What is the most overrated and underrated ship, in your opinion? (if I can have both)
I’m guessing you mean in TMNT 2012 since it’s the only show I can’t shut up about. XD
Overrated I would say Apritello of course. I wouldn’t mind it really if their relationship hadn’t dragged so much and gone literally nowhere. :/ I’m still angry at the end of the Bigfoot episode, that could have been a great message to tell if April hadn’t gone up and send a bunch of mixed feelings to Donnie again who had just come to terms with Splinter’s wisdom that “you can’t force love on somebody who doesn’t feel the same way.”
Underrated I’d have to choose something less “praised” but also pretty plausable and logical with the show and characters...
I’ll go with Raph and Casey (as a platonic (or also romantic) ship). They’re pretty popular in the fandom but I’m mostly talking about the actual show. - They had a cool start with the two but then mostly focused just on Casey’s and Donnie’s rivalry (Again because of Apritello) and kinda cut out fun (idiotic) scenes they could have had with Casey and Raph. They just kinda declared “Hey Raph and Casey are best buds because it was so in previous reincarnations but let’s just not do anything to show their friendship, okay, here’s Donnie’s jealous face.” :) ;*
It’s just kinda sad this show hadn’t focused more on the relationship of characters instead of coming up with dozen and so mutants and aliens to defeat. The farmhouse arc still angers me because of this. They had everything planned out for an emotional ride and more character and relationship building. But instead we got a Kinder Surprise mutant per episode. :(
I guess we’re gonna have to make do with background scenes. Thank you show’s animators and storyboard artists for sneaking stuff into the episodes. :P
