Cliche means something that happens so much that it loses its appeal. In this case, a "dark" character is waaaaaay overdone. Dark Link, Dark Pit, Dark Sonic (Shadow the Hedgehog), Evil Ryu, etc. And that's just video games.

BttS was the first thing that came to mind when I learned they were doing a Dark Leo story. It was interesting that Raph was the one to have difficulty converting back in that episode, which makes me sort of want to see him go Dark. He has the most raw power, so it would be intense to see him go against his brothers without restrain.

that'd be cool *_* dark Raph...I like it~

Uhm yeah I guess it is something that is done a lot in this kind of show. The ep from BTTS in which they turned gotta be one of the few eps I truly liked from that season.

Mmm maybe the one that turns doesn’t 'go bad' per se, but rather changes sides to infiltrate the foot and gather intel on something that makes sense with the ongoing plot at the moment. However, Shredder could call the bluff and come up with a way of brainwashing said infiltrator to make him work for the foot. The other turtles could probably come up with a way of turning their brother back in the following, or even in the same ep. I feel that way this could work and not feel like something that's been done too many times in the past.

I only suggested Leo for the change since he is the only one I could see turning. Dark raph sounds pretty cool though.

it would be interesting if it lasted more than 1 ep

If it's anything like what was done in "The Apprentice" from Teen Titans, I'd be all for it.

Evil clone a la Fast Forward? Yes.

Brainwashed and Crazy? The show already did this with Karai, so I doubt it.

*victory_angel* · 08-12-2013, 06:00 AM

I can see evil and twisted clones of the turtles serving on the side of the Foot.

In TCRI there was a perfectly good opportunity for the Kraang to take some DNA samples from the Turtles when they were unconscious.

*Powder* · 08-12-2013, 06:03 AM

The part of me that loves his new design in IDW says bring it on, but that's just because I'd love to see Nick Leo wearing all of that awesome apparel. Do I really want that to happen in the show story-wise? Not really, no. As others have said, it's cliche.

Now this sounds like a good take on it and something that definitely could be done. I'd love for it to be Leo because I'm biased like that, but I think Dark Raph would also be cool or any of the others.

My thoughts exactly

I guess if they eventually wound up wearing armor for a special battle, the same level of awesomeness could be achieved without anyone having to switch sides.

Btw, when are we getting a dark leo toy from the comics? Those would sell like crazy

biganimefan · 08-12-2013, 10:41 AM

Dark Leo would be interesting but we already have that for IDW and kinda in season 4 of the 2003 series. I would like to see a Dark Mikey as a few fans have suggested. I think it would give him some much needed character growth even if it's for only an episode(would prefer at least 2 or 3 to explore that better though). Dark Donnie would also be interesting.

*NinjaMan* · 08-12-2013, 10:54 AM

I hope not. I don't like IDW direction for the Turtles. Let's keep their ideas to that book.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-12-2013, 11:23 AM

Are Mike or Don being "dark" are not worthy?

It'll be interesting to be honest, an unexpected turn of event. We could see brute Raph and swayed leader Leo turned to the dark side. But no one suspects the brain or the jokester to turn sinister. It'll be devastating.

that was my first thought when i saw this, and if it is done i would hope its like that!

But i really dont see that in this series, shredder seems to just want to kill them, if he gets his hands on a turtle i cant see him taking time to brainwash/convert them.

So, yeah id like it to happen, but no, i dont think it will

I can see Don going rogue in season 2. Casey shows up and April falls head over heels for him and his "Vigilante Bad Boy Personality" and in effort to win over April's affections Donnie attempts to become a vigilante himself (The Dark Turtle).

When it doesn't actually work he is heartbroken and runs off only to be consoled by Karai... you see where this is going

Luigiperps · 08-12-2013, 12:40 PM

I want Mikey to get brainwashed while infiltrating the foot, but for him to then over come, proving to his brothers that he has strong traits.

like it, but how many brainwashing episodes do we need, we already had splinter brainwashed by rat king, leo, raph and donnie brainwashed by the wasp and kirby brainwashed by the shredder. just one reason i feel we'll not have a dark turtle in this series.

We've already seen them fight their master, each other and kinda fight a friend, i think theyre all brainwashed out

I'm all for brainwashed Mikey XD or dark Mikey whatever

it'd be totally unexpected and the other turtles wouldn't know what to do.

*Donatello19* · 08-12-2013, 01:23 PM

No. I can't imagine him joining Shredder anyway. And if they do make a turtle join the dark side, it should be someone else.
