Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 21: Darkest Plight
 

After an intense episode last week, we are now given it's continuation "Darkest Plight". The Turtles are looking for Splinter, but quickly find out they are the ones being hunted.

Things are rapidly coming to a head as season 4 crawls towards its inevitable conclusion. Remember TMNT is now airing at 9 AM on Sundays.

It's up on ITUNES Now

oh by the way



Thats the only spoiler i've seen so i'm going to do what I did last week, keep away from spoilers.

Dudes … I really have been anguished watching this episode …. but the plot twist inside the main plot twist was very good! Anyway, there is still a scene from the Nick trailer that didnt appear in the last 2 episodes :/



PD: There's a scene between Bebop and Rocksteady very cute and awkward at the same time XDDD You will see

So is it like

Yes, a very well done scene

it was making me think of that very scene from the comics as well

Holy ****!!!!!!! that episode was the most darkest I have ever seen, :o, I loved it, even though some moments made me sick. :D

I can't believe that some of the moments in the episode got past the censors.

Well everyone has said it. I got it animated now I just need to see it on the silver screen.:D

MOD EDIT: Good god man, SPOILER TAGS! And maybe stop being an insufferable annoyance. Maybe they are modeling Nick Shredder after you...

Img too big put in spoilers or find smaller images.

Holy hell, spoiler those pics. They're way too big.

That why i took another dose to i can become even more monster and stronger. After i kill turtles and splinter i will take retromutagen and become human again!

I wanted to show evryone what i did to the turtles!!

Oh, wow. Two righteous episodes in a row!

The beginning stuff with Splinter was brutal, especially the bite. I have a pretty bad fear of falling and they made that pretty freaky, especially him banging off of all the steel. Then his leg was so mangled!

The RK stuff was perfect, too. Whereas Splinter was born a rat in Mirage, it made sense that Yoshi didn't succumb and eat a rat. Although, in the comics it happened over the course of several days, so maybe he eventually would have cracked. So cool that they showed his skeleton! Makes "Of Rats and Men" even cooler in retrospect.

The rest of the stuff was awesome. Leo had some great combat moments, and Raph and CJ had a cool fight with B&R. I was so ready to see Karai finish Shredder, but I guess that won't be until the finale.

Oh, and new opening stuff! And Rise of the Turtles flashback! (Who voiced Leo for that?)

I give it a 9/10. Loses a point for Mikey, Bebop and Rocksteady being so annoying, and April being so powerful.

Wow, that was a really good episode! Pretty dark, too. Poor Splinter (and Leo! Goodness, that boy has been through the wringer, too). I was wincing through a lot of their scenes; I swear my leg was aching in sympathy.
Loved Karai and April in this (you go, girls!), although we know that April's crystal is bad news.
Looking forward to the next episode :D

Shocking moments in the episode

Super Shredder deformed arm
Splinter's broken Leg
Splinter putting his broken leg back in place with that bandage
The whole Rat King delusion
Rat King's skeleton
Blood coming out of April's nose
Leo getting beat up by Super Shredder
Karai punching Shredder in the heart and he throws up green stuff

Ok, why couldn't the movie be shocking and dark like this.

Sorry not so sorry but:

EDIT: when did blood coming out of April's nose happen? I didn't see that

When she throws a truck in Super Shredder.

Right before her eyes glow blue, right?

So...did the Rat King turn into a literal Rat King?

LOL about Splinter surviving the fall. How many times has Wil E. Coyote survived 'em? Overall, these last two episodes have been very tense with so much action going on, and I thought R&B's "let the Turtles do all the work" was funny, along with the breakdancing gab.

A bit OT, but I'm glad to see Nick putting out some programming to get me excited about, from the return of Legends of the Hidden Temple to a new season of the Paradise Celebrity show.

Show Grade: 8/10

It was like a Invisible Woman moment

Holy...! That was an intense episode. I'm not complaining, but some moments were really gruesome. Loved them nevertheless but I wonder how Nick got away with them. Leo screaming in anguish, splinter and Shredder falling and the whole hallucination.
Love The fighting in this episode. Though I wish Don and Mikey will have some moments next episode!

9.5/10 for me (minus points for Casey being annoying as always, and Mikey talking with Bebop and Rocksteady)

Ha, yeah. He did pretty much the same thing in New Animated Adventures #8 (an issue that I consider to be canon with the show).

A very intense episode and some dark moments too. It was awesome to see RK and that adaptation of the comics as well since I know many fans were predicting it would happen. Loved the fight scenes and I feel so bad for Leo getting beaten up by Shredder again! Let's hope he gets some payback soon because no one messes with my boy in blue and gets away with it! At least they found Splinter so they can be whole again. Also loved how Karai and April teamed up. Overall, a pretty awesome episode.

Was I the only one getting Tim Burton vibes from the Rat King monster?

Has April transformed into Eleven from Stranger Things.

I think Shredder throws up Mutagen? That why is arm be weird for Mutagen leave his body..

- I like this Ep...look for see next one...

More accurate is Jean Grey.

Splinter surviving the fall didn't surprise me. It wasn't a straight drop for him, right? It's like Casey back in the ep where he fought Tigerclaw. It wasn't a straight drop, so the impact wasn't as strong.

I liked their team up too, but it would've been nice if Shini had been involved too...and I still want to see Casey meet her. lol

Splinter must of gotten more injured when he hit those steel beams though.

The concussion he probably suffered did more than the fall.

Okay episode, really liked the scenes with Rat King and Splinter but felt kinda annoyed that this is the third time the cast was sad that "Splinter was gone" and Casey is still annoying.

You're thinking of Jean Grey

Oh god, I never noticed that. Time to sit back and wait for the Stranger Things jokes. However...why is this the only time there's blood in this episode? Between all the times of foot crushing and rat bites (which will bleed like a b****), this is the time that it shows up???

Some really good fight choreography in there; Season 1 Tier. That's about it.

The writing was definitely better than last week's though. Does anyone who wrote this one? Felt like there was real effort made to develop Splinter's introspective character arc and Shredder's relationship with Karai but ultimately it went nowhere.

Did enjoy how dark it was (actually cringed when Shredder's arm deformed the first time, that was AWESOME!) and even the Episode Title itself seems to have been given more thought than usual.

On the subject of continuity, THIS is more like it; Rat King's addition was clever and actually fit in with present context without just being a dumb throwaway line.

6.5/10
