(Season 1, Episode 24B - Jupiter Jim Ahoy!)

[riseepshowdown]

Battle Nexus: New York: After Big Mama traps all the New Yorkers in a magic orb and uses the city as her new Nexus arena, the turtles must fight alongside their enemies to save everyone they love. Meanwhile, Splinter, April, Draxum, and Foot Recruit must find a way out of the orb to help the turtles.

Jupiter Jim Ahoy!: The turtles are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet their idol, Jupiter Jim/Marcus Moncrief. But soon, it becomes apparent that he's not all there in the head…

[icy-watch]

Donnie, you can find out who also has a mint condition comic and swap theirs for yours.

That’s what all the ninja training has been for, right?

Rewatching Rise makes me notice a lot of things but one thing is just how. Much of an asshole Leo is!!!

Like I've seen things abt how ppl think he's OOC in the movie bc of how much of an ass he is but... like, 60% of Rise wouldn't have happened if Leo wasn't a douche. Of the top of my head, theres:

Pizza puffs, Air Turtle, Flushed but Never Forgotten, Lair Games, Shell in a Cell, You got served, Bad Hair Day, Sidekick Ahoy!, Down With The Sickness, Minotaur Maze, The Gumbus (kinda), Jupiter Jim Ahoy!, and Many Unhappy Returns

Leo is snippy, refuses to listen, is often hurtful, etc etc. I'm also probs forgetting some like.

Ain't no way yall ever thought Leo was nice. Most 'nice' things he does are self-serving at best like. Be REALLLLLLLL. And that's such an amazing part of his character. He has self worth issues, and he's toxic because of them. It's realistic and I love it

[our-happygirl500-fan]

Okay we all know that Leo loves his brothers more than anything, he has literally tried to sacrifice himself for his brothers multiple times & we were all there for the ‘I’m nothing without them’ line

But I feel like we also should acknowledge the part of Leo’s relationship with his brothers that is just, Leo’s brother’s annoying him until he nearly gets a migraine. 

Everyone always places Leo as the annoying sibling but Rise Leo has to deal with his brothers raising his blood pressure just as much as any other Leo does.

Raph: Good thing we didn’t do Leo’s idea of being afraid of spiders! Ha!

Leo: I don’t know I still don’t trust her!

Raph: HA! In your face!

Raph: HA! In your face! And yours! And yours! And yours again!

Yes Raph loves his brothers very much, he takes care of them & looks out for them ect He also teases & makes fun of them relentlessly & Leo is his primary target for said teasing. In the traditional Raph VS Leo fashion Raph has made countless jokes at Leo’s expense & when he’s teasing his brothers in the episode Sidekick Ahoy! He literally rubs getting the Jupiter Jim sidekick position in Leo’s face twice.

Leo: Then give us ice for our horribly mangled bodies!

Donnie: ... It melted

Donnie: Sheldon needs time to recharge before firing his anti- turtle ray

Leo: Why is that a ray Donnie!?

Leo: You turned a cuddly animatronic bear into a psychotic robot bent on destroying us? No? Got April fired? Hmm? Nothing?

Donnie: That does not sound like me

I’m pretty sure that Leo is a vast majority of Donnie’s impulse control there are countless times when Donnie’s first instinct is over the top violence & Leo is the first one to pull him back but if that wasn’t enough to deal with Donnie has a tendency for trying to avoid admitting wrong doing as well just deciding he’s going to make Leo’s day a bit more difficult sometimes.

Leo: So when she kept growing that wasn’t a clue to stop screaming?

Mikey: Sorry, but hopefully Raph heard me

Leo: Astronauts heard you!

Leo: This is not a compatition!

Mikey: Says the guy with zero unicorns.

 Leo loves Mikey, he’s probably Mikey’s biggest supporter & Mikey loves & looks up to Leo so much but as emotionally mature as Mikey can be sometimes, Mikey is still the youngest of his brothers which means there are times where he acts immature & either doesn’t read the situation correctly & puts himself & his brothers in danger or he doesn’t take the situation seriously & makes things more difficult. Either way it gives Leo a lot of stress to deal with.

Leo: Come on! Come on! Come on! Help us fight these guys!

Mikey: No! I want a refill on my coconut!

Raph:  Take us back to Tahiti!

Donnie: More Tahiti!

Leo loves his brothers, he is literally willing to give his life for them on multiple occasions & they are the people he trusts & believes in most but in a true sibling fashion they are also a constant source of stress for Leo. Just because Leo isn’t the oldest in Rise does not mean that his brothers aren’t constantly raising his blood pressure.

Raph and Leo Analysis: Hot Potato BrainCell

Thinking about it, Bug Busters and Jupiter Jim Ahoy! were parallel situations for Leo and Raph. They were the only brother that voiced concerns about following a charming but suspicious stranger into their headquarters, were both ignored, and ultimately proven correct for their wariness and had to go rescue their family. What’s even more ironic was that their concerns were blown off specifically by each other in those episodes.

Obviously, this was a result of Raph and Leo being well-written complex characters with amazing contradictions (and the differing variables), but I wanted to understand the specific mechanics and rules behind their game of hot potato with the brain cell.

(long post!)

A pattern that I’ve come to see looking at different moments of “common sense” for Leo is that they’re all instances of him being worried for the safety of his loved ones. The most well known examples, found in this post that the majority of the fandom has seen (therefore I can avoid rehashing them all), are all Leo just trying to keep his family safe. Some additional moments are when Leo asks if sticking Splinter in a plastic ball is cruel or not in Down With the Sickness [15:51], him being the only one worried about the by Albeartos in Al Be Back [16:11], and when Leo remarked that it’s kind of messed up to use Donnie’s game addiction against him in The Purple Game [18:00]. Occasionally, Leo’s concerns even spread to people he didn’t know, like with Bullhop in Bug Busters, and when he asked April if she still had the orb holding the people of New York in Finale Part 3: Anatawa Hitorijinai [6:35]. Outside of that, Leo has the exact same batshit, reckless decision making skills as the rest of his brothers. (Should I even list examples--?) Air Turtle (bought the obviously demonic bridge), Clothes Don’t Make The Turtle (he pushed all his brothers into a pit without a plan because he was so excited), Bad Hair Day (agreed to grow hair to get into a discriminatory retreat instead of, I don’t know--getting a wig), The Evil League of Mutants (willingly went to New Jersey), Flushed But Never Forgotten (tried to replace his brothers with googly eyed rocks), and so forth. Leo being reasonable is Leo being worried, displaying a level of understanding and tact that the rest of his brothers kinda skip over. His common sense is from his protectiveness and care.

However, there are times where Leo’s common sense/worry gets pushed to the side when Leo pursues an agenda. Pizza Puffs, Minotaur Maze, and The Gumbus are some examples. It’s also what happened in Jupiter Jim Ahoy!, where Leo dismissed Raph’s desire to leave Moncrief’s house because he wanted to hang out with one of his favorite movie star heroes (and avoid Splinter). Even though Leo is shown to have a healthy sense of stranger danger, his worry was overridden by the allure of a real life Jupiter Jim.

Raph’s general good sense is similarly powered by his love and worry for his family. However it’s also powered by responsibility; not only as the oldest brother, but as a hero to New York City. Out of the rest of his brothers, it’s clear Raph is the most dedicated to the duty of protecting people. It’s why situations like Pizza Puffs (the mission chart), and The Longest Fight occur. It’s also why he’s the one that repeatedly gets his brothers to focus on the fight, like in the hypnosis in Clothes Don’t Make a Turtle [15:32]. However, being responsible and worried isn’t exactly the same thing as making reasonable decisions. Raph’s dedication to hero work can sometimes turn on him, make him too excitable to make sensible choices. It’s why he was chill with going after the spine-breaking/mangling bad guys for the Mad Dogs’ first mission, or create the whole FAB situation in Stuck On You, or immediately begin fighting the Foot Clan in Mystic Library [6:32], or why his solution to The Mutant Menace problem was to go outside and “‘smack people in the face with good deeds!’” [12:22]. Raph’s eagerness to being a hero can occasionally push him to behave rashly. (Kind of like his anger.) This is what happened in Bug Busters, where Raph got so swept up with the concept of catching the oozequitoes, of Big Mama’s help assisting him to do better hero work, that he completely dismissed Leo’s concerns surrounding Big Mama’s motives [7:45]. Admittedly, Leo’s suspicions is also due to him just being better at reading people, but Raph’s complete dismissal of his concerns shows that he was being stubborn around the subject too. Conversely, in Jupiter Jim Ahoy! Raph’s protectiveness over his brothers was greater than his love for Jupiter Jim, which fell in line with his responsible nature as the big brother, making him be the reasonable brother for that episode.

And that’s how A-team played hot potato with the brain cell.

oh god I didn't even touch on the movie at all wow.

[torturedblue]

Just thinking about how some of the mistakes that Raph makes when Leo advised him otherwise, he actually follows later…

Like in Bug Busters, Leo’s warning Raph and the guys of stranger danger over and over with Big Mama but he doesn’t listen

Then in Jupiter Jim Ahoy Raph’s the only one who isn’t blinded by his starstruckness and realizes how weird it is that Marcus Moncrief was inviting them to his house

Another example, in Many Unhappy Returns Raph’s extremely against Leo’s idea to split up to fight The Shredder and ask Big Mama for help (like bad mouthing Leo for multiple consecutive scenes against it)

But then in E-Turtle Sunrise of the Spotless Mind when Lou Jitsu is attacking them in Splinter’s mindscape, Raph has the idea to split up so the others can fight off Lou and he can find out the secret to defeating Shredder by himself

I think Leo and his leader skills might’ve been secretly rubbing off on Raph 🤔

This is a condensed version of one I made on Reddit (removing the essentials list, an alternate episode order, explanation of episode placement, etc), in case anyone sees any similarity between this post and that one. I'm confident that season 1's first half (at least everything before Bug Busters) is in a suitable order, but the second half is definitely up in the air about where the episodes go. Leave any comments if you notice something is out of order.

Those are real weapons.

Ok. Time to leave.

[indieyuugure]

What would you like to see more explored in Rise?

Be it a discarded idea or your own idea

Just curiosity

Well, I had these ideas for two Rise episodes, one in season 1 and the other in season 2. The episodes are titled “The Cloaking Broach” and “Return of the Cloaking Broach.”

Essentially the premise of the first episode(which would be between s1 ep38 and ep39) is that there’s a Jupiter Jim convention, but after the events of “Jupiter Jim Ahoy!” All Jupiter Jim conventions have a “no aliens or mutants” policy, and so Donnie comes up with the great idea to have Sunita lend them her cloaking broach, except they realize that there’s only one broach and 4 of them. So Splinter hides the broach somewhere in the lair and gives them half hour to find it. If they don’t find it in that time, then Splinter gets the broach. 28 minutes of unfruitful searching later, Mikey is about to give up and flops in the middle of the floor and spots the broach attached to their skate rap, hidden by the graffiti. Mikey runs to grab it but Leo uses him as a step ladder and grabs it first, sticks it on and turns into a human. Mikey steals it from Leo, Donnie steals it from Mikey, then Raph steals it from Donnie. They keep stealing it from each other, but each time one of them transforms there’s a poof of sparkles. Eventually there’s such a big cloud of sparkles that the broach gets launched into the air and into Splinter’s hand right as the time is up. Since none of the turtles could claim it in the time given, Splinter wins, puts the pin on a turns into a human and leaves to go do something, idk.

The second episode, “Return of the Cloaking Broach,” Donnie figures out how to make cloaking broaches and turns them all into humans so they can go to another Jupiter Jim Convention that has a “no aliens or mutants” sign. I haven’t thought through this one as much as the previous, but there definitely needs to be a scene where Mikey realizes he has no money when trying to by some snack, and the Trash Wizard needs to make an appearance too. I think this episode would end after they’re cloaking broaches get knocked off (probably by the Trash Wizard) and they have to hastily make their escape while being chased by Jupiter Jim nerds. I think then the turtles all agree that their adventures with cloaking broaches are over, lol

These are just some silly ideas I came up with, but I think it would be funny to see the boys pretending to be humans XD

Good question! :]

[our-happygirl500-fan]

Something that I’ve seen a few people point out is that Leo seems to mispronounce things when he’s possibly feeling nervous with the time he was nervous over meeting his favourite actor in the episode Jupiter Jim Ahoy! being used as an example.

Leo: Excuse me, um, Mr. Jampeter Jupe. I mean, Jampiter June. Ah, I mean, fans...we is.

While Leo seems to sometimes mispronounce words when he is possibly excited he also seems to mispronounce words in slightly tense & stressful situations as well.

April: You guys can get him out, right?

Leo: Of course, we're experts at minthic stuff.

April: Umm, you mean mystic right? I think we should call Donnie

In the episode Mystic Library, when April comes to the Turtles over Mayhem getting trapped in a mirror, Leo mispronounces the word ‘mystic’ while trying to reassure April which might show that Leo was nervous & worried for Mayhem.

Leo: It’s time we grew up and accepted our destiny as descendants of the Tomato Clan

Donnie:  It’s Hamato

Leo: That’s it, it is Hamato right?

Mikey: Raph & Donnie: We are the Hamato Clan!

Leo: We are the Tomato Clan- Hamato!

In the episode Insane in the Mama Train, Leo mispronounced the word Hamato a few times & considering how the Turtles were trying to take being Ninja’s more seriously than they usually do during the episode & the fact that the Dark Armour was nearly completed the fact that Leo kept mispronouncing the word Hamato might have possibly shown how stressed & nervous the whole situation was making him.

The fact that Leo is shown to sometimes mispronounce words during stressfull situations might possibly mean that the more stressed Leo is the more chance there is that he might possibly stumble over his words.
