New Ep Discussion: "The Big Brawl"

[Mecha Cow]

Wow, this episode rocked.

The animation in the fight with the stick guys was excellent. I liked how Leonardo got his swords broken, hehe.

It was great seeing the characters from 'The Ultimate Ninja' again. There are more than enough characters that get pushed aside. I also like how Splinter was registered as 'Hamato Splinter'. And yay, the Triceraton dude was also back.

Am I the only one that doesn't like Draco? His design is really boring IMO and his name is lame and unoriginal. But meh, he's not the worst character around. We haven't seen that much of him yet anyway.

Usagi was definately still a kid in that flashback. He sure looked and sounded like it, anyway. Plus, this design we've seen doesn't match that of his action figure I think.

Seeing Yoshi again rocked. Nice to see they're actually involving him in this series a bit. Now give him an action figure. There should definately be a TMNT statue in the Hall of Fame. Certainly not Leonardo though. He always gets all the glory, bah. Raphael is too much is the spotlight as well, so I say it should be Mike or Don. The synopsis' at the official site hints that Mikey's gonna win, so it's all good.

Okay, that Samurai statue was definately Shredder if you ask me. The helmet is exactly the same. It would certainly fit in the story if Shredder won the Tournament once, plus, it'd be really cool. I don't want them to focus on Shredder again, though. Leave the guy alone. Just a simple mention of him winning the tournament and maybe a short flashback, and I'll be happy.

Anyway, awesome episode, can't wait for the other three parts. Too bad we have to wait a while to see them.

Excellent episode, I liked how proud the Turtles were when they found out about "Hamato Splinter" (nice touch). I also like the whole space tournament idea.

The Ultimate ninja wants to beat the best of the best so when Shredder killed Yoshi the champion at that time the Ninja turned his attention to him he probably spent most of his life training to face shredder, but when Leo beat the shredder the Ninja made him his target. He definitely wants to beat the best he can find in order to satisfy his pride.

If Shredder had fought in the tournament it would throw off a lot of Season 1's storyline.

My point exactly...not only that but as I said... The Shredder, with his personality, can you people REALLY see him entering a tournament where he had to submit to other people? Not only THAT but I'm sure with his attitude he wouldn't have made it far enough to have a winner's statue...it just doesn't make sence.

The site is only as accurate as the person that inputs the info. Three different TV schedules say that 'Tales of Leo' is on Saturday. TVTome was just using the info that they thought was fact, and will likely update soon.

what does Hamato mean in Japanese. Why would splinter talk about Japan in the opening if he was in another dimension? True story, last night I went into my room and it was dark and I tried to turn on the tv in the dark, turns out there is a record button on the, so right after commercial one, when the stick people are there you can see a tube of neosproin! I can wait for the next episdoes seeing how, ozzie and drix, jusitce leauge unlimited, and teen titans will be back this summer. Is those constant build a bear commercials bugging anyone else? That girl is almost as bad of a singer as britney spears!

Nono, I seriously think it's over for the summer. Parts 2, 3 and 4 of "The Big Brawl" won't air until September. *looks around* Riiiight?

I didn't say "I can't wait for Part for next week!"

I just said that there's only 3 more episodes left for Season 2.

But I didn't say anything about seeing part 2, I know we might have to wait awhile to see the remaining episodes.

that gives me time to get the remianing DVDs and try to see TMNT in Space part 5 on CN.

[Serp]

Great Episode. I wish we could have seen more of Usagi but oh well. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

> Raphael is too much is the spotlight as well<


Yeah right. Leo's always in the spotlight, Raph need to get his turn of the glory.

[Barkworm]

BIG SPOILER


I read the episode guide and I think Mikey is going to win the finals against Raphael. That will be fun.

[Gokhan]

it didnt say he was going to win the brawl against rapheal. it said that the worst think from raphs prespective was that mikey stood poised to win the tournament

Much as I love Leo... yeah...

I'd love for Donnie to get the spotlight more... But to honest, I do realize that it's not in his character to do so.

Another way I'm like him...

[Stefano]

did anyone realize that the flashback showed the kirbys creatures. But that was at least three years ago. Why would kirbys creatures be there if they havnt been in exsitance that long. Mabye time messes with dementions and some other shizzle

[J Legault]

Perhapps Jack Kirby's Warriors & Monsters found some way into the Nexus World. but we know how the writters are on showing secret camoes.

If the Nexus World is able to connect to thousands of Dimensions, worlds, & planets. I wounder if the utroms are able to visit the world.

Cause it be neat to see the Guardians compete in the tourment.
Just a thought.

And that gets me a little confused. Why would they say it's the season finale when it isn't the season finale? If it were the season finale, the remaining three episodes would air, then the repeats would run in the summer, and THEN season 3 would start in September! It's like they're taking a break too soon, before the end of season 2. I dunno, if that's how they're going to do it, then we really have no say.

First time I caught turtles in 3 weeks. I loved this ep. Splinter is just so bad ass. Turtles fighting in a team tournament thing seems kinda cool also.

[Demented Utrom]

If the Red Utrom entered no body could beat him because the android body gives tons of power and quick reflexes.The only one he would lose if he was DQed.I think the Big Brawl looks to much like wrestling with Mortal Kombat thrown in.

[Anarchistguy]

I wrote to Dan Berger about next week's episode and unfortunately, we'll have to wait until Sepetmber 11 to see parts 2, 3 and 4 of The Big Brawl.

[rayfillet101]

it gets worse, we have to wait til september 11 to see pt 2 but we have to wait for sept 18 to see pt 3 and sept 25 for pt 4!

[Jephael]

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I think we really sound childish when we start whining about how long we have to wait for each new episode to air.
I'm glad we get a summer break from this stuff because it gives us a break from being couch potatoes.

I'd agree Jeph......except....how the hell does watching 30 mins of tv in an entire week constitute to being a couch potatoe?
