Opinions on 2012 Leo

He's great. A good mix of all incarnations to date I think. Just like the rest of them.

He didn't seem to care that April was being attacked by Karai even though it was his fault that she was the target and that Karai was angry at him. But otherwise he is the more interesting incarnation though unlike other versions he might not be my favorite.

I don't think he's being too cold. He just doesn't tolerate something going wrong, I guess. One thing that I probably think he's cold in is during Pulverizer Returns. But don't blame him. Blame the writers. Nobody, except Donnie, had any good development in that one. Besides, maybe it's just because he cares more for his brothers than anybody else. I think he also cared that April was being attacked, but again, had his brothers to think about.

I love that Leo is not always right. He has flaws, and is more relatable than ever.

That was one thing I enjoyed. But ally or not, I would have done the same. Shredder is a deranged psychopath. Eventually, he'd have to face the consequences. Plus, don't forget, both Raph and Don agreed to this plan. So much for the Genius being smart there, too. But, I wasn't angry that this happened. I was shocked. But here's the thing. They're all naïve, and none of them even knew Karai was Shredder's daughter. It's mostly Leo's fault for going with this plan, but it's all their fault for coming up with this.

Man. Everytime I hear something about this episode, you make me think it was a bad one. Are we suddenly getting negative here?

.. are we? I thought that episode was good.

The episode was good, and many loved it, as well. I'm just baffled that they liked it, but found that the turtles were stupid in their decision. I don't know. Is it wrong to say that the whole plan was entirely stupid? Because, I didn't think it was.

Other than that, when has Leo been cold? Seriously. It's a kids show. Besides that, maybe we should stop finding something wrong with a character and accept for who they are (unless they're evil).

He's not cold to me. He's hot! I mean..

About the Pulverizer episode, Leo said "he wanted to be a mutant, and he got his wish". I sense no 'coldness' in what he said. I might have said that as well; the Pulverizer wanted to be a mutant so much and he got it. Now he is.

Fans were a lot colder than Leo about the whole Pulverizer mutation, let's be honest.

Leo from the comics is my fav, but as far as the shows go, 2k3 would be next in line for the top spot. After re watching a few episodes, I was reminded how trusting that version was and how he'd make mistakes too.

However, that being said, what I really, really love about the 2k12 version is that you can just see this was Leo, just younger, before becoming jaded and hardened. He is really endearing and often makes mistakes and questions himself. He is just so ernest and determined to do what's honorable in the show.

What can I say? He's adorable.

I like how TMNT12 gave Leo a bit more sense of humor.. And the fact that now he has an idol who he tries to copy sometimes with some hero phrases..
On the other hand I loved Leo 2k3 TMNT obsession for ninjitsu and that is a flaw that I think this this Leo, 2012, should have too, because it´s like his brand image and it´s what connected him so much with splinter...
