Worst Timothy Episode

*Papenbrook* · 08-05-2014, 10:55 AM

Which episode is the worst episode with Timothy as one of the main characters?

*Shark_Blade* · 08-05-2014, 11:13 AM

Every single one with him in it.

He's only better as Mutagen Man.

*NinjaPug* · 08-05-2014, 11:18 AM

Both episodes with Timothy/Pulverizer in them were terrible solely because of his annoying qualities. I think he's the worst character in this universe so far.

The MM episode was okay. I honestly don't care if we don't get any resolution to his storyline. I hope we never see him again.

But I figured he was purposely written that way. I found him annoying too, but at least he meant well.

*IndigoErth* · 08-05-2014, 12:41 PM

The episodes judged only against themselves and not on any basis of them being bad episodes... Imo, the last one prob.

Annoying character in either form, but as human just an eye roll sort of annoying. Once he went ballistic as Mutagen Man and decided April should be his friend and go all crazy hunting her and suddenly he's against the Turtles... just euthanize him.

If we're just talking pre-mutation, if I have to choose then prefer the first at least for the Turtles dealing with finding they've got some kind of fanboy to deal with.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 08-05-2014, 12:47 PM

All of them. Also, while everyone was shocked by his mutation, I can freely admit that I laughed my ass off in that scene.

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-05-2014, 01:02 PM

Timothy was just as annoying as Zach in the 80's cartoon who joined the turtles.

To be honest I wouldn't say any of these episodes were really bad. Timothy was simply written as an obnoxious fanboy, I think we were supposed to dislike him.

Aside from this character I really enjoyed these episodes. "The Pulverizer" gave us the Shellraiser, Xever finally being useful again, it showed us Donnie in a context without April (and that doesn't go without saying!) and gave him in a nice responsibilty and burden in the form of Timothy. And that scene with a poisoned Raph still cracks me up every time!

"Pulverizer Returns!" would probably be my least favorite, I did like the part with them switching weapons and having to adapt to something new but I admit Timothy really dragged down the mood. He was becoming way too dumb, even for my taste. Hell, Ralph Wiggum would have been ashamed! And I didn't feel sorry for him at all when he mutated. The only good things were the weapons, The Shredder and the Kraang working together and Donnie finally being inspired to create Retromutagen.

The episode with Mutagen Man was okay, I actually quite enjoyed it. Mainly for Donnie's conflict and Timothy getting what he deserved. This ep really marked the moment where he became my least favorite character in this show. Blaming the turtles for his mutation? I admit, it felt pretty good when he was frozen at the end.

So all in all, even if you dislike the character like me, you can still enjoy them simply by taking pleasure in Timothy's pain.

*victory_angel* · 08-05-2014, 03:27 PM

I feel there is an ulterior purpose with Timothy. The Pulverizer we have Donnie taking on a teaching role and it isn't that he's a bad teacher it's more like the Pulverizer is a bad student.

The Turtles have been trained their whole lives as ninja, and in their first time on the surface they make the choice to use their skills to defend innocent people from harm. They aren't heroes for fame or glory, they are heroes because they feel it is the right thing to do.

Being a hero is not just training to make yourself faster, stronger, and better then others. Its also being in the right place at the right moment and deciding to make a difference. Such as the people who rushed into help others during disasters such as the Boston Marathon bombing a couple of years ago. The people who rushed in to help the wounded were considered heroes.

The Pulverizer on the other hand wants to be a hero because he thinks its cool, but he also wants the glory that comes with it. As he said "I don't have time for the basics, I want to be a hero now. Show me the good stuff."

I think Donnie did recognize that while Timmy was an idiot, he truly did want to make a difference. So when the Pulverizer is mutated I was left the impression that something in Donnie may have shifted.

I really don't get the hate for Timothy. Yes, he's flawed, but I don't think he's that bad.

Aaronardo · 08-05-2014, 07:02 PM

Of 3 episodes? k den...
I thought he was a terrible character until when he got mutated, when I found out that was what was to happen the whole time, he didn't really seem that bad. You honestly feel sympathy for him, which is why he is a flawed, yet well-written character.

That's how I felt about him. Besides, he was purposely written to be that way.

This is my feeling on Timothy. My least favourite episode is Mutagen Man Unleashed.

Mr Null · 08-06-2014, 10:00 PM

All of them. I am so glad they didn't given him a bigger role this season like they threatened us with! haha..

Season 2 overall is such a vast improvement over season 1. Just a tighter, more exciting experience. And a lot of really good new editions to the cast (Casey, Slash, Tiger Claw and Rahzar).

*ssjup81* · 08-06-2014, 10:13 PM

I really feel they should conclude his story in some way. I hope the retromutagen works for him and that he learns a lesson from it.

Lou 500 · 08-07-2014, 11:07 AM

"The Pulverizer Returns" was extremely dull for me. My attention actually waned from the screen a couple of times.

*snake* · 08-07-2014, 11:31 AM

Pulverizer Returns until he becomes Mutagen Man.

Midnight Mutant · 08-07-2014, 01:32 PM

I love Timothy! He made me laugh with everything he did! The way he irritated the sh!t out of everyone was amazingly hilarious!
It really shows how much Donnie loves his brothers enough to put up with their bullsh!t (especially Mikey's ) because you see how short his fuse is with Tim. xD

I was so heartbroken when he became M.Man. Mostly because his dialog was extremely dumbed down and I liked his blinded excitable ambition when he was Tim.
I think Mutagen man unleashed was my least favorite (Tho, he wasn't really Timothy so I don't know if that counts). Pulverizer returns wasn't as strong as pulverizer, but, I still liked both episodes a lot.

We were suppose to feel the same annoyance as the turtles feel around him and I think the show succeeded, which means he was a spot on character.

*Metalwolf* · 08-07-2014, 01:41 PM

I never really felt much annoyance with Timothy, I actually kind of liked him. He sort of felt like an everyman character to me. However, I truly don't like Mutagen Man. He's just really gross and I'd love it if Timothy got demutated and got a chance to learn to be a real hero. Keeping him frozen without using the next batch of retromutagen on him would just seem cruel.

*pennydreadful* · 08-07-2014, 07:16 PM

Agreed - I want to see him de-mutate and become his own kind of hero.
