That wasn't set up and pre-planned at all right Ciro?

Wow, I can't believe nobody here's made that connection! Betcha Black Nerd Comedy's gonna have something to say about it!

[senpai]

I'm so excited! Yay!

[Amaranthus]

This isn't really official info or anything. But f*ck that.
I know someone (Tom Fulp) and he was a background actor in a Toxie movie, so I told him about the episode.
This sounded a lot cooler in my head.

[Warhorse]

So, are Mikey and Raph still the only bedrooms we have seen yet?

[Groverman62]

I thought Donnie's lab was his bedroom

Don't you see Mikey's bedroom in the Squirrelanoids or whatever?

I don't recall ever seeing any of the turtles rooms. I never considered Donnie's lab as a room--a workroom, yeah--but not a bedroom.

Cool promo. Hopefully Raph gets a full on dark costume. Besides, playmates always wants to make more toys, so this would be a perfect oppertunity.

[GoldenFlither]

Hey guys, I was wondering if one of you could help me out. Is there a link to the high quality version of this recent promo? I tried to open the Facebook one but for some reason it says it's not available.

Please and thank you!

We see Mikey's bedroom in Squirrelanoids and Mikey gets Shellacne, and we see Raph's room in Slash and Destroy and The Invasion part 2.

I too don't consider Donnie's lab as his bedroom, since I thought the laid outdrawing that is on here shows there to be four doors, depicting four bedrooms, like we see in this pic.

I have the same problem. It'll be a location based video so as we're not in the US, we can't see it.

Ahh, that's a shame. Thanks very much!

[IndigoErth]

Donnie probably falls asleep at his work table enough that his lab may as well be his bedroom, but surely he has an actual room somewhere besides his lab.

Finally caught the promo once, if a bit blurry, mentally speaking. Had fallen back to sleep this morning with the tv on, but think I heard the commercial and woke up.

Yeah, Donnie does contribute, but it's usually just to impress April and one-up Casey. And when you have that for 1/6 of the episodes of a season, it gets REALLY tiring. Even the episodes that don't focus on him get me to sigh when he mentions April.

Also, Raph only got his spotlight in the 1990 movie and partially in the comics. 2003 was Leonardo heavy, 1980s had a good balance, and Secret of the Ooze actually focused on Donnie. Rather than giving us a balance, the writers just keep giving Leo and Donnie arcs, and Donnie's arcs are so damn annoying.

Well there's the metal head arc, which doesn't include April at all. Also, though retro mutagen started as an arc for Aprils dad, it's turned into him making it for the entire city and now specifically karai. Mutagen man brought in April slightly, but its way more than that, of Donnie trying to protect and keep his promise to Timothy.

Also, you seemed to have left out the fact that Raph had most of the spotlight in both the 2007 movie and the 2014 movie, in addition to a lot of the comics and the 1990 movie. When in doubt, raph gets the spotlight, with Leo following close behind. I agree that an even balance would be nice, but I'd much rather let Donnie have a little more focus when raph normally hogs it, and has his "damn annoying" can't control my anger/whoops, something bad happened because of my anger story arcs


However, still looking forward to dark raph.

Give me a break. It's not any more annoying than Donnie's I have a crush on April or look at me. I saved the day again shtick.

Huh? That's the thing, Raph hardly has any focus at all except for a couple of the movies. In the Fred Wolf cartoon, it was Mikey and, gasp, Donnie. Go watch the first season and you'll see what I mean. In the 4kids series, it was mostly Leo and Mikey. Donnie would be right behind them and Raph would be lucky to get so much as a single story episode, every 2.5 seasons. Other than that, he was reduced to being a punching bag for Leo so everyone can see how superior Leo was to everyone else. The comics, never read them, but it seems to me the focus was mostly on Leo or Donnie.

The movies, lets see, 1990 Raph has the focus, but Leo is the one that lands the cut on Shredder, and heck, Raph was knocked out a good portion of the second half of the movie. SOTO, Donnie is the focus, the third movie, Mikey is the focus, 2007, I feel the focus was shared between Raph and Leo. 2014, sure, it was Raph, but he didn't do anything in that movie. Nobody did, it was a piss poor movie and something I would rather erase from my memory. So don't give me this crap about Raph hogging up the spotlight, when it is simply not true. Heck, the Dark Raph might not be his focus at all, it's probably another arc that is going to showcase how superior Leo is again. Think back to the 4kids series where Donnie was turned into a monster. He may have turned dark, but the focus was on Leo and him coming up with a plan to turn him back, showing how superior he is that he don't need his other brothers around to save the day.

And about the whole storylines concentrating on Raph's temper, thats the writers faults because they can't seem to get past that point. That was just a small part of his image in the beginning. His other traits are his strength, his blunt personality (he don't sugar coat things, he tells you like it is) and that he also has a prankster streak. And oh, what about the protective side? Why not have an episode where he does save a kid from an abusive parent, or where he saves some rare animals being sold to a poacher?

So most featured episodes means most focus?

Raphael has more featured story episodes in this show than anyone so far.

Well, that means Raph is the most focused on character of this show by that logic. But you obviously don't think that.

So now your reasoning confuses me because your explanations of Raph not being focused in this show debunks your opposite theory that more featured episodes = more focus.

I couldn't have said it better myself. You hit the nail on the head.

YES. MOST FEATURED EPISODES MEANS THE MOST FOCUS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT FOCUS IS.

Raph has NOT had more episodes than Leo or Donnie. In fact, Raph hasn't had a focus episode AT ALL THIS SEASON.

Oh please, explain this in detail to me, and make sure you give me links. I'm all ears!

I doesn't really matter, people want to see what they want to see. Heck, here's another storyline they could use for Raph that is cannon in the old comics, he actually knew stuff about cars, and had mechanical knowledge. Why not let Donnie share some of the mechanical workload with Raph? That way we get some much needed bonding between the polar opposites, and it shows Raphael that he's not some dummy.

[GoldMutant]

Enough with the arguing about character focus. If you are going to argue about it, do it on another thread. Guys, it's getting really annoying for people who want actual information about season 3. It's like the fighting that took place with CyberCubed's opinion on Hun. Just take it somewhere else.
