Classic Episode Discussion: Revenge of The Fly

[pferreira]

I felt the TMNT destroying the gun when Baxter was going to use it on himself was out of character. I mean hasn't Baxter suffered enough? Surely as a human he's less of a threat?

Because after using it on himself, he would've used it on the Turtles right away. That why he remained in limbo instead of going all the way to wherever he was trapped last time.

Never thought of that but then I don't remember any dialogue indicating he would of done that.

Oh, it wouldn't have been because of the dialogue. Just that as a human, Baxter, wouldn't stand a chance against the Turtles but he would have the brains again to do what Shredder could not.

I could see the gun being dropped as he changed form and one of the Turtles could have grabbed it then.

Looking back at Baxter's final moments this episode in hindsight, I'm thinking that the turtles quickly acted on impulse and kicked Baxter into limbo because he couldn't be trusted with the gun in his hands after all of his past villainy at that critical moment in time when the fates of many innocent mutated people lay in the hands of the turtles.

Human Baxter Stockman could have been a much cooler threat (with some cool deadly inventions, rather than the mad scientist of the week we had to stick with following the events of Enter the Fly)

Especially since Baxter the fly had four hands. Good point!!

If Baxter left with the gun, the Turtles would never get it back and of course the risk of being demutated themselves. Knocking Baxter away was definitely on impulse since all three sides were at war with each other each time.
