Certainly not forgettable to our resident TigerClaw though.

Granted, as interesting an enigma as his character is, he's also frustrating at times. He'll do or say something reasonable such as in episodes like those already mentioned, but before you know it he'll do or say something as stupid as the other villains. He still has the most potential of the secondary villains, it just needs to come to fruition.

^ This.

It was the best part of the episode.

So did anyone else, when it first rained, thought that was Donnie's liquidly innards at first?

...what? lol

Also it's quite silly that Dark Phoenix had no qualms about killing Donnie, but spared the Purple Dragons and Shredder's Henchmen for some reason. You know.... guys responsible for sadness in the city

Za-Noran killed Donnie off quickly because she knew if given the chance he could break the hold that she had on April. Because she understood he was someone who really mattered to April, and because of that he was seen as a threat. By killing him off, that also broke April's moral.

Everyone else April takes sadistic pleasure in harming, even when she is murdering Raph she does make quite a show of dislocating his limbs so he suffers before she kills him.

NoName still makes a point. If the elimination of these people was what Za-Naron wanted, she still should've done it just like she did Donnie. The fact that they didn't get the same treatment first seems pretty jarring if you think about it, plus it almost makes Don's death and resurrection seem like shock value and of the cheap kind.

*JTH* · 11-21-2016, 03:11 PM

Still wondering if this was originally supposed to be the finale.

The season was supposed to be 20 episodes, and the Super Shredder arc looks like it's going to be about 6 episodes total.

Yes o.O

Also... Donnie seems to be made of glitter.

Yeah, why no killing actual bad guys, but yet Donnie?

Then again, "she" came out of April and into that creepy alien bat-looking 'form,' so maybe her ideas about good and bad are distorted.

Glad this is set to tone down April's "powers" a little. Maybe.

And hey, Rahzar is still kicking after all.

About that human "nasal aperture" (nose hole) on a character without a human nose, or any obvious nose at all. *curious face*

Although now I feel like this is an evolutionary link for PD and some more recent game designs that kind of have noses now. lol

I thought the same thing, actually, but was relieved that it started raining.

I figured the Aeon-Zuul killed Donnie because he was starting to get through to her more compared to anyone else who tried at the time. To me, Aeon-Zuul wanted full control over April.

They'll probably go back to being more normal, but slightly enhanced thanks to the Fugitoid and Splinter's training.

Yeah, being crunched by a train, no problem.

Become a news reporter?

Get ~~Bishop or Rook~~ a proper mentor to help her hone her own abilities?

But the flying April thing was Aeon-Zuul. Got me on the latter.

That aside I doubt either will be featured again.

*IndigoErth* · 11-22-2016, 03:02 PM

Why in the first place did the Aeons reward April with a piece of the crystal they should have known contained the spirits of their ancestors...

Oh hey, here's a fragment of it, I think this crystal point contains grandma Za-naron. Just so you know, she'll probably try to possess you eventually and turn you evil while claiming to want to rid your world of evil, should you make it back home. That's okay, right?

Because they didn't know that earth was corrupted, they thought the crystal would be safe. It was mentioned in the backstory.

Simple. They knew how addictive crack was and didn't want that stuff on their planet. They also didn't want to get busted.

But in all seriousness, what Vicky said.

*lonewarrior20* · 11-22-2016, 03:33 PM

i can see her at an addiction meeting.
"hi, my names april and i was addicted to a crystal that increased my psychic powers."
"hi april."
"i only chose to destroy it after an alien entity took me over and caused me to discombobulate my friend which is a giant mutant ninja turtle into the city's atmosphere."
"young lady this meeting is for those that are trying to deal with their addictions and we all don't appreciate being made fun of. now please leave."

*IndigoErth* · 11-22-2016, 03:39 PM

"No! No, it's true! I need help!"
"Yes. Yes you do."

Klunk1234 · 11-22-2016, 04:56 PM

It was absolutely shocking

watching Donnie being desintegrated by "Zanaron" who was in total control of April. Then the boys remind their friend all the things they have been doing during their patrol together, and to remember Donnie. Only then, April was able to destroy that crystal and be free from that monster control. Then integrated Donnie his normal form, he was in particles, but not dead, like I though.

It was enough what they did to my Donnie on issue #44 from the IDW comics.

*ranger_scout* · 11-22-2016, 05:35 PM

This episode really did have a "Dark Phoenix X-Men" vibe to it. Plus, what happened to Donnie was similar to what the Phoenix did to Professor X. Fortunately, neither Donnie or Professor were killed. I like the reference to Ghostbusters.
