Do yu guys like him better than other incarnations of Mikey?

I am warming up to this Mikey. He is very vibrant and all but I just cannot get over how genuinely "stupid" they make him to be in this series. I hope he will outgrow this act by the end of this season. So far, I prefer 2k3 Mikey (my favourite version of Mikey in the franchise).

How did you guys like the soundtrack that played when Leo, Raph and Don were on the roof top on their way to save Mikey? Excellent stuff. Probably the most memorable OST so far. Wish it would play longer.

I also love the way the turtles got al stealth and had the advantage in their home turf, Just like real freaking ninjas not like in the 80s series.

The battle mode no eyes in themask thingy is also very awesome.

I loved the little hand thing Raph and Leo did on the rooftop.

I still chalk that up to naivete.

*So Shredder and Splinter were old war buddies. Is that where the Splinter nickname, that Bradford seems to know, came from.
*Ninja Tag goodness...
*Seen it...I mean, look the Mittens scene.

ROUND 2... FIGHT!
*Dark Underbelly, eh? Does this mean Purple Dragons?
*Diggin' Bradford's "elite" ninja get up. Almost better than Shredder's actual threads.
*Raph's "No Flip" roof jumping trick seems simple, but effective.
*I'll admit. The "Are you an idiot?" bit makes me chuckle every time.
*Where did Mittens owner go when the cat attacked Mikey?
*Love the "Fling the cat into trashcans" folly effects.
*Chuck Bradford...no....Chris Norris...no...
*I now want a Patty Man Hamburger.
*New favorite Donnie line:
"And maybe I'll show him my secret kata, 'The Secret Kata!'"
"Catchy!"
*Noisy ninjas are easy to ambush.
*Wow...CG can have animation glitches too? Check Leo's katanas in both his hands and his scabbards at around 6:50.
*Love Leo's explanation about why he's happy to be fighting the Foot and not "robots, or aliens, or weed monsters."

*Love the "Seek victory, not fairness." moral...though I'm sure in the "Everyone Gets a Trophy" generation that might be a lost moral.
*Anyone catch the Karate Kid reference on the cover of Mikey's magazine?

SWEET!
*Is the Turn-style a harken back to the movie/Next Mutation lair?
*New favorite Raph line:
"That guy can rock a ha-kama." (is that spelled right?)
"Maybe he'll wear it again when he takes you to the prom..."
*New favorite Leo line:
"Actually I'd rather talk about anything else..."
*New...uh...new fave Don line:
"Like the concept of the silent W, perhaps."
*Takes a bit to discover the secrets of Yoshi's new clan, eh Chrisy-B?
*Hey...look a Purple Dragon tag.

*Clancy's delivery of "Oh, I can't imagine why [the Turtles don't respect Mikey]." was classic.
*"He wants to get together for a little b-ball. Can't wait to find out what the "b" stands for."
*Love the look on Splinter's face as he sees the boys practicing Bradford's (and Saki's) secret kata.
*"No...it can't be...you're...the guy with the cat!?"
*Lovin' Donnie's makeshift glass cutter.
*Do the Foot's eye pieces have infra-red?
*Also lovin' Donnie's ober-geekyness. "That's not what that [sporadic] means!"
*The old "take the bad guys out from behind while they advance through the sewers bit." I remember that FW episode! (Which episode was that again?)
*Gotta admit, this fight scene is much more "ninja-y" than the previous alley fight.
*"I'm curious, any of you ever heard the expression 'Fair Fight'?"
*They are getting a lot of use out of that one CG pizza model.
*Why does Bradford's MyFace page have a picture of Snake Weed?
*OH NO! Mikey unfriended Bradford. The inhumanity!

That's so cool.

The delivery was top notch. I'm loving Jason Biggs' voice acting in this series. My favourite thus far (Hoon Lee and Sean Astin being my 2 other favourites).

[/QUOTE]

I'm actually really really impressed with his voice acting. It's spot-on. He really captures Leo. I keep forgetting it's really Jason doing it!

I think he's just....the younger, goofy brother with too much energy and low attention span.

Turns · 10-14-2012, 02:11 PM

This was the best episode yet! I hope future episodes are this good.

Yeah that's how I view him. He makes me laugh. I'm really liking him. Glad he got to whip Norris.. I mean Bradford at the end.

Is this a coincidence or did that take the name of this British martial artist for the Dogpound character?

LOL oh wow!

MST3KFan · 10-14-2012, 02:26 PM

This episode STILL isn't on Nick's webpage? Tch. Figures. Here I thought they were going to be awesome and show every episode on their site as they came out. Figured that would be too good to be true.

Guess I'll be waiting for the DVD now.

*CyberCubed* · 10-14-2012, 02:57 PM

One small gripe I had was we didn't see enough of the Foot fighting. Most of the action was against Chris and Xever.

Hopefully we get more Foot fights soon.

Anyway, I agree. Xever really impressed me in the episode, and I was even more suprised by how he was actually able to go toe-to-toe with the turtles.

Agreed he surprised me as well. I like the banter between him and Bradford. Should be interesting when they get mutated.

Hate to disappoint but the Dogpound toy confirms him as Chris Bradford.
