Most out of character moments in TMNT
I would say that some characters will have "out of character" moments. I think one of the biggest was from April in the 1987 series
It was in Season 10 "The Beginning of the End" Where she sees the mutated Leonardo destroying everything. Instead of trying to get big stories, she wants to work on ordinary stuff as they seem safer I guess. But not only does she not seem to care that one of her best friends is mutated and destroying property and hurting people but the whole thing goes against her character, and she was always known for trying to get big stories and then does a 180. It just seemed like a big out of character moment. Not to mention, rather callous of April. |

One moment I can think of is in season 8 of the Red Sky episodes where April begins doubting the turtles after she suspects them of working with an evil ninja gang. Also, Raphaels remarks against Leo in the episode "Turtle Trek" where he challanges his leadership like the other versions. While Red Sky did have many out of character moments, they were still interesting to watch and the characters felt the same to the core.

Especially 10 seasons in. I mean if this was episode 3 maybe... but after hanging with them for so long?

Are we sticking with just the 1987 cartoon?
Random bits that come to mind are, Raphael stating Michaelangelo not having much to lose in Teenagers from Dimension X. Sure it was a constant thong in both 2003 cartoon and 2012 which Raphael bullies Michaelangelo making comments on his stupidity. Yet its the only time in this series. Leonardo going soft for Lotus seems out of character even if he is more in awe of her ninja prowess. Casey Jones matching Shredder's sword skill in Cyber Turtles. Shredder putting himself on the line for Krang in Turtkes To The Second Power was oerhaps character growth, but seemed odd. Rat King gainning backbone and being edgy in Wrath of the Rat King was sudden but cool. There are others. That is what I thought of on the top of my head.

I personally can believe Shredder putting himself on the line for Krang, at least at that point in his career with him.
Especially after being in Dimension X with him and going through god knows what. Now, Krang gleefully thanking Shredder for sharing his life energy is questionable.

And that episode about the Japanese kid named Yoku... Splinter and the Turtles had trained with him, what? Quote:
Eh now that you mention it, Casey matching Shredder in sword ability is quite strange. How come I've never stopped to think about that? Good shout. The Rat King having a backbone and telling Shredder and Krang to **** off wasn't out of character, imo. He's always had a bit of a mercenary nature to him... but I do wonder how he found out the Turtles Lair... hell how come several characters found out the Turtles Lair but NEVER told Shredder, Krang or Dregg? Lotus, the Rat King and Chronos all knew the location of their Lair. Quote:

Yeah, I remember that Yoku episode. So jarring.
I did find it weird having shredder and krang be so nice to each other on their last outing. It's been a long series for them so I guess they became friends in the end. I can kinda see krang thanking shredder for saving him, it's the only time I can recall krang ever being so close to death and shredder did stop to save him instead of just saying himself.

And as I said, it was also odd to see Krang calling Dregg "mad" when Krang had also done lots of mad acts before. |

Don seems a little off in both Mirage Volume 1 TMNT #37 and TMNT #43.
In the former, he has this spiritual revelation and completely loses his mind and thinks himself a shaman. This seems... a little unlikely for someone level headed and rational like Donatello. Also, in 43 he goes entirely the opposite way. While attempting a spiritual exercise that, given his upbringing, Don should have no trouble with, he alternates between petulant and goofy. Even Mikey does better than him. Just seems unusual. And Raphael's personality is pretty weird in The River trilogy. I almost think the story should be Mikey's.

Mikey being scolded a lot by the other Turtles for goofing off in "Havoc in the Streets".

Donatello spazzing out in a couple 1992 episodes, especially the one where Vernon's nephew creates the device that pulls the Earth closer to the sun. It's like, jeez Don, cool your jets!

If I had limited internet access, I'd sure make better use of it than just trolling.
