Disturbing Moments In TMNT Media (Various Spoilers)

[Jester]

The Turtles think nothing of trapping Bebop and Rocksteady in cement....

DISTURBING!!!!!! Oh wait...no...it's slap stick.

Well this thread went to hell quick.

While it's probably more sad than truly disturbing, there's an episode in the OT (The Starchild, I think?) about a "kid" alien who goes around destroying entire planets. At the end he says he wants to go back and "fix" things, but if these places are really as bad off as the other aliens make them sound, then I'm doubting only non-living things were destroyed in his desire to simply play around. After all, he had no qualms with trying to skewer the Turtles with their own weapons.

And then of course there's the kid's father - it's never explicitly stated what happened to him, but it's made pretty obvious that he died in the war on his planet. Got me wondering what the kid did when THAT happened (if he knew it happened, of course) - if he's so good at destroying civilizations, he probably had a hand in messing up his own world as well.

It was just one of those OT episodes that actually left me thinking about the consequences that we would never actually get to see in a kid's cartoon like the OT.

Something that sticks to my mind is the "what if" scenario in Blind Sight.

The story if blind Leo fell down the roof and his corpse taken by the police. Doing autopsy and other things they reveal by fingerprints that there are more of him and most likely where they live. A SWAT team goes down to the sewers fins the lair and all hell breaks loose.

Oh...oh...Raph's dream in the Cyber Samurai arc of the Archie books is pretty messed up. His flesh burning away leaving just a skeleton. Freaky.

I've found more disturbing moments in Donald Duck cartoons than some of the examples in this thread.

[Cryomancer]

There is just something unsettling about that episode in the old show where three of the turtles get inflated into balloons or whatever the hell was going on there.

Raphael in Mirage pretty much

Spoiler:

intentionally choosing a bad future for himself because it's the better future for Shadow is a bit existentially horrible too. And pretty much their whole previous relationship in retrospect because of it.

Hell, the fact that Casey adopts Shadow the way he does. Doesn't exactly seem all that legal.

Karai kidnapping a baby because she's bored?

Image: Leonardo losing a hand. Donatello becomes a cyborg. Raphael gets scarred.

If it wasn't a kid's show, I'd say April and Irma were Bebop and Rocksteady's sex slaves in that Shredderville episode... Since that's basically what harem girls were.... What were they thinking???

What is this from again?

Also, I've got to mention Insane in the Membrane again. Baxter Stockman's utter despair at being brought back rather than left dead is awful.

Oh, man. This.

[CyberCubed]

April and Vernon blindfolded and walking on an outdoor balcony about to fall 10 stories up.

Some interesting stuff from Mirage:

- Splinter commits cannibalism due to the suggestion of the Rat King.

- Casey semi-accidently turns into a child-murderer.

- April wasn't born, she was drawn, by using Kirby's crystal and a pen. She and Renet re-experience this in roach forms, while they also have sex with other roaches.

- Worm Shredder. I don't think there's anything weirder in Mirage (or any other TMNT universe) than this. A huge welded worm colony which one's collective mind think that, he is the real Shredder. The Shark-form from Tales v2 is also creepy.

The entire Turtles Forever movie. To me, the idea of one's entire existence and world (not to mention a bunch of other universes) resting on whether or not one odd group of dopplegangers lives is utterly horrifying.

Also finding out your whole existence is little more then as a cartoon/comic (judging by everything being reduced to lines and then a white void) goes into utter nightmare zone territory.

Although on that second part. None of them ever saw it that way. They just saw it as 'oh crap the world is disappearing. And not like 'oh crap were all a bunch if cartoon characters and we're about to be erased!!!

Hey, now, old toon Raphael always knew he was in a cartoon.

[Jester]

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYZ!!! Shredder was totally gonna make turtle soup out of the Turtles...

And then that one time he was gonna bake Leo and Raph into a pizza....

And Krang's giant body totally destroys several skyscrapers, killing hundreds...I assume...I mean...why have uninhabited buildings.

I am totes disturbed....

[CyberCubed]

I was disturbed when Mr. Ogg was eating Shredder's porcelain vase collection.

Cybercubed please stop posting in this thread. You obviously don't get it. Be gone. You're ruining it just like you did the Easter Egg Hunt. If you wanna reach around, find a partner...
