Episode Opinion: Follow the Leader - Page 2

"Go, ninja, go!"

saber16 · 11-02-2013, 05:20 AM

... I could see Karai getting personal with Leo in a one on one fight and insult Splinter to get to Leo,

"Drop that noble act, Leo. You say you're all about what's right, fighting with honer and whatever nonsense your freak dad feeds you. "Master Splinter thinks this," "Master Splinter said that," "Master Splinter can do no wrong..." If he's so perfect, why's my mother dead?"

I could see Leo dropping his guard completely

*Sarcasm,*
"O----h? He NEVER told you what he did to her?"

*Her eyes narrow into a piercing glare, her jaw locks her teeth into a clench, and her playful voice turns into a harsh whisper*

"Why doesn't that surprise me...?"

The battle heats up, Leo is keeping up with an enraged Karai, while trying to defend himself and defend his father.

"You freaks are all the same. You preach about making peace, fighting with honor... and the moment someone eats it up, you stab them in the back and spew out more lies to hide just how sickening you all are! He took my mother from me... YOU tried to take my father from me... So, has he included you four inside his warped little fantasy that he'll make me a part of your little family yet?"

I'd have it so Leo doesn't know exactly what she meant, but get him in the loop. Maybe have him keep it to himself for a little bit before confronting Splinter.

I don't know if this would be considered the official episode thread but is anybody else disappointed in the fact that the robot foot soldiers appearance was virtually the same as a regular foot? I was hoping for a new image, mainly so we could get a figure, perhaps something resembling the foot tech ninjas would have been cooler. Good episode aside from that. The ending was great! I am curious as to how Leo will react knowing that Karai is Splinter's daughter.

Mikey forgot again to say "See ya next fall!" during an elevator shaft fight.

*pannoni1* · 11-02-2013, 09:40 AM

While some may not like the identical design of the robotic foot, it does provide some confusion against the Turtles. However, the Movie I/Mirage Foot design seems to be more iconic than the OT's, despite being used in more video games.

That said, it does have similarities to the OT's "Take Me To Your Leader", but with the classic Leo vs. Karai action. Sure there was the cliche "use the heroes as bait" device, but the Foot battle was pretty good, especially the elevator shaft and escape across the clothesline banners. The Vanilla Ice shout-out was also clever. One thing is how did the Turtles disappear at the end with the purple cloud, and weren't you going to think that they were going to show the Kraang as the camera panned toward the moon only to see the "4UP" from the pinball machine? Its also nice to see Splinter reveal Karai's pedigree.

Overall: 8/10

Awesome reference to the iffy trench coat disguise

*ObiWanFan4life* · 11-02-2013, 09:56 AM

Another solid episode as to be expected. Loved the refrences to the movies. 8.5/10. I do however, have three nitpicks about it.

1.) Why did the turtles carve "Lam-e-ardo" on Leo's sword? That seemed a bit mean-spirited.

2.) How did Leo's sword magically repair itself after it had been shattered by the foot robots?

3.) Why did it never occur to any of the turtles to use water on the robots?

*NinjaPug* · 11-02-2013, 10:15 AM

I guess Baxter Stockman became somewhat successful and started his own business based on the Stockman Industries billboard with the mouser on it.

*snake* · 11-02-2013, 10:22 AM

Pretty good episode. I wonder when the official discussion is up?

*JTH* · 11-02-2013, 10:28 AM

Something got to me though:

This is "Supposed" to be Episode 2, the events triggered made it out like it was episode 2, but Donnie said they had recovered 1 mutagen canister...and a half. Wouldn't that have been the half a canister of mutagen in the Squirrelanoid episode?

Or and I missing a half a canister of mutagen recovered else where.

:So "Follow The Leader" mentions the half a canister in Squirrelanoids
:And "Squirrelanoids" mentions "another" trap in Follow the Leader

So which episode really does come first???

I'm not really complaining, hell it actually gives people actual options of which episode they want to see first.

I think they recovered half a canister in Mutation Situation. Don retrieves it after their first skirmish with Kirby. I've only seen it twice so I'm not too sure but I think Don nabs it.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-02-2013, 10:44 AM

Quite a bit went down just to move the story along and get to the Leo & Splinter talk about Karai (which most if not all of us already knew).
But still this song went down in my head after.

kelligrafie · 11-02-2013, 10:46 AM

There's also the fact that Raph tells Donnie not to be too upset about April in Follow The Leader. If the Squirrelanoids came first, why did he not say it then, why has he waited?

I think they merely switched episodes for the sake of Halloween.

Perhaps, but that canister was empty. Does it really count if they're trying to get rid of the actual mutagen?

*snake* · 11-02-2013, 10:50 AM

I'm honestly wondering if this was ep 2, because Leo doesn't mention anything about Karai in Squirrielnoids.

Yes, because empty or not it's still a canister that's been accounted for.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-02-2013, 04:00 PM

Well, I was wrong. Leo did find out about Karai in this episode, and I loved how Splinter was trusting enough to tell him about it.

As for which episode this is, I'm guessing it's episode two because they mention the part about another trap, and they were trapped when they got one of the mutagen canisters. But it's an awesome ep and one of my favorites.
