Official Episode Discussion: #3 "Turtle Temper"

[Keno]

Love your episode posts! Definitely one thing I've missed

Anyways I liked this episode. Yes the mutant thing is a a bit repetitive but hey...it is a children's cartoon.

I like how this show always makes me laugh. I love how The Krang's talk.

Excited for next week!

"That's some kung fu, frog."

Lewis Black was funny, and he had some great lines. I suppose he'll be back.

We should show this picture to Krang, LOL.

Haven't seen the episode yet, would you say the episode is better than Rise of the Turtles?

Sorry for making a double thread. If anyone is able to lock it, by all means please do. I thought it was really awesome that Lewis Black guest started on the show and did the voice of Vic. I am also starting to like The Kraang's humor more and more (the scene where one of The Kraang's comment on how good he looks, as he watches the video Vic recorded of the fight between them and The Turtles). While Spider Bites does look cool, I still love Snakeweed. Since Spider Bites got away, I assume he may possibly come back but I loved the joke Donatello. The human form of Vic was really annoying (as he was intended to be). Overall a good episode.
Also, you'll notice that before someone gets mutated, there is a brief foreshadowing (as The Turtles enter the warehouse their is a scene about spiders. In Rise of the Turtles, when they Turtles integrate Snake, you see a glimpse of tree). When The Kraang talk about Kraang (the leader)I get more anticipated for his debut.

Well that episode was just delightful. I'm glad that the borrowed the Yoshi was also angry in his youth story from the IDW comics. I like that even though Leonardo is the Splinter Jr. that Splinter and Raph shares elements as well. I liked the whole Raph and Mikey thing in the beginning, I've said it before and I'll say it again I love how brotherly the group feels in the new show.

Spiderbites was a pretty decent villian, I was shocked when he started barfing up the corrosive slime, it was a nice way to make the guy who probably had no experience with fighting a serious threat to the Turtles. Also liked that he was just a guy and not some enemy from the past. I also really liked how he was basically a human surrogate of Raph, kind of a this is what you may become if you keep giving in to your anger. Also liked that Raph was big enough, even before his talk with Splinter, to know that there was a time and a place for his anger and tried to save Vic from the Krang.

Very happy that they dealt with the Raphael anger thing up front. Even though the scene where Leo, Don, and Mike were insulting Raph while shooting arrows at him was a little heartbreaking. It served as great character development for Raphael who has others have said didn't seem to get a lot in the first episode. It was refreshing to see that this Raph is the insecure and lonely Raph from the original Comics, the masks his feelings behind his anger. What was even better was that even though that is his MO his brother's are fully aware of it.

Finally to address everybody an their fears of it being a Mutant of the Week show, I have a strong feeling that next week will break the trend. I feel like we will be introduced to Chris Bradford and an animosity will begin to fester between he and the Turtles which will eventually lead to his volunteering to be mutated once the Foot and the Krang form and alliance (or the Foot get their hands on some Mutagen). Either way very excited for the introduction of the Foot next week and I also love that they seem to be including the Shredder Elite in the show... I hope that we eventually get a figure of them

Chuck Norris should voice Tatsu if he ever appeared!

There is always wiki,but I never heard of Lewis Black before an hour ago. What is he known for? I know a lot of obscure actors through the ages especially voice actors,but not this guy.

[TurtleMaster4]

I thought this was a great episode! I really like the back story splinter gave to explain why Raph needs to control his temper. And did i see Chuck Norris in the preview?

Lewis Black is a stand up comic.

I really liked the episode, even though Raph is my least favorite turtle. I can't wait to see next week's episode!

He's also the voice of Mr.E, the main villian on Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated.

Lewis Black is a stand up comedian. He's also an actor, author, critic, but basically, he's known mostly for playing an obnoxious guy who rants about everything.

Makes sense Lewis Black would play that kind of character on TMNT.

Other roles he's done was in the movie "Accepted" with Justin Long.

He was also on an episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit as a shock jock.

It does make me wonder who else they would get for TMNT.

[Slade]

I missed the first 15 minutes, so I'll catch it again at 1.

[MikeandRaph87]

It makes ense why I never heard of him. I looked through his filmography and have not seen anything he was in. He seems to be a character actor that plays off a certain comedy routine that made him known to some.

It would make sense for us to look through voice actors/actors that Nick has used in the last 5 to 10 years for its shows to see who might match a character upcoming.

[Zany Orange Dude]

That was a good episode, I really enjoyed it.

[Cure]

I liked Mikey actually defending himself against Donnie.

Casandra Peterson (Elvira) is going to be in season two.

Hmm, if I had a dream team of voice actors for TMNT 2012 it would be:

Robert Englund (did voice of The Ridder in The Batman. Aside from playing the iconic Freddy Krueger, he could do a kick ass job as villainous mutant.).

Paul Rebeuns (maybe not a mutant villain but a human villain).

Frank Welker (I would like to have actually him voice a character then do monster and animal voices).

Bruce Campbell (possibly could play The Flaming Carrot).

Curtis Armstrong

Tim Curry

Larry Drake (hasn't done anything since 2009 but if anyone is a fan of Darkman he does have that villains elegance to him).

Chris Ayres (did the voice of Freiza on Dragon Ball Z: Kai)

Trying to think of female names lol.
