Dark Leo. Could it happen?
 

So if you are caught up in the IDW comics (if you aren't please do yourself a favor and go read them) you know of a certain development that ended up bringing Leo over to the 'dark' side. Could this potentially happen on the nick show? And, if so, would you like to see it happen? I personally would love to, just to see him clad up on foot gear and fighting against his brothers. As for the reasons for the switch, I'd probably say brainwashing (or something like that) since Nick shredder is kind of an assh*le and there is really no argument that could convince you otherwise. Though teenagers can be manipulated more easily than adults, so who knows. As to why shredder would be interested in doing it, I think that the good ol' "I'm gonna take everything you hold dear away from you" still applies. Besides a Karai/Leo team up against the other turtles? God, that'd be amazing.

Thoughts?

Edit: Poll added!

I could see them doing a brainwashed Turtle thing already, they pretty much almost already did it in, "Parasitica" already.

But honestly I prefer not too. Dark Leo is too cliche for the comics.

I could see it happen but i think would be cool to see Raph turn.

What do you mean by 'too cliche'? Do you say it because they would be basically doing the same thing IDW did?

It could be interesting, but it would take some fantastic story writing to turn such a noble character like Leo into being an accomplice for such diabolical motives and go to the "dark side". They could maybe pull off Leo being against Splinter, but it would quite a feat to be against his own brothers and to go out harming the innocent (since that's what the Foot Clan does). And knowing Leo's sense of honor, it would be nearly impossible for him to go through with it.

I highly doubt it could happen, but I would be very impressed with Ciro and the Nick writers if they could make it believable if they strum just the right heartstrings on Leo to join the Foot Clan.

There's also another artwork of "Dark Leo" with Karai here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...6&postcount=59
If anybody is interested in the artwork.

It would be cool to see City Fall adapted, but not this early in the series, I'd have it in season 4 as the ? Part finale.

eeeh....Dark Leo everyone would see it coming....but Dark Mikey! that would be outta nowhere!!! :D

...but honestly...I don't really want any of them to turn Dark...unless it's just for an episode

Please don't I always hate it when the leader/main character goes evil and somehow kicks all the assess of his/her teammates, we seen it in teen titans, xiaolin showdown, and in TMNT idw, it is my least favorite trope of any medium

yea..that's half the reason why I don't want it to happen

I forgot to mention that too, it's an all too predictable plot line if it happens to the most noble character and the incredible remorse that character experiences afterward.

Dark Mikey would rock.
I could just imagine him attacking his brothers and getting mad at always being treated like an idiot.

that'd be cool...but Mikey is too good to turn evil XD
unless he's brainwashed or something.

He's easily convinced, though. Shredder could convince him to join the foot with Pizza and stuff. Or tell him that he won't be labeled dumb anymore.

Why is it that nobody remembers them doing this in "Back to the Sewer"? The design is even similar.

Because no one wants to remember BTTS.

I enjoyed it just fine. People here should show more respect for the 2003 series.

:flaming: This makes me angry. I like to believe Mikey is more than those petty stuff.

Now out of all the boys, Leo got converted, twice now if you count 2k3 Leo going to the Foot story arc. Is he actually the weakest of the brothers to be persuaded by the dark side? Would the other brothers fell for it too?

2k12 Leo also fell in love with a Foot ninja - Karai anyone? So he might be going to the other side soon too...:ohwell: It is indeed a possibility.

tbh, im kinda hoping 4 something like that cause I like the whole "conquering the dark side within" thing

aww but it would be so much cooler if it happened to 1 the other 3 turtles instead.

not the weakest, the strongest per say with his leadership, which is why it happens alot, the strongest becoming corrupt is a popular plot, for many shows
