Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 7: Arena Of Carnage

[Powder]

Very solid.

[xenopokemon]

Spasmosaur.. even though I haven't seen the 2003 series, I can already tell that its design was way better and more terrifying than this one. It's like every time there needs to be a new monster or creature, they give it a multitude of eyes, arms and mouths.

I enjoyed the episode, hope we get to see Zeno more.

But I hope that we get to see Lord Dregg and Armaggon even more.

8/10.

I have to agree with most everyone here. It was a good episode. However, I would've liked to see this be a two parter like Goldmutant said so we could have the arena fights be a bit longer.

[OrangeNinja1987]

Great episode. Easily the best of season 4.
Suprisingly, both Mikey and Casey were done well.
Loved the action and the whole episode, but Fugitoid takes the cake.
"Booyakasha!"
8.5/10 for me.

Even if this isn't the most creative idea, it still had wonderful action, especially with Zeno's sudden hammer attacks. I was scared that Donnie might have gotten swallowed up and could have done a Shreddered and Splintered-style escape, but I'm glad he found another way to do it.

Show grade: 8/10

Battle Nexus? No, it was the Triceraton arena, the traditional intergalactic gladiatorial arena.



So is Zeno Traximus by another name?

1/24/16 TMNT episode:
I am unfamiliar with Zeno
But the character to me is the same as Traximus
If someone wants to educate me I am all ears
Good day

Someone on tumblr claiming that the series has gone downhill ever since Seth Green joined the cast. Because obviously the replacement of a voice actor with another has a massive impact on how the show is actually made.

Finally watched the episode, It was pretty good, loved the Mortal Kombat reference.

That was one of the most legit funny jokes this show has done in such a long time

Pretty good one. Everyone had some good moments and pretty much enjoyed the whole thing. Only minor complaint is Nick's preference for one episode per topic of choice (sans the underlying story), wouldn't have minded seeing the Arena thing lasting for two and feel a little less rushed to get them through it and on to the next thing.

[The Happy One]

Well, that was quite an enjoyable episode! Though, as I believe Goldmutant said, I wish it was a two-parter so that they could go a little more in depth with the arena and a little more time with Zeno (Traximus???)
Either way, it was by far, in my opinion, the best episode so far!

Peter, as usual, delivered in this episode and I think, besides the element of the arena, what I loved the best was the spot on characterization. To me, nothing felt forced and the dialogue exchange between the guys, April, Fugitiod and the Triceritons they encountered along the way seemed pretty good

What I'm really liking so far this season is the good use of April and her powers. It seems every episode her abilities are progressing and while they're not the focal point of the eps, they sure remind us here and there that 'yes, she has powers and, yes, we plan on using them'. Also in this episode I noticed they toned Casey down a bit- he was still...Casey but he did seem generally better than these past few episodes so..y'know..that's a plus.
And of course I loved the simulation in the beginning and the Street Fighter references that came along with

Looking forward to seeing 'the new A-team' pair up with Don and Raph some time, too...that should be neat.

So, yeah, other than wishing this was a little longer...it sure did impress me, especially since they managed to get the next piece, finally.
8/10
Nice episode to watch after digging myself out of three feet of snow, I'll tell ya that

[Foombamaroom]

I'm with everyone else. This should've been a two-parter.

Just a little concerned why they needed to change Traximus' name to Zeno?

[oldmanwinters]

Glad to see they are already running with the April/Soulstar fragment storyline. She looked pretty cool when she was glowing blue in the vacuum of space.

Question #1
At what point did Donatello & Raphael decide to become "the new A team?"

Question #2
Does that mean Leonardo and Michelangelo are now most comfortable working together as well?

Question #3
Even for a Triceraton, Zemo was HUGE. How did their proud warrior civilization not make him leader by default?

Question #4
But what was that big old thing hanging off Zemo's right shoulder?

So Zeno has the same role as Traximus, same backstory as Traximus, same personality as Traximus and a similar design to Traximus... Why isn't he called Traximus?

I know Nick has characters they're legally not allowed to use, maybe Traximus is one of them.

[TLP]

When the Turtles are introduced to the arena and Zeno is about to squish the alien....I definitely think they edited out a sickening crunch sound. (Ya know...Nickelodeon.) Because it just cuts to the score monitor without much noise.

Probably keeping with the tradition of having all the other Triceratons' names in this continuity starting with the letter "Z".

Does anyone know who some of these characters are?

Well, Mozar has a "Z" in it but doesn't start with it. If they really just wanted a "Z" in there, how about "Traximuz"?

Flaming Carrot and Usagi Yojimbo, to name a few.

Ah, I forgot about Mozar.

Well duh, obviously crossover characters like those can't be used, nobody is expecting Batman or the Ghostbusters to be in an episode. I want to know which characters created for TMNT can't be used.
