kind of hard to take a lot of the people claiming to be antifascist anarchists seriously when a solid chunk of them seem to think not wanting the state to exist means they are no longer in the reality where it currently exists.

I'm not really into this fandom anymore, but I'm STILL REBLOGGING IT ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!

Guys trust it's a good movie. You may not like the show, but the movie is infinitely better because it's way more serious and dark compared to the show. What's crazy is that Leo was actually supposed to DIE in this movie originally, but he didn't because of one thing: Hope. Which is US FANS!!!! Like literally, I always saw the symbolism in this movie as Nickelodeon trying to cancel RiseTMNT.

Kraang=Nickelodeon

Hope=Fans

Turtles(mainly Leo)=RiseTMNT show

If it wasn't for us, then Leo would've quite literally died in this movie, just like the show could've died, but technically it didn't. From what I know, it is seemingly "ON PAUSE." Sooo yeah, go watch it on Netflix. If you don't want to, then at least give it a like. Two likes. The double thumbs up please!

MILD SPOILERS START HERE!!!

Honestly, last year I used to LOVE this movie. I would think about it everyday, jot down concepts that I want to draw and only draw 10% of those ideas ;) I wouldn't say I have a favorite turtle(at least in Rise, in 2012 that's Mikey) but I hated how weirdly underrated Rise!Raph was in his OWN fandom. So most of my TMNT thoughts were mainly about him because he needs some love :(

Believe it or not, I didn't watch the season 2 finale. I couldn't because I don't have Paramount Plus. But I pretty much know what happened. I honestly still think it was downright FOUL that Splinter decided to make Leo leader and replace Raph.

Imagine practically being a big brother/second parent to three younger brothers(two of them desiring for approval and recognition) and taking care of them while your dad goes through a depressive spell and automatically being enrolled leader because you're the oldest, only to be really bad at it and have all of that pressure on you to do better to protect your family or else they'll all end up dead and you'll be alone forever, so you sacrifice yourself FOUR TIMES(maybe more, read the tags if you don't know) and then you actually DO better around the end of season 2 along with having reassurance that you aren't alone and then they "Anata wa hitori janai'ed" that bitch Shredder and they save the city and your leader skills have finally improved and you were finally do good............but NOO. Then your neglective(but trying) dad then decides to swap your leader role with your younger brother LEO with NO EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER. I'm honestly surprised he wasn't way angrier with Leo after that. The only reason he gets mad in the movie is because Leo isn't taking "Anata wa hitori janai" seriously(basically he doesn't want to work as a team) Raph actually wasn't mad at him for taking his role, and that takes MAD PATIENCE. Guess he's called a MadDog for a reason.

But let's be honest, it makes perfect sense why Leo was chosen as leader. Sure, he's a jokester and takes situations lightly, but at times, he was shown to have WAY more leadership qualities than Raph did such as quick planning and keeping calm under pressure, which were two things Raph ABSOLUTELY struggled with. And another thing is that Splinter noticed these qualities in Leo, especially in S1 Finale/ S2E1, and knew he was leader potential. As for Raph, well... it's been a while since I saw the show, but I assume he only saw the worst of his leader moments. And most importantly, he didn't see Raph's breakdown in the S2 finale where he literally did an emotional trustfall off of a cliff. So these factors inclined him to choose Leo as the leader(in the worst way possible).

Besides, Leo IS leadership potential, but he has no confidence in himself. Despite his humourous exterior which makes him appear overconfident and cocky, he really has no faith in himself. And he doesn't think he's a worthy edition to the team. So when Splinter elects him as leader, even he is surprised by his choice. And ever since that, he's been trying to do stuff his way, and alone, so that he can finally proof himself worthy of a leader, and as a creature. Problem is, that actually makes everything WORSE especially since the S2 finale's message was about TEAMWORK. "Anata wa hitori janai"= "You are not alone." And Leo just ignores all of that. And it bites him back in the shell in the worst way possible in the movie.

I want to talk about Mikey and Donnie and the movie, but I wrote WAYYYY too much and I have stuff to do. So yeah, give this show it's recognition!

Hey RISE FAM! Time to join the event!

Watch the movie! Post about it! TODAY IS THE DAY! Spam the hashtags! Let’s confuse Netflix AND Nickelodeon and show them that the show is NOT going down without a fight! Shell yeah!
