the Turtles' worst fears

[BabyTurtles]

do we already have a thread like this....o_o...

well anyway....the turltes are gonna have to face their worst fears down the road...

What do you think the Turtles worst fears are gonna be??

XD you win a cookie if you turn out to be right :P

let's hear them!!

[Vicky82]

I guessing their fears could be simular to the TMNT 2k3 episode

Leonardo's fear could be Mikey want to give him mouth to mouth :D Joking! I expect it be fear at losing Splinter, losing his brothers or at failing as a leader.

Raphael fear could be losing control over his anger or cockroaches

Donnatello's fear could be over losing April or his inventions ect failing

Mikey's (is a harder one) I guess its fear of being alone.

April's fear possibly losing Donny (saw Donny's head turn into a bat's head in that trailer)

[Bossa Nova]

I really hope Don's biggest fear isn't tied into April. Honestly, he's known her for how long? If he places her above his own brothers or father then something is seriously wrong.

I kinda thought about that.....

I hope his fear is something connecting with his family...I mean sure April can be in it too....but the boys better be there.

I'm not sure what Leo's fear will be.....the obvious choice is failure...

Raph XD roaches?? maybe something more?

I am HOPING Mikey isn't given a stupid fear....for comic relief :cry:

[Shark_Blade]

I think they all fear of losing each other the most. That's the ultimate worst thing that broke their family apart in Same As It Never Was when Donnie was gone and presumed dead. Other fears are miniscule compared to that.

Fear of own death? Hell they face that everyday.

Fear of insects/cockroach? It's only temporary and occurs in short run, unlike Donnie's "death" where they carry on that trauma and pain all their life.

Fear of failure? Not really traumatic I think. Also, you live and learn; failure can only teaches you a lot more than winning everytime. Overabundant success can make you start lacking and become over confident.

I guessing their fears could be simular to the TMNT 2k3 episode
Mikey's (is a harder one) I guess its fear of being alone.
Mikey's all alone in Same As It Never Was though. He's doing fine despite it all, not really living in fear since he fights all the way.

And he's gone off doing dangerous things alone, particularly Parasitica and Mikey Gets Shellacne.

[Leofan26]

Leo's fear will be failing as a leader, loosing every one he knows and loves due to that. I could also see Karai's secret coming into play here, going even more to the dark side cuz of his failed attempts to help save her, again thinking all due to his leadership skills. Wonder how he will face this fear? Hope it develops him more and more into a leader, that'd be nice to see:D

Yah, if Donnie's fear is loosing April to Casey over some thing to do with his family, that'd make me angry and sad :(

I could see Donnie on a mission maybe almost letting his brothers die due to his crush on April, trying to save her. Maybe feel angry at himself over that, disappointment in himself and feel like he's loosing his family's love over this. This could get him over his crush and start to realize he has more important issues to deal with around him, that'd be nice and gain more respect from me :D

Mikey is an easy one to predict, falling behind...Feeling like he's useless to his family, letting every one down and feel like he needs to get better.

Raph, loosing his family due to being too weak???

April is a tough one to crack, not being able to help her father? Being kidnapped by Kranng and killed. Little too much for a Nick show? Than again, original Avatar series did far worse :-?

Should be fun :D

[MiBs]

I really hope Don's biggest fear isn't tied into April. Honestly, he's known her for how long? If he places her above his own brothers or father then something is seriously wrong.

I think it's possible that his worst fear is not being able to find a cure for the mutagen - failing as a scientist and thereby failing to help Aprils dad.

[JH24]

Their main fear will be likely about losing each other as a family.


Leo could be failing as a leader and his brothers getting hurt or even worse (There was an episode about that in the OT series)

Raph maybe about losing control of his anger one day with possible deadly consequences.

Don, as the post above me said, possibly about failing to find a cure for the Mutagen, for April's dad, for Timothy, for everyone. Or failing as a scientist and failing everyone in general because they depend on his knowledge/quick thinking.

Mikey, maybe about feeling useless and his brothers/family not wanting him around anymore.

[victory_angel]

Leo's fear-Failure is more then likely because all of season one he has modeled his leadership skills after other people namely Captain Ryan and Splinter. And as Splinter said in Follow the Leader "How can you expect your brother to follow you if you don't trust your own instincts?"

So Leo's nightmares will involve him failing to effectively lead his brothers which will result in his friends and loved ones meeting being captured and/or killed.

Raph: Cockroaches may be included in his nightmares, but largely I see his fear of letting his anger issues and fears be a direct cause in the deaths of his family.

Donnie: April will be involved in said fear. But it will be more like all of his efforts and inventions to help his family and April are all for not and instead make things worse. Resulting in not only April's capture at the hands of the Kraang, but the others telling him he's pathetic, nothing but trouble, and off the team.

Mikey: I see a fear of being left behind, as in his brothers are all captured. And there is nothing he could do to save them. I mean after all in parasitica, Mikey was on his own, but he was scared the entire time his brothers weren't there to help him.

April: I see her greatest fears being tortured at the hands of the Kraang and the Foot Clan, and her father and splinter, while Donnie and Casey are too busy fighting each other over who should save her.

[JTH]

Raph: Cockroaches

Leo: Losing his Sensei and brothers to Shredder

Don: Not being able to help April and his brothers, causing them to hate him. Specifically April. (Which would lead into Metalhead Rewired)

April: Donnie being turned into a monster like her dad (Which I believe if they do this fear, they're foreshadowing it and it's going to happen in the show)

Mikey: A world without pizza! (Yes it's comic relief. But one of the turtles has to have a fear where they can snap out of it quickly and be able to help their brothers.)

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Maybe Leonardo will fear snakes again

[BubblyShell22]

I was just going to say that maybe Leo's fear could be snakes, heights, or failure.

Donnie: Failing to find a retromutagen cure and failing to save April may be two fears.

Raph: Losing his brothers because of his rashness. Fear of letting his anger get the best of him so he puts his brothers in danger or hurts them.

Mikey: Losing his family and being alone possibly.

[TMNTmousers]

Leo- Losing Splinter to the Rat King
Raph- Becoming Shredder
Mikey-Something with Leatherhead
Don-Has to be losing April
April-Something with Don

[MaximeLoonatic]

-Leo: as like in the 80s, it would be snakes; or that he fail as a leader and loose all his beloved ones because of him.
-Raph: cockroaches or course! But aslo he loose control and destroy or kill something/someone important to him.
-Donnie: that he'll never get loved by April. All his inventions fails, he find himself... Well, without plans, without solutions. The fear to have not knowlendge.
-Mikey: That he lives in an altarnative universe where pizza never existed... Joking! I think that he'll fear that he find himself alone or that he's trapped in a place where people treat him like a monster.
- April: the Kraang capturing her and that because of her the turtles get mutated once again. Or maybe bats; because her fault for her father mutation

[Sage Ninja]

I am HOPING Mikey isn't given a stupid fear....for comic relief :cry:

don't hold your breathe.

[blindturtle02]

Yeah hoping they take Mikey seriously too but not getting them up too high. Seems like Ciro is one of the only guys who get him in this incarnation.

[MiBs]

I keep wondering why Leo is pointed out in the episode description

Description up for Fungus Humungous:

S02, E10 Fungus Humungous
A fungus mutant spreads through the sewers causing April and the Turtles to experience their worst fears; Leonardo must face his greatest fear.
2/16/2014 *


Maybe they'll focus mostly on Leo and have some of the others have "minor" fears that are less character developing (Raph battling some roaches and Mikey living in a world without pizza, maybe). It would be great if the fears brought something interesting to both Aprils and all four Turtles characters, but I guess it's hard to do that in 22 minutes

[JTH]

I am curious to how this will play out.

During the Mikey "Mouth to mouth" clip in the promo clip, Leo/Mikey/Raph are together, Donnie and April aren't.

I'm wondering if April and Donnie are elsewhere and discover this fungus mutant first (ah la Monkey Brains) and are the first affected.

Cause it does seem weird they're not all together.

[MiBs]

I don't think this is necessarily from the fungus episode....or have I missed somthing?

[bridgegrn]

I feel like Mikey really wants to belong so I can see him having a fear of being rejected by everyone because of who he is.

[JTH]

I don't think this is necessarily from the fungus episode....or have I missed somthing?
I guess it could very well not. But if it isn't, what episode would fit a scene with Leo blacked out on the floor with Mikey and Raph not looking very anxious to try and wake him up?

[BabyTurtles]

seriously guys..... A world without Pizza.......

you really think that's gonna be Mikey's fear? :ohwell:

(that BETTER not be Mikey's fear :x)

[JTH]

I don't see what the issue would be if Mikey had a comic relief fear, wouldn't that in turn be a source of strength? Not fearing something that could effect you in battle would seem to be something every ninja/warrior/fighter strides for.

If it was Leo that had no dark fear, we would say it makes sense because a true warrior must never allow fear to cloud them in battle.

If we could say it for Leo, there's no reason we couldn't make the case against it for Mikey if they put a spin on it. He is after all a character that in a way, his non-thinking works as an advantage.

it's just...personally I want it to be more deep.....

I mean Mikey is always the comic relief....wouldn't it be interesting if he had a real fear...like being alone....or left behind....? He can be the comic relief any day...I want to know that he's more....than JUST the funny guy.

I don't want everything he does to be a joke...ya know?

[snake]

Yeah, Mikey should be treated better.

Of course it would be interesting, but Parasitica and Squirrelanoids has already shown us that he can be alone or have ideas on his own and still get the job done, he has shown he can be more. They have shown he can be the hero, they have shown he can be more than just the "funny guy".

That's why it doesn't bother me if they do this because in it's own unique way, it shows even more strength to Mikey's character that he doesn't have a "True Fear" unlike his brothers.

[BubblyShell22]

Well he did state that he didn't want to live in a world without pizza in "Karai's Vendetta" so it does make sense. However, I agree that he should have a better fear than that.

[blindturtle02]

I'm thinking this is going to be another ep in which Mikey saves the day. I hope there's a bit of comic relief on his part but I'm thinking since he's into a bunch of horror movies/comics, he'll get center stage again which is great. I think the writers who really get him have him serious when it's time to be serious, yet quipping a bit when the chips are down. Hope we'll get him doing a bit of both. . What if his fear starts out rather comical with the world facing a pizza shortage? Then he might face a more serious fearas Fungus' spores or whatever begin effecting him more severely. EG every human knowing about the TMNT yet fearing and hating what they don't understand since Mikey tends to greatly desire a human friend. That seems like it'd fit as a darker fear for the guy. I mean, doubt we'll get both but ya never know.

[MiBs]

That's actually a good point.

It's not like I'm hoping that Mikey will have a comic relief fear, but I could definitely see it happen. If it's something more deep I agree with the left behind part. That his brothers wont take him serious and ditch him. We saw Mikey being upset about it in "Mikey Gets Shellacne"

[victory_angel]

If they are going to focus on the fears of each turtle. I can see them start with something comical, but making it more serious. Such as Mikey going to play a prank on his brothers and they don't seem to notice he's even there. So is fear would be if he doesn't exist.

Donnie has expressed a fear of behind as well. But it's more like he's afraid that his best efforts aren't good enough. For example in Metalhead he has stated that the robot made hims feel like he's invincible. And in third story in the Tales of the Turtle Lair comicbook on Nick.com. Donnie has a moment where he tells Splinter that it feels like no matter how hard he trains he feels he can't keep up with his brothers. So see his fear possibly being that he does try to help save April and his family, but his best efforts still meet with failure.


April has sort of come to see the Turtles as a second family. Splinter has of sorts become a second father to her, and she has referred to the turtles as her brothers. And we know that Donnie and Casey are the closest people to her in her life. So anything happening to those two would be devastating to her.
