(Sorry I have tendency to over analyze things just bear it)

I was finally able to watch it, and like others here watched it like three times a row

. I never read the comics, but this makes me want to read the Leo one shot really badly. Animation has truly gotten amazing. I did find a little odd that April couldn't sense Irma being kraang, did not see that coming. And wow… so much emotions given by voice actors.

Raph not going to rage mode, after seeing Leo beaten up, to me it showed some serious development in his part. Not losing control, but instead taking the role of carrying and protecting him. Maybe he bottled it up, when splinter was tossed in the water he could not hold it in anymore, and let it all out. And that gave me the moment where I almost fell from my chair. (I was already on the edge of it because of Leo’s fight scenes) Mikey jumps in to hug him and tells everything’s going to be ok.

That is who Mikey is, the one who refuses to let go of hope, even in the darkest moment. And does not let the others do it either. He keeps pushing them on. Telling they could do it together. And only when hardest fight is over let’s himself have a moment of doubt about their future, and seek comfort from his older brother. So yeah for me Mikey was spot on.

I might be digging too deep with this one, but the scene where Splinter was telling Leatherhead to stop trashing that kraang, was bit similar to Mikey calming down Raph. I started thinking that maybe Mikey is (very very very slowly, in the very distance future) going to grow up, to be as wise as his sensei. Of course without losing his jokester nature, and everything that makes him Mikey. There have been these little wise words from him before. but that's just me thinking too much...
