The whole scenario was honestly crazy. The turtles & mutanimals had the opportunity and advantage they were waiting for, with Shredder cornered and alone. Yet everyone was brought down in seconds.

Kinda scary to think.. if Slash hadn’t brought the statue down and opened up an escape, could Shredder simply have killed everyone right there in his dungeon? He had his claws out seemingly ready for the killing blow, and backup with Tiger Claw was already on their way…

The turtles were also ready to straight-up kill Shredder too at this point in the series, with Leo encouraging Raph to just stab him moments earlier. How crazy would it be to see it play out — if the Foot would simply overwhelm everyone, or if the turtles could persevere and end the war there as well

A recent post was talking about how Shredder tanked 8v1 like he had observation haki and it got me thinking:

There's another level of aura (is that what the kids say?) when it comes to giving Splinter and the turtles literal nightmares without any supernatural powers or mutagen. Just karate and spite??

I wonder what the general power scaling of the show looks like when the main threat is a guy with unresolved jealousy issues and a helmet?

Season one was great for many reasons, but he was the main one for me personally. The turtles often had to plan their attacks around him, not directed at him, because this man dodged two business days earlier and attacked like he was always on a bad day. He was ridiculous (in a good way). Thanks for coming to my ted talk 🍕🐢

Rewatching this I couldn’t believe how amazing the animation is here, season 1 was well animated of course but because it got so much better across the show, I overlooked how great it is here. But I remember this scene always standing out to me when I was younger and now I see why.

Genuinely the best design in the show in my opinion he's so cool looking

I haven’t watched the show in years

https://www.oafe.net/blog/2018/07/soon-forget-mighty-mutanimals/ , I’m not sure of the complete validity of the info, but this is the article it’s from. I love Cheetah April’s design, lowkey wish we could see this in the show.

In this episode (and in general) Raph’s impulsivity gets him into trouble, he rushes into things and it got him kidnapped. However in the final fight of the episode, EVERYBODY else rushes to attack Shredder and gets beaten easily. However Raphael waits until Shredder has been somewhat tired out & THEN charges him, knowing he’ll have a better advantage - which he does, because him and Leo last the longest against him and came the closest to beating him. Even tho they didn’t defeat Shredder here, it’s still a great lesson that to get the best result, you need to have patience instead of rushing into things.

Casey didn’t stand a chance against Shredder, but he at least had the guts to try and put up a fight….

I went to eat pizza and I made this drawing of the most fanatical pizza lover I've ever seen.

He has been with me for over half of my life🥹

Hey, I made this Mikey and Raph fanart based on a image that I found on google, just for fun. What do you think?

Alguém notou que o rosto do destruidor está menos queimada no episódio “aniquilação part 2” ? Tem até um pouco de cabelo na cabeça dele, nas primeiras temporadas o rosto dele e bem mais queimado
