Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep11: "The Pig and the Rhino" - Page 2

RandomtasticFantasy · 03-08-2015, 09:46 AM

I really liked this episode. Even more so than Battle for New York. The entire fight scene was great but I really enjoyed the roller coaster. Kinda annoyed that Kairi ended up captured by Shredder but all the same, interested to see where that will lead. I hope not back to her being a villain and dragging out her finally being a good guy (or an anti-hero).

As always, I lived Rocksteady and Bebop is finally starting to grow on me. I enjoyed that he hated his name and his talking to much being being a sort of weakness for him when he fights.

Shedder beating them both (and taking a rhino charge head on) was just...damn. I'm interested to see how the turtles will actually manage to defeat him.

If you're anxious for the next episode, it's out right now on the Nick website!

Is there any other way to view the hour-special outside of Nick's site which can't work for me in a general sense? Neither Amazon nor iTunes seem to have them.

What happened with April here? Did she get knocked out and captured or something? Judging from these comments at least.

Huzzah · 03-08-2015, 10:24 AM

So, Rocksteady seems a credible threat, with his strength and speed, I'm hoping they don't nerd these skills in future episodes like they did with Dogpound and later him a Rahzar. I'm sure they will though.

I'm personally hoping Karai, Bebop (or is it BeeBop ala the van) and Rocksteady form their own splinter faction. I don't expect we'll see Karai become a "good guy" any time soon. I mean all three of them have no reason to trust Shredder seeing as he is responsible, plus I'm sure Karai will be convinced that the Turtles are also responsible, as it seems that's the thought of Bebop and Rocksteady, so why not have a team against both sides.

Either that, or maybe have Tigerclaw leave the ranks and take a couple mutants with him, I don't see him following Shredder to terribly much longer, especially with Shredder seeming to be so one-tracked minded as of late.

Also, I laughed harder than probably appropriate when Bebop leveled the retro-mutagen gun and said, "Time for the Next Mutation." Referencing a terrible series (that I really liked) or referencing the original title for the thankfully never put into production 4th movie (though some of those designs did kind of creep into the 2014 Turtle designs). Either way, I laughed.

Rocksteady and Bebop are awesome in this show. I love how Bebop says things like, "Homie," and, "Oh snap," and "Son" too, it keeps it real and reminds you who he is.

I'm waiting for people to start complaining about racial stereotypes.

Considering Rocksteady kept saying things like, "Da" and "Nyet" I don't see the problem. Rocksteady says Russian things and Bebop slang, its who they are.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 03-08-2015, 11:00 AM

Very fun episode, not much to say about this one, although Bebop's slang gets annoying after a while. 8/10.

*TigerClaw* · 03-08-2015, 11:19 AM

Anyone noticed the Warriors reference, When Bebop says. "Turtles! Why don't you come out and play!"

Bitsy83 · 03-08-2015, 11:22 AM

I really liked this episode, too. I know people are complaining about B&R, but honestly, I like them better this way. I mean, better than being the incompetent nimrods they were in the old series. Rocksteady is pretty smart and has a great backstory other than just being a street thug and Bebop hating his name was great (I'd love to hear him shout "MAMAAA!" though)

Now....since Karai got captured, does this mean B&R are going to tell Shredder about the Retromutatgen? They didn't really figure out that it was DONNIE who made it, though. And, to be fair, Mikey was the one who perfected it, so will Donnie be taking the fall for it? Or will Shredder just capture all the Turtles and force it out of them or whatever. I really hope Shredder focuses on Donnie alone, though. I know we're all looking too much into it, but that "You mean nothing to me" line might be significant.

*Vicky82* · 03-08-2015, 11:32 AM

Calling it.

When the rumoured dark Raph story happens, Raph is captured and Karai will hypnotise him to turn against his brothers and join Shredder.

CowabungaMikey · 03-08-2015, 11:35 AM

Awesome ep!

But did anyone notice, when Leo attacked the cardboard thing in the ghosthouse, when he put back his sword, he already had 2 swords on his back

Huzzah · 03-08-2015, 11:38 AM

I noticed the two swords thing as well, but honestly it was small enough to easily be ignored.

*Donatello19* · 03-08-2015, 11:46 AM

This was an awesome episode, it finally feels like S3 is really starting up now. I absolutley love this new take on Bebop and Rocksteady! Anyone else catch the little Next Mutation reference?

Now I'm gonna go watch next week's episode on Nick's website! I'm so glad they put it up early.

What happened to her:

Spoiler:

I almost forgot about Splinter, his absence made me thing he was still missing. I love the roller coaster scenes.

Syb3rStrife · 03-08-2015, 12:27 PM

Really loved this episode, especially the rollercoaster fight scene. Definitely enjoying the new Bebop and Rocksteady as well. Looks like the turtles have finally found some formidable foes (besides shredder).

Also, nice to see Leo and Mikey team up for a change.

*Autbot_Benz* · 03-08-2015, 12:30 PM

Nick Bebop & Rocksteady are miles better than the fred wolf versions.

*ToTheNines* · 03-08-2015, 12:34 PM

Loved the carnival setting! The creepy vibe reminded me of IDW's Ghostbusters second arc, it wasn't Coney Island though... Poughkeepsie I think.

Rocksteady and Bebop had a great dynamic. I like Rocksteady better, I feel like they're just going too over the top with Bebop's crazy skill set, his high pitched squeels and stuff. I mean, where the hell did they even get the idea for all that whackiness?

The episode was kind of sad, and I'm definitely left wondering where Karai's arc is headed.
