What did you think of Leo/Radical and Casey/Karai being pushed? - Page 3

Me and Kevin are facebook friends, I'm sure he wouldn't mind me asking to measure his weiner lol

Karai certainly doesn't look like she's pushing 60 in vol. 4, unless the Foot have access to Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pit. Possessing more skill or ruthlessness then the other branch foot leaders is what probably got her the position of leader, Shredder himself was only eighteen when he took over the NY Branch.

Yeah, but all he took over was the NY branch. Not the entire clan.

Still at eighteen, taking over a major branch is still a big deal, taking over the entire Foot clan by the age of thirty isn't that unrealistic.

Also take into account the actual size and depth of the Foot clan was never something that was ever fully explored, taking over the "entire" clan may not be that monumental of a task.

Seems like the Foot had really branched out by the time Karai came along from what it was in Saki's time.

You also have to take into consideration that she is a woman. Seems to me that she would have had to doubly prove herself in order to be trusted with all that responsibility.

and karai are still alive in the future raph issue... maybe she have skinny dipped in the Lazarus pit

It's a comic book world. Sexy female leaders are the norm in comics.

Or she could be a worm clone of herself. Who knows, it's the Foot.

Damn... that's a story in itself... Karai's demise and some loyal followers wanting to worm clone her, but something went wrong and she became the bitter hateful hag from the Raph story.

Maybe I just read it differently, but I saw her more as lonely and washed up moreso than bitter and hateful. That's just me though.

*Coola Yagami* · 02-05-2010, 05:35 PM

Ah, I didn't actually read the issue, that's just the impression I got from the synopsis and what I heard Raph's reaction to all this was.

I got that impression as well

*DrSpengler* · 02-06-2010, 08:26 AM

Yeah, she even said that the reason she kidnapped the kid and put Raph through all that was because she missed the "old times".

Which was kind of odd, because in the "old times", Karai and the Turtles almost always got along or were indifferent about each other's behavior.

Maybe she was just senile.

*CyberCubed* · 02-06-2010, 01:16 PM

I feel like that whole issue was done just to toy with the fanbase on purpose.

It kinda proves though that the Foot Clan never gets wiped out, unlike what Volume 4 has us believe with the Foot being killed off and Karai telling Leo they have barely any Foot members left.

I thought that very same thing.

Something just hit me. Peter says volume 4 ignores the events of volume 3, but Karai's behavior in it (and Silent Night) practically makes Image canon all on its own!

While we don't know the identity of Lady Shredder, we can all assume (and will soon find out if) that's Karai. So all the times she calls the turtles former/old enemies in volume 4 pretty much has to point back the Image series, seeing as how they only had one quick fight in "City at War" before teaming up.

*discordiatookie* · 02-14-2010, 07:48 AM

Yeah, i'm reading through vol 4 myself at the moment, and when Karai is standing over the turtles and talking to Shadow (during April's operation) some of what she said kinda irked me.

Exactly, and you can't even blame it on Peter getting the comics confused with the cartoon... that issue was looong before Karai's first episode.

*CyberCubed* · 02-14-2010, 10:05 AM

Someone in the letters also made the connection of Michelangelo falling out of the helicopter in Vol. 4 #2, and Don falling out of the helicopter in Image #1.

Of course later on, Don practically becomes a cyborg in Vol. 4 as well and Raph transforms.
