how did you end up liking the ep ?

It was ok… kinda felt like the younger, less developed sibling of the episode in 2003 season 1 where the turtles fight an overwhelming muscular foe in a wrestling cage  & the episode in season 6 where Raph and Leo become wrestling champions kinda by accident so it really just made me wanna re-watch those again tbh =_=‘’

At least we got a heartwarming ending and the fighting between them was refreshingly short & resolved quickly, and I kinda like that they both admitted the other one was at least partly right 🙂

OK, Leo looks really freaking adorable and all but… 

I feel like I know where this is going and “A character becomes cocky after accidentally winning a prize/competition and has to be reminded of his place/the importance of his family/hard work” is a trope I really really hate – hopefully the show dosen’t go in that direction but I don’t have a lot of hope in that regard…

all in all this episode so far makes me cringe really hard…

Finally!

Life really got in the way lately (who knew being an adult with a job and projects and stuff is so time-consuming???)

But – I finally have some free time so I hope I can get to watch all the rottmnt I couldn’t watch until now!

I waited until now to answer some asks I got about the characters cause I want to make sure I didn’t miss anything important that might have happened in these episodes so hopefully, I’ll answer them soon ^_^

I feel bad about this, but in all honestly I don’t really like what they did with Leo. I don’t think it’s bad, and i’m willing to give it a chance because maybe it’ll be awesome, but generally speaking I guess I don’t like the change as much because I really associated with Leo when I was younger and even as I got older, and the new one… just isn’t my leader in blue. I don’t know, I’m sorry, just wanted to get that off my chest.

Oh, I can totally understand!

I don’t think you should feel bad about it at all though, it IS a big change from the character we all knew and love and he’s definitely not gonna resonate as much with the same audience who liked his previous incarnations.

It might not look like it from my blog since I try to look and talk mostly about the pros and what I like in the shows/comics but I have a lot of issues with this new show. I also had many with the 2012 series, and I actually ended up dropping it halfway through when I realized that watching a new episode was becoming a chore more than fun.

I don’t really like “terrible one-liners” Leo, almost as much as I don’t like “badly acts out leading fantasies from bad tv shows” Leo.

I hope this is too soon to judge and the show will become better once the plot kicks in (it is going to right???) 

with that said, although I hope the show finds its feet soon and become better and that you’ll enjoy it more if you keep watching I think it’s important to remember that watching a show in a franchise you like isn’t an assignment, you don’t have to know or watch everything that comes out if you don’t enjoy it. thankfully the old shows don’t disappear when a new one comes out so you can revisit them and talk about them as much as you’d like (I’d LOVE to talk about anything if you’d like to message me about it!)  

and don’t apologize! I LOVE hearing people’s opinion on these show and talking with other fans – that what I made this blog for!
