The Turtles/April and Karai Sparring under Splinter guidance?

[Warhorse]

Think we can get some of this in season 3 or later, where April and Karai will be part of the sparring the Turtles do under Splinter's guidance? You think the Turtles will go easy on April, or will they be hard on her on purpose so she knows what she is getting into? You think maybe we might see Donny or Leo, or heck, maybe even Raph or Mikey giving April some tips behind closed doors, or secrets on one of the other Turtles weakness so she can have the upper hand? Maybe we can get something where Karai is challenging the Turtles with their weapons, like, say, she does a sparring match with Raph with both of them wielding sais.

That would be interesting, it would be good to see the Turtles get involved a little with April's training and developing skills, and taking the trainer role a little might be good for them, too. I can't imagine them going too hard on her too soon, having been there they hopefully understand how much she's able to take so far. But I assume some amount of challenge would prob be beneficial to her growth.

Those two as opponents? I'll get the first aid kit...

Maybe it can answer the question that the one thread is asking.

Do you mean literally, or something else?

Not neccessarily. In the same exact episode, they could be sparring and Karai gets the upper hand and wins, but later on, the team is out fighting some bad guys, and Rapahel can take down an opponent that Karai could not, so we could be right back to where we started. Maybe Raphael holds back in the sparring matches unknowingly. Or maybe Karai doesn't have the confidence to really give it her best against Shredder's henchment. It could just be one of those things the world may never know!

LOL I meant literally, that definitely wasn't a euphimism for... other things.

With this fandom, I can truly never tell. I was just watching something on youtube about the Turtles trying to make breakfast in Shellacne, and someone was pointing out the weirdness of where Raphael was placing the oranges to squeeze them, and then where the eggs landed on him. Sometimes one has to wonder if the animator's minds are truly in the gutter when making some of these scenes.

Going by some of the stuff even Disney has hidden in their movies in the past, perhaps it's a side effect of having your life's work in children's media day in and day out...

You talking about that The Lion King scene? Well, I've noticed some people making comments of the Nick toon and it's butt fetish. Not just April and Karai, but I think they once showed Leo laying down with his butt sticking up in the air.

lol Oh yeah, saw that mentioned online, I think after Kari knocked him out? I swear, shows directed at kids are eventually only going to be about butts and butt related jokes. Suppose it's a perfect place to be for animators with a butt infatuation.

Turtles supposed to be about kicking butt, not awkward angle butt.

(And yeah, Lion King and others. Little Mermaid one was prob the worst I'd seen though that was the most clearly really there. lol)
