rats, which may not sound scary but… yeah. It did very well delving more into Splinter, his struggle with maintaining his humanity, his fears about his sons one day no longer needing him, and just emphasizing bow much of a tragic character he is which REALLY makes what happens to him in later seasons hurt more. I admit 2012 Splinter is harsher than I remembered, but it’s still very clear that he loves his sons and that they loved theor father, and this episode just demonstrates that so well. Add in some more Splinter badassery and you have a winner of an episode~! 5/5.

The Alien Agenda: I feel… mixed. To me, the whole Leo and Karai development happened incredibly last. Leo comes off as maybe too naive, trusting the enemyw ho he hasn’t known for bery long and considering what we find out later, his crush is… awkward looking back. Raph being far more level-headed and calling Leo out on not only acting that way, but not telling Donnie, Mikey, and Splinter for no clear reason was good though and helped show more of Raph’s development. Karai being the first Foot character to give a damn about the Kraang’s involvement and overall proving to be the smartest villain thus far really helped make her a more likeable but formidable foe. I din’t mean to harp on Leo too much and tbf he DID threaten Karai to leave his family alone, it’s mainly just rushed execution but that just can’t be helped. The Kraang plot was meh, really inly foreshadowing the big reveal in two episodes, but April getting to show some progress with her training was nice. It’s not the best episode with it’s rushed execution, the Kraang plot jsut kind of being there, and Leo maybe being more naive than he should have been and keeping Karai a secret just comes off as kind of pointless. But it does help show more of Leo’s character flaws, had some good interactions with him and Raph, furthered Karai’s role, and has the Foot gaining a more active interest in the Kraang. It helped progress things in a still mostly fun way and that’s all I ask for. 4/5.

Okay, so next time we have The Pulverizer, cockroaches, April and Splinter bonding, and of course the episode that changes everything between the Turtles and Karai… well, the first one anyways. Should be fun!

Turtles Forever Part 65

The Lesson

"Donnie, What's the big surprise that you had to drag us all out of bed?" Raph growled, irritated. The three brothers, Splinter, and four girls were in Donnie's lab, wondering the same as well. Donnie was standing in front of them.

"Yeah, Don. Couldn't it wait in the morning? A turtle does need his beauty sleep, you know?" Mikey groaned tiredly, rubbing his eyes, yawning. Leatherhead walked into the room wheeling in a strange monitor.

"Leatherhead? what are you doing here?" Leo asked.

"Leatherhead and I staid awake all night fixing this. But, we did it! We've finally got it to work!" Donnie shouted barely able to contain his excitement.

"Did what, my son?" Splinter questioned. Donnie walked over to Mona and took her hand gesturing her to the bed, with the monitor next to it, to lie down on it. Cautiously, Mona laid down as Raph walked over to her standing beside the bed next her. Donnie started up the monitor and began to rub some gel on the mutant's stomach. Then he took a sensor that was connected to the monitor and began to rub it over Mona's belly. A picture came on the screen followed by an erratic heartbeat. Oh the screen, was a small baby with a tail as it moved. Raph and Mona's eyes widen in shock as did everybody else as well watching the screen.

"O-Our baby?!" Mona stammered. Raph watched the screen in silence, completely paralyzed in shock. Donnie scanned Mona over again then inspected the image on the screen.

"By the looks of it, the baby's definitely gonna take after Mona. But, I can't tell what the gender is because of the tail in the way. However, they seem to be healthy." Donnie explained. "I'd say it'll probably be about three months before they are born."

"Donnie, this is the best gift ever! You and LH really out-did yourself!" Raph exclaimed. Donnie smiled sheepishly, rubbing his head.

"It was nothing really. Just a few broken circuit boards and wires."

The turtles and the four girls jump down in front of April's shop. They walked in as they entered.

"April?" Leo called out. "Anybody home?"

Suddenly, they hear a scream and the sounds of someone getting beaten up. "No!"

"April's in trouble!" Donnie exclaimed. He pulls out his staff and runs towards the back door. The others follow him with weapons drawn as they ran out into the alleyway. They see April holding a bat.

"I give, I give!" They hear someone shouted. Leo adjusted the light bulb and everyone was surprised to see that it was Casey. April panted as she looked down at him.

"Easy April, it's only me!" Casey protested. April gave him an angry look.

"Casey, what the heck are you doing?" She questioned. "That has to be the dumbest thing in the history of dumbest things anybody could do!" Raph and Donnie walked over and helped Casey up. "What were you thinking?"

"I'm thinking I'm glad that's just a whiffle bat," Casey commented, rubbing his head. "Sheesh!"

"No, I mean, why would you do such a thing?" said April as she threw the bat away and started walking towards the back door to her shop.

"You asked me to, remember?" Casey asked.

"I did not!" April protested.

"Sure you did!" Casey said as he steps to her. "You was bragging about your ninja fighting skills," He flaps his arms. "And I said I ought to sneak up on ya sometime and test out how good you was. And you said that sounded like an interesting idea."

April glared at him, placing her hands on her hips. Then she looked at the four brothers and girls. "So, how are you guys doing?" She asked. "I was about to make some hot chocolate. I can easily make enough for nine," She smiled. Everyone cheered as they followed April to her shop.

"Great, I love hot chocolate!" Casey exclaimed, happily.

April counted as the four brothers and girls walked into her shop. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight," She smirked and pointed to herself. "And nine." Slamming the door on Casey's face.

"Come on April, you weren't that scared," Casey protested outside. "You beat the crud out of me!" He groaned. He hears no response. "April? Guys? Geez, everybody's so sensitive around here," said Casey, as he kicked a can and started walking away.

In the living room, Mikey and Leo were sitting on the couch, along with Yuuki and Alopex, Raph was sitting on the chair while Mona sat on the arm rest of the chair, Donnie was sitting on the table while Venus sat in a chair next to him.

"Think Casey's okay out there?" Mikey questioned. Suddenly, Donnie's shell cell began to ring.

"That's probably him now," said Leo.

"He's such a bonehead," Raph commented.

"Uh, hello?" Donnie asked as he answered his phone. But, he winched as he heard static. "Huh, it's not Casey. Sounds like somebody's trying to send me a fax."

April growled in frustration. "Oh that Casey gets me so mad!" She carried a tray with nine cups filled with hot chocolate as she walked over to the table. The three brothers and girls walked over to her at the table, taking a seat.

"What are you talking about, April?" Raph asked. "You totally clobbered him!"

"Well," April hesitated. "It's just that I really thought I was getting somewhere in my training with Master Splinter," The turtles, and girls take their hot chocolates, listening to her. "But Casey totally caught me by surprise. I should have heard him coming. You guys would have."

"Well, if it makes you fell any better, April. I'm still learning myself." said Yuuki.

"It takes a lot of practice," Donnie tells her.

"Master Splinter spent a lot of time training us to be aware of our surroundings at all times," Leo explained. "After a while though, if you studied hard enough, you got a sixth sense for it."

"Maybe you guys could help with my ninja training?" April suggested.

The four turtles give her surprised looks.

"Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea, April." Yuuki commented. The four brothers looked at each other, before shaking their heads.

"No way!" Raph said, waving his hands. The four girls looked at them surprised.

"Why not? I'm a quick learner!" April protested.

"It's not you, April," Donnie explained. "It's us."

"Last time we tried to play sensei...well, let's just say it didn't work out too well," Leo said, hesitantly.

"Yeah, we though we could teach this kid," Raph chuckled. "And we were just kids ourselves."

"Raph, that's no way to tell a story," Mikey argued. "Here, let me do it. It was a dark and stormy night, in a galaxy far far away-"

"Mikey," Raph warned.

"Uh, I mean, many moons ago, on a night much like this one,"

Four younger turtles with shorter masks that covered their heads were running in the sewers.

"We were four young turtle tots facing the most horrible of all dangerous dangers. Dun, dun, dun, the wrath of Master Splinter!"

Splinter smacked his staff against the map of the sewers that was hanging on the wall.

"We'd been warned. We knew what we were not supposed to be doing." Leo added.

Splinter smacks his staff, making the four turtle tots gasp. "Do not go to the surface!" He told them as they were walking across a balance beam. "Never go up to the streets! It is far too dangerous," He warned them as they were having dinner and slammed his teapot down, making them gasp. "Under no circumstances should you ever go above ground," Leo lost his balance, falling off from the beam. "If you ever think of going topside, just do not!" Splinter exclaimed. "You had better hope I never catch you going out of the sewers!"

The four turtle tots gulped and looked at each other.

"So, what did you guys do?" April asked.

Leo opened the manhole cover. "We went topside." The four brothers struggled to slide the manhole cover as they tried to move it.

"When we finally go the lid off." Donnie said.

"Hey, no cutting in line!" Raph warned as they tried to crawl out.

"Then move your big fat shell!" Mikey exclaimed. They climbed out and looked around the alley in wonder and amazement.

"It's amazing!" Leo said. "All this open space!"

They walked further down the alley, exploring. "Man, Master Splinter's been holding out on us," Raph said. "Up here, it's...it's..."

"Beautiful," Donnie finished.

"What we didn't know was that just around the corner, was destiny. Or actually this kid that needed help," Mikey said.

A tall black haired boy was wearing a red shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. With him was another boy who was wearing glasses. They watched as the older boys were playing hockey in the streets.

"It's Danny McDonough and his wolf pack," The boy wearing glasses said.

"Man, these guys think they own the street," The taller boy whined. "How come they gotta play in front of my steps, Stevie?"

"I'll help you," Stevie explained, clenching his fist. "We'll stand up to them." He glanced over at the older boys nervously, gulping.

"I'd like to, but they'd just beat the crud out of us. You just go on around and go home," The taller boy told Stevie. "I'll be okay."

Stevie placed a hand on the taller boy's shoulder. "Be careful. I'll see you tomorrow." The taller boy waved as his friend left. As the taller boy turned to walk to his house, the older boys blocked him.

"Hey guys, here comes Arnie dork. You forgot to pay your toll yesterday. This here's our street!" Danny said, jerking his thumb to his gang.

"I...I don't want no trouble," the boy replied, nervously.

"Well, you got trouble." Danny said as he and his gang advance closer. The boy pushed past Danny and his gang and took off running. They chased as they skated after him.

In the alley, Raphael was standing on top of a dumpster.

"I am Raphael, king of the trash!" He exclaimed. The other three turtles climbed onto the dumpster, but Raph threw them off.

"Sorry, Raph," Leo said as he picked Raph up by his leg and knocked him down. "You're the trash and I'm the king!"

"All hail Leo! King of the trash can!" Mikey cheered. Suddenly, Donnie heard voices that were coming closer towards them.

"Guy's, somebody's coming," He told them. The boy ran into the alley while the four turtle tots hid underneath the dumpster. The boy saw that he was trapped as he was at an dead end. He leaned against the wall panting, trying to catch his breath. As he stood up to run away, his eyes widen.

"Oh crud," The boy muttered. He backed up as Danny and his gang skated towards him.

"Poor little fella," Danny said, smirking. "He ran into a dead end."

The four brothers cringed as they heard the boy getting beat up.

"Somebody ought to help that kid," Leo whispered.

"Yeah, finally some real action," Raph murmured, getting up, ready for a fight. But, Donnie stopped him.

"Remember, we can't be seen," He told them.

As the gang was beating the boy, a trash can suddenly came flying at them and hit one of them. "Ow! Hey man, what's your deal?" He shouted as he pushed one of his friends. Mikey threw a trash bag at one of them.

"Ow! Hey, cut it out!"

Then a rope was thrown at one of their feet, being pulled. One of the boys lost their balance and fell on top of Danny, placing his hand on Danny's shoulder.

"Hey, quit it!" Danny said. He turned towards the boy at their feet getting ready to beat him up some more.

"Danny! Lunch time!" Danny's mother called out. He turned to the boy.

"Next time, pay your toll if you want to use our street. Come on, we're outta here," Danny said as he and his gang left.

"That's when young "Master Leo" convinced us to help the kid out," Mikey said.

"To train him so he wouldn't need little green guardian angels all the time," Donnie added.

"We thought we already knew everything there was about ninjitsu, so how hard could teaching be?" Leo said.

"And it had to be better than being stuck in the sewers doing nothin'." Raph said.

"Okay," Leo explained as he turned to the other three turtles. He was wearing a red hat that covered his face, blue jeans, a yellow shirt and brown jacket. "You guys know the plan. We'll each take turns teaching the kid what we know. Agreed?"

"Agreed." The other three turtle tots saluted.

"But remember, guys," Donnie warned. "No matter what happens, we can't let Master Splinter know what we're up to."

Leo nodded and walked over to the boy as he was getting up. The boy groaned as he rubbed his arm. "Hey kid," He turned to Leo. "I saw what happened earlier. You know, you really shouldn't let those bullies push you around like that."

"Oh, it's no biggie," The boy rubbed his arm. "I'll heal."

"It IS a big deal," Leo argued. "It's a matter of honor! You can't surrender your honor so easily. The street belongs to everybody."

"Not for kids like you and me," The boy looked away crossing his arms. "I'm too small."

"No! Those guys are small because they have no heart and no honor. My sensei, my teacher, always taught me that true strength comes from within," Leo explained.

"Maybe, but how do you get it?" The boy asked.

"You train. You train in the art of self-defense," Leo said as he did some moves. The boy watched in awe. "I can help you, teach you." The boy smiled at him.

"Okay, then let's meet back here tomorrow, the same time." Leo said.

The next day, Leo and the boy were on the rooftop, sitting with their legs crossed. The boy was struggling.

"First of all, you have to be serious about wanting to change things. You have to feel the power, connect with the power. Find your inner core, your honor, your true heart. Have you found it yet?" Leo explained as the boy continued to struggle more.

"Uh, I don't think so. Uh, little dude, I can't feel my legs," The boy said.

"That's a good thing, stay focused and breathe and you'll find your true strength," Leo told him. As Leo watched the boy as he tried to meditate, his mind began to wonder back to yesterday with his encounter with the girl with pig tails.

"Uh, little dude, I don't think this is working." The boy said. Leo snapped out of his thoughts and looked at him. How long was he spaced out. His eyes widen. He needed to get back home, fast! Leo stood up. "Just keep practicing. You'll get it! I-uh, need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back!" He said, running.

At the turtle's old Lair, Mikey and Donnie were sparring. Splinter was watching them. Donnie jumped to kick but Mikey dodged it. "Excellent, Michelangelo. Donatello, lift your leg higher for the kick," Splinter instructed. Mikey knocked Donnie and he landed in front of Splinter. Donnie sat up, rubbing his head.

"Sorry, Master Splinter," He said. Splinter held his hand out and Donnie took it as Splinter helped him up.

"That is enough for now. You may rest, my son. It is Leonardo's turn to train," Splinter said as he turned to the couch. Raph was watching the TV with a stuffed bear, sitting next to him that was wearing Leo's mask and a T-shirt.

"Uh-oh, oh boy..." Raph muttered as he looked back as Splinter then back at the bear.

"Come Leonardo," Splinter called out.

"Master Splinter, we wanna keep practicing!" Mikey called out as he and Donnie tried to distract him.

"But it is Leonardo's turn," Splinter explained.

"Leo won't mind, will ya Leonardo?" Mikey called out. Raph lifted the stuffed bear's arm, waving at Splinter.

"Uh, wave if it's okay, Leonardo," Donnie said, nervously. Raph lifted the stuffed bear's arm, waving at Splinter.

"See? Leo doesn't mind." Mikey answered. Splinter frowned in suspicion.

"Uh, is this right, Master Splinter?" Mikey called out as he and Donnie began to spar.

"What about this leaping over the leg sweep?" Donnie asked. "I think I'm getting better!"

Splinter turned to them."I said enough practice. Leonardo, Leonardo?" He called as he began to walk over to the couch. Mikey and Donnie cringed as he got closer.

"This is it, it's all over! We are so cooked!" Mikey panicked as Splinter reached a hand out. Donnie and Mikey screamed. Raph immediately shut his eyes.

"Leonardo!" Splinter shouted as he placed his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Yes, Master Splinter?" Leo answered. Splinter blinked in confusion.

"It is time for your practice," He explained.

"Oh, okay, coming sensei," Leo said, giving Raph a wink and a thumbs up. Raph returned it. Leo jumped over the couch and flipped, landing next to Splinter.

"Sorry I didn't answer earlier," Leo said as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. "I kind of dozed of there for a moment." He started his katas. Donnie and Mikey were watching Leo and Splinter. Donnie nodded to Mikey and he quietly slipped away without Splinter noticing.

On the rooftops, Mikey finished dressing up, wearing the same outfit that Leo was wearing. "Now the student has become the master," He chuckled as he walked over to the boy. "Ready for more learning?"

"Well, I've been trying to be serious and breathing stuff to find my inner strength like you said,...but kinda makes my head hurt," The boy said as he scratched his head. "And I still can't feel my legs."

"What, are you kidding me?" Mikey questioned. "Get up, get up!" He helped the boy up. "Forget all that baloney, the first and most important lesson is this: you need the right attitude!" The boy blinked, confused, looking at Mikey. "And part of having a winning attitude is having a cool battle cry! A heroic superhero battle cry, like in the comic books!"

"I got it! Goru guru sama!" Mikey exclaimed. The boy scratched his head, completely confused.

"Go ro ro bo...wha?" He questioned.

"Goru guru sama! It means Mister Thunder! Goru guru sama! It's perfect for you!" Mikey exclaimed. "If you yell out Goru guru sama while charging into battle, your foes will flee like cowards before you! Ooo I really wanna see that! Come on, let's try it!"

"Oh, they're just gonna cream us again," The boy complained as Mikey lead him into the alley until the two spotted Danny and his gang.

"Not with your cool battle cries!" Mikey told him as he pushed the boy towards the gang. "Remember, Goru guru sama. Now, go get 'em!"

The boy gulped then narrowed his eyes and walked over to Danny and his gang. He clenched his fists.

"Goru go bolo ama!" He shouted. The gang smirked and skated over towards the boy and began beating him up. Mikey cringed.

"Maybe I didn't give him the right name..." He murmured as he watched.

Donnie and Mikey met on the rooftops. Mikey took off his clothes and tosses them to Donnie.

"How's it going?" Donnie asked.

"Um, great," Mikey answered, hesitantly.

"Good, because I got something really special planned for them. They're gonna love it!" Donnie said as he put on the hat.

The boy sat across from Donnie looking down at a chessboard that was sitting in front of them. "It's really important to really think your actions through. It's all like a game of chess," Donnie explained. "You have to be thinking three to four moves ahead of your adversary. Planning, knowing what's coming."

The boy looked at the chessboard unsure of what to do and scratched his head. "Uh,..." Donnie tapped his finger on the table. He looked up at the boy, who still hadn't made a move. Hours seemed to passed, as Donnie had his head laid on the table and a pigeon landed on him. He looked up again to see that the boy still hadn't made a move.

"Well, it might take a little more time...for some people, I guess," Donnie said as he stood up. "I'll be right back." He left as the boy stared at the chessboard, thinking.

Donnie ran to Raph, handing him the clothes and tossed the hat on Raph's head. "Good luck," He told him. Raph quickly got dressed and ran over to the boy, sitting down.

"I've been studying the board like you said and I still don't get it. Like the horsey, though," The boy said as he held up the knight piece. "I'm trying to think it through, but I don't know."

"Listen guys, the first and most important lesson is to never think. Never! Just act and react and always attack!" Raph said.

"I sure wish you'd make up your mind. Be serious, use your battle cry, think it through, never think! I don't get it!" The boy shouted, confused.

"What you need are weapons. It's all about the weapons," Raph said. "We gotta find you some kind of weapon."

Raph looked at the chessboard before getting an idea. Across from Raph and the boy were three cans that were sitting on the ledge. Raph held the chess pieces in his hand and threw them, knocking down all three cans. "Ha!" He turned to the boy. "You try!"

"Uh...kay." The boy answered nervously, holding the chess pieces in his hand. He threw it but the pieces hit the wall and rebounded back towards him and Raph. Raph cringed.

"Hmm, maybe you just need a better target. Let's see how you do in combat," He said. Raph lead the boy into the alley.

"Now remember, focus on your weapon. It's all about the weapons!" He explained.

The boy threw the pieces at the gang but missed as the pieces landed near their feet. Raph cringed as he watched the boy get beat up by the gang.

"Maybe we need to work on the kid's aim a little...or find him a different weapon." He murmured.

Back in the Lair, Mikey, Donnie and Leo stood across from Splinter as he stood in front of them. "Now, I wish for you to take what you have learned and use it in pairs. Michelangelo and Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael," Splinter raised an eyebrow, seeing that Raph wasn't there. "Where is Raphael?"

"He's in the shower?" Donnie answered, nervously, jerking his thumb.

"Yeah, yeah, he's in the shower," All three turtle tots said together. Leo smiled sheepishly. Splinter gave them a suspicious look.

"You four have been acting very strangely of late," He pointed out.

"Uh, Raphael, it's time to get out of the shower!" Leo shouted, running off. Donnie and Mikey smiled sheepishly and followed after him. Splinter had a confused look on his face watching them leave. Raph walked in as the others ran over to him. "Raphael!"

"Raphie, hold still!" Mikey told him and Leo dumped a bucket of water on Raph.

"There."

"What was that for?!" Raph demanded.

"You just got out of the shower," Leo whispered. Raph turned to Leo and growled until he saw Splinter walking up to them with a stern look on his face.

"I just got out of the shower, sensei," Raph explained. All four smiled sheepishly as they looked up at Splinter.

"Hmm, I can see that," Splinter answered, hesitantly, crossing his arms."Do you always shower with your mask on?"

"Uhh, yeah, it's a great way to keep it clean!" Raph said. Splinter gives him a questionable look, shaking his head.

"Come, let us resume your training,"

In the alley, Leo, who was wearing clothes again, stood with the boy. "Okay, now it's time to try out what you've learned, to face your enemies."

"But you already made us face 'em, twice!" The boy pointed out. "And they creamed me both times!"

"Em, I did?" Leo asked, confused. "Well, let's try it again, using everything you've learned." He pushes the boy towards the gang. Standing back, watching, Leo saw his brothers walking over towards him.

"So, you think he learned anything?" Mikey questioned.

"I hope so. I mean, you taught him self-defense, right, Mikey?" Leo asked in response. "How to punch and kick? And I covered inner strength."

"I didn't teach him any fighting skills," Mikey answered, confused. "I thought Raph was gonna."

"I didn't," Raph shook his head. "Donnie, did you?"

"Oh shell," Donnie muttered in realization.

"Go so bo gara!" The boy shouted. The four turtle tots cringed as they saw the gang beat the boy up again.

"Okay, we're gonna start over," Leo said. "But this time with the real basics."

"Right!' Mikey commented. "Or as Master Splinter would say, "the foundation of any house must start strong and-" A shadow towered over them and Mikey made a girlish scream as Splinter stood over them.

"Master Splinter!" The four turtles exclaimed.

They gasped, seeing Splinter was not happy. He was furious.

"Um, Master Splinter, we can explain," Donnie explained. "We've been teaching."

"Like you!" Mikey exclaimed. "But not as good as you."

"You know, trying to follow in your footsteps?" Leo asked, sheepishly.

"There's this kid and-" Raph started to add but Splinter hold his hand up.

"Enough! Home, now!" He snapped, angrily, crossing his arms.

"But...the kid," Raph protested.

"We can't just abandon him," Mikey defended.

"You are not ready to teach! You could do more damage than good. The child must find his own path, as you must find yours. Now come, we are going home," Splinter told them. All four turtle tots whined as the hang their heads down.

Everyone busted out laughing out loud. "Oh man, was Splinter angry!" Mikey exclaimed.

"He must have made us practice for 78 hours straight," Leo recalled.

"I think he wanted to make sure we were so tired, we wouldn't be able to go topside," Donnie said.

"So whatever happened to this kid, anyway?" April wondered, raising an eyebrow. The four turtles looked at each other.

"You know, I don't know," Leo answered, shaking his head.

The boy was walking down the street with a solemn look on his face. "I'll just have to tell that kid in the red hat the training isn't working. Guess I don't have what it takes."

"Hey geek boy, doing a little reading?" He heard and looked up to see Stevie being picked on by Danny and his gang. "Oh, you're gonna cry? Oh look, he's gonna cry!"

"Give it back!" Stevie shouted as he tried to grab for his book.

"Stevie?" The boy asked, before narrowing his eyes, growling.

"What are you gonna do about it?" The gang asked before hearing a loud scream until Danny was punched to the ground. The others skated towards the boy. The boy ducked, causing one to wack the other with his hockey stick. He grabbed the stick and punched the older boy in the stomach and the face. Danny got up with a stick in hand seeing the boy knocking his gang down like they were nothing. He growled and skated over to him striking with his stick. The boy blocked it, striking back until he knocked Danny off of his feet making him fall to the ground.

He looked up at the boy in fear before he and his gang skated away, leaving him and Stevie alone.

"That's right, you better run!" The boy exclaimed. "You bullies better watch it, because Arnold Casey Jones aren't letting you push nobody around anymore!"

"Gora...gora...Goongala! Goongala! Goongala!" He roared out loud as his voice echoed throughout the streets.

"Wow," Stevie said in awe with his mouth slightly dropped. Casey walked over to him and handed Stevie his book.

"Come on, Stevie, I'll walk you home."

Top 5 favorite characters from TMNT 2012? :p

Wow, that’s a tough one, it’s like a mother picking her favorite child. I love all the characters in tmnt 2012 but heres my top 5!

5. Slash

Originally I was going to say Leatherhead but my love for Slash began to grow over time. Heck, one of my favorite episodes was his introduction. As a villain or as an ally he’s still entertaining to watch, though I do wish he was a villain for a bit longer. I love his development and how he turned from a psycho to a caring leader and I like his friendship with his team and Raph. Funny thing is I have a weakness for villains turning good, as you can see from #4 as well...

4. Oroku Karai

She was originally my favorite character in the show but that change over time. Maybe it’s because there was a point in the show when she was “missing” for most of season 3 and didn’t return until half way through season 4. My love for her I guess you could say faded but when she returned I was very happy. Her introduction episode was actually my first episode of tmnt 2012 and it’s what got me hooked. I love how confident and skilled she is as a fighter and even as a mutant snake she’s still a badass. Some people say she’s overrated and I can agree but I still love her. She’s fun to watch and it amazes me how much she changed throughout the show.

3. Renet Tilley

What can I say? This girl is fun to watch! She’s clumsy yet smart, kind but still kicks butt, and her relationship with Mikey is sweet. She’s unique and I enjoy her character. I feel she’s very underrated and I don’t know why. She’s funny and what makes her interesting is that she’s not perfect. She has flaws, she does screwup and that’s what makes her enjoyable. She’s relatable. Shes perfectly imperfect.

2. Raphael

I had to add a turtle on here. I feel like it’s a law. Here’s a fun fact, when I first started watching tmnt 2012, I didn’t care for Raph. He never really got my attention. Mikey was actually my favorite in the beginning, but then halfway through season 2 I began to enjoy Raph. His character started to interest me. I began to realized that I relate to him. Growing up I had a temper problem and I used to be jealous of my older sibling. I guess I emotionally bonded to Raph because of that, then by season 4 he officially became my favorite turtle and then I started shipping him with her...

1. Mona Lisa/Y’gythgba

What a woman! Just like Raph this girl won my heart. She’s strong, independent, a great fighter and a total badass. She became not just my favorite female character but my favorite character in tmnt. While karai got me hooked to the show, Mona Lisa was one of the reasons I kept watching. I love her character and I love her relationship with Raph ramona forever. She was a great character but the writers didn’t give her proper treatment in the show at times, like forgetting that she a member of the mighty mutantanimals, which upsets me but I love her anyway. She’s an awesome character that I love so much and I hope I see her in future incarnations of tmnt.

TMNT: Bad Blood Chapter 2 (Part 2)

April walked around me in a circle analyzing my ensemble. Satisfied, she nodded her head and replied, “If I didn’t know it was you, I would think you to be some servant or a commoner. But the real question is how do we sneak you out of here dressed like that? I’m sure Slash and Leatherhead would think it odd that you are wearing a servant gown and report it to your father.”

“Don’t worry I have a plan for those two.” I replied mysteriously.

“Oh, are you going to knock them out with your ninja moves?” April asked excitedly while karate chopping the air.

“No. I’m going walk out the door in a cloak, so no one suspect anything.” I replied amused by my friend’s fiery and battle-ready attitude.

“Well that’s boring but I guess it will work out the same way.” She said while grabbing my favorite cloak. I put in on and grabbed a basket. I then nodded to the door. We walked up to it and clutched my cloak tighter to my body as April opened the door.

“Where are you going, Your Highness? If it isn’t to bold to ask.” Leatherhead asked suspiciously. I froze then put on a smile as I turned to face my two royal guards.

“I do not find your question bold at all, my friend. I decided that I want to take a walk in the gardens. The flowers are so beautiful now that the summer sun is ending. I brought along this basket,” I said while holding the basket up and continued, “to bring some blossoms back to liven up my chambers.” I concluded with a smile on my face while I internally hoped they would believe my partial lie. Leatherhead nodded but Slash looked unconvinced. He knows me too well.

“Does your father know of your plans?” He asked with a dubious look on his face, trying to catch my lie.

I kept my body language and voice relaxed and unsuspecting as I answered, “Yes. My father said I could roam about without a guard if I remained on palace grounds. And April has agreed to escort me to make sure I stay out of trouble and presentable for incoming guests.”

He studied me for a moment trying to deduce if I was lying or not. Then he looked to April who was for the most part looking calm. I noticed slight tension in her shoulders, but it could be as impatience. Slash must have been satisfied with what he saw because with a bow of his head, he released us to continue about his business. I glanced at April and she understood my look. We both turned and fast walked to the spiral staircase that lead down to the palace doors.

“Now what?” April asked as we briskly exited the palace doors. I checked the palace gardens and saw a couple of guards placed on the palace gate to keep look out in case of any threats trying to attack the castle. The rest of the guards were probably still training or getting ready to start their rounds. I started to walk towards the stable while also staying out of the view of the guards.

I motioned for April to stay quiet and follow me to the stables. Once we made it to the stable, I replied, “Now we take a couple of horses and go riding.”

“Where would you be riding off to, Princess?” A voice asked from inside the stable. Ugh, I knew that voice. I stepped inside the stables and crossed my arms over my chest. “And why are you dressed like that, Your Highness?” He said my title with a sarcastic tone in his voice. “Hey, Red. Long time no see?” He said while looking at April.

“It obviously wasn’t long enough.” April said with a smirk on her face. Casey grinned and cocked an eyebrow. Casey was wearing his signature black tunic and trousers. He was covered in sweat and had some straw pieces stuck in his ruffled, black hair. He was leaning on a pitchfork as he leaned forward with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Casey Jones is the son of General Jones who is one of the leading generals one of my father’s army. Casey and I grew up together and trained together. He is currently in training to follow in his father’s footsteps. He is also my partner in crime when we create mischief around the palace.

“What are you doing out of your tower, Princess? I thought Daddy had you under lock and key.” Casey asked me while keeping that annoying signature smirk on his face.

“Ha, Ha, Ha, very funny. What are you doing on a stable duty?” I countered to my good friend.

Casey snorted then answered, “My dad placed me on stable duty because he said I lack discipline and need to control my temper.” He then slammed the pitchfork into another pile of hay. “I don’t have a temper! And I don’t need discipline!”

“Clearly.” I replied. I then continued, “How would you like to go for a ride with me and April? It beats shoveling horse manure.”

Casey laughed then replied, “Sure. What do I have to lose? I’m already on horse clean up.” Casey dropped his pitchfork and took off his working gloves. He then brushed the straw out of his hair and started walking to one of the horse stalls. “How many horses do you want?”

“Three, please.” I replied.

Casey brought out my favorite horse, Picasso, then asked with quirked eyebrow, “Are you sure you don’t want to take two horses? Red and I can double up on one.” He turned and winked at April.

April rolled her eyes and replied, “Casey Jones. I would not get on a horse with you even if we were being pursued by the Foot and there was only one horse left.” Casey let out a low whistle at April’s comment then put his hands up in mock surrender motion.

“Can you two stop for one minute?” I practically yelled in exasperation. I love my two friends dearly but sometimes their banter would get to annoying to handle. I know April and Casey care for each other and Casey genuinely likes April (even though he practically flirts with every girl in the kingdom). However; I am unsure if April likes he the same way or if she only views him as a friend. I don’t know of any other man that she talks to.

Casey and April both looked ashamed and I felt a little bad for snapping at them. “Let’s just get our horses and get out of here. The guards are going to start making their rounds around the garden soon.” I said to my friends while hurriedly strapping a saddle to Picasso. They followed suit on their horses, Meg and Nix. “You guys ready?” I asked while mounting Picasso. Casey finished helping April mount her horse then mounted his own. Then we rode out of the stables into the hidden opening in the woods.

AU Facts - re-post

I was informed it's hard to get the first one to load so I don't know what's going on but I'll put it on here again just in case

Sorry guys

My Alternate Universe follows a similar timeline to the 2014/16 movies but unlike that it differs in many ways, the turtles are a bit older and differ in age –this is due to having to replace subjects due to one or all passing from not being able to survive the shots they were given, work side by side with the cops after the Krangg invasion, they have a baby sister who they not only saved but was raised alongside them by Master Splinter

Before anyone points it out the AU does have several different story timelines it follows – Raven was saved by Raph in one having found her alone in the sewers, in another he snuck up to the surface without permission and stumbled across the scene where two people were being harassed by the Foot in the end the little girl watches the men murder her mother as the young turtle tries to stop it… then there is one where the turtles never find the little girl and instead she grows up on the streets where she’s homeless and hunted by not only the Foot but also the Purple Dragons, in this timeline Raven saves Raphael from freezing to death after he’s hurt in a fight

I do tend to write poly relationships/one on one relationships

The OC Raven was originally from a book I was writing back in High School – in it she is a mutant who can absorb abilities (Like Rouge only the ability becomes hers making her dangerous to everyone around her) as a child she absorbed her guardian angel and the she fox who killed her making her the embodiment of something similar to the ying yang – beautifully innocent yet deadly, after that she is forced to carry a demon within her that tends to take over from time to time, so I did mutate her in one of my series where Sacks scientist actually force fox DNA into her with the mutagen and since in the AU the teenager has the DNA of a small species of turtle it mixes bad becoming unstable and creates a monster she struggles to control (Same as in the book)

Enemies include: Shredder and the Foot clan, General Krangg, Hun and the Purple Dragon’s

The turtles have several allies other than April O’Neal, Vern, and Casey Jones, this world also includes Leatherhead who lives off in a substation close to where their original lair existed down by the docks (So far they have had four homes in their lives), they also have a few other human allies which includes a blind man that runs a thrift store with his wife and daughter where the family get most of their newer cloths Raven fixes for them, a girl who works at a pizza shop and Chinese restaurant that coexist in the same building who gives them the leftovers they are going to throw out, and a few homeless people who stay near where their bridge exit – not including the NYPD

Leatherhead met the turtles when they rescued him from a lab the Foot were operating out of, the massive croc has a uncontrollable rage point that erupts without warning and much like the turtles he doesn’t trust humans, they found him a home where he could be safe and no human’s would be able to get near his home on the other side of the abandoned tunnels never thinking a human would actually go there willingly – also forgetting a certain teenage girl happened to go hang out in those tunnels from time to time

The first time Raven runs into the croc she is wondering around and steps into his lair without knowing she was in danger

Giving she’s never feared her family she doesn’t move a muscle when what she originally thought was Raphael turned out to be a giant mutant crocodile man, she attempts to calm him before he attacks her - she gets hurt trying to outrun him knowing the sewers far better than him she slips away by taking a tunnel only to slam right into the mutant once again just as one of her brother’s comes to rescue her having heard the screams

The turtles had mentioned they had a little sister but had never thought the two would meet but after she had apologized for trespassing in his home the two somehow became the best of friends

Leatherhead having been raised in the labs is incredibly smart and enjoys spending time in Donatello’s lab while visiting his friends if he’s not hanging out with Mikey or being spoiled by Raven who makes him tons of food while he is there

Although the croc his bigger then the turtles he his only a few years older then the teen girl

The first lair was down a few miles from the docks where the turtles and Splinter lived until they were old enough to move without the rat having to carry them, the second lair (Lair we see in the first movie) was destroyed by the foot and Shredder, the third was a station that was long forgotten where they stayed for a year before finding their current home where they have been for five years

This Lair is massive having three levels underground and an above ground Garage where they keep their vehicles so they don’t disturb their father while working on them or heading out late at night.

The main parts of the lair are all in one large room decorated like an underground amusement park equipped with a water slide with smaller rooms built up off to the sides including the huge kitchen, a dojo, a weight room, the lab and needle room reside off to the back where they have a TV room and a rear exit, Splinter’s garden room that connects to his bedroom, and a small bathroom right under the stairs.

Each of the turtles have their own room set up the way they like upstairs of the home overlooking the den and dining area, a separate set of stairs goes to an underground area where there is a pool and basking area for hot summer days and showers in a separate area set up like a locker room

The ages of the turtles vary depending on when I’m writing so per usual I try to write them when they were teens but most storied are going in their early twenties. Ages for the turtles range in stories from 10, 12, 15, (18 – 26 ç the most) and as always Leo is oldest followed by Raph, then Donnie, and Mikey is the baby of the brothers

Leonardo – The oldest

Leonardo was the only baby turtle from the original first four to survive the mutagen shots where as his sisters from the clutch never hatched

As a toddler this sweet boy clung to Splinter just as much as his baby brother and was the first to show his true personality

The blue banded ninja is the same loveable yet anal older brother we all adore, but he is much stricter than most people are used too and tends to sound extremely cold even if he doesn’t mean too at times/he can come off as a jerk which he tries to avoid.

As the oldest and the leader of the clan he carried a lot on his shoulders even if his younger siblings try to help him he’s not too keen on letting them

He was the first of his brother’s to be allowed to go with Splinter on junk runs since he was very obedient to his father’s orders even if he had a small tendency to goof off from time to time

He tends to argue with Raphael over everything from why he’s leader to why the hotheaded turtle can’t go out to the surface most days, he leads the team in practice and training daily, spends a good portion of his days training, improving his katas, and meditating

He tries to loosen up from time to time so he’s not always the serious turtle that constantly has a perpetual stick up his ass, on those days he plays video games with Mikey or works out with Raph getting into competitions with his brother that he tends to lose at, sometimes if Donnie has a lot on his plate he will go and help with smaller projects

Leo can’t cook even though he tries to much to his siblings dismay, he is skilled in sewing, loves to read and tends to try new things to see if he likes them every other month

Raphael – Second oldest

Raphael was the only surviving hatchling from the next clutch of eggs due to the others fell ill and died within the first two months due to poor diets, he was left in his tank alone and fell ill of a broken heart shortly after his brothers and sister died, looking as if he would pass too April O’Neal placed him in with the older baby turtle hoping he would be comforted if he did perish – instead Raphael got better and when he took to Leonardo the scientist kept him in the tank to be sure he wouldn’t fall sick again.

Do to the trauma of losing his siblings early on the turtle became protective of Leo, Donnie, and Mikey once they were in the tank not allowing anyone except April and her father to pick them up

As a rambunctious toddler Raphael was the more curious wonderer so Splinter had to find a playpen to keep him and Donnie in so they didn’t run off until he found a heating lamp then the rowdy tot was never far from it always basking if he wasn’t playing

As the biggest turtle he comes off as intimidating and has the temper and attitude to back it up but around his family he is more laid back. As the second oldest he butts heads with his brothers – mostly Leonardo several times a day due to they are both alphas and only a few months apart in age – but it’s more to just keep the leader on his toes then to be an ass

Raphael spends a good portion of his day lifting his weights, breaking his punching bag, making repairs around the lair, working in the garage, or wondering around the sewers if he’s not in his room or screwing with Leo

Raphael is actually the one who saved Raven when he was only ten bringing her home and caring for the girl while she was weak

The red masked turtle is quite the handy man so it takes a lot off what Don has to do in the lair when it comes to furniture being broken or having to repair pipes other than the electronics from time to time, he also enjoys working in the garage on his motorcycle when he needs some alone time… this tends to happen more than ever when you have three brothers that piss you off on a regular bases

At night if the brother’s don’t go out for patrol or have an easy night he sneaks out to meet Casey to ride bikes and patrol the city

And yes because I’m a sucker for it he does dress up as Nightwatcher without his family knowing to go out and fight crime, I had to give the hothead a motorcycle for him to ride but in actuality he had 2-3 he works on

He tries to not show it but he’s very protective of his family and cares for his brothers a lot , especially his two younger siblings, and as mean and off putting as he tried to come off he’s still a giant teddy bear with a really big heart that comforts the others when needed

Raphael loves knitting, carving little wooden figures, and cooking. He has his own play system in his room with his own TV but Mikey doesn’t mind him playing him on the one in the den if he’s not pumping weights

Donatello – Third Oldest

Donnie was actually the only egg to be brought in for the next test probably because it was the only one they could find so late in the season, he was perfectly healthy to their surprise.

When placed in the tank with Leo and Raph he didn’t take to them right away tending to stay far away from the two other males who were inseparable but given time Raph wouldn’t leave him alone and started dragging him around the cage by his carapace when he would retract into his shell to hide from them taking him to the food where the other two stayed sitting there with the turtle until he came out to eat, afterwards the third turtle was never far from the others

Even at these ages he showed higher than normal intelligence able to find ways to escape their tanks

By the time he was a toddler he was already interested in things having created their first toy from scrap parts until they had a car that drove around the home on its own it acted at a motivation in getting his baby brother to crawl as he chased it

Our sweet purple banded genius is still a genius so I didn’t change him by much

Donnie spends every waking hour in his lab if he’s not training, having to fix the security systems that surround their liar, or repairing the things his brothers break every other day, he also has three areas inside their home that belong to him

The Lab, his computer station, and his room

He’s a coffee addict so Leonardo and Master Splinter have set a limit on his caffeine intake although being Donnie he has his own coffee pot hidden in the lab so he still drinks more then he’s supposed to, his siblings constantly have to pull him from the lab to eat if they don’t just bring his food to him otherwise he would forget completely

The genius and his family built onto their home over the years so because of that each of the turtles now have their own rooms and a portion of the lair that belongs to them separately

Donatello created the lair from top to bottom making all their electronics, appliances, ect. So he tends to joke when Leo tries to boss him around

Michelangelo – Youngest

Mikey sadly was the only egg in his clutch of ten to survive but was born sick due to he had a twin that had died in the egg while inside with him, because he was the only egg to survive in over a year they cared for him round the clock until he was well enough to be placed in the tank with the other three turtles even though he was too small to fend for himself but never had too.

It was instant that the other three became protective of the tiny turtle caring for him

Because he was so tiny he liked to ride around on his brother’s shells while they wondered around the tank of hide under them while they were standing

The scientist had a hard time getting the smallest turtle away from his brothers since they were always huddled around him, Raphael and Leonardo brought the youngest two plenty of food before they would eat while Donatello would lie beside him protectively until the older two were back from their bowl

It was because of how territorial the older three were that they were all placed in separate tanks that sat side by side in a square so they could all see one another allowed to be in the same tank while April was in the lab playing with them

Michelangelo is our little prankster/skater boy

This loveable little turtle is just as we have always seen him - he can be the biggest pain in Raphael’s butt wreaking Donnie’s lab like a tornado joking off in the dojo while Leo’s trying to continue training but still somehow being that innocent angel in his father’s eyes all in the same ten minutes

Because of how small he was when he hatched Mikey is smaller than his brothers – this is more of his size then age but it makes it easy to see he’s the baby brother in all aspects

When he’s not messing with his brothers or getting one somebody’s nerves Mikey spends a good portion of his time either playing video games, reading his comics, or tagging the lair with his art while nobody’s paying him any mind – he has even done a wall in each of his siblings rooms in honor of something he loves about them making a memorial for each room

When it comes that time of year the orange banded turtle is the one to start the parties, planning the biggest bashes with the help of their sister they never fail to impress weather it’s a birthday party of Christmas

Mikey has the potential to be better than his older brothers, he’s much faster, skilled, and the shortness comes in handy he’s too laid back to really try

Raven – the baby

She’s a curvy yet slim beauty with pale porcelain skin, long black curly locks she wears in a bun of ponytail at all times, and emerald green eyes, she’s only 5’6 so she’s constantly teased for being short by her brothers, the young girl hasn’t always been with the mutant family

She was abandoned in the sewers when she was very young and somehow survived on her own for months before stumbling upon Raphael while he was out blowing off steam after a fight with Leonardo, she followed the turtle from a distance curious about him until he realizes she’s there. She hides in a tunnel when he turns but doesn’t try to run from him when he came to investigate only to find a sick and thin form

He rushes her to Donatello who had recently started learning everything he can from several medical books after finishing the physics and the thesaurus collections Master Splinter has found him while scavenging threw a junk yard or walking past a dumpster. She’s really sick and they all expect her to never make it but a few days later she’s just as active as any normal child would even though she’s still ill

It was guessed Raph had to have been the only person she had seen in a long time but for a child she looks at them as if they are no different from the tiny human girl and the longer they are around the child the more they learn about the strange child their brother brought home

At first glance the girl seems like any normal kid – curious about everything she sees and gets into, she loves to watch them while they play games or sits close by while they are watching movies, after a while she goes to them sitting in their laps as they read or watch cartoons… Then come the day they find she is far from normal

Raven hates enclosed or tiny spaces unless she finds one she likes, has major abandonment issues, and more surprising to the family the girl hates humans more than her fear of snakes

By the age of five Splinter lets her join in with the turtles in their practices but doesn’t start fully training her until she is twelve when he comes home from a walk to sees her playing with a broom stick like it was a bo or a sword sparring with her brothers as they practice their team attacks, he stays back watching the girl holding her own against the turtles who at that time were teenagers – seeing the potential she has he started her training pushing her just as hard as he does his sons

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

v The turtles don’t wear their full gear while relaxing in the lair – just pants and masks if it’s an off day – hoodies that are customized to fit over their shells during winter

v As they get older they are not required to train but do it anyways now that Leo has started leading the training practices while their father watches from his seat to keep an eye on the teen girl

v Splinter lived in the lab the turtles and him were created for three years before being freed into the sewers

v All of them have different eye and skin colors:

~ Leo has some of the deepest icy sky blue eyes and leaf green skin

~ Raph has golden orbs with emerald green skin

~ Donnie has honey brown eyes and olive green flesh

~ Mikey has the prettiest baby blues and a light sea green coloring to his skin

v Like the turtle’s Raven is skilled in several things – having taught herself to cook and bake, loves to sew and after years of practice became good enough to repair and make clothes for her family, does most of the cleaning in the lair just out of boredom… learned mechanics and how to work on cars by watching Donnie and Raph

v Leonardo and Raphael are both 26 but a few months apart in age, Donnie is six months younger then Raph (25-26 depending on the time of the year), Mikey is a year younger than his three older brothers (24-25)

v None of the turtles are actual blood siblings

v Raphael even though he cares for the girl deeply starts to push her away a few years after she comes to live with them fearing he will hurt her if he lets her too close but slowly she breaks his walls down considering him her best friend even though he acts like he hates her

v The guys have rap battles at random to roast each other

v Donatello was practically blind so his brothers had to lead him around until he figured out where everything was in their home until he was eight when Splinter was able find him some glasses in the garbage but as he got older the frames were smashed several times so he found a way to make his own to his prescription and now just orders them when he needs a new pair

v Splinter started teaching the little girl ninjitsu at the age of 5 – she may be years behind her older siblings but the rat saw fit that she start earlier then his sons (Boys started when they were 8)

v 3 nights out of the week are family nights so they have dinner together usually a homemade meal before either watching movies or playing games together, very rare is when Splinter is out of the lair do the siblings head to the surface to hang out for fun

v Mikey clings to Raphael more than his other brothers

v The teen gets several smaller jobs to help support the family once she learns to deal with her deep set fear of the humans bringing in more money for their needs, she is more mature than girls her own age and can sometimes act more like a mom rather than the youngest sibling

v Michelangelo having painted every room in the lair goes out to the tunnels around the home to work on his art, or takes off to Leatherheads part of the tunnels to get some peace and quiet from his brothers

v Leonardo’s love for Japanese culture was so intense he not only learned to speak the language he uses it almost as much as he does English becoming fluent by the age of thirteen, his room is decorated with art and writings from the country his brother’s managed to get over the internet

v On junkyard runs Raphael hangs back watching for danger while guarding Don’s shell before making his way to the front to feed the guard dogs playing with them and the puppies while his brothers look for things for their home so he can see the night security building and warn them if he leaves

v Donatello carried two jobs at the age of fifteen as not only a computer technician but also as a customer service assistant for people having trouble with their systems

v When younger they had to teach the girl several things – at the age of four even with very little physical contact with people of any kind the girl had a full vocabulary and to an extent could read but her way of speaking was confusing

v She was fascinated with horror films of any kind that even the turtles couldn’t watch

v Birthdays were never really celebrated until they had a home but each of the turtles picked a day they wanted to celebrate their birthdays on: Leo picked February 13, Raphael May 11, Donnie picked November 20, and Mikey being the goof he is picked October 31. Raven’s real birthday actually falls the day after Raphael’s on May 12 but she always forgets it going all out for her brothers – usually they remind her

v Mikey and Raph takes shifts cooking with the teen during the week

v Like Donnie, Raven is a coffee addict

v Raphael actually has a good voice and when younger used to sing to his brothers – now you have to tempt it out of him when he’s either in a really good mood or drunk

v They choose nights when they go solo

v Patrols are never in groups unless it’s a mission, they split into teams to patrol parts of the city on more difficult nights but on the easy nights they divide the city into four parts each turtle taking a portion

v They take turns being teamed up with their human sister

v Splinter has a soft spot of animals and tends to be unable to say no when one of his children bring home a stray pet – he loves Mikey’s kitten

v The first time one of them (Donatello) got hurt in front of her during training the little girl had whimpered running to the turtle’s side looking the wound over before trying to clean the wound herself – Mikey practically ran screaming in horror to get their father as the little girl licked the wound to stop the blood… (It’s gross but she grew up without proper role models so seeing animals cleaning wounds on the streets stuck with her)

v Mikey was the one to figure out the child they took in was smart when she accidentally hacked into Donatello’s computer to get the parental lock off the youngest turtles game system

v Donnie buys groceries by using the online orders having them delivered to the building just over the lair where Raven or Casey poses as the owners of a small business and the teen travels to the store only for small items

v None of the mutants knew the girl was good with electronics until she was playing with her computer he had made her and managed to unlock Don’s system playing one of his games with him before they even knew she was doing so

v Raphael’s favorite treat is brownies

v Raven being raised alongside the guys had to learn not only how to fight and protect herself she was taught how to keep up with them being slightly slower, jump over areas no human could manage, and hide in an instant before she was allowed out of the sewers with them so they played games to prepare her for things that may happen on the surface

v The very first time they ever took the girl to the surface was with her brother’s for a junkyard run that was supposed to be an easy night; it turned into a fight for their lives. The turtles finally seeing that the innocent kid had a much darker side when they were in trouble. She fought several men hand to hand with ease before ultimately killing two Foot soldiers before she even realized she had done so

v The guys take great joy in teasing their baby sister for being so small or pushing her into doing things they would have gotten in trouble for – Splinter never disciplines her for them if his sons were involved

v Raphael looks to Leo for advice when he really needs it even though they fight alot

v Although she doesn’t get sent in there a lot the teen’s punishment in the Ha’shi is to stand/balance on a bamboo pole with one foot while doing anything from stitching clothes or reading her textbooks to force the girl to focus her mind

v Raphael and Leonardo are usually the ones the teenager is teamed up with being the most protective of the girl, the other reason is nether of the younger turtles keep that good of an eye trusting her to keep with them. Donnie’s mind is always wondering and Mikey get distracted

v Raven having been told to stay away from Leatherheads place without one of her brothers with her fearing their friend could hurt her if he doesn’t recognize her never listens to them, she tends to believe the mutant would never hurt her on purpose and always gives him the benefit of doubt. Somehow the two are the best of friends even though she risk her life every time she steps foot into his home

v The kanji carved into Raphael’s shoulder is a constant reminder to watch his temper after flying into a rage in the middle of a sparring session with Leo in which Leo caught him with his sword accident cutting his brother over his lip unable to dodge fast enough when Raph attacked raking the longest prong across his brother’s eye almost taking it out leaving the scar over Leo’s eye once it healed, after being sure his big brother would be okay he ran to his room and cut the symbol into his flesh without his father knowing until he fell ill when it got infected

v Raven although with her fears of human’s warmed up to April within hours of them meeting due to the young reporter found the girl’s weakness (Coffee)but Raven took well over a year to warm up to Casey never getting to close to the man while he was conscious still not fully trusting him but after seeing her brother’s screwing with the man for fun she makes an effort to sneak attack him the moment he gets to the lair finding it funny when Mikey shouts out the score

v Mikey has a small fluffy white, orange, and gray kitten he named sweetie after he rescued the poor baby from the tunnels without his brothers knowing hiding the sweet little fur ball in his room until the morning it got out and attacked Leo’s leg while he was meditating – it is never to be spoke of since Leonardo never heard the tint angel playing beside him screaming just before he fell off his meditation perch just as Raphael finished his workout causing him to be mocked for weeks afterwards – and due to it being able to get the best of the blue banded turtle the kitten is practically worshiped by the others

v With enough begging from the young girl each of the turtles have been forced to have a peel off face mask at least once in their lives – Mikey’s the only one who willingly gets one every week when April comes over to do one on the girl

v Leo tells the lamest jokes but yet there are still funny

v Raphael had a Pitbull puppy when he was a kid but had to rehome her due to she didn’t like Donnie walking through the lair late at night

v When the weather gets bad or the tunnels are flooded around their home the teen makes the family pot roast stew and small sweet treats to cheer up her cabin fever ridden siblings always making plenty so they have tons of extras – as soon as the guys are busy she dishes up a few servings into several tuber wear bowls making sure they will survive the journey before slipping out of the home. Due to where he lives it’s hard for him to get out and find food once the seasons grow cold so the family tends to bring him groceries at least twice a month. Making her way through the overflowing tunnels to his home to be sure he’s fed – she’s sure to check and watch her back while wading through the deep water just in case he’s out finding the croc is always grateful for her caring thoughts and food

v They created a personal holiday where one day out of the year Mikey can’t pull pranks or be annoying – they also have on the same day where everyone has to prank one another and the loser actually does chores for a few months by themselves and Mikey usually loses

v When hurt of upset the teen shuts down – she never shows weakness and rarely cries in front of the family

v Being older brother’s each of the guys taught the human girl something personally even though she learned a lot by just watching them: Leonardo helps her one on one in the dojo to achieve her lessons faster if she’s having trouble while also teaching her to speak several different languages so if the need arises she can pull off any disguise and throw off enemies, Raphael even though told not to by their Master taught the girl to drive not only the garbage truck but to also operate a motorcycle before she was fifteen got in trouble then took to teaching her several fighting skills, Donnie being the educated turtle saw the curiosity the girl at a very young age and started teaching her several things from medical training so if he’s not around she could deal with injuries of all severities to honing her hacking skills until she is just as good as him, Michelangelo taught the girl how to swim and draw finding a hidden talent she possessed for awesome anime characters

v Even though the teen plays stupid around others she’s just as smart as her older brothers and acts as though she’s older then the turtles

v Raphael spends the most time next to Leonardo in the Ha’shi – Mikey is in close third whereas Donnie rarely gets sent into the room unless he’s in the middle of something with his brothers

v To stop Donatello from licking the icing off their pop tarts the young woman buys the genius coffee flavored so he will eat the entire thing practically abolishing his nasty habit but his brother’s still hide their breakfast items

v Raph has several tattoos including one for each of his family members

v The guys tend to go into a hibernated like state during the winter making it harder to wake them

v Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo get sick at least two times a year whereas Raphael is rarely ever sick but it was always easy to tell when they weren’t feeling well.

~ Mikey would act like he was completely helpless and whoever was taking care of him would practically have to do everything for him – he turns into a child that constantly needs cuddles.

~ Donatello was usually always sick since it seemed like his immune system was slightly weaker than the others, so he locks his self in the lab going over everything he could find on the internet thinking he had something that was worse than just a cold – in the end where he would only be down for a day or two it’s dragged out into a week-long ordeal.

~ Leonardo basically sleeps for hours as if Donnie would have drugged him; the oldest turtle becomes completely unresponsive to the world easily knocked out cold from the smallest illness so nothing disturbs him no matter how loud Mikey tries to be

~ Raphael, when he does manage to come down with something turns into that giant teddy bear he is on the inside becoming strangely affectionate and needy to any form of comfort the other’s will give him – so when he’s sick he curls up on the couch and nuzzles up to anyone that gets too close, usually it’s the girl who’s trying to take care of him

v Donnie having gotten tired of hearing the unpleased opinions of his brother’s about his eating habits and the unnecessary energy it takes to leaving the lab for drinks or food found and fixed up a refrigerator he keeps stocked with Soda’s and snacks

v Raphael and Mikey are the ones who do tattoos for the brothers

v Once a year the family goes up to the cabin in the mountains for a few weeks – two months at the most to train, recover, relax before heading back home

v Leo makes his own candles and takes great joy in making them for his Master

v Mikey although he can be messy is very organized, he likes to collect things – comics, action figures, manga, anime, you name it he likes it and has a place for everything in his room. So it may be messy but when he feels like it his room can be organized almost just as well as Leo’s

v Raphael actually had the teen help him make his Nightwatcher uniform without her ever knowing making her think it was for a Halloween party they were having

v Raven is fifteen when she starts to have nightmares and flashbacks remembering a life she never knew she had, remembering her mother, the details that wound her up in the sewers, faces and voices she doesn’t know seem so familiar but never tells her family

v Raven had been going out with the turtles for three years when her true bloodline was revealed to them, during a battle with the Foot Raven gets cornered by Shredder away from her family but just as the man is going to kill her he stops to look her over almost in shock before ordering his men to release her. he apologized for their rudeness referring to her as princess before he tells her of a life she doesn’t remember… her real name was Anastasia, of her mother who he took in off the streets and got her cleaned up of drugs, how he cherished the young woman… and was so happy to find out she could help him continue the clans bloodline

v It is then that he tells the teen she is the heir to the Foot clan and her mother was killed for kidnapping her and going on the run when it was revealed that she was to be raised as a deadly assassin that would someday take his place over the evil organization

v He literally comes out to tell the girl she was his daughter when she doesn’t believe him

v The simple fact of learning she is the offspring of their enemy destroys her and then she becomes hell bent on training so she can prove she’s nothing like the evil man and vows to disband the clan if she ever takes over it

v Leo didn’t like tea when he was a kid

v Mikey posts their music on YouTube having a whole hip-hop list him and the guys have done

v Raven even though she is a human has gotten into fist fights with Raphael

Didn't separate this time so hope you all enjoy

From Peter Laird’s blog, on the 2003 show, from one of the Flash Forward episodes that got canned http://peterlairdstmntblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/blast-from-past-537-february-13-2007-re.html

I’m gonna call bullshit on that right now.

A quarter of Leatherhead’s character is self-loathing. Especially in the Mirage/Image line. This is someone who hates his own size, someone who is distraught that he was too heavy for the teleporter that would take him to the Utrom homeworld and desperately wants to be reunited with them. Someone who felt a very real connection to his adoptive family and has never really been an “alligator” except in body and temperament. He was raised by Utroms, so intellectually, culturally, and mentally, there’s an issue. There’s already enough evidence to say that he’s got some dysmorphia going on.

So yeah. Give me a Leatherhead with a very unique body dysmorphia. Give me a Leatherhead that occasionally forgets that he’s not an Utrom. Give me a Leatherhead who hates that he can’t and will never stop growing and just wants to be small; he tries to find ways to force growing to stop, but they just prove dangerous; he hates how enormous his appetite has become to support his enormous body. Give me a Leatherhead who is terrified of hurting one of his adoptive family because of his sheer size and strength, and even before his devastating separation from them, was already getting anxious around them after realizing how big he was next to them. Give me a Leatherhead that snaps at the turtles (Donatello and/or Michelangelo) for not understanding his mentality and being confused as to why they don’t see themselves as rats like Splinter. Give me a Leatherhead who kind of knows about human body dysmorphia and feels even more like shit because his own dysmorphia seems petty next to what others are dealing with. Give me a Leatherhead who thinks he’s tiny and soft and round, instead of gigantic, hard, and long. Even his very hands and feet are bothersome to him; his tail is bothersome. But he’s also afraid of not having them, that even if he could find some way to have the body he wants, it would scare him to see himself like that. Everything would be wrong no matter what he does.

It seems like in some versions, he’s already a little ashamed of his size and strength, but they never go guns blazing with it. So yeah. Go guns blazing with the Leatherhead that was raised by Utroms.

And who said he could take over another Utrom’s body? He could very well be able to “grow” a body using genetic material from the Utroms he was closest to - or at the least the ones who had the strongest parental role for him. (IE: DR. XEINOS. GIVE ME MY GIRL) But first, he probably should be comfortable with the idea. Maybe by “practicing” with VR technology. And if there are alligator elements that he appreciates, he can just make an alligator exosuit. And even if he DID grow a body, it would be in a mostly-full grown form. He wouldn’t get the chance to grow up as an Utrom and have the infancy and childhood experiences that a regular Utrom would have. So in that aspect, he’d still feel like a “freak”.

So yeah, can we explore that side of Leatherhead? The one that hates the aspects of himself that separates him from his adoptive family? The primary one being that he’s a big fucking alligator?

(And while we’re at it, what if he even struggles with the name Leatherhead? Sure, it was cute while he was a tiny little unmutated baby, but as a full-sized adult, it just feels like a cutesy name for a pet, not an Utrom-brained mutant who’s got enough shit going on as it is)

Let it die.

Sooooo… as some of you know, 2k12!TMNT plans to end on their fifth season, and I say: LET IT DIE.

This cartoon has been disappointing me since my first months on Tumblr, when the third season finale was trending. And after the third season, things went downhill, but when I opened my eyes it was already too late because the fandom was DEAD (in both figurate and literal terms) after the third season finale, and I happen to have SO MUCH BEEF about it.

I’m extremely devoted and passionate about TMNT… but Nickelodeon is killing my interest and playing with my feelings as if they were some sort of modeling clay. There are so many reasons…!

Third Season Finale: This dick move is on the top of my list! This has NEVER EVER EVER happened in any of the incarnations there was! NEVER! Why kill Master Splinter and destroy the Earth?! Why?! What does all that shit adds up?! Tell me! I’m dying to know! As far as I am concerned, the Turtles plus Casey and April are NOT the Z-Warriors, let alone the Sailor Senshi to deal with something of that caliber! Why give them a burden that they cannot handle?! Why send them out to space?! Why send them to the scary and vast uncertainity of the unknown?!

RaMona: Ahhh, RaMona! A cute couple, right? WRONG. It was rushed as fuck. Like, they got together on Mona’s debut episode (the title was Moon of Thalos, if my memory serves). Hell, they even kissed! What the hell was happening on that episode? Was Raph on a mating season or something?! Why couldn’t he and Mona Lisa wait for the romance ACTUALLY bloom?! Where was the development between them?! Remember what Garnet says, kids: “Love at first sight DOESN’T exist. Love takes time. Love takes work.” And also, what the fuck is up with the lovechildren fanarts?! Raph’s not even 18, and Mona… well, I dunno how the fuck aging works for her kind, but still! Teenage pregnancy?! Fucking wrong and gross.

April O’ Neil: I love April in every incarnation, but sadly, I had to make an exception on this incarnation, as she always steals the spotlight with her powers… speaking of which, why the fuck make her half-Kraang? Why does she need powers? Why does she need to be at the same level as Steven (who’s half-Gem), Gohan (who’s half-Saiyan) and Keith (who’s half-Galra)?! Weren’t her kunouchi skills good enough? Why make her kill Donatello and why make her kill him in a Frieza-esque fashion? Why make her look “sexy” during the Space Arc? (have you seen the way Don and Casey were looking at her?! Ugh…)

Shock Value™: Pretty much self-explainatory. Why kill Master Splinter? Why kill Donatello? Why kill two characters who are vital for the franchise, are the main characters and can be seen on the Goddamn opening?! Wow, what a way to shoot yourselves on the foot, Nickelodeon. Bravo.

Love-interests: Why make almost every female character a love interest for the Turtles? It’s April, Karai, Renet, Mona Lisa… and why make the Turtles go ga-ga over them? Why make them weak in front of them? Doesn’t these girls have other talents and shit? Why make them desire objects for the protags? Hell, I even fear for Alopex; she might become a love interest for Raphael!

Raphael Hamato: This turtle’s being SPOILED! Let’s see what he has: A girlfriend, a friend, a new pet… you writers keep giving him all that shit, and he’ll become spoiled!

Neglect: What about Irma? What about Renet? And Rocksteady, Bebop, Leatherhead, and so many other characters and situations that are being thrown away in the trash? What about them, huh? The cartoon’s coming to a close, and you guys haven’t thought about them after the third season fiasco?

I say once again: LET IT DIE. Let this cartoon die.

It had everything to be great, but it was ruined because the writers wanted to be Extra™ and make it dark and gritty; like, I know that the 2k3 incarnation was gritty too, but MURDERING characters and DESTROYING planets?! That’s a pathetic attempt at being Cool & Edgy™ for the viewers. I hope the 2k18 incarnation will be way better than that! And for the next time, DON’T let Nickelodeon be in charge of it, please? They fucked everything up.

I’m gonna say this one more time:

LET. IT. DIE.

Podcast 2017

Épisode Spécial Halloween

Music « Shining Force II ~ Dwarf »

In the sewers of New York, turtles are preparing for the halloween party. Mikey is impatient for Mabel to bring some friends to meet them at Gravity Fall.

"I can not wait to see what Mabel's friends look like," Mikey thought.

"Michelangelo! Splinter said, calling his son "I can talk to you privately, please."

"Right away, Master Splinter," Mikey said, running to the dojo.

"You want to see me Sensei ? "

Mikey, my son when you were younger ...

"Hey, but you call me by my nickname! I believe that you call me by my first name Michelangelo "

Splinter tapped him with the stick

"Can I talk now? "

Mikey does not say anything

"Well, as I said, when you were younger, you dream of going door to door with your brothers. But I forbade you to go out into the sewers. People above, did not understand. Even if they thought you were disguised. That's how you had Halloween in the sewers.

"I know it was 3 years ago master" says Mikey

"Today you are going door to door with your brothers. 3 "

Mikey was very happy that Splinter allowed him to go out with his brothers. He kissed her on the face and went to see her brothers

Leo and Raph we find a dvd from the horror movie "Paranormal Activity 4"

"Mikey we're back," says Leo "and we find a horror movie"

Mikey ran in to his brothers and told them good news:

"Guys you know what? Master Splinter allows us to go out to New York City to go door to door. "

But Leo said to him:

"Mikey" he breathes "I'm sorry but, Halloween is for us"

Mikey was amazed:

"What? Halloween is passing? but why do you say that Leo ?! "...

"Because we are teenagers and we do not go door to door," said Raph

"We're getting you girls," said a familiar voice. The turtles looked and they saw Mabel with a Japanese girl and another huge girl. Mabel was happy to see her friends in disguise.

"Hi guys, I'll introduce you to my friends I met during the summer vacation in Gravity Falls," Mabel says.

"Mabel, are you your friends talking to us? Says the Japanese girl

"Absolutely, Candy. The girls I present Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and where is Donnie? Mabel asked.

"Donnie uh ... he's at April he's going to come to the bench at midnight," says Leo

Candy and the obese girl did not believe their eyes: "Mabel, this turtle speaks" when they heard the voice of the obese girl, Leo said to Mabel:

"Your girlfriend has a weird voice. She would not be sick? "Who, Grenda? Yes, but it's also my other best friend, "says Mabel," so you're ready to go? Leo and Raph looked at each other and said to them, "Sorry girls, we are teenagers and we do not do things like door to door, disguised where to throw eggs"

" Guys ! Mikey shouted "If you do not want to come with me, I'll go with the girls to go door to door! "

"Um Mikey," Mabel said, "do not you want to call Irma? Mikey had forgotten April's friend he phoned Irma with his tiphone

"Hello, Irma? Yes it's me Mikey. Look, do not you go door to door with me and the girls? At the end of the line, Irma in April's room replied:

"Sorry Mikey, maybe another time"

Mikey turns off his tiphone and tells the girls that Irma will not come to door to door. Mabel approached Mikey and said:

"Do not be sad, Mikey. And then there is Dipper, Irving, Clyde and Linky on our side "

Suddenly, they heard footsteps. Mikey runs to the entrance of the landmark with Mabel, Candy, Grenda and her brothers. They saw Leatherhead and Mondo Gecko on his back. Mikey and Mabel are happy to see them again

"Michelangelo" says the giant crocodile "it's nice to see you and you too Mabel"

"So these two creatures are your friends, Mikey? Asked Grenda

"Yes Grenda these are Mikey's friends. Leatherhead and Mondo, I introduce you to some friends I met during my vacation in Gravity Falls "she introduced them:" Leatherhead and Mondo here are my friends Candy and Grenda "

"I think your girlfriend Candy has a weird voice" says Gecko "It's Grenda not Candy" "Sorry. So guys, are you going to have a Halloween party with us? Leo and Raph explained to Mondo that they do not come with them for a party on the surface. Mondo tells them:

"Oh it does not matter we're going to have a walk around the little town to see if we're doing skateboarding. Go guys we're not going

They ran in front of the entrance, but Master Splinter intervened.

"Wait! You do not know who you have to do”

"Oh you must be their majors," said Candy

" Yes. But I'll have to talk to my son. "He approached Mikey and said," Mikey, take care. You do not have to do to the ninjas, Jeremy's henchmen or the purple dragon, but children who will ask you if you wear a suit "

"Do not worry, master I'll be careful. And then there is Leatherhead »

"Sorry Michelangelo, I do not come with you," said Leatherhead, "and then ... someone has to watch Splinter and your brothers"

"Oh, it's serious. Good luck guys, "said Grenda and they left the Hamato clue.

In Lincoln's house, Lincoln, Clyde, Irving, Marc, and Dipper waited for Mabel, Mikey, and the others to go door-to-door. Suddenly someone opened the door to enter it was Father Lincoln and he said to the children, "So you're leaving? "

No, dad not now. We're waiting for Mabel, "said Lincoln. Suddenly, they see a silhouette in the distance. It was Mabel and the others. Mabel approached Dipper and said, "That's Dipper, mission accomplished. We bring Mikey and Mondo to Lincoln and oh good evening Mrs Loud, nice day you can not find? "

"Lincoln, who are these guys? These are your friends? asked Lynn Sr.

"Yes, dad it's my friends Michelangelo and Mondo gecko" says Lincoln

"And pretty children's costume"

"Uh, if I'm going to allow these are not disguises, but mutant Mrs Loud" says Dipper

"Mutants ?! "

"Yes, Mrs we are mutants," says Mikey

"And they speak more ?! "

"Yes, but daddy, do not be afraid they are not mean they are with ..."

"Goongala! A familiar person shouted "Oh hi guys what are you doing? "

Lincoln said, "Oh Hi Casey, we were finally waiting for you" so Casey asked himself, "Wait where is Leatherhead and Fan number 13?" "

Mikey says to him, "Leatherhead stayed in the landmark with my brothers and Fan 13 is at April"

Lynn Sr asked herself a question "wait, two second time out. You know each other ? So tell me how are you met? "

"Dad," says Lincoln, "my friends and I will explain everything in my room"

In front of Lincoln's house, Albert, his mother, John and the others saw strange creatures entered the house of Loud

"Mom, I told you there is one of the ninja turtles in the house of Loud. Come, before he gets out of bed "but his mother says to him:

"Albert, please stop with your stories about mutant turtles that make ninjustsu. It does not exist ! All this in your head! "Your mother thinks you're watching a movie or series or playing Metal Gear Solid V with me, Thompson, Squeezie, Wendy and Alice or ..."

"Shut up! John "

"Sorry," John said

come on mom, come in and you'll see that I told you so, "said Albert. They entered the house and they saw people. Wendy heard noises coming from the first in the room. They went up the stairs, Albert opened the door and they saw Lincoln, his father, his brother and the others talking with Mikey and Mondo:

"Oh, uh ... hi Mom and Albert ... so how cool was your evening? "

"Irving kind of bastard ..."

"Albert Du Bois! Said his mother angry "watch your language when you talk to your brother! "

"Calm down Mrs du Bois, it's not your son's fault, it's our fault," said Mikey. Nathalie when she heard this creature speak, she shocked. But his son and there to tell him

"Listen mom, these creatures are Lincoln's friends. The turtle is Michelangelo and the gecko is Mondo »

"So if I'm allowing Michelangelo to a name of Italian?”

"Not at all, Mrs Du Bois," said Clyde

Music “Inside the Castle - Mario Party 3 Music Extended”

After a top secret discussion, Nathalie Du Bois began to understand:

"Ah, if I understood correctly, it was Michelangelo's father who gave him that name? "

"Exactly," says Mabel

"And he can do ninjutsu? Asked Lynn sr

"You just saw Mr Loud," said Albert

"Well, we have to go," said John, "we're going to watch a horror movie with Kirbendo and Mousse"

"And what are you planning for food? Asked Grenda

"Well," Wendy said, "popcorn, coca sherry, sweets, mars chocolate bars and pizzas"

When she said the word pizza, Mikey stunned, "Did you say the magic word? "

"Popcorn? "

" No "

"March chocolate bars? "

" After that "

" Pizzas ? "

" Right answer ! Mikey shouted

"Do you love pizza? Lynn said, "yes! Pepperoni pizzas "says Mikey

"Uh, sorry for spoiling your party at this time, but we should skate in the city," Casey said. He took Lincoln, Mikey and the others and headed for the exit.

Arriving at the exit, Marc tells them "Sorry, guys. I'm going to see Raph Leo and Donnie again ... "

"He's at April," Mabel says

"OK good guys guys and be careful before crossing the road"

But in a car, Tiger Claw, Fishface, Razhar, Bebop, Pyronica, Gideon Rocksteady and Jeremy watched the kids:

"Are we following them Tiger Claw? Says Fishface

"No, wait," said Jeremy, "we're not going to follow them like this! Otherwise, their parent will think that we are no spy »

"So what are we doing," says Razhar

"We follow them, but turn around"

Bebop, back off the car and rolled

"Hi darling and happy halloween," says Rita

"Happy halloween too dear," says Lynn Sr.

Lisa asked herself a question:

"Dad, tell me, you would not have seen Lincoln? "

" No I do not know. Maybe he left with his friends in the city to go door-to-door with his friends, "says Lynn

" Ok I see. Well ... we have to go see you later dad, "says Leni.

"They did not notice that Lincoln went skateboarding with Michelangelo and Mondo," thought Lynn Sr.

"Ah, I know where Lincoln is! He's gone to ride! Said Lola

Lynn Sr was shocked.

"No, he's probably at Irving," says Lana

"Unless he's at Dipper's and Mabel's," says Lucy

"Okay girls go to Dipper and Mabel or Irving," Rita said, and she went to the garden to prepare the decor

Lincoln sisters split into two groups Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan go to Dipper and Mabel, while Lynn and Lucy go to Irving.

"Can someone open for me? I'm going to the kitchen to call Bled'art, "Albert said and went into the kitchen. John volunteered and opened the door and he saw Lori, Leni, Luan and Luna. Leni asked him:

"Hi John, do you know where Linky is? "

"Ah, I see," said Lori, "Happy Halloween John," and he closed the door and sat down between Alise and Robbie. Albert came out of the kitchen and asked John:

" Who was it ? "

"It was Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan" says Jean "They asked me if Linky is here"

Callie Reviews: TMNT 2012 Season 2 (Part Two)

Continuing from Part One

The Shift (Episodes 15-18)

After a silly filler episodes that you LARP-ers will probably enjoy, the plot continues in I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman. Finally fed up with Stockman’s incompetence, Shredder triggers the mutagen collar and Stockman is turned into a fly mutant. But he gets the idea to mutate himself with... I really don’t fully understand the plan. To put it simply, he plans to kidnap April due to her unique DNA and have them mutated together to restore his humanity. Such a sound and totally not insane plan!

So part of the season has had Donnie trying to develop a retro-mutagen, a mutagen antidote that will revert the person back into a human. He finally succeeds and has two batches, one for April’s dad and the other or Splinter. The gang goes to get April’s dad, leading to Stockman finding them and kidnapping April. Although April tries to escape, even whacking Stockman with her tessen, she ultimately tied over the mutagen. One of the vials got broken, so Splinter tells Donnie to use the one that’s left to cure Kirby. As Leo, Donnie, and Casey go to save April, Raph and Mikey are sent to find and capture Kirby.

While April does get dunked into the mutagen, as it turns out due to her DNA she is immune to the effects. So since that plan failed, and really? Did we expect Stockman’s B-rated horror movie plan to work? But yeah, Stockman tries to steal the retro-mutagen with Rhazar soon joining the party! They all escape and meet up with Raph and Mikey, April calming down her father. But Stockman manages to steal the mutagen, forcing a huge aerial chase to get it. Which let me just say that April is awesome this episode. When the vial gets stolen, she rounds up her dad and Casey and goes after it. The vial ends up broken, but like Hell April is going to give up the chance of saving her dad after all the shit form before. She manages to get her dad below it as it drips and he reverts back to normal. Also once she gets freed after being mutagen dunked, she kicks Stockman’s ass hard. Seriously, this episode did a MUCH better job at presenting April as a badass who deserves to fight alongside the Turtles ten times better than The Kraang Conspiracy did.

So yeah, Kirby is unmutated, yay! But Donnie’s now fresh out of retromutagen. He feels guilty as now he can’t restore Splinter’s humanity, but Splinter makes it clear that he has come to terms with his mutant status and is happy as long as he has his sons. Stockman is brought before Shredder, who has decided to give him one last chance. There is a certain mutant that he wants, and tasks Stockman with creating it for him.

Speaking of the Foot, we return to the Karai story in The Wrath of Tiger Claw where the kunoichi is having doubts about everything. We also have Tiger Claw return... so what was the point of having the worm swallow him? Anyways, Shredder has him and Karai make a move against the Turtles. After beating intel out of their friend Murakami, Tiger Claw attacks Casey while Karai confronts April. She claims that she doesn’t want to fight, even thinking of turning on Shredder. When Leo and Donnie show up, Leo decides to do what is by no means a bad decision: take Karai to the Lair without questioning if this could be a trap at all! Our fearless leader everyone! Yeah, this is all a ploy by Karai to find the location and she has a tracker so that Tiger Claw will follow suit.

However with Karai there, Splinter brings her into the dojo and shows her a photo of himself and Tang-Shen. A photo that Karai herself has. When she sees the family portrait, it hammers the revelation in further. She cant believe it, which confuses Leo, so she reveals that it was a trap. But yeah, now Karai has physical evidence, so she now knows the truth. She and the Turtles get out of the sewers and to a butcher shop to lead Tiger Claw away and proceed to fight. Mikey end sup pretty badly beaten up as Karai cements her turn of alligence. Agreed, Tiger Claw knocks her out and takes her back to face Shredder. With Mikey’s injuries, the Turtles can't follow and Raph makes it clear that despite all of this, he still doesn’t trust Karai. Leo is angered by all of this, but ultimately there’s nothing that he can do.

Karai is brought before Shredder, Tiger Claw revealing her aiding the Turtles. Angered, Karai asks Shredder to tell ehr the truth. So Shredder does just that, revealing that yes, Splinter is her real father. This murders the last bit of lingering doubt in Karai’s mind. So what does Shredder do now that all of his lies are out on the table? He has Tiger Claw throw his so-called ‘daughter’ in the dungeon below! Father of the Year everyone! Oh, but you think all of this is bad! HA! Oh just wait. JUST WAIT.

The Revelations (Episodes 19-24)

We get three filler episodes after that. The first one is stupid and not worth mentioning other than that I hate it. One involving an arms dealer named Ivan Steranko (who we saw last season in Enemy of My Enemy) and a Tron-esque thief named Anton Zeck. They try to steal Shredder’s helmet, the Turtles get invovled, and Leo tries to use this to bargain for Karai. It fails. Remember those guys names though, it’ll be important next season. The other one is a Kraang plot where Raph gets his mind switched with a Kraang. A fun episode, especially since we get to hear Sean Astin have to talk Kraang-like and it is hilarious. But the episode ends with Raph revealing that the Kraang are about to start another invasion and Donnie revealing a plan for something he’s making to fight back: a mecha!

We return to the Karai plot with her trying to escape, but she sadly gets re-captured. Shredder, in both this and the previously menitoned episode abotu his helmet, has tried to tell Karai thing slike he was trying to do what was best for her or that how she’s acting is hurting him. You know... like an abuser would talk to someone. The Turtles have mad ea plan, but Splinter has forbidden it as he refuses to lose any of his other kids. Leo goes through with it anyways and it does work. They’re able to break Karai out, fight through the Foot, and get back to the Lair safely. Shredder... takes this surprisingly well. Why? Because he knwos that Karai is going to come back of her own volition to get payback. Of course you would you sick fuck, you raised her to be that way. God I hate Shredder...

Anyways, Splinter reveals to Karai the full story of what actually happened, including his relationship with Shredder. As it turns out, the Hamato Clan had wiped out the Oroku Clan, but Splinter’s father took pity on young Saki and adopted him into the clan. So Splinter and Shredder were raised as brothers, but things got tense when Splinter got together with Tang-Shen, who Shredder has been with previously, and when Shredder discovered his true heritage. Angered and fulled by vengeance, he and Splinter fought, but Tang-Shen sacrificed herself and took a lethal blow to save her lover. Shredder came out of it disfigured and during the chaos, stole the baby away, lying to her the ame way that the Hamato’s did.

Learning this on top of everything else, Karai decides to go back and personally finish Shredder. Leo finds out... and asks to go with her, also wanting to put an end to it. Wow Leo, so responsible there... Karai responds by knocking him out. She goes back and she and Shredder have one heck of a brawl, but ultimately Karai gets pinned and Shredder has her taken to Stockman’s lab. Why? Well remember that mutant that he asked Stockman to make Well it involves using Snake DNA in Stockman’s large vat to lure the Turtles in and mutate them into snakes. What do snakes like to eat? Why rats of course! Yeah, Shredder plans to mutate Splinter’s sons and have them devour him. Wow... wow. Does this man have ANY limit to how sick he can be?! Of course not because he ties Karai over it to serve as bait! There is NO WAY that THAT could go wrong in ANY WAY possible!

The Turtles and Splinter arrive and all but Leo get caught. He reaches Karai... but Shredder attacks him and severs the link. Karai is sent into the vat, turning into a snake mutant. Oh and on top of all of that, a fire gets ignited! So Shredder had kidnapped, lied to, and emotionally abused a young girl, threatened her with violence if she didn’t obey, locked her up when the truth came out, tried to paint himself as the victim when she was understandably pissed off, he used her as bait, and because of his own blind arrogance he got her mutated. SO who’s to blame for this? Why Splinter of course! OF COURSE! Shredder swears to avenge his daughter and I just want to break things. Splinter is able to break through to Karai and she flees. As Stockman’s building burns down, Leo apologizes to Splinter... but all Splinter says is that they should go.

One small note I have to make. When Stockman was preparing the DNA, he split something and it got mixed in. Thus creating a rather unique mutation. One that allows Karai to shift back into her human form, huh...

The penultimate episode, Into Dimension X, has the Turtles receive a message from someone we haven't heard from in over 20 episodes. My friends, Leatherhead is back! He tries to contact the Turtles via communication orb to warn them of the Kraang’s plans... but Mikey gets upset and breaks the orb. They also get a working portal for Dimension X and desperate to save his friend, Mikey stupidly goes in alone. It forces the other three to go in to find him, and kudos to the animation team. Dimension X both looks and feels totally alien. Most of the environment is crystallized and there are these strange little alien creatures. Add in the pink sky and it feels like a place the Kraang would come from.

So as it turns out, Mikey had become... very adapt to how Dimension X works due to his bizarre train of logic. TO out it simply, he understands Kraang logic mroe than regular logic. The Turtles get into the Kraang’s base, rescue Leatherhead, and discover that the Kraang, after nearly two seasons of trying, have perfected the mutagen. Thy can now use it to turn the Earth into a second Dimension X. While the guys cause some damage before getting back home, it is more clear than ever that the invasion is near. But it’s okay! Our boys are ready to face whatever comes at them! They can handle this, right?

Ha... haha... HAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I’LL LET THAT SPEAK FOR ITSELF.

But yeah, we now enter the Season Two finale. This is actually both my favorite episode of the season and my favorite in the entire series. It’s one of the best-written, but... also the most depressing. Like this episode left me numb by the end. Why? Well let us go into...

The Invasion (Episodes 25-26)

Desperate to get Karai back, Shredder once more makes a deal with the Kraang. They help him get what he wants, and he helps them get what they want. So once again, Shredder decides to leave humanity to suffer all for his own needs. You see why I hate this monster?!

April and Irma get attacked by Foot Bots and unable to evade them, April is forced to take Irma to the sewers with her. Raph and Casey are on the lookout for Karai, but that gets cut short when the cops show up and try to arrest Casey. As it turns out, these are Kraang posing as humans. Worst? Raph sees Kraang portals opening and the Kraang dishing out everything that they have. UFO’s, robotic fleets, giant walker-things straight out of Star Wars. Casey is able to get free and overwhelmed, he and Raph are forced to try and find cover.

Down in the sewers, Donnie and Leo are arguing over the best course of action to take. Donnie wants to put his faith in the Turtle Mech, confident that it’ll dot he job despite still having kinks to work out. Leo however is concerned about if things could go wrong and wants to establish a second base outside New York. April arrives with Irma, who is taken back... before her body changes and reveals that she is a robot... UMM... so yeah, Irma was actually Kraang Sub-Prime, who was trying to work form within to weasel out the location of the Lair. Now that he has it, the Kraang open portals and attack. The gang gets quickly over-whelmed so Splinter orders the Turtles and April to flee. They head into the tunnels with Leo choosing to stay behind and fend off the Kraang droids chasing them while Donnie, Mikey, and April escape back to the surface.

Everything has devolved into chaos quickly. Raph and Casey are trying to evade the Kraang’s forces. Donnie, Mikey, and April flee to the O’Neil’s apartment where they watch the chaos unfold and poor Kirby has essentially a panic attack. Poor April feels guilty for it all due to bringing Irma to the Lair, even offering to go out and bring the boys to safety herself. Leo gets to the surface, but the Foot have spotted him and Shredder sends all of his forces after him. Splinter is able to defeat SUb-Prime, but the Lair is in utter ruins. But he has little time to grieve as he still has his sons to find. To make things worst, Kraang Prime emerges and launches mutagen all over the city, mutating everything and everyone hit with it. So yeah... things are NOT looking good.

Leo eventually ends up at a construction site where Shredder is waiting. Leo tries to make him fight him, but Shredder refuses as Leo is ‘beneath him’. Instead, he sends more Foot Bots and poor Leo is just getting pushed to his limits here. He’s under a lot of stress and pressure at this moment, and the constant attacks are not helping. He bests the Foot Bots in a... pretty brutal fashion that makes you really glad that he’s dicing and stabbing Foot Bots and not actual soldiers. Shredder has Rhazar, Fishface, and Tiger Claw attack him, provoking Leo to devolve to blind fury and kick their asses. But at this point, the leader in blue is exhausted, worn down, and not thinking clearly which leaves him vulnerable to Shredder, who casts the final, and most lethal, blow.

Shredder has his men take Leo away as he finds Splinter, who is NOT happy with the evidence that something happened to his son. Shredder responds by saying that he took Leo just like he took Karai all those years ago. This pisses Splinter off for VERY understandable reasons and they fight. Meanwhile, Raph and Casey finally make it to the apartment, but the relief is short-lived. Leo gets tossed through the window, knocked out and brutally beaten up. The Foot attack, forcing the group to escape. Kirby leads them to his old van they they try to escape in, but Kirby get shit with mutagen before he can tag along. Kraang Prime totally did that just to spite April. Asshole. The group flees in the van. Splinter and Shredder continue to brawl, but Splinter eventually gets trapped under some graters. Fortunately he earlier met up with Leatherhead, who jumps into the fray to save him. Unfortunately, while t works, Shredder gets the upper hand and knocks him into the icy waters. Splinter gets so pissed that he, by sheer force of will, knocks the grates away and tackles Shredder back into the sewers. All while trying to essentially bite his face off. DAMN.

Donnie, Raph, Mikey, and April go back to the Lair to find Splinter as they leave Leo with Casey, who goes to find his family. Spoiler alert: he sadly fails. The Lair is an utter wreck and realizing that they can't stay, Donnie has the guys round up supplies and anything significant before going to find Splinter and get out of the city. It’s a... really somber scene. The Lair is where we have spent the past two years. It wasn't just the Turtles home, it was ours in a way too. I Bremen seeing it trashed for the first time and I was just... crying. Mind you they make the bad choice of having them fix it u next season, which I think was dumb because it negates the emotional significance played up in this moment and potential growth for the cast. But for this moment? It was... hard. Really hard.

April soon senses that Splinter is in trouble and the four venture into the tunnels, discovering that Splinter is still fighting Shredder. The tunnel is caged off however, so they can’t reach him. Splinter gives it his all, even using the same airbending-like maneuver that he used in I. Monster on Shredder. But unfortunately, it fails. Shredder get sup, knocks Splinter out form behind, and literally flushes Splinter away. All while three of his sons and his surrogate daughter are forced to watch helplessly. Raph is enraged, angrily pulling and bating at the bars as Shredder walks away. Mikey eventually hugs Raph to calm him down, assuring him that somehow Splinter will be okay. April, enraged, tells Donnie that they can't run. They need to stay and end this here and now.

Their decision made, the four get the Turtle Mech and fight through the Kraang to reach the Foot. But they never get the chance to face Shredder again as Kraang Prime takes them on. They give it their best, even using the city’s power to use a powerful electrical attack n Prime that knocks out the city power grid. But even that proves futile and even fries the systems as Kraang Prime simply exits his robot suit and attacks personally. The only thing that saves them is April using her powers and Casey arriving to ram Prime back. They all flee formt he city, Donnie apologizing to the still comatose Leo for not listening. April hs a place where they can go, a farmhouse in North Hampton, but it does little to raise anyone’s spirits. The Turtles, for the first time, have completely and utterly lost.

As for Splinter, he is left in the city. But fortunately he is saved form drowning by, of all people, Karai. She doesn't stick around, but Thank God that we have something good happen cause Dear God did we need it! YEAH THIS EPISODE STILL HURTS EVEN FOUR YEARS LATER!

TBC in Part Three...
