Season 2 Finale
 

I just saw the trailer. It looks like Shredder and the Kraang definitely are gonna hold all the cards to defeat the TMNT and friends. As Casey stated, this is gonna be a lot worse than the Technodrome thing last year. So, who else is excited for it!?

I am. I agree that having the Invasion of Earth once again is going to be a bit repetitive.

The Kraang will do the invasion that is known as the Invasion of Earth, but this time with the expression that is known as 'for real'.

Yeah, this thing is gonna be a full-out invasion of Earth, and even Shredder's in on it...This ain't gonna turn out so well as last time. I know that the writers have to have the turtles win, but the real question's gonna be "at what cost"? The Technodrome invasion 1 year ago was nothing compared to this.

By the way, that screechy Kraang reminded me a lot of Ch'rell. I could even swear his suit has pointy bits.

Very excited for the finale. The trailer was awesome and I imagine these next few episodes are going to rock. Sounds like the turtles won't get a breather until season 3.

the trailer got me super excited as well. Nice with some news after a month without new episode. Only downside is that we'll have to wait (more than) a month before the final four

i dont think the invasion is going to be as repetitive as we think, because i dont know if their goal is just terraforming the earth any more.

also with shredder joining in on the havoc, its going to be epic. were going to get 3 shredders fights, all out in broad daylight

I'm super excited for the final! Especially this 'Leo One-Shot', they usually handle that part very well and I just love it!
Hopefully they really have to leave NY, would be a cool cliffhanger for season 3.

And with that comic being Ciro's favorite. It must have been a thrill for him to make it

Yep, definitely can't wait for the finale, especially the Leo one shot. That'll be awesome for sure. Ciro did state he's always wanted to adapt that comic, so I know he'll do it justice. And this is so not going to be repetitive of season 1 now that Shredder's in on the action too. There's going to be a lot going down, and I can't wait for it.

I'm looking forward to the final, hopefully it will take my mind off the movie (as it comes out on Oct 17th over here). I have a feeling it be a 3 part episode.

Maybe he is Ch'rell, like how Kraang Prime is basically the original Krang.

I'd be surprised if Shredder is actually going to be aiding with the invasion. Unless he is really deluded and thinks the Kraang will install him as Earth's leader (more like puppet leader) then I think he'll end up getting betrayed by the Kraang while the Turtles are away, and getting his own fair share of ugliness thrown back at him.

Either way, the Turtles and gang are gonna have their hands full.

The first time he was either turning to a blind eye to what was going on outside, or he just didn't care what the Kraang intended so long as, Hamato Yoshi died.

This time yeah he's in on the fight, but even then both the Shredder and Kraang are hoping to betray the other once they have what they want.

Well, Shredder has his hands full if he decides to fight back against the Kraang.

Using the Halo Wars: Technological Achievement levels from the Halo Wiki (they pertain well in this case too):

Humans-
Tier 4: (Space Age) Tier 4 is often the final resting place for species intelligent enough to break free from their cradle's surface only to fill the gulf surrounding it with war. Their comfort-focused technology can include medical advances.

Humanity reached this level in 1957, when the first artificial satellite was launched.

Humans are still at this stage.

Now we have the Kraang:

Tier 1: (World Builders) The species has the ability to manipulate gravitational forces, create AI with full sentience, fabricate super-dense materials, perform super-accurate Slipspace navigation, (or in the case of the Kraang, something very near like it) the ability to create life, and the ability to create worlds.

Tier 0: (Transsentient) ...this is a theoretical ceiling. It is suspected that they can travel across galaxies and accelerate the evolution of intelligent life.

I don't know hwo Shredder will do it once the Kraang get serious. It's one thing when there are only a few Kraang, but once they go full invasion they're only going to laugh at the primitives throwing their equivalent of rocks and sticks at them.

September right?

Yep, the final episodes of season 2 air in September though we don't know exactly when during that month it'll air yet.

I'm actually doing a video run down of the trailer and coming up with some theories and speculations as to the events.

This is what I've culled so far.

Couldn't post here as my thoughts exceeded the 10,000 character limit. Put it on my blog instead http://tmntreviews.blogspot.com/2014/08/season-2-finally-speculations-based-off.html

I hope season 2 ends with most silly mutations (Karai, Mutagen Man) being cured.

I am not a big fan of the Kraang in this series. It seems like the eps focusing on them aren't as good. Well, for me at least. That being said, the trailer does look good. And I am looking forward to it. I'm actually hoping this will get rid of the Kraang for awhile.





SPOILER!!!





Plus Leatherhead is back!!

I agree with that. The kraang episodes are not as good as the other episodes. In the OT the episodes that were focused on Krang especialy the ones that he was fighting the turtles were much better than the kraang episodes of the current series. That because it was more enjoyable seeing a huge robot with red underwear and sunglasses that had tons of different weapons fighting the turltes than the generic alien kraang robots.

not really cause the design 4 the ot kraang stunk and was really thrown together

I think what happens is that the Kraang and Shredder join forces to take over the city and exterminate the turtles. They find the lair and capture Splinter while the turtles escape, forcing them to seek refuge at April's apartment, somewhat similar to the first movie, 4kids, and Mirage. They then rescue Splinter, but Leo is severly injured by Shredder. After stopping the 2nd invasion of NY and/or surviving the attack on the apartment, the turtles then escape to the North Hampton farm house, setting up the plot for season 3, where Leo will heal and recover from possible PTSD, similar to Mirage and 4kids. Depending on how the plot is handled, the turtles will go back and stop the Foot Clan once and for all like in Mirage and 4kids.

I could be wrong since this is created by Nickelodeon, and not anyone that worked at Mirage. Although, I'm possibly right considering what was shown in the trailer, the Capril/Apriltello sneak-peek storyboard, and the similarities to what happened in the first movie, 4kids, and Mirage.

It's not really PTSD but ASD. If they explain he was suffering from PTSD symptoms for over a month it would be PTSD.

ASD as in Atrial Septal Defect or ASD as in Autism Spectrum Disorder? Or is it something else?

Acute Stress Disorder

This has me excited

Just that frame is enough to express how intense this battle is going to be... The ultimate clash of no holds barred good vs evil!

I sorta like the Kraang. I find them amusing, personally, but it's still ironic how they're not....the brightest around, eh? Seems by now they would've learned how to fire their weapons better. lol

That aside, I'm really looking forward to the finale, mainly for Mikey. I want to see how they defeat Gilbert Godkraang with Donnie's mech. I'm also pretty interested in Leatherhead and why he's going to fight against Shredder or what's going to cause the confrontation. Shredder has no connection to Leatherhead. Could he have come to Leo's aid during the battle and ends up fighting Shredder as a way to protect Leo? Something like that.

I think it's that they saved Leather Head from dimension X in " Into Dimension X " like the IGN writer who wrote about the TMNT SDCC booth said

And you would think the foot would know how to swing a katana by now :lol:

The shredder fights are going to be epic. And we basically get 3 of them!

I wish the season final didn't evolve the Kraang at all and was about Shredder V.S the turtles instead.

Now Donnie / Raph / Mikey are going to miss Shredder and be focused on the Kraang invasion :ohwell:

LOL Shredder taking on three fights in the final.

I'm right there with you my fellow Englishman. :tcool:

Really looking forward to the finale, that trailer looks awesome.

Oh my God, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

I would literally scream if the finale ended on a cliffhanger such as the very last shot being Leo thrown through the window.

No, it was definitely PTSD. They didn't really express it in the 2003 series, but in the comics, Leo practically did nothing for about a month. He couldn't hunt deer, and it took everything he had to save April from drowning.

I think they're saving the Turtles vs. Shredder finale for season 3. It would be a good way to send Shredder off. But a few more Shredder fights here and there would be nice.

I actually do believe they will kill Shredder in the show even if it's Nick. They basically killed the Rat King, and LOK killed two characters with a suicide, and one recently by suffocation (Although, that was online.)

And I really hope Raph, Mikey, and Donnie aren't oblivious to Shredder. I wanna see those 3 go berserk on him just like the comics, especially Raph.

I'm sure they are aware of Shredder, such as the lair evacuation they know the Kraang are probably taking Splinter to Shredder. And as much as they want to save their teacher right then. They know that there are numerous innocent people who come first and they would need to rely on the hope that Splinter can stay alive until they can get to him.

I'm sure Splinter is going to get out of that on his own. What I meant was I hope they show the 3 Turtles fighting Shredder in April's apartment when Leo is thrown through the window. I mean, they did show this image at SDCC.

Maybe April's dad turns back into a mutant.

Tiger Claw betrays Shredder and confesses he has fallen for Splinter~ <3 :D


But seriously, I think someone might not survive the Season 2 Finale.
