S02, E13 Wormquake!
Leonardo considers asking Splinter for help while facing Shredder's new assassin; Donnie must put aside his rivalry with Casey in order to uncover a Kraang plot.
3/14/2014 *

Finally! Plots moving forward! I've been enjoying all of these episodes and all but it's to see things like this every once in a while

Leo's plot has me really intrested, more training for Leo looks like and wonder who this new assassin of Shredders is? What happened to Karai? Wish they'd had saved the Kraang plot for another episode though

Really looking forward to this

Pretty sure Shredders assassin is Tiger Claw.

That'd be flippin awesome! I was hoping for this, if that's the case man am I looking forward to it

I hope they work there way to an episode where Tokka and Rahzar have a vs Bebop and Rocksteady showdown. I always wanted to see that.

[BubblyShell22]

I definitely can't wait to see the sneak peek of the one hour special. I also hope it's called "Manhattan Project" as that title sounds better, but I bet like others have said that it'll be called "Wormquake" which probably alludes to the wormhole portals the Turtles have to go through in the episode. I definitely can't wait for Leo's plot, too. That's going to be awesome.

Casey's voice should be easy enough to pull off. I hope he says, "LAAAAAAAAAAW-BREEEEAAAAAKER!"

Yes to Casey sounding like Dirty Harry.

About the voices for this episode: Why wouldn't/couldn't/didn't they use the original voice cast from the 80's TMNT in Turtles Forever?

To put it quite frank, 4Kids didn't have any interest to use them, and didn't want to risk the audience wanting to see the 87' turtles more than their version, which quite frankly wouldn't have mattered anyway.

But now with Turtles Forever under the Nick property, I've been hoping that since they have invited the original cast for a cameo appearance in the new show, that there may be a slight chance they could ask the original cast to possibly redub their character's lines from the Turtles Forever movie and re-release the movie further down the line.

Wishful thinking I'm sure, but if they have the actors and the license in hand, never say never.

Yes, most definitely. Pay up Nick! They are worth it.

Are you sure 'wormquake' wouldn't refer to the Kraathatrogen creatures? I keep feeling that they might show up in this special given that the Turtles are dimension jumping in it.

[NinjaPug]

The title is definitely Wormquake! Nick put the clip from USA Today up on their site and it's labeled Wormquake.

I wonder if the Kraathatrogon is the reason for the earthquakes that cause the Turtles to travel between dimensions.

Yeah, Manhattan Project does sound much better. I loved that videogame back in the day and still do. Brings back allot of fond memories. The title Wormquake sort of reminds me of something called a Beamquake from Kings Dark Tower book series which is awesome in itself if the two concepts are similar. Don't really have time to go into all of that, but the Tower is basically the hub of all existence with the beams spreading out from it like spokes on a wheel. Beamquakes are when one or more of them have been shattered unleashing chaos throughout one or multiple realities. I know the writers have paid homage to horror movies, but it'd be interesting if they did so with horror novels or comics like the old Tales From The Crypt/Vault of Horror books. I guess they've managed that with Mikey's horror comics which thrills me to no end. Man, those books were gastly but fun. You'd see stuff like people melting into unrecognizable mush similar to Tim from what I've been told.

I'd love a new cut of Turtles Forever where the original cast could come in and dub their lines. But would they do it? I thought they were wanting to when 4kids produced the movie originally but there were problems with the whole nonunion thing. Maybe if we get an uncut DVD, they could include that alternate track. Yeah yeah I know, keep dreaming right? haha!

WTF? This is completely false. 4kids couldn't use the old voice actors in turtles forever due to union contracts, not that they didn't want to use them.

Of course they could have used them, if they were willing to financially compensate. They chose not pursue financial compensation, interest waned, and ultimately they chose to move forward with different voice actors and the rest is history.

It's the same union contractual reasons why Marvel was just this year able to release X-Men 4, Marvel lost the rights to film the Wolverine and Storm characters in an official X-Men Licensed movie (Hence became X-Men First Class 1 & 2). Only until Marvel compensated to complete a massive buyout of those contracts were they finally permitted to use those characters for an X-Men movie again.

In the case of TMNT, smaller scale, same situation.

Marvel isn't releasing the XMen movie this year. Fox still owns the film rights.

Hmm, it might have a double meaning relating to the creatuers and the dimensional instability. I hope the Kraathadragon are featured. Been waiting to see those cutesy cuddly disgusting mutagen seaping monstrosities. I wonder if they're sentient. Possibly telepathic?

I think they are sentient. When somebody (I forget who) showed a preview bio of them off of Nick Asia, the bio had them referring to themselves as 'we,' which it didn't do with other non or semi sentient creatures like AprilDerp. One thing I am intrigued by about them is that they can make mutagen in their bodies, but how do the Kraang get it out of them? I look forward to seeing how the Turtles react to all of this.

I just had a horrible realization:

Spoiler:

What if the Kraang....milk the Mutagen from them???

Actually that's not really that bad. What would be worse is if the Mutagen was worm **** like the Slerm episode on Future-Rama

It's... possible, unless the Kraang just pop those big blisters on the worms' backs.
