Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep22: "The Creeping Doom"
 

So, we go from hardcore historical episode, to toilet humored free for all to another "Mikey did something stupid and the others will suffer for it".



Photographic memory's great unless you only use it to memorize nasty pizza toppings that would send the most cynical food inspector screaming for their life.

So something will happen to Donatello, and he's going to turn into a less than intelligent shadow of his former self. Basically... a purple masked Mikey.

God help us all...

STAY TUNED!

30 mins to go and none of the Livestreams are working apart from 1 which is Nick channel from Canada and I assume they arn't showing The Creeping Doom today. :cry: So have to wait a couple of hours till it's uploaded on that site.

:cry: Sorry amica, I wish I could help out, just keep searching I guess. Little less than 10 minutes left.

Mikey's being so annoying lol poor Donnie

(Sighs)

It felt pretty forced this episode. He was being so extra

Lol at electric swampaloo. Ive always said any movie not smart enough to come up with a better title than repeating the first one and adding part 2 must have the subtitle electric boogalo to advertise their lazieness

And watch all the nonces livetumblr it (seriously, that's NOT what tumblr is designed for guys).

:roll:

Yeah I know but luckily i've only seen a few and I reblogged a couple of them.

Besides Mikey being an idiot in the beginning, I actually enjoyed this episode a lot more than I thought I would. It was definitely filler, but it was good filler. Loved the idea of Creepweed and I loved the fact that while the episode was Donnie focused, it still gave the other Turtles a decent amount of screentime, especially Raph. Raph got more focus than Leo in this one, so that was great to see!

I need to explain myself with something I posted a while back to explain why I was annoyed a moment ago with Mikey:

I personally think you can go beyond a simple trait for Mikey and Raph in the show, it's just never done. When it does though, it's excellent. Granted it's the end of the season, but just felt a little weak to end these four episodes from this month air with this after two strong episodes and Godzilla.

Overall didn't like this episode, the best part was the when Donnie came and saved the day. So I guess the last 7/8 minutes were good!

I'm not spoiler tagging anything, if you come to this thread without expecting to see talk of the episode's content, you're a dummy.

Anyway, THAT WAS FRIGGIN' GREAT! My two favorite villains not only teamed up but combined! Woo! Idiot Donnie was hilarious, as expected, Rob did a great job with the goofing off. Surprised there wasn't a Pinky reference, but it's alllll goooood. I like that everyone was a part of this episode, nice character balance, even Splinter, April, & ICK got their moments. CREEPWEED THO! What a sick design! All around awesome episode.

Goldmutant, I think it could possibly be because there's so many writers, how can you begin to maintain any real consistency with Mikey's development?

You'll have writers that go totally off the wall goofball with him because that's how they assume he's always been, and some that will have done their research and decided to mature him a bit.

Rather fun episode. Seemed knocks against Mikey's intelligence was a bit predictable, and a little overplayed... but decent episode though. Donnie... :lol: Although my fave part was prob when he showed up back to normal and destroyed the enemy. :tcool: But a lil' lost on the whole "Mikey's antidote worked" bit... sooo it made him stupider for a while before it kicked in?

Raph... did you really volunteer to be hit by the Creep? And Leo... ouch, he's gonna be sore tomorrow.

The periscope thingy in the lair, was that the first time we've seen it actually used?

(For a moment I was expecting that something cheesy like April kisses him would snap him back to normal...)

IGN review up

8.2

I heard that Raph was maskless in this episode. :D

Did any one catch what Donnie said at the episode that causes Mikey to lunge after him?
A family member started talking loudly during the end 😕

Granted, I did act on instinct. Great, just as impulsive as Raph is me. :roll: I screwed up again, just didn't think carefully. Just get annoyed when Mikey screws up, but I will say he was great again by the end. :)

Anyways, two episodes of Mikey in a row? That I love, first the awesome side from last episode and some caring developments to his family this episode. If I can say this, I personally wished Donnie could have referenced any of his previous roles barring the Wizard of Oz reference. Now, just bring back the Newtrailzer and possibly Mutagen Man and I will say most of the new characters/interpretations I'm satisfied in returning.

Barring the Donnie issue, if only it were longer, that concept at the end was cool, I really would have loved that. (Though I wish Snakeweed talked this time, though probably just a clone) Fun episode overall, just wished more Dumb Donnie could have been done.

And once more, apologies for my reckless snapping.

I think Donnie stated to Mikey that now he knows how he (Mikey) feels all the time.

You heard wrong.

Please explain this then

:D

Someone took a picture of their computer screen after photoshopping an image of Raphael.

yes as far as i know

And me too.

Well there is this

Nooo, there's totally a split-second where Donnie steals both Leo and Raph's masks and is running around like a lunatic in the background. It's when they're chasing him around after getting back after they initially kill The Creep and SnakeWeed before we get Creepweed.

This was so much FUN. Stupid Donnie cracked me up and even though the episode was kinda pitched as a Donnie episode, Mikey and Raph got a lot of highlight and Leo was def more in the background. And Creepweed was awesome and a great way to thin out some of the old baddies that have been piling up under the tag 'Not quite defeated'. Like how they turned Dogpound into Rahzar. Instead of forgetting old baddies, just make them cooler (or combined them and make them cooler. Heh.)
Also, I like that they're showing that April is still training and getting better: good enough to spar with Leo. That was cool. )

Also that was not the grasskicker toy that mikey was riding. At least it didnt look like it in the second scene. I was looking away in the first scene.

If he/they were maskless, it was very very quick. Didn't even catch it. (Granted I did a repeat of last weekend and hadn't slept, so maybe it's just me not catching something that was quick.)

That was VERY fun

Always great to see Snakeweed again

Rewatch and pay attention to the background where Donnie is running around with Leo and Raph chasing him. It's really funny! XD

Who gives an eff about Raph without his mask. Where's the pictures of Creepweed?

Was Mikey really stupid this time? Sure, in the beginning he was being a pain, but wasn't he sort of annoying Donnie just to be a pain in the rear brother? He did know how to make the antidote, could he possibly have a career in chemicals? It was odd, but he wasn't really stupid, he was more just trying to get attention because he was bored and things got out of his control.

This time though he seemed genuinely upset over his actions. I was hoping he would learn from this and not do it anymore from here on, but what the heck am I thinking? This is the Nick turtles where no one grows from experience.

Why didn't Donnie use the retromutagen on Timothy? He was in the background this episode and what about ICK? He needs to be restored to normal no matter how much I love him in his current state. That's no life for him.

Raph rocks so much! I love that he was exhausted from fighting. It was also the first time we got to see him without his mask, ever so briefly.

Did April get captured again? Lol

Caught it again on the other channel, not too clear and blink and you'd miss it, but saw it this time. lol

Prob Raph's fans who were disappointed last time they teased it and didn't show. :trazz: Which...was the first Creep episode. o.O


Also, :tlol: at how Leo sounded when he fell asleep.

Two episodes involving mutant combinations destroying New York in a row. That could potentially get the EPF's attention.

Does anyone see the point of cloning Snakeweed. Speaking of which, I wonder how the real Snakeweed reacted to the chaos Creepweed is causing.

Well damn, I missed that, & I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat for most of the episode, paying full attention. My bad, yo. I just wouldn't put it past Tumblr fangirls to fake some ish like they have in the past, so I figured it wasn't legit. Neat.

Fun episode with a few good moments. Absent-minded (but not completely brainless) Donnie was adorable and it was nice to see Mikey showing his combat prowess in the fight against Creepweed. However as an episode it's probably not going to make my list of favourites.

Did anyone catch what happened to the brain worm? Donnie was studying it at the beginning and IIRC it was left in the bowl. But then where did it go? Did they lose it? :O

I finally watched it, it was good but not a good as last week but it was still funny.

I love that Mikey has a photographic memory, it explains how he can make the antidote for Donnie and make the Retro Mutagen faster in Battle for New York.

I wouldn't have said that Mikey was acting stupid, silly yes but not stupid.

Leo gettting strangled by The Creep and seeing his eyes roll back was scary. :o

I liked Raph fighting The Creep that was cool, seeing Creep get impailed on a pipe was pretty gutsy for Nick to show :o.

I can understand that some people didn't notice Donnie running with Raphs and Leo's mask's it was very quick. :lol:

Loved Mikey's little vehicle he was using to fight the CreepWeed. :lol:

I'm guessing that wasn't actually Snakeweed but some sort of clone of him.

Not really one of my favorites.
I enjoyed the design work but Mikey really got annoying in this one.
Then he just threw a bunch of crap together and it didn't work and then it did?
And then Donatello is back to save the day because none of the other turtles are smart enough to stop these creatures without him.
I'm sorry but that's a bit of an :roll: for me.
On the plus side though there are some pretty funny moment in this episode which we haven't had in some time as the tone has gotten a bit darker.
It was also cool that Donatello had all of those things in his lab from their adventures.
It would have been cool to see nods to thing that we may not get to see in this series but the turtles did in off screen adventures.

this episode was meh it felt like a fred wolf kind of story . I did like the Creep snakeweed mutation though.

Funny the vehicle mikey was riding he called it the grasskicker when the grasskicker is the lawnmower from the playmates line.
