What are you looking forward to in season 2?

[NinjaMan]

For me I can't wait to see Casey, Mutagen Man, the 80s turtles and hopefully the return of Leatherhead.

[NinjaPug]

Slash. Glad we got confirmation on him.

[Gyt Kaliba]

All of the above, plus I'm hoping to see some more focus on Shredder and the Foot. I'm also looking forward to maybe seeing some more character brought back from other incarnations that we haven't had yet.

Yeah I want more Foot focus as well and I'm hoping, it's a long shot that Ray Fillet appears.

[Zulithe]

If I could only pick one element it would be Casey. I hope he gets to play an integral role similar to Karai.

Now that we have some info on Slash/Spike, I'm totally down for that as well. new mutants always have my attention

Agreed, the more mutants the merrier for me. I too want Casey to play a huge role and hope to see him wreck some Foot Soldiers.

[Bossa Nova]

More like I'm hoping (since I don't know if it'll actually happen) is a lot more character growth with the turtles. I feel like there's the potential there for Don what with the whole Mutagen Man deal and next season Raph also seems like he might have his moments with the introduction of Casey and Slash. But Leo and Mikey....especially poor Mikey, it's all still feeling really stagnant to me. I'm getting really bored of new character after new character and would prefer some solid story arcs with some already established characters (Rat King, Leaherhead) instead of a new mutant every other episode. Nothing really feels collected and it's starting to feel a bit boring.

I bet Leo will be watching a Space Heroes show with someone less like Captain Kirk (or Ryan), but more like Captain Picard. I do see Leo meeting some warriors of another kind to work with/or fight against. It depends how it goes. As for Mikey - it's possible he could be getting a cat and find friendlier ones. I don't know. You make it sound like they have no worth. Also, the more mutants, the better. The only time I'll get bored is if they're in space for like 6 episodes. Still, it's a kid's show. If you're losing interest, don't watch it. Wait for something better in the future when the turtles are only fighting humans, then. It will come.:twink:

[Shark_Blade]

80s turtles hands down.

I'm curious how they're gonna do this, since they're like 2D drawing and Nick's are 3D model.

[Retro-Specs]

Definitely more development and exploration into the turtles' characters and personality. And some more joking and sibling rivalry.

Beside all the above mentioned, I'd like to see more action from Splinter, he seems like an amazing fighter.

How about some loose ends, like what became of Chris Bradford's chain of dojos? Maybe Dogpound could take advantage of his old company somehow, for Shredder's means?

I'd also like to see Nickelodeon's depiction of Dimension X, and some other creatures from there.

[Machias Banshee]

I am absolutely hoping to see more about Splinter's background and the history between him and the Shredder. That old photograph of them together, seemingly as friends, REALLY piqued my interest. :)

[Donatello19]

EVERYTHING!

But specifically I want to see more of Shredder and the Foot...I'm getting a bit tired of the Kraang.

[NinjaMan]

I am absolutely hoping to see more about Splinter's background and the history between him and the Shredder. That old photograph of them together, seemingly as friends, REALLY piqued my interest. :)

OOO I had forgot all about that pic. I hope the 2 of them get to interact next season.

[Donatello19]

80s turtles hands down.

I'm curious how they're gonna do this, since they're like 2D drawing and Nick's are 3D model.

I think they should do what they did with the Timmy/Jimmy power hours. Have the OT turtles in 3D, in the Nick Turtles world, and have the Nick turtles in 2D, in the OT Turtles world.

[NinjaMan]

I think they should do what they did with the Timmy/Jimmy power hours. Have the OT turtles in 3D, in the Nick Turtles world, and have the Nick turtles in 2D, in the OT Turtles world.

OOO I'd love to see the 80's Turtles in 3D.

[Bauer536]

I think they should do what they did with the Timmy/Jimmy power hours. Have the OT turtles in 3D, in the Nick Turtles world, and have the Nick turtles in 2D, in the OT Turtles world.

That would be hilarious! It would be so much better than Jimmy/Timmy Power!:tlol:

[Luckyday]

I wonder if they're ever get to the point in where it's discovered that the Mutagen man has the ability to change shape and formed like in the 80's cartoon? Timothy was the type of person that a had desperate desire to be someone else.

[Bossa Nova]

How did I make it sound like Leo and Mikey have no worth? I said they haven't really been getting anything in the way of character development. With Don and Raph, they seem like they have build up for future potential to really challenge themselves and grow as individuals. Personally, I haven't really seen anything like that given to Leo and Mikey and it's disappointing. One could argue Leo did have a little bit of growth in terms of Karai, but it felt like such a stupid schoolboy crush that it hardly seems noteworthy to me since I know there are so many other ways he can learn and develop outside of his feelings for some girl he doesn't even know. I feel like Mikey hasn't even had that and he hasn't learned much about himself or grown from his experiences. That's not me saying I feel they have no worth.

[miru]

Slash, more Karai, Casey Jones, more Mutagen Man, Mutanimals, you-know-who...

Sorry. I guess the reason why I said that was for a defense mechanism. I have no problem with what they done, and I think (more or less), the turtles are growing each episode, and they prove to be good ninjas/leaders/warriors, too. If you look outside of the Karai business, I'd say Leo has been developing in episodes where she's not there. I think the premiere and "Never Say Xever" did that, and it went on during episodes even when he wasn't the main focus. I think Mikey is fine, too. Both "New Friend, Old Enemy" and "Parasitica" have shown some good character development in my opinion. I'd say each of the four turtles get the spotlight in every episode, and I like that.:tcool:

Just out curiosity, what kind of character development do you want to see in Leo?

[Bossa Nova]

Just out curiosity, what kind of character development do you want to see in Leo?

Personally, I like the idea of Leo learning to humble himself. Leo has always come off to me as being rather proud and a bit full of himself, but in other incarnations, he feels a bit "older" so he's learned to (mostly) strike the balance between his natural ego and a sense of humbleness. Nickelodeon's Leo still feels very young and we've seen a few times already that he's a got bit of a big head, and I think it'd be interesting for him to struggle with the realization that he can't do everything he wants to be able to do.

We also saw a tiny bit of his struggling with what it means to be a leader even when he doesn't want to be, but he came off as such a whiny brat about it I really don't feel like he's learned much from that experience. It would be fun to watch him really take to his position as leader, now that he knows it's not something he can just shove off to someone else whenever he feels like it, and see how he learns to internalize his feelings on what it means to be responsible for the lives of his brothers even when it comes at the cost of his own happiness (such as when they might possibly resent him for constantly "telling them what to do"). Leo has always felt like his role as leader is an integral part of who he is, a position he takes VERY seriously (as he should), and Nick's Leo doesn't quite seem to have that yet and I'd be interested to watch him understand just why his status is so important-not just for the sake of it sounds 'cool' to be the leader, but for the very real task at hand of protecting his family.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, he's already learned what it's like to shove the job to someone else, and Raph learned about what it truly means to be a leader and the burden that comes with it. I think Leo did learn his lesson that there has to be a balance. And I don't think he was particularly whiny about it. He was simply voicing his concerns that he always has to make the decisions while his brothers complain about it. I think it was a legitimate complaint for him to have since he's so young and still learning what it means to be a leader. But he learned in the end that his job is important, and I have a feeling he'll learn more about it in due time.

I totally agree.....

Donnie has had so many episodes to himself

1) metalhead
2) monkey brains
3) the Pulverizer
4) the Pulverizer returns
5) pretty sure the next episode after Parasitica will be about Donnie
6).......pretty much anything involving April

even in Mousers attack, Raph and Leo kept saying they needed Donnie.....they didn't even mention Mike.

he has hogged April all season........

Donnie has had so much development this season...I think next season I would like the other boys to get some more.......

and since Raph is gonna have Slash AND Casey...........Leo and Mikey need more development....

Mikey has had a total of literally 3 episodes this season to himself....and not one of those episodes included a private conversation with Splinter....which all the other boys have gotten.


okay...end rant :D sorry...I had to get that out...........

[BubblyShell22]

I'm looking forward to Slash, the crossover, Casey, etc. I also hope we find out that Karai is Miwa and what that will do to her once she finds out. Should be interesting.

[shredder orokusaki]

I am looking forward to kill the turtles!!

[ObiWanFan4life]

I am looking forward to kill the turtles!!

You are NOT the shredder. Please stop pretending you are.

[Genesis]

I think it's funny to imagine the Shredder hunching over a keyboard and bitching about how he can't succeed on a forum in his downtime. But yeah, in all seriousness, this isn't a place for roleplaying.

[ObiWanFan4life]

I am absolutely hoping to see more about Splinter's background and the history between him and the Shredder. That old photograph of them together, seemingly as friends, REALLY piqued my interest. :)

Amen to that.

[CowabungaMikey]

I am looking forward to kill the turtles!!

I am looking forward to a moment you shut up!!

[MST3KFan]

Slash, Mutagen Man, maybe more of Karai hinted at breaking off from Shredder. Return of Rat King and Leatherhead hopefully.

I do wish to see Mikey maybe get some more development. How about a modern interpretation of the original cartoon hero he liked Bugman or something? Or give him his pet cat from the comics?

If we get anymore original toon nod characters I'd not be against Mona Lisa or since it seems Dimension X exists for the Kraang, the Neutrinos.

[Coola Yagami]

I am looking forward to kill the turtles!!

I'm gonna indulge this.

Tell me, oh one true Shredder. How do you find time to lead the Foot, Karai and Apolex and brainwash Leo in the comics..... and then lead Dogpound and Fishface and a captured Kraang in the cartoons AND post on a message board about your defeats? Where do you find the time? And are you tappin Kistune? Do tell.

As for the topic question... Slash, Mutagen Man, hopefully another episode with Rat King and Spider Bytes. He's the only one that hasn't really returned considering Snakeweed has a second episode and will be in the second issue in the comic based on the series. I assume we'll see him again since he's getting an action figure.

How do i find time? I am posting messages here in my free time when i am not chassing the turtles. But most days i am busy fighting them and that why as you see i am not posting a lot here.

[Coola Yagami]

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

I would enjoy seeing a Mikey & Raph episode, with the two as the leads of an episode.

I think it would be interesting and very entertaining to see how those two would have to deal with each other as well as work together in a Major Capacity, during a plot that could be 'saving the rest of the family' or 'some other kind of plot'.

[Warrior]

Casey Jones! I've been waiting for his obligatory headbutt with Raph.
Aaaaaaaand more Mikey time. I love the guy to bits (he's like a few teens I know), but I'd really like to see some sort of development on his part.

(Now what I kind want to see is the Kraang getting proper speaking lessons. It'll never happen, but I must save the English language! Earth can rot in the gutter!)

[CowabungaMikey]

Corey Feldman not being Don.


I... I... actually like Feldman as Don....

[The Sewer Lord]

I'm curious how they're gonna do this, since they're like 2D drawing and Nick's are 3D model.

The Amazing World of Gumball did it. Why shouldn't Nick?

[Cowabunga Carl]

If I could see anything in season 2 the things I would like to see are:

1) The return of Leatherhead. He ended up in Dimension X I know but maybe somehow he gets back to Earth or the Turtles end up going there and running into him. I think it would be a waist to never see him again. It could be great sense Slash is showing up maybe to start forming the Mutant Animals.

2) Feature some more Mirage, OT, Archie, and 2k3 characters. Bring in some of the characters people love and give them a new look and take. Marvel did an awesome job with the Ultimate line of comics, or at least what I read, and it's cool seeing this show do that with some of the old characters.

3) I know I'm in the minority on this one, or at least think I am, but I'd like to see the Turtles appear in their varient forms from the toys in the show. It would be kind of cool to see episodes based around the Ooze version or Stealth, or whatever version they release down the road. At least that way there would be a reason for all these variants on the shelf and they might actually sell better.

[kelligrafie]

More like I'm hoping (since I don't know if it'll actually happen) is a lot more character growth with the turtles. I feel like there's the potential there for Don what with the whole Mutagen Man deal and next season Raph also seems like he might have his moments with the introduction of Casey and Slash. But Leo and Mikey....especially poor Mikey, it's all still feeling really stagnant to me. I'm getting really bored of new character after new character and would prefer some solid story arcs with some already established characters (Rat King, Leaherhead) instead of a new mutant every other episode. Nothing really feels collected and it's starting to feel a bit boring.

I understand what you're saying. I think the overdose on new characters was pretty much because they weren't initially guaranteed a series beyond the first and had to pack as much in as they could character wise.

I too would really like to see a build on relationships between the brothers. In particular I'd like to see a lot more between Leo and Donnie/Mikey. Most of the brotherly time with Leo is focussed on him vs Raph. Now don't get me wrong, I love the friction between them, but I think the show would benefit between Leo being an older brother to his youngest siblings. Raph is the grumpy sarcastic fighter yet it seems he's also the main source of comfort, particularly for Mikey.

I would also like to see some sort of major loss in terms of a person. Either to the whole gang of turtles or an individual brother. (I don't mean we lose a turtle, but someone close to them).

[cryan]

Excited to see Josh Peck's take on Casey Jones. How he is going to voice him.

[turtlefan1]

if shredder and the foot are going to get more focus in season 2 then i want the fight i know were all waiting for shredder vs spilnter both have in little showing prove that we might have the best animated inperations of the character so far i want to see these two ninja masters go head to head.

[Electric]

1. Less Kraang, more Foot
2. More interconnected episodes, instead of just every episode seeming like it can stand alone, minus the 2 part opener
3. More of April fighting

Besides that, I'm just looking forward to seeing what the new season will bring with characters (Casey, Slash, Karai/Miwa)

[Shark_Blade]

The Amazing World of Gumball did it. Why shouldn't Nick?You gotta explain cause I don't understand what the heck was that about.

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

Casey and Slash

[NinjaPug]

2. More interconnected episodes, instead of just every episode seeming like it can stand alone, minus the 2 part opener



Totally agree with this. I want multiple episode story arcs. That is part of what I loved about the 2K3 series.

[The Sewer Lord]

You gotta explain cause I don't understand what the heck was that about.

Gumball (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1942683/?ref_=rvi_tt)? That show has 3D and 2D characters.

That'll feel kinda weird since the OT will look flat as a cardboard when mixed with the 3D Nick turtles..

[Bossa Nova]

That'll feel kinda weird since the OT will look flat as a cardboard when mixed with the 3D Nick turtles..

I totally forgot that Gumball mixes both 2D and 3D animation. You should try giving it a watch, you'll see that the blending of styles isn't actually as jarring as you might think. Not that we really have any idea how Nickelodeon is going to handle this, but I could see them meshing both type of animation and it still turning out well, visually speaking.

[The Sewer Lord]

That'll feel kinda weird since the OT will look flat as a cardboard when mixed with the 3D Nick turtles..

But Gumball managed to make its 2D characters not flat! That was the point all along!

[Cowabunga Carl]

I keep seeing people saying they want connected season stories. I do believe that at the get go the creative director for this new take said that wouldn't happen.

[Luckyday]

I keep seeing people saying they want connected season stories. I do believe that at the get go the creative director for this new take said that wouldn't happen.

That...worries me.:sweatdro:

[PaulAllen]

Definitely Casey

[Electric]

I keep seeing people saying they want connected season stories. I do believe that at the get go the creative director for this new take said that wouldn't happen.

They don't need to be like multiple part episodes, but just episodes that reference and continue on with what occurred in the previous episode. Like, a good example would be The New Girl in Town and Alien Agenda, 2 different plots, but they still connected by another plot.

I'd just like to see more of those.

[CowabungaMikey]

But Gumball managed to make its 2D characters not flat! That was the point all along!


I agree. The Amazing World of Gumball looks awesome!

[Vi11AiN6]

How about some loose ends, like what became of Chris Bradford's chain of dojos? Maybe Dogpound could take advantage of his old company somehow, for Shredder's means?


He has, watch The Pulverizer Returns you will see in that epsiode that the Foot Clan are actively using Bradford's chain of Dojo's to recruit the foot, so looks like Dogpound is still keeping them running....

[Cowabunga Carl]

The idea was to have a show similar to the OT in structure and storytelling, but to bring in aspects that will connect. They wanted it to be accessible to anyone who hasn't seen the rest of the season, you could turn on an episode and everything you need to know about that episode is right there.

[BubblyShell22]

Plus, everything does connect if you watch it. Sure, there are some fillers here and there, but the stories do connect. My guess is that we won't have many multi-part episodes except for Rise of the Turtles, the finale, and the season 2 premiere.

[Shark_Blade]

The characters look too plain but the animation execution really does look impressive. :)

[gobo]

I always thought that was 2D characters superimposed against a live-action background. :-?

[Mondo_Gecko]

I'm looking forward to see Baxter getting mutated and seeing how the tiger and bird mutant come about.

I love the idea of Slash, even tough I dislike his design and I just hope that Snakeweed sticks around, as he's so underused right now.

[MaximeLoonatic]

This is what I'm looking forward for season 2:
- The big drama about the Donnie/April/Casey triangle
- Raphael's feelings for the loss of Spike and the frustration aboput he and Slash; I mean, his pet has turning into a bigger mutant turtle and possibly (that it's so clear) that he became a villian or an anti-hero rebel
- More interation between Leo and Donnie and Mikey and Leo
- Irma... Obiously! :D
- New enemies and mutants.
- Dimention X

[Leofan26]

I'm really looking forward to that crossover with the 2012 turtles and the 80s ones, that should be fun :)

[dudeabides]

I'm looking forward to the knowledge I don't possess yet but will by then of what went down in the Season 1 finale.

[Refractive Reflections]

80s turtles hands down.

I'm curious how they're gonna do this, since they're like 2D drawing and Nick's are 3D model.

Exactly! I'm very intrigued to see how they are going to have the drawing animation of the OT Turtles interact with the CGI animation of the Nick Turtles. Will they both be CGI? Will they both be drawing animation for some time? Who will be their common enemy? And how exactly will they meet? What will they think of each other?

And probably biggest of all, can the writers effectively insert the OT Turtles in the story without the hour long episode appearing like one huge nostalgia fest? So it won't distance the young kid audience majority.

...So many questions. :P

Personally, I like the idea of Leo learning to humble himself. Leo has always come off to me as being rather proud and a bit full of himself, but in other incarnations, he feels a bit "older" so he's learned to (mostly) strike the balance between his natural ego and a sense of humbleness.

It's just my speculation but... I think that kind of profound deep character development and maturity is going to at least take few seasons, looking at the pace of how Nick is growing their characters and where they started from.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Casey Jones, and also having more focus on the foot and shredder.

shredder is very one dimensional at the moment, which is mainly down to lack of screen time. with more screen time he can be developed alot more

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I'm definitely psyched for Casey Jones, Irma, and some of these new mutants like Tiger Claw. Should be interesting. Also can't wait for Fly Baxter.
