Official Ep Discussion #16 "The Pulverizer" - Page 10

*zkarlette* · 02-17-2013, 12:58 PM

I liked this episode " the pulverizer" did remind me of Zack and was a bit cringe worthy but even then The guys did seem a little bit more snobbish with him that it probably needed to be. The shell raiser turned out to be pretty cool.
I'm glad Xever is back in action, My favorite part was probably when Raph got bitten and all the aftermath of that.

Zach from TMNT and then teams like Justice league, Biker mice from mars, Power rangers, the whole bundle. There would ALWAYS be some kind of a kid, whom is a big fan of the team, and gets to hang out with the team, and the team always adores him by default, and the kid is always oh so special for.. some reason.
Oh yeah, Wesley Crusher from Star Trek easily falls into this category as well.

Now the idea behind that kid on all those shows is rather simple. The kid audience can channel through that kid, and wish that they were the kid.. which is quite frankly the recipe for Mary sue.. or gary sue or what-ever.

So this show decided to make fun of that! saying. "Well, if there were a nut-job fan like that... this is how it would go down!"
So they make him a fat, geeky, doofus, young adult, whom is really embarrising himself and annoys our heroes.. hehe, welcome to reality I guess. I thought it was funny.

...another show that took a way more serious twist of this same kid character were "justice league tas." where the justice league ended up in another dimension, meeting another super-hero team, where a kid constantly hung around them and got to go on adventures with them. By the end of the episode they found out the kid was the actual bad guy, a horrible mutant whom used mind powers to trap every-one inside of his ideal fantasi world..

That's.. two very different twists on the same character. One like this TMNT one is humourus the other.. was quite disturbing. But a really good episode, I recommend checking it out.

Also as a con goer and cosplayer myself I can appreciate the humour, I swear the last big con I was to last May, was filled with what I call. "Hulk-sillas."
Big fat men whom had body painted themselves green, wore purple shorts and called that a cosplay.. and no I did not ask to see that up close. But it just proofs it. These people exists.. and they are nuts!

yes that sounds reasonable and sure enough I know these characters from back in the day

thanks for the example, I may check out that episode one day....

Meh...I didn't love this episode too much. Not too crazy about the Pulversizer character. I did enjoy the funny moments and jokes and delusional Raph. But that's about it.

I'm just gonna assume this is an unreliable flashback of a doofus. He remembers seeing the turtles with his costume already done, eventhough it actually didn't happen like that.

Also good to know anyone can mix up an antidote for a venomous bite just using random chemicals, whose precise mixure is based soley on the victim's symptoms and not on the species that inflicted the bite. I'm pretty sure that's not how anti-venom works, but whatever.

zodiac brave · 02-17-2013, 08:48 PM

i thought it was great! there were a lot of moments with small details that really played on the personalities of the characters as they've evolved in this show so far. speaks to the great characterization going on.

i didnt mind the pulverizer at all. he was funny and if he DOES become newtralizer...or (in an even more interesting twist) casey, then i can only imagine the storyline where this happens will be some good tv.

also loved the shellraiser and fishface, of course.

another good one.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-17-2013, 09:03 PM

A thought has occured to me. Is Raphael a Brony?? I know some Brony's are tough guys...but think about it.

When Don injected him with the anti-venom Raph goes "Thanks Magical unicorn..." Well... Don wears purple and in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic the main character, Twilight Sparkle, is purple.

Raphael, a brony?

that would be hilarious to see hinted at more in the show.

Leo: And you made fun of me for Space Heroes! *table flip*

Then again, Raph was delusional, so he probably didn't mean it.

I like this version of Baxter. He's kind of funny in a helpless kind of way.
