That's all it took! When you're a kid, once something loses your interest or pisses you off, you pretty much just leave and don't come back. I still haven't watched those episodes after all these years. I tried an OT marathon once, and I couldn't even get through the first season. I was spoiled by the movie and the 2k3 show, so I like the more mature plot lines over the goofy stuff.

Hey'll get used to it, he used to complain about the other replacement for a while and now he misses it

I am also disappointed that is seems, though I cant say for sure that any development that Donnie could have had from being in charge and dealing with guilt is not going to happen. I feel like they have to be building to something with him. with all of the promises he makes and the way he blames himself for things that are not is fault, but it just doesn't seem to be happen.

New rule of the show. If writers said that a certain character is going through a "change" (sarcastic air quotes here) then what they really mean is that the said character is going to change for at least one episode and then revert back to freak'in status quo.

Couldn't even get through the first season? Are you being serious? Its a light-hearted kids show, you know what it was going into it

Dom really was the perfect Bigg's replacement.

So, who is worst for you, Seth Green, or Johnny Knoxville (I just want to be clear, I have yet to hear Seth talk for Leo, so I don't know if I will like it or not. I am going in this with a positive head, as I usually like Seth Green in most of his stuff.)

Ok, as one of the biggest complainers of Dom as Leo, I've got to say sets voice isn't quite what I expected. But I kind of like it. My biggest problem with Dom was that while yeah his voice matched Biggs, he had little to no inflection. Seems like Seth will do fine. Can't wait

Episode looks great! New backgrounds and areas! Fighting even better than season 2

Knoxville was alright as Leo. Odd casting choice, but so is Seth, and he sounds like he's going to be great.

You know, As similar Dom's voice was to Bigg's, I didn't really like it because I felt he didn't emote well enough.

I like the guy, but I'm still not to fond of his voice acting.

I'm actually really looking forward to Seth's version.

But this could either turn out really good or really bad, so let's wait and see.

That's the deal, I'm not really into light hearted kids shows anymore. I changed my ideals as I grew up.

So far they've only said that about Leo and Mikey, minus the new VA of Leo.
Oh, that and some thing about why Raph is the way he is for an episode.

They said Mikey would keep evolving over the course of the show without changing the loveable side of him, guess will see.

Cartoons don't need to be all mature and angsty. That's the reason Nick's TMNT is a success, its humourous and aimed at kids.

I gotta agree. Dom was decent as Leo, but the way he delivered some of his lines sounded a bit....off sometimes.

[Bitsy83]

You know what, guys. I was concerned with the voice change, too, but I must've watched this clip like five times now and...I like it.

Yeah, it's weird to hear a different voice coming out of Leo, but I've dealt with bigger casting changes than this.

--Donnie in Secret of the ooze.

-- Raph in the last few episodes of the original series (I am a HUGE Rob Paulsen fan, so that was especially heartbreaking for me).

-- Becky on Roseanne.

-- Brody in Iron Man 2.

-- Doctor Who.

Seriously, though, I felt that Green is putting way more emotion in the fighting scenes than both Biggs and Dom ever did. Don't ask me why, but Biggs felt...off during the action scenes. He did the lines, fine, but I guess since Green has more experience as a voice actor than Biggs had, he knew what to deliever.

Loved Biggs as Leo and the same goes for Dom, but I am really excited to see what Green brings to the table.

But the new show has enough seriousness so I can get passed the humor. Some humor is great, like Leatherhead grabbing Donnie's face. I can watch that over and over and it will still put a smile on my face. Now, Mikey's random burps, I can live without. But, you never would see an episode like Slash and Destroy in the old toon, and Raphael was sarcastic, not tempermental. Not to mention the villains were kind of on the dumb side. I just grew out of that stuff. Hell, there was a time when I would stay up all night to watch a Jackass marathon, now, today, I'm like, WTF was I thinking?

Since the invasion would be at their doorstep at any time the Turtle Mech could at least slow down the Kraang invasion for a time as we do see it more or less disable the Krang primes mech suit.

Leo has had an off an on issue with trusting his brothers, particularly Donnie's in this season. Lately with Leo has had a "my way or no way" mentality through out season two.

I wonder if they would look into that further.

that is totally right. that is what should have happened. a good leader would have done that. it seems so simple. leo can take a small group to set up a new base, while the others stay behind to help Donnie with the mech.
I also thought. it leo wanted to just leave the city, does that mean that he wanted to just leave the city to be destroyed. leo at this point actually seems like the worst choice to be leader. milky showed he could do a better job. leo just has to get over himself and listen to his brothers, judging from the clip if he has to save them again, then I don't think that will happen. he will keep thinking that he is always right.

Cubed, we all understand that you love the OT show, but can you stop forcing your opinion on others.

[Powder]

Seth woulda been a good Leo if he was there from the beginning, but as it stands now, it's just super jarring & doesn't really work for me. If they can make an excuse for it in-series, I'll cope. Ya know, like, maybe Shredder kicked him in the throat & damaged his vocal cords, or something. I dunno. I wasn't sure about Dom at first but he really came into his own & I came to love what he was doing. I'm gonna miss him.

I'm serious when I say, if the writers really hate Raph that much and have such a hard on for Leo and Donnie, then just get rid of Raph instead of bastardizing his character. I just don't understand what went wrong. Season one was great, because it was mostly equally focused, each Turtle brought something to the team. Season 2 in the beginning, was decent. But lately, it's been way too much the Leo and Donnie show, and it's pathetic that this is the second season finale, and Raphael has been absent for all of the good fight scenes. It's lazy and uncalled for.

I agree with you in part. yes raph and mikey get bady under used. Donnie is my favourite so at first I dont mind because this is the only time he has been give any real importance as a character. which seems insane to because they would not be able to do half of what they do without him. I disagree with you only that when they do use raph and mikey it is great. they don't get much screen time, but when they do they shine and are just great. they were the bets part of the final for me. that hug scene was great. the problem is yes Donnie may get more screen time, but he is never really cool. honestly when was the last time he was allowed to be cool and badass really. he is just used to be made fun off, being a dork. which is fine, it make him cute, but that is all. what happened to episodes like metalhead and monkey brains, when he was dork and badass. he has the least to do in the final and apart for the fight with leo and the scene with april has just seems to subtly direct the other. i get why he did that, but it was annoying. he never really got fight. so honestly i would rather have my favourite character used less but better, then more and poorly. that is just me.

Ironman's military buddy. In the first movie, he was played by Terrence Howard, but then Howard began to bitch about something and Marvel replaced his ass with Don Cheadle for the rest of the series. What's even more amazing, the fact that Howard bitched even though he was the highest paid actor on the set, even more than RDJ!
