Official Episode Discussion: S2 #5 "Mikey gets Shellacne"

[Vicky82]

Holy Crap! i'm speechless, he looks scary but I think it's pretty gutsy to show the exposed bones. Love the design though.

[NinjaMan]

Allio my bro thanks!

[OtakuX]

I feel like the only one who disliked him becoming Rahzar. Don't get me wrong, I love the design, and am excited to see classic mutants re-imagined, but I rather liked Dogpound, and would have preferred Rahzar be a separate character altogether.

Plus, I just got my Dogpound figure 2 weeks ago, and since I prefer to display my toys in a 'diorama' style rather than on a shelf, this means my Dogpound has to go into storage (it would make no sense to have TWO of the same character in my display)

[Airconny]

Yeah, I did like Dogpound the way he was before, but this will open up more possibilities for his character development, I should think.

This episode turned out better than I expected. The Rahzar thing surprised the shell out of me, the premise wasn't so bad, and the CG for the fight scenes looked amazing. The shading on their models really put me in awe for some reason, so I'm definitely going to take another look on this episode since I got it recorded.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Had some good laughs, so I'm anticipating next weeks.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, loved the Xever comment and DP's bouncing pecks. That was funny when I saw it.

Didn't don have a centrifuge already? You know, the one he got back on Parasitica? Does naming it a "molecular centrifuge" really make it something different?

Also, can we all picture don drawing those explodey zit diagrams while his brother’s life was in danger for a sec?

Spoiler:

Yes, donnie, they look great. But did you really had to color them?

Also, why didn't mikey just call his brothers when he found dogpound and stockman? He does carry a freaking T-Phone in his po... somewhere.

Apart from that, this ep was super goofy. I usually can get past the silliness, but this one was just too much. DP turning into Rahzar was cool though. Kind of saved the ep for me.

Mikey wants to start a hip hop group with a mummy? Hilarious.

Thank you so far I seem to be the only one who notice that? Me and my bro's complained about it the entire episode even though we enjoy it. Just seem lke a glaring plot hole in this episodes plot.

[TurtleTitan97]

And people thought this was gonna be a lame episode. I loved every bit of it! Totally surprised be Bradford's second mutation.

[Electric]

Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but I liked how they showed frozen Timothy in Donnie's lab

[saber16]

*Slow clap*

The fact the crew can take an idea as un-BELIVABLY stupid as Mikey getting a case of mutagen powered zits- and still make a great episode despite it just... blows my mind! They could have easily turned this into a shameless and effortless "Joke after joke + predictable ending where Raph gets it" episode, but this goofy plot device mixed with the seasons plot moving forward, Karai taking charge, Fishface and Dogpound taking measures to become human again, the return of Dexter Stockmuffin, introducing the idea of a second mutation with the birth of the hellish looking Rahzar, great fights and while I wasn't a big fan of the pimple/gross out jokes, they kept it to a minimum while adding in a bunch of other humorous things-

"Is this this the centerfudge!?"
"No, that's a beaker."
"Is THIS the centerfudge!?
"That's a microscope."
"IS THIS THE CENTERFUDGE!?!?
"THAT'S THE SAME BEAKER!"

And don't forget... Raph's Eggbra VS. Dogpound's epic pecs!
Well played, Ciro and team... well plaaaayed....

Yeah, caught that too. Well, it would have been insanely stupid to just leave him right behind April's place.

Well, this is Mikey... and he was definitely having a, "Fine! I'll do it myself!" moment... and again, this IS Mikey.

Not sure what I think...I mean it's cool and all but was in necessary?

Yes it was. Dogpound would have gotten stale as he is, and its a cool way to reinvent Rahzar.

[BabyTurtles]

fav qoute

Rahzar: (walking toward Mikey) *Raawwwwwr!*
Mikey: "Rawwrr" yourself you razor faced dog!!!

XD Mikey was just 1000% done at that point.

Maybe to you. It's all about how they use/write him.

I think its fantastic. Dogpound WAS getting stale, all his fights were just swinging his arms and being clumsy. I'm glad they realized this and updated him to the quicker Rahzar design.

Remember this show can't have the characters remain static for years like Bebop/Rocksteady, it needs to change things up.

And its fantastic to see Rahzar back, especially since people felt Dogpound was somewhat similar to Rahzar in the first place.

I liked Dogpound, but Rahzar's design is so much cooler *_* that's the only reason I like the decision XD

oh! and he seems less clumsy now!

[Karai Samurai]

Holy hotsauce that was unexpectedly great! I'm so excited for DP's second mutation. I didn't like that although Xever kept his awesome capoeria-style moves, Bradford turned into a massive wall smashing Kool Aid man after his mutation. Rahzar fixes all of that.

I'm no scientist but I assumed there are different types of centrifuge?

Though he really is nothing like the old Rahzar other than both of them being mutant canines working for the Foot.

[BabyTurtles]

do the turtles have like a heal factor or something?

cause those zits were literally bursting outta Mikey's shell......
