Mutant Apocalypse Speculation and wishlisting thread

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

I'm going to be very disappointed if Raphael doesn't lose one of his eyes.

[Hero]

Maybe this Raph takes better care of himself . His pearly white teeth have made it all intact!

[Tarris Vaal]

Cushioned by the beard...


I was surprised they didn't give him his usual eye injury. Don at least went cyborg, so we got that reference. And there is still scope that Leo went blind.

Maybe they didn't want Raph to lose one of his eyes since they already had the Don reference, though I agree that it would have been cool to see.

I've been thinking of Ideas of what happened to Leo:-

He's dead and we only see him in flashbacks.
He turned evil and he's the leader of the gang not Verminator Rex.
He double mutated into something else.
He can't fight no more because he has a permanent injury so he's staying somewhere else.
He had a breakdown or had a massive argument with his brothers over this Apocalypse and he just left.
His brothers think he's dead but he was actually captured, tortured and forced to join Verminator Rex gang.
His brothers think he's dead but he ended up with amnesia and he goes off on his own but along the way he starts to remember who he is and he finally reunites with his brothers.
He's a spy in Verminator's Rex gang but his brother's either knew about it or they didn't know about it.

Anyone else got any ideas.

My original thought was that Leo blamed himself for the Apocalypse and what happened next.

Spoiler:

Especially April's and Casey's death (and Donnie becoming a robot if that was also a consequence)

I can see him believing he's a failure as a leader, and burdened with guilt, leaves and goes his own way.

For some reason I feel the female mutant (fox?) is going to play an important role in this. The turtles will likely end up protecting her, and by doing so, she'll help them to find their old ways. To become the heroes they once were.

[Hero]

That character certainly has an instant connection with the turtles having the Hamato insignia sprayed on the helmet. Perhaps the guys trained up others over the years. Even one of the TMNT Summer Shorts depicted a future where Mikey was a Sensei.

Whoever she is, there is some other signifigance with the map tattooed on her forearm. It makes her a target for Verminator and co for sure. The brief shot of her arm being held by Mikey's frail hand could mean anything since his status in the MA is unknown.

Still intrigued by Leo's absense mostly.

[Chris]

Maybe we're going the Force Awakens route and it's a map to Leo who vanished after blaming himself for not being able to stop the apocalypse? Can't think why Verminator would want it in that case but it's as good a guess as any

[BubblyShell22]

I just hope Leo's not dead and gone. Any other possibilities I'm open about.

Probably one of these images.

That's less PD, and more Farley.
At least to my eyes

[Hero]

What kind of mutant is Verminator Rex? He looks more like a honey badger than his previous incarnation. Cat mutants have been done over and over already.

Speaking of done over. I am glad this Raphael has kept both eyes. An eyepatch wouldn't go with his post-apoc bearded-Nightwatcher getup. The eyepatch has been and done already. The 'beard' is something new.

I wonder where "The Map" leads to...
The 'Tomorrow-Morrow Land' of the Mutant Apocalypse perhaps? Maybe Leonardo is there.

[JH24]

I look forward to see how they will handle Verminator Rex as a villain. If they follow Mad Max's line of villains he will likely be insane, ruthless, sadistic and very dangerous.

[Tarris Vaal]

Im actually kinda surprised they didn't go for a look closer to the Immortan Joe mask for Verminator. Perhaps it was one reference too far, but it wouldn't have been difficult to do.

Given all the speculation over Leo and this mysterious map, I'm half expecting the map to lead them to Leo by the end of the 1st episode and then all Leo does is right at the end look at them and remove his hood.

Another Instagram update. A behind the scenes with Felipe Smith.

Some clips in between. We now know that Raph still has his Sais and Mikey's teddy bear is now some sort of warhead
