Was that final battle a homage to Turtles in Time? Don't they battle Baxter on a skyscraper construction site?

Watched the episode. Loved Antrax and Scumbug, maybe even more than the original concepts!

The fight scenes were very fluid and fun to watch.

My only complaint is that Shinigami was nowhere to be found and that Karai looks dumb with just the helmet. She should have the full Lady Shredder armor

*CyberCubed* · 08-29-2016, 05:01 PM

I'm still not fond how some mutants can talk and others are just silent. It really doesn't make much sense.

*Powder* · 08-29-2016, 05:03 PM

It was the same way with mutants in the OT & 4kids series though. Mutation isn't something perfected, it's an unnatural alteration so there are bound to be inconsistencies. I think Nick's handled that better than anyone, considering how many freak shows have been the result of modern ooze.

Haha, the trigger happy bastard police. They were probably Trump supporters too and Brandon Auman put some of his political commentary into the show. Hahha.

No because the police have called mutants hippies once before in an episode. I think they did it in the Muckman episode and they may have done it in Mutagen Man's debut episode. I just think they're misinformed and think all mutants are hippies.

I'm slipping. I should've made that joke. lol

Yeah, I've had bad experiences with PMs in the past. Post to my wall.

But weren't these two particular cops actually Kraang? After all, in the second invasion, they tried to arrest and when hit one with his hockey stick it revealed the disguises were holograms

Just a matter of resource recycling.

I just realized something. If the police report the "hippies", would that aggravate any anti-mutant groups?

No, I think it was the Brooklyn Bridge.

*CyberCubed* · 08-29-2016, 08:17 PM

Heh rewatching this ep Baxter yells, "Homies" while flying around the construction site. I can't recall but did he ever say that before? Usually its only Bebop who says stuff like homie, dawg, son, and oh snap. Heh they can only have Baxter and Bebop say that stuff while Rocksteady is a stereotypical Russian.

Meliwen · 08-29-2016, 09:59 PM

I was always under the assumption that the turtles knew Japanese, but Raph didn't know what 'this means nothing' meant, and if Splinter wants to use the same trick on the others, then they don't know either. I guess they just know some basic words Splinter uses during training.

*IndigoErth* · 08-29-2016, 10:54 PM

Poor Raph. Good to see one focused on him working on overcoming one of his weaknesses. Likewise the one-on-one with Splinter, doesn't happen enough.

Funny when he freaked and ran off, leaving Casey with the bugs. Although I can't say I blame him though, those self-cloning ants are enough to scar anyone for life.

And I guess Leo is still mad at Karai... lol

Either that or some paid attention more to their Japanese Lessions then others. I can certainly see Raph being more interested in Japanese swear words then really learning a language of a country he doesn't think he would ever visit.

I dunno if it was an homage, but yes. Big Apple, 3AM. An under construction skyscraper.
