Here's a clip

Saw a clip earlier on, and I think I can safely say Don is no longer my favorite turtle: the bust of himself proves an unprecedented ego problem in this series...

I'll admit, it's nice to see April get hers comeuppance after The Gumbus. Not gonna lie, I was hoping Mr. Cuddles was going to cut Donnie's shell pack.

Though he'll likely create a new one anyway.

Interesting... What are these people on? Nick Studios must not have mandatory drug testing.

But why the hell was it alive in the first place? And it grows with screams? (Are we mutating stuffed animals now?) And why was April in a commercial out of nowhere? Is she ON/hosting the kids show?? And why were they such jerks to Raph? But mostly April since I guess she brought the thing to their home. That wasn't "making him face his fear" and scaring him with the tv commercials was prank enough. And why is this Raph such a chicken...

But I suppose taking a likely trope of making a harmless object scary was somewhat of a success.

Yeah, agree not really into the Donnie ego thing that has seemed to become apparent over time, and now obvious. Thought he was probably one of the better characters in this series, but his attitude is wearing on me. Is he supposed to be the stereotyped teen who is annoyed at everything most hours of the day?

1) My logical explanation to why Mrs. Cuddles is alive. She's from the underground city. 2) It seems that Splinter can be a ninja master whenever he wants to. 3) Part of me was hoping that Mrs. Cuddles is a robot that Donnie created.

The episode was OK, I like that Splinter helped Raph defeat Mrs Cuddles.

Apparently there was subtle but big info in the episode.

I will have to watch again to see if I catch it.

Did you miss the part were April said it was her new job? Mrs. Cuddles even said "I remember you from work" before attacking. That's HOW she got access to Mrs. Cuddles in the first place.

*Powder* · 10-20-2018, 10:34 PM

While I got a laugh or two out of this & was glad to see Splinter get in on the action, it's by far my least favorite of the series.

Yes, but which work? They made it apparent that Mrs. Cuddles was being overused in commercials for other things, even selling cars. April suddenly showing up on their tv doing commercials and/or kid's show is pretty random.

Would be an interesting angle for sure. (Now how to handle the different ages?)

More like since he's Smarter then everyone else, he doesn't need to rub that in because it's already known.

But it's more like a "Don't mind me, I'm just waiting as I lose my sanity being around these morons for the last 14 years." Though I did find the making a titanium bust of himself was a bit much.

That line just reads so perfectly in Rise Donatello's voice

Which would be totally understandable with this series.

Still wish he'd be the resident 4th wall breaker over some of the ridiculous stuff in this series through which the series shows a little self awareness of said ridiculousness.
