"Ha, ha... Revenge!"

Tomoshibi Amatsu · 10-13-2012, 09:32 AM

I really liked this episode, and I'm starting to like Mikey a bit more in this series. I especially enjoyed that they let him be the one to beat Rad Brad.

I like the 'fall of the foot clan' pose before they fought the foot

Anybody else caught that?

ComicBookBoy · 10-13-2012, 09:37 AM

I didn't like last week's episode very much, but this episode was pretty, may I say, SWEET! I've been watching cartoons since 7:30 this morning leading up to the new Ninja Turtles;and it was the best show I've watched today. I really like the fight scenes, better than any other action cartoon on Nick(excluding DBZkai).

*NinjaMan* · 10-13-2012, 09:37 AM

Gosh I love this show. I'm a huge Transformers fan and I love this show more than the Prime show. The characters are so awesome. Loved the fight scenes. And Xever I believe is Fishface.

HerpDerp · 10-13-2012, 09:37 AM

Loved this episode, it was much better than Turtle Temper IMO. I like how Mikey actually got to have his revenge on Bradford/Chrissy B/Rad Brad and did so using the same move that Bradford taught him. Oh, and "UNFRIEND".
Great action scenes.
Love the relationship between the brothers and Raph's little pep talk at the end.
Splinter is awesome, but I was kind of surprised when he beat Leo with his staff. Harsh.

Laughed when Mikey thought the guy under the helmet was "that guy with the cat".

*pannoni1* · 10-13-2012, 09:38 AM

Great episode, I liked it more than last weeks, and is on par with the two-part premiere. my.face as a Facebook reference was cool, there were two pizza references (Mike to Chris, and at the end of the episode). I also noticed that April's laptop had an anachronistic '90s dial-up sound to it. We also know that it's currently in the middle of the summer based on the Chris Bradford billboard.
Knowing that Splinter/Leo saying that its just the beginning of Shredder's revenge provides a great cliffhanger to the next episode. I predict that Chris and his Xever are being swept back to the Kraang, though their mutation shouldn't take place until around the middle of the season since we still have Chris and Xever in a couple more episodes. It seemed like the voice actors are starting to get into the series a bit more confidently here even and the animation was good.

I've noticed that it helps to have lights off for watching this series as many of the indoor fight scenes have low lighting as if the lights are turned off. Still, it's cool seeing the first battle in the sewers along with the first fight with the Foot. I thought the way the Foot got defeated during the final battle was cool, since it didn't catch Chris and Xever's attention, which eventually led to a Turtles victory. We also got a first Turtlenapping of the series in the form of Michelangelo, who I predict will be kidnapped more than any other Turtle in this series, and possibly more so than April.

With next week, since in the OT Baxter drove the Turtlevan, I feel we may see the debut of the Shellraiser next week.

DarkLightDragon · 10-13-2012, 09:39 AM

Another well done episode.

Really did feel bad for Mikey in some parts and I especially liked how Raph was actually nice to Mikey near the end. Hopefully that will cast away the "Raph is a bully" bandwagon from the last episode.

*XERO* · 10-13-2012, 09:42 AM

So Donatello has a secret candid picture of April eating a pizza as his wallpaper...

Issuuuuuues.

zaktheneutrino · 10-13-2012, 09:43 AM

By far my favorite episode since the premiere. I loved the part where Brad, Xever and the foot followed the turtles into the sewer. The scene had an edgy/darker feel to it, especially when the turtles walked out of the water when Brad told them to show themselves. They looked awesome, mirage like! This show just keeps getting better. The mix of action and comedy is perfect. I'm guessing that Brad and Xever turn into Dogpound and Fishface now after being washed through the sewers. I liked how Chris looked though, almost like a foot elite. I would enjoy seeing his human form for at least a few more episodes, if not longer.

Was Yoshi called Splinter before he mutated? I was confused as to why Shredder said Yoshi is still alive and Brad responded with "We will find Splinter". How does he know that he's Splinter/mutated? If I'm correct, Shredder only has Yoshi's throwing star as evidence to his survival.

FoxZerro · 10-13-2012, 09:45 AM

This episode was crazy good and by that I mean good and a little bit crazy. I know its insane but each time I watch the show I have tears in my eyes they have nailed these characters so well in this incarnation and it makes my heart swell with pride and I can't help but shed tears of pure joy at how they are being represented. Mike in the show has already impressed me but you add in his curiousity and desire to connect with humans and he is quickly becoming the more dynamic character on the show.

The entire opening sequence was spot on TMNT and very exciting. I have to agree with Leo that it was nice to see them fighting actual humans instead of aliens. They showed a great dynamic in the fact that they could easily waste the meatbags that are the foot ninjas and then were totally overwhelmed by someone with a little more training. I especially enjoyed Splinter's lesson to Leonardo imparted in a way that is sure to cement those facts in Leo's mind.

The best part was this episode acheived exactly what I wanted it to. As soon as I read Dogpound's bio on the back of the toy, I wanted Chris and one of the Turtles to become friends and then for Rad Brad to ultimately betray them. The inclusion of Xever in this episode was a great touch and when these guys eventually do mutate, I already believe that they will be more of a threat than Bebop and Rocksteady ever were.

Hopefully this episode has ceased the fear of the show being mutant of the week or repetetive. If each episode could be this good then we have nothing to worry about.

*NinjaMan* · 10-13-2012, 09:51 AM

I liked Raph's little talk to Mikey. Felt like a real brotherly moment. And I can't stress enough how the brotherly dynamic between these 4 is being nailed each week.

Cryomancer · 10-13-2012, 09:51 AM

Did they screw with the timeslot? Switched over to catch it and it was already half over.

Anyway from what I did see, horray, we can punch people directly in the face in this show. So at least the violence isn't completely toned down.

*MrTMNT2012* · 10-13-2012, 09:51 AM

HOLY CRAP DID THIS EPISODE KICK @SS!!!! To all the people who thought there weren't enough Ninja moments in the new show, They MUST see this episode. Loved the character development for Michelangelo and the Humor was Spot on! The fight scenes were great like Don countering the Ninjas attacks was really awesome. Overall a much better episode than last weeks, 9/10

*chrisdude* · 10-13-2012, 10:01 AM

Awesome episode! Lots of laughs.

From the rescue, through the sewer fight, I was nothing but impressed. I love how they've put effort into the little bits where they could've gotten away without it. The flip competition, how the running on the rooftops, the teamwork attacks, the way they repelled in...
I'm having trouble expressing how happy I am with how cool everything looks

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-13-2012, 10:06 AM

This was a pretty great episode. I loved the fight in the sewers between the turtles and Bradford. Also liked the pep talk Raph gave to Mikey.

And Mikey was just awesome.

*Cure* · 10-13-2012, 10:17 AM

This episode was really sporadic.

Keno · 10-13-2012, 10:20 AM

Great episode. Great mix of humor and action.

marcelangelo · 10-13-2012, 10:21 AM

I am so thrilled for new episodes, makes my weekend really

I am very happy about some of you mentioning a fall of the foot clan pose somewhere in this episode as this game holds a pretty special place in my heart...
glad you all seemed to enjoy it!
