TMNT Season 2 Official Info Thread

[Powder]

The Leo adaption will be dope but I'm curious if they're still planning to adapt parts of Archie #22, as we had seen an old storyboard with the rat trap on it.

Come to think of it, that issue had a maze in it, didn't it? Maybe that's the next episode we're getting.

I doubt it as that issue had Shredder Vs. splinter and I doubt we're getting that right after they just fought.

Oh man, they're adapting that? That's always been an especially great moment in any given TMNT "universe" - and the 2003 series' version of that whole story was very well-done, so I'm very excited to see what this show does with it.

It seems that the nick show is going to the same way that the 4Kids went. It starts with all the turtles equally developed. And in 2-3 seasons we get a Leo's show with his brothers in it. For those who complained about the OT focus too much on Mikey and Raph congrats, now we are going to the second that has Leo as the star.

Don't misunderstand me. I still love the show, but I'm getting tired of having Leo as protagonist. If I were Raph or Mikey I would ask resign from the show, Raph only have the Slash plot now, and since he appears almost never, it dosen't help too much. And Mikey... well... I think that he has no plot at all. To be honest I think that if he didn't exist, it would change barely nothing to the history it self, what is really sad.

I have trouble seeing the Leonardo one-shot adapted without the Second Time Around shop or the retreat to Northampton. Just watching Leo get beat up for an episode and retreat to the lair with him won't have much impact.

If they don't do the full adaption I don't see it working well. Something makes me hope we'll see the Northampton farmhouse in this show, shouldn't be that hard to animate a set-piece with one house in the middle of nowhere.

[shredder orokusaki]

If the adaption is exactly as the comic was then in the end the turltes will go to Normathon. If this episode is not almost the same as it was in the 2003 series then it will not be a true adaption of the comic. But i beleve that it will be better if they make only totaly new stories insteado of adapting comics from Mirrage that already has been adapted in the 2003 cartoon. Better adapt a IDW comic not Mirrage again

Yes I agree why make 4 turtles when only one is focused on. that's why I disliked the 2k3 it was all Leo. just hope this version doesn't go the same way .

Nick does seem to focus on Donnie and Splinter quite a bit, too. Raph's had a few good episodes- not as many as Donnie and Leo, but I wouldn't say he's totally left in the cold and he does get some of the funniest lines to say. Mikey, well, yeah, Mikey is totally getting shafted, but at least he's cute?

So you're basically saying that based on one episode that features Leo it's going to be the Leo show? Hardly. All of the Turtles have gotten focused on during season one and two, and I'm sure they'll all get equal focus as the season progresses. This is just one ep that has Leo as the star. And as a Leo fan, I'm so not going to complain about that.

No, I'm not complaining about this specific ep. I'm saying in general. You can easily see that all the episodes that are related to the foot ( the main plot basically) has always Leo on focus, then you can say that is because he has his relation with Karai, but even when appears a new villain like Tigerclaw, who he would pick up for a fight? Of course, Leo again, cuz Donnie only knows how to build machines, Mikey is only the useless party dude and Raph has Slash, after all, he dosen't need more than a mutant that appears more sporadically than a eclipse.

But of course that if you like Leo the most, you'll hardly see any of this. I do like Leo too, but despise the fact that I prefer Raph, I want to see all of them being important.

yes this! why do Leo and even Donnie have to get all the important plots?

but seriously guys this is a problem....not all TMNT fans are Leo and Donnie fans.....they are ALL supposed to be important.

It's to make up for the live action films that always focus on Raph

I mean, do you see any live action films that are about Leo? Third one was close and would have made more sense but once again it's about Raph and sort of Mikey.

Ask for Mikey, yah can't awnser that one, he seems to be the writers least favorite to work with or some thing

As a Leo fan, I like it

Leo and Donnie are just characters that contribute to the plot while Raph and Mikey are... just there according to the writers. I think they can't come up with ideas with those two actually contributing to the plot at all. Doing those type of episodes for them isn't easy. If they do, it'll probably do justice for Raph and/or Mikey fans. We have 12 more episodes for season 2 and they'll do something about it.

[blindturtle02]

I think Ciro is doing his best to get Mikey where he wants him. Sounds like we'll be getting at least one more Raphcentric one in the latter half of s2 though. How many has Mikey gotten besides New Friend and Shellacne? Is that it? Well he was pretty much the expert in Squirrelanoids wasn't he? There was also Parisitica and It Came From The Depths. There have also been eps where all 4 are working together as a team like Kraang Conspiracy, Mutation Situation and probably more. I bet we'll be seeing more stuff focusing on Raph and Mikey. Doubt they'd make this series the Leo/Don show over time or anything like that. It'll hopefully last long enough for each of these guys to have plenty of moments to shine individually as well as together. I could certainly do with more Raph/Mikeycentric episodes myself. Love the ones focusing on the fab four as a whole, however. I think those are my favs.

If it weren't for Leo and Don the whole team would've been dead a long time ago.

well then I guess they should be the main characters.

let's all just forget about Mikey and Raph....since they don't contribute anything....and the writers don't seem to care about them anyway.


I hate this honestly....My favorite character is getting treated like crap...and I don't know if I can keep enjoying the series because of it.

Your phrase just proved my point.

[Leofan26]

To be fair, the 2003 series didn't seem to know what to do with Mikey either

Writers these days just don't seem to know how to work with characters like Mikey.

I always thought the 2003 series did an ok job with Raph at least and than those live action films of his.

I'm not going to say the other turtles don't help the group, they do. I do agree some what, Leo and Donnie help the team a great deal.

I don't know why they have so much trouble with Mikey?

he wants the world to accept them right? give him a plot around that!! Let a secret agent bent on discovering the turtles be his main villain!

the only reason Leo and Donnie help the team out more...is because the writers aren't showing how much Raph and Mikey could help. They are just focusing on Leo and Donnie's obvious skills.

I mean WHY give Mikey the job to navigate in the shellraiser if all he's gonna do is mess it up everytime! it's like the writers WANT him to be incompetent. It's like they aren't even trying.

That's the thing, I think they want him to be the Patrick Star of the series, only more love able and a slightly better fighter. Every show seems to have these type of characters, since Mikey is the one who makes the jokes of the group, well. The only series that wrote Mikey good was sadly the 80s series.

Well, to be fair. Leo and Donnie have always been like this in every series, even if they gave Mikey or Raph more to do that wouldn't change who they are. Leo will always be the leader while Donnie will always be the inventor, the man behind the science.
