Sounds like a pretty counterproductive argument about a show premise that makes no sense in the first place.

This is Viacom's horrible mentality when it comes to TMNT and it's everything wrong with the franchise as of now.

Toy Story 2 has probably the least believable setup of all time (Woody happened to be in the yard sale at the exact time a collector looking for him is there and the only reason said collector even knows he's there is because his pull string happened to activate), but that doesn't stop it from being an incredibly good movie.

Just because the premise is stupid doesn't mean the material has to be.

If this episode happened in the season final then I would of been ok with the Turtles and April getting Donnie back not when we got 4 episodes to go and still had to deal with Super Shredder. It just be really confusing.

The whole subplot doesn't need to get resolved before the season ends. They can carry it over into the next season easily. If it were me, I'd have the Super Shredder plot happen (whatever happens in the finale/following episodes), and then have them focus on getting Donnie back when they go to Japan. They can learn some kind of sacred mantra or something.

But yes I do agree whatever they did, they do need to focus on Super Shredder from here on out.

On another note all of Shredder's henchmen have literally decayed in power. Casey being able to knock Rahzar out of the truck, and able to take on Tiger Claw for a bit until the end...and all we see of Hun is to see him get knocked around.

Remember how tough it was for all 4 Turtles to face Shredder's mutants just 1 on 1? Now they're basically fodder.

This 100%. I remember when Tiger Claw coming into the scene meant sh*t was about to go down. He's better in this episode than he has been, but he still gets the short end of the stick.

Leo being able to take them all on in a few seconds was a defining moment of The Invasion because they all used to be built up as worthy adversaries. Now they're just... not.

I thought the 2 Elite Foot Bots were tougher than Shredder's mutants because they were running while on fire.

*CyberCubed* · 11-20-2016, 02:14 PM

I guess its kind of inevitable. Kind of like how people complained in the Fred Wolf cartoon that Bebop/Rocksteady were incompetent henchmen just to get knocked around....but the same thing essentially happens here.

It even happened in 4kids to an extent with Hun being easier and easier to take out when the Turtles all struggled against him for a while.

Like I said before: plot convenience. "Who's better than who?" and "Who can win in a fight between..." doesn't matter to this series.

*shredder orokusaki* · 11-20-2016, 02:51 PM

My henchmen are a lot more powerful than the turtles. If it wasnt for April attacking them with her supoer powers now casey would had been dead!

*lonewarrior20* · 11-20-2016, 03:05 PM

i enjoyed it. i almost felt like shouting "kaneda!" and "tetsuio!" a few times.

*Autbot_Benz* · 11-20-2016, 03:29 PM

I FINALLY got to watch this episode thanks to a fellow turtle fan who uploaded it online. No thanks to the Cartoon sites for still not having it . Decent episode kinda wish the 100th had been a bit better Man enough of the Death Cop outs. if your gonna kill someone just kill them.

Yup. Back in season 2, Splinter could barely take him. Now CJ spanks him, Bradford, Xever and 2 Elite bots on his own lol.

Mostly the Foot stayed lethal threats to the Turtles, I can count on my hand the number of times the Turtles breezed through them. Most of the time they struggled and sooner retreated instead of fighting them, or won through dumb luck.

*THGhost* · 11-20-2016, 06:06 PM

Holy crap was this emotional...

Man, I didn't realise just how big of a hold April's crystal had on her.
Casey being a badass for a change, feels like he hasn't done a lot lately. The way he took out Tiger Claw was awesome.
Oh snap, April broke Splinter's fingers!?
Well, I've wanted Dark April for the longest time and she's finally here. Awesome stuff, she's everything I wanted her to be.
Channel 6 News building. Tee hee.
"Spider-Don, Spider-Don, climbs up walls with climbing gloves on..."
Dayum, what did she do Donnie? Can't have killed him, this is Nickelodeon. Transported him somewhere, perhaps? Tumble girls aren't gonna be happy either way.
Bye bye crystal and bye bye Na-Zaron. Would have liked a longer fight tbh.
Donnie I was expecting a few episodes where they look for him but this works too I guess.
How'd Donnie get his bandanna back? He lost it when he got disintegrated. Whoops...

Great stuff, Nick! Brilliant 100th episode.

Btw, I knew that Super Shredder's exposed heart in the last episode wasn't purely decorative. I just knew it.

Least you took notice of the plot armor that would've probably ensued.

*THGhost* · 11-20-2016, 06:39 PM

Oh, shredder orokusaki is still here is he?

*Ninjinister* · 11-20-2016, 07:32 PM

Ep's not up on Xbox yet. Bah.

*CyberCubed* · 11-20-2016, 07:39 PM

Its kinda ironic that the 100th episode of both the 4kids and Nick cartoon both have something happen to Donatello, and April also plays a role.

Kind of funny.

Um...The 100th 4Kids episode was "Tale of Master Yoshi"....

*oldmanwinters* · 11-20-2016, 07:58 PM

Judging by the poll questions, I'm glad I wasn't the only one have flashbacks to "Back the Sewer" when April mentioned Donny's particles had been scattered. I was like... ah, here we go again with the cyber-space search for Splinter!

Haha, I remember how 4Kids heavily promoted that one too. Ah, I liked it, even if I did consider it "filler" for the time.
