I love how the 2012 writers tried to push the Mikey x Shinigami ship onto us instantly during Shini's introduction, but it backfired, with almost the entire fandom going "Nah man, she is a lesbian and is dating Karai".
Random little detail I liked in TMNT 2012 is how anytime there was a flashback sequence it was in the style of like an illustrated comic book of some kind.
Saw you mention Casey’s family and it got me thinking: Could the little girl & her dad Leo met in “Slash & Destroy” be his family? I always found it a bit odd Casey mentioned having a dad and little sister and we never got to see them. I would have LOVED to see 2012 Casey act like a big brother. (Especially considering family is a huge theme in this series)
There was a theory or headcanon going around that girl character could be related to Casey somehow back then if i recall.
I know she later appeared in one of the comics from the series, helping Leo in one issue.
Is there any TMNT 2012 characters you wish we saw more of in the series?
Ooof, there are:
-Mona Lisa's character has some pretty interesting things going on that didn't get more exploration. -Shinigami deserved more screentime and backstory -Renet is another character that deserved more too -We needed to see Casey's family. He mentioned he had a sister -Metalhead was hinted to be rebuild but that didn't happened -Timothy/Mutangen Man. The poor booy got mutated, then freezed up and his plot line got dropped later on.
I'm not one to give opinions on ships but April x Leo in Tmnt Mutant Mayhem feels like a romance masterpiece so far in contrast to whatever April and Donnie had in Tmnt 2012
Do you perfer April as a teenager or as an adult?
Good question.
It depends on the version of her and how she gets written. I think i do like all versions from April. I think she was changed to be a teenager over the years to make her relate more to the turtles.
I do enjoy seeing April having her own job and life in Tmnt 2003 but i do like her version in Rise and her having to deal with her father going missing in Tmnt 2012.
It doesn't matter to much as long as she is well written and has proper development.
You cool if ppl send asks related to TMNT stuff? wanted to ask before I sent anything in case you weren’t
Sure! I mean this is a TMNT blog Lol But yeah, i'm okay with people sending me asks
I have recently been getting back into TMNT lately and whilst I haven’t caught up with all of the iterations yet, one consistency that I have noticed that keeps fucking me up is that every storyline that depicts the future for the brothers - Donnie always dies.
The Last Ronin comics are a given, considering it’s focused on Mikey’s grief with the death of his whole family - not just Donnie. But this consistency also exists in both RotTMNT and the 2003 iteration.
RotTMNT’s film depicts only Leo and Mikey as the only surviving members of the original family unit - not long before they both pass as well.
Whilst I am not familiar with the 2003 series (plus I don’t want to spoil myself too much), I understand that while Donnie didn’t died in “Same as it Never Was” - the people around still grieve his absence. Him being sent to the future directly caused not only the events of that episode to take place, but the erasure of a future Donnie to begin with; thus leading his brother to believe he died (again, that’s what I am pretty sure is going on).
The only exception to this rule was the 2012 series, and even that is loosely stated. Donnie is the only one to die due to the mutagen bomb. The only reason he was able to survive was due to his mind being connected to Metalhead and even then, he is still technically dead. The Donnie that we watched throughout the series and Donbot are not the same people. Donbot is just Metalhead with a dead teenager’s consciousness uploaded into it.
His survival was due to a lucky alignment of circumstances and despite it, he doesn’t even get to live.
Some things never change, and I love it!
God help me I made this at 1 am. I don't care about the quality at this point. I made it because of the original that's under here:
Rise Characterizations: The Foot Clan
Since I've posted on Cass, I figured it would be useful to post separately on the Foot Clan as a whole.
plss mikey just wants to be like his big brother so bad😭🧡💙

I wanted to draw this little comic idea where all the Leos pass down lessons to each other 😊💙 I really like how it turned out! Especially since this was my first time drawing 2012 and MM Leo digitally 😁
