Official Episode Discussion: S2 #4 "Mutagen Man Unleashed"

**Machias Banshee** · 11-06-2013, 10:01 PM

Sorry about the technical difficulties last week... but now we can get back to our regularly scheduled program.

This season seems to be a big one for our dear Donatello. He has had his hands full since last season, but it doesn't seem like it's going to get any easier.

Donatello is plagued with guilt right now - Pulverizer, who was ever so eager to be a ninja (who looked up to the turtles as role models), took too big a risk and cost him his humanity - his life has been ruined by mutagen. Donatello had promised to keep him out of harms way... but he failed.

The turtles tried to stop the Kraang from delivering a shipment of mutagen to the Shredder. But in their cockiness, they unleashed a torrent of mutagen canisters upon the boroughs. Their foolish actions put the city in danger, and it cost Donatello the one loving soul whom meant more to him than anything...

His brothers tell him to relax and focus on collecting the canisters - April would calm down eventually... right? They don't know the pain that plagues his conscience.

So now Donatello struggles with his studies of the mutagen to find an antidote - a retro-mutagen. A way to make things right again... to stop the Kraang and cure their victims. To make April love him again.

If Donatello knew the new figure entering April's circle, who knows how desperate he could be to keep from losing his April permanently.

Will the wit and skill of a skull-faced hockey vigilante woo April back to her character's destiny portrayed in so many other reincarnations?
Will Donatello succeed in creating an antidote?
And what danger could it put his family into if it got into the wrong hands?

Stay Tuned!

Looking forward to this episode. Not only because of Casey, but also because I'm curious what they're planning for Mutagen Man.

Haven't read the summaries or watched the preview, but I'm kinda hoping something good will come out of this episode for Timothy/Mutagen Man.

*Shark_Blade* · 11-09-2013, 06:23 AM

Heck yes, Casey's finally here!

They're lips don't even match what they're saying I could never watch a show this bad...

Split Second later....

*ObiWanFan4life* · 11-09-2013, 09:05 AM

I don't know why, but this Casey reminds me of Xander Harris. Oh God, Donnie's now become a full blown stalker.

*Electric* · 11-09-2013, 09:11 AM

So far I love it.....

Who's Xander Harris?

I'd say he's more like Dr Venkman.
He's after the girl and has all the confidence in himself.
The ego is definitely there, but there seems to be genuiness/honesty about his character that April might actually go for.
Very cool that his hockey skills are his special ability and he can really pull off some awesome moves.
Looking forward to the new Playmates toy figure of him.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-09-2013, 09:40 AM

Wow this may be my favorite of the season so far!
It was so creepy yet cool seeing Mutagen Man evolving through the episode!
He was growing more organs and what looked to be muscles in his arms and legs through the episode.
I really didn't care for Casey so far but he didn't get much screen time.
The humans on this show really suffer from lack of detail.
On the same note though I'm very glad we are seeing more people in the streets even a man driving a car.
I have to wonder if that cat that got hit with the mutagen is ok though.
I'm really glad Donatello has a heart and they didn't kill Tim.
They really need him I think to figure this all out.
Either that or capture a Kraang and force it to tell them how to reverse the mutagen.
I have to wonder though what in the world are Mutagen Mans arms and legs made from?
Oh btw the name Laird on the back of Mutagen Mans arms and legs made me really happy since he created the character, that was really sweet of them to do that.

FANTASTIC episode! So much going on... April's still mad at the guys and even turned off her T-Phone! Poor Timothy's lost his mind and is the key to building the retro mutagen! An awesome debut for Casey Jones as well. Seems like he'll be a fun character this season. Can't wait to see him don his crime fighting mask and gear! I also really liked how they ended the episode...
