Wrath of Tiger Claw all the way.

(Even though both episodes are fantastic.)

*Vicky82* · 12-10-2014, 12:44 AM

Love both episodes but has to be Wrath of Tiger Claw.

evan2000 · 12-10-2014, 02:46 AM

The Wrath of Tiger Claw for me. Tiger Claw's return was truly BADASS and definitely lived up to its name/episode title. It was also fun to see Casey Jones ironically sensing real danger this time round instead of scoffing at it all the other times, and moonwalking-Mikey being smart to track down the location of injured Casey. And of course, the leaked storyboard scene of Karai was nailed down in this episode.

Slash & Destroy was absolutely well done and entertaining as well, the fight scenes were brutal and we get to see Donnie and Mikey unmasked for the first time. Leo's solo adventure/tea time act was truly hilarious and well complimented by the serious battle scenes at the other side of the wall/roof, and the moment the two scenes converged was a rare magical moment (see the look on Raph's face)! Two nitpicks though: first, the ending was too easy and we get that totally expected "he's gone, but he's still out there" situation; second, Slash's badassery worn off rather quickly as he sort of became an ally to the turtles a little too soon...

I love the fight in the slaughterhouse, so dangerous and lethal.

But I also love Slash beating the brothers brutally (Mikey being punched savagely like a ragdoll was definitely a highlight, I love it). I just love violent fights, the more extreme the better.

I think I'll take WoTC because I'm more attached to Leo and Karai story pairing than I am with Raph and Slash.

Edit: Ooh, Slash and Destroy is leading, how nice! Love to see many feel strongly about that episode too!

*AT-Man* · 12-10-2014, 04:02 AM

Slash & Destroy might just be my favorite episode of the series, so it's gonna get my vote whenever possible.

kelligrafie · 12-10-2014, 01:03 PM

This is a tricky one BUT I do love Tiger Claw.

Zatoichi · 12-11-2014, 01:36 PM

Hands down, Wrath of Tiger Claw.

This episode has one of THE BEST fights in the entire series, Karai FINALLY believes Splinter is her father, it has Tiger Claw, and it's one of the few episodes where Mikey shines (His speech in Murakami's shop, his idea to find Casey, and his idea to fight Tiger Claw in a Meat house).

*snake* · 12-11-2014, 03:03 PM

Slash and Destroy. The best episode of season 2.

*JTH* · 12-14-2014, 08:42 AM

8 hours left in poll.

Could we see a big upset?

Aaronardo · 12-14-2014, 08:49 AM

Wow, I think this is one of the only close ones in the tournament so far. I voted Slash and Destroy, but I would love if either episode advanced. They're both just so good.

Shellacne and Newtralized were tied, but then JTH had some sort of bogus tie breaker in a descreet thread so Shellacne came on top.

Both were awesome but I would have voted WOTC. Oh well. I'm still a winner for having seen both of them.
