Thoughts on Tiger Claw

*PApagreg* · 04-12-2017, 10:02 PM

So what are your thoughts on Tiger Claw; did you think he was a great addition to the TMNT universe, did you think the writers tried a little too hard to make him a breakout character , or are your feeling to the character more gray than the examples I listed?

I think TigerClaw turned out great on the show, I would like to see TigerClaw appear in the IDW comics, or in the new 2018 series that's coming out.

I thought he was a great addition to the TMNT universe. I always enjoyed when he was a major player in an episode or even if he was just in the episode at all. He was portrayed as a competent fighter who you didn't want to mess with in key episodes. He is one of the greats in terms of The Shredder's second in command along with Karai and Tatsu in my opinion. I also hope he becomes a normal character in new iterations of TMNT to come.

Really fun character, missed opportunity, though, with having him leave the Foot after realizing Shredder was "cray-cray". lol

I like him, he's had some really cool episode features & Eric Bauza is an absolutely amazing performer, but I don't think I'd want to see the character in another universe. Well, maybe, without the tech or western attire.

I feel basically the same way. Auman created him while playing a tabletop game as a teenager lol, so that explains the goofy clothes and accessories. Really could have done without the jetpack, too.

He was a really intriguing character at first, and very formidable. Almost as powerful as Splinter. But they nerfed him as the show went on and didn't really give him anything to do.

To me, Tiger Claw is something of an Diet Old Hob.
An angry one-eyed feline mutant with a score to settle.

But, as pointed out earlier, Tiger Claw wasn't very well, and just wasn't quite as compelling as Hob.

He was terrific, he possessed extraordinary skill and caused the turtles trouble numerous times. I found his accessories really cool, the jetpack, the ice guns. It's only natural for me to wish for his appearance in future shows.

It's also worth mentioning that he had aim worse than an Imperial Stormtrooper. Did he ever actually hit his target once?

The cat has no depth perception, what'd you expect?

I like Tiger Claw, my favourite episode with him in it is, Wrath of Tiger Claw, I loved the final fight scene.
