Cast your vote and remember...HAVE FUN!!!

Mikey Gets Shellacne

Rahzar for me.

Newtralizer! For me. More Slash fun paired up with the badass that is the Newtralizer compared to Rahzar menacingly appearing on the screen only to get his ass handed to him on his debut.

I thought the double mutation would make Bradford more of a menace, but he stayed the same joke afterwards as well.

Newtralized for me...It has action and suspense that keeps you interested.

Mikey gets Shellacne is cool and all particularly since we get to see a second mutation take place indicating that is possible.

However it's an episode where Mikey is doing something stupid when he should have known better.

Mikey Gets Shellacne. I liked the fact that Mikey left and did everything on his own. The double mutation was nice too.

I picked Mikey gets shellacne cause it's a Mikey episode :P and Rahzar was pretty cool~

-I also didn't like the fact that Slash turned good so fast in Newtralized....and 'Racka racka racka" :blanksta:

That seems like a reptile tic.

Tough choice, but then I found these tie breakers and went for Mikey:

M: No way! Not while I'm covered in gross, slime-filled zits!
D: Technically, they're pustules filled with oil and sebum, which is even grosser than slime.
L: Uh, not helping, Donnie, but thanks. MIKEY!
M: Forget it, guys. I'm too hideous to be a ninja. I'll stay locked away in here, FOREVER! And even longer if I have to.

And this:

FF: If you're going to make him human, then I want to be a man as well. I want to live as a man, love as a man. Not as a fish. Do you hear?

I love how this show sneakily inserts mature stuff ever so often. :tlol:

*remembers April's butt pose when held captive*
*remembers Mikey's "hey we're not that kind of sub" comment*
*Don’s comment “Hey guys, guess what April and I were doing” - all the others sat silently, their teenage minds in dirty thoughts*

Ah, bless.

When I originally saw that and he said "love as a man", I was like, "I know what he's missing out on." lol

Newtralized for me.

While I like the introduction of Rahzar in Mikey Gets Shellacne as well as the comedy I like Newtralized better. It was nice to see another side of Slash and to see that there was still a friendship between him and Raphael which can be explored further.

17-17?

Oh for pete sake...:lol:

So...what happens in the case of a tie?

^^^
If the poll ends in a tie, the TB will be done during the next matchup.'

People can just post who they want to win the Tiebreaker in the next matchup's thread. When the next matches' poll ends, voting for the tiebreaker will end also.

Then both matches can be determined at the same time.

Only one hour of voting left.

Tied at 19.

One person's vote could make all the difference! :teek:

Wow, still tied.

Lol 20-20

*munches pop corn in anticipation*
