IDW MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/ TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: HUMAN DESIGNS OF THE BROTHERS

[bulbabutt]

ok so i know everyone knows the 87 turtles break the fourth wall (and that rise raph has done that too) but something all the rise characters can do is break the frame

like is it as powerful as a fourth wall break? maybe, maybe not, but they also have a fourth wall awareness abt them that i find very entertaining

[manofmanymons]

I THINK ABOUT THIS ONE CONSTANTLY

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.

Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.

And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.

When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.

The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.

GOD I JUST LOVE HOW NEW YORK CITY LOOKS IN MUTANT MAYHEM

Yknow I always think about this scene at the end of the Usagi arc

That scene where Usagi killed Jei (I think that's how its spelled) with Leo's sword and Jei's soul lingers in the sword for a bit before disappearing.

Honestly I wish they would have touched more on this detail. When I first watching I was hoping that his soul had stayed in the sword and would come back in like slowly corrupting or controlling Leo, and Jei trying to use him as his next host (sorta) or like just trying to come back. I think it would've been pretty cool

What if

[mushiestmntblog]

my fave baron draxum fact is that he said he used turtles specifically because they were so built for defence so if he mixed them with lou jitsu’s offensive strength he would have a grand army. makes sense, right? but then you look at donnie. he specifically chose a spiny softshell. a turtle that isn’t built for defence like, at all. it has a soft shell. and you look at this and your first thought is oh ok plot hole it’s a kids show whatever. and i say no. when you look at it like it’s purposeful the actual reason is so much funnier. spiny softshells are one of the most aggressive breeds of turtles and will bite if given the chance to. they also have a decently powerful bite. baron draxum chose 3 turtles specifically for defence and then also decided to choose 1 guy specifically to just be feral and chow down. assigned violent at birth.
