Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep11: "The Pig and the Rhino" - Page 7

CaliperCat · 03-09-2015, 02:29 AM

This was a really fun episode. I like the groups everyone got split into, since they were out of the norm. Leo and Mikey was especially nice to see, since they seem to interact with each other the least out of almost all of the characters. Maybe Leo was hoping some of his maturity might rub off on Mikey?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who disliked haunted house-type-setups as much as Mikey and Donnie seemed to.

It was probably unintentional, but I found it ironic that Greg Cipes' character ended up chasing someone through a hall of mirrors again. Granted, the mirrors here actually survived the encounter, unlike when Beast Boy was trying to track down Slade, but I still thought it was pretty cool.

I'm happy Zeck still acts like Zeck, and I loved the roller coaster battle scene. I think it's one of the coolest battles the show has ever had. I love how they handled Karai as well, at least up until she got captured again- I think it would've been more fun if the turtles would've had to keep tracking her down to test new retro mutagens on her, and each time a little more of her mind had gone.

Great episode. I knew Mikey was going to name Bebop and Rocksteady. Like said, I think that Shredder has too many mutants now. I think Rahzar and Fishface should be offed at some point...they're pretty boring nowadays. What are Mutanimals? I've never heard of these.

The Mutanimals is a portmanteau of "Mutant Animals." They were an assorted crew of mutants who were ally's of the Turtles that existed in the Archie Comics. They had a short lived spin off and a seven issue arc in the Archie comics before they were all killed.

Yeah I agree, Shredder already has a bunch of mutant henchmen so their introduction feels forced.

I mean not counting IDW since its not a show, Bebop/Rocksteady hadn't appeared from 1994-2009 until Turtles Forever, and then went from 2009-2015 till their next appearance.

So what? They're not essential characters, they're just disposable henchmen, they have always been disposable henchmen.

Rahzar and Fishface are only boring because they never get any quality screen time, they're usually in the background.

Fishface was actually quite good in the dream quest episode even though he barely featured. His fight with Raph was my favourite aspect.

This episode fun. Probably my favorite of season 3 so far.

A moderator. It figures. Then what you want me to do? If you want, I can post separately for him. I came to this forum to comment the episodes of the current show, not to have this argument. And I told you, that this the ONLY account that I have. Sorry for the caps.

Plus Shredder wasn't there when Mikey named B&R, so this makes sense. It may have worked in the 80s series, but hearing the Nick Shredder call them that would sound silly.

Well you could keep this argument outside of this thread, just sayin'.

Just finished watching. I thought it was a lot of fun. BB n RS were great, and the whole episode seemed to zip along at 100 miles an hour.
The dialogue was witty, and it was a nice touch to have RockSteady very happy to have his new name, whilst Bebop thought it was totally stupid and annoying. I think that was the writers way of getting in touch with their audience who would be divided over the inclusion of these two icons from the original show.

Yes. I know that, but he/she started it, first, so you also have to tell him/her that.

It's funny how his other account isn't here defending him.

Corny and hella old school, but I really want a "get moose and skvirrel" line from Rocksteady now. *L*

*Vicky82* · 03-09-2015, 03:03 PM

One thing that puzzled me, it was strange that the movie theatre was still showing movies and with the power out too (unless it had it's own generator)

I wonder if the Kraang kept the theatre open so they go see a movie on there break

I wonder if that black and white movie was foreshadowing something thats going to happen in the future.

I could see Steranko insisting others address them as "Bebop and Rocksteady." And if there's one person Zeck won't question calling him Bebop, it's Shredder.

It sounds to silly? Any sillier than a rhino man and a mohawked warthog fighting overgrown bandanna wearing turtles?
Truthfully, if anyone could make these names sound badass, it's this incarnation of Shredder.

I can't believe I caught that reference. Well, I can thank my father for introducing me to said moose and squirrel.
