Official Mutant Apocalypse Arc Discussion (SERIES FINALE)

[IndigoErth]

[A Renet episode on this morning is to blame for this, just fyi...]


Wait...

If the bomb that presumably triggered the apocalypse, after which no humans survived, happened when the Turtles were supposedly still only 21, as mentioned in another thread, then how the heck are they the famous "Turtle warriors of legend," as claimed by Renet?

That would presumably require another previous unknown event in their still young lives that would out them to the world (or at least city/country), and would make them famous as Renet claims, prior to the bomb event they couldn't stop and killed all humans. But... to be "of legend" suggests a far longer time span between an unknown fame causing event and Renet traveling back in time to meet them.

So were they famous already by age 20? (Maybe soon after the present time where the series ended with the cross over? Since if they aged in this 5-year show that would make them around 20. If it spanned a similar amount of time.) And why is Renet even so excited to meet them if humanity dies out not long after? They couldn't be "famous" for long before most life on the planet died and takes a lot of the wind out of said fame if almost no one is left to care and pass on the stories.

But then Renet would supposedly meet them again in the future, or so she seemed to promise Mikey, so that's presumably after the age of 21 and the apocalyptic event, so... Wait.

But if she was excited to meet them, than at the age that she was at the time she hadn't met them yet in her present time period (sans time travel), so she'd only meet them again in the future when she herself is older. So, that is then presumably after the apocalypse, or the event that started it.

Granted they could be famous among mutants, not humans, but there isn't a big enough population of them either for them to be famous among, let alone be warriors for and against (nor for much reason other than simple survival), AND the Turtles were split up for many decades. (And Mikey seems to have retired from a warrior lifestyle apart from his brothers.)

Soooo... Renet... did you lie to Mikey? Even if you couldn't try to help change what happened, you didn't even show up to try to bring them back together? What famous warriors - plural - are they as a team if apart for so long and split up so young?

Unless they're only "famous" to her after listening to the life stories of a bunch of old Turtle men someday...

Though that still doesn't explain her exuberance at their first meeting, suggesting real fame.

Hm.
