Do those titles make sense in the context of the episodes? Isn't Owari a region in Japan?

Owari also means something like "The end" or "It is over" in Japanese. Not 100% sure though.

Yeah, Gwendoline Yeo confirmed them months ago.

Owari also means The End.

Looking back, I really liked the moment where it was Mikey who demutated Baxter. The retro-mutagen Donatello carried was meant for Shredder (unless they had planned to demutate Baxter along the way, which I doubt)

I like how it showed Mikey being the most compassionate by suddenly throwing that retro-mutagen at him and ending his misery.

Baxter is happy to be human again yes, but he also has a "I'm still going to get you guys" speech.

And yes Donnie does chide Mike about using the retromutagen right then since both bulbs were ment for the Shredder

Why is it that every time that Donnie makes Retromutagen he doesn't bother to cure Timothy? So much for his promise..

Thanks a lot for the info, that's interesting to know. Hopefully Mikey punched some sense into him.

I'm impressed how well prepared the turtles were for this fight.

At this point, I just pretend Timothy already has been cured, but that it happened off-screen.

Because Timothy is frozen and has to wait till he thaws out completely before he gives him the retro mutagen.

I don't really buy that. I know we saw him the same way in "Tale of Tiger Claw" but he should've thawed long ago.

Well Donnie did say in The Invasion it will take 70 years or so. Also don't forget it's not normal ice, Donnie accidentally made it, when he was trying to make a retro mutagen.

My point is that it's basically a really convenient way of keeping his character on the shelf for as long as they want, that's all.

Yeah I know, I have always accepted that he won't be used again. I didn't think he was a great character anyway.

Why doesn't donnie have a tens of retromutagen with him and cure Shredder's enforcers, I think the turtles prefer Ivan over Rocksteady

Because Playmates didn't make an Ivan Steranko action figure, or Anton Zeck, or, Xever, or human Baxter Stockman or even Chris Bradford. They wanna sell toys of these characters in their mutant forms.

You know, I actually never realized that about the ice not being "normal." So besides the mutagen he also needs a way to thaw the ice? I guess that does make sense, but I still wish they had resolved it earlier.

They may show a shot or a short scene at the end of the series to wrap up any remaining threads, but I'm not expecting much. It's not that I liked Timothy as a character that much, but I did like how it affected Donatello and his character, and how he felt responsible and cared for him.

I watched the episodes muted. It seems that everyone's forgotten that there was ever such a thing called the silent film era (I have "Nosferatu" in my video library for crying out loud!). Although, yeah, I would've definitely liked subtitles too no doubt.

Spoiler:
Having seen the two episodes now I have to ask, what was the point to Darkest Plight building up Splinter to destroy Shredder?
Shredder does not seem interested in conquering the underworld,NYC,the world,etc. He only wants to kill Splinter and it doesn't matter if he dies five seconds later if he gets to do it. This time he kills him a second time and it won't depend on the Earth ending. Why kill him a second time unless Kavaxas is supposed to revive Shredder for Tiger Claw and Splinter is brought back to end him again.


On another note, Baxter gets demutated? I didn't see that one coming either. I wonder if Nick saw how well Baxter was being done in IDW as himself for the first time ever and wanted to copy that. What about Karai and Timothy? Those two would have been #1 and #2 on the demutate list.

Earl-20th century silent films actually had some text between telling the storyline progressing.
