Edited some tears on them to match the storyboards. bc GOD if there's on thing I'd change about the 2012 animation it's that they refused to animate tears??? like this scene is literally shot-for-shot from the storyboard, except they removed the tears. sick and twisted.

requiem and owari kinda suck

it especially does splinter so dirty.

like requiem has this whole deal about “leo don’t lead with your head lead with your heart”

which i hate.

like,, listen. yes your heart, which ig means your love for others? is very important! but without your mind, your heart has no direction

what splinter should’ve said is something like,, use your head, but use it for the good of your team, or something.

also leo said splitting up was a bad idea later in the episode, and splinter told him no,,,, EVEN THO LEO WAS RIGHT??? he was using his head to keep his team safe!! he had the better strategy!

splinter’s plan just got himself killed!!

and his whole talk with leo just bothers me. i don’t like the “oh no you asking to be leader didn’t matter bc you were gonna be leader anyway” thing. like don’t tell him that agdkah.

say something more like,, “you asking showed your humility and eager spirit to lead your brothers.”

and also it implies that splinter put more effort into teaching leo to be a leader than the others.

yes leo is best qualified to be the leader. but everyone has leader qualities, and to ignore those qualities for the other 3 brothers is a bad move. teach them to also know how to lead in case something happened to leo. don’t put leo on such a pedestal. also leo has such an ego, pls don’t encourage it agdkahdk

also i have mixed feelings about karai being sent to the hospital. i like how she goes down in a burning building as an echo to her mother’s death, but karai deserved to join her brothers in defeating shredder.

and leo shouldn’t have been the one giving her mouth to mouth bc of implications

like,,, any of her other brothers or splinter or april would’ve been better bc there’s no implications there. or have shini do it.

and in owari, I HATE IT SM.

splinter’s like,,,,, “so yknow how i’ve been telling you for the whole series, as recently as two episodes ago, that revenge is always a bad idea … yeah ignore that and go avenge me pls”

i just wish instead of splinter telling them to avenge him, shredder went and decided to destroy splinter’s family too, and the turtles defeated him in defense or something. it might’ve made more sense idk.

and the fight scene is cool but i have notes.

i wish april and casey got a few hits before losing the boss fight privileges. they were shoved out before it even started smh.

all the boys got their spotlight which i love but ,,,, WHY WAS DONNIE KICKED OUT FIRST I HATE IT

and it sucks bc he almost got the coolest part of the fight. when he dived at shredder with his naginata and splashed him with retromutagen. it felt so worthless and idk i want more for donnie.

i like leo beheading shredder but i wish the brothers were there to witness it. like it only being leo there feels less like teenage mutant ninja turtles,,, all four brothers ,,,,, and more like the leonardo show. LEO’S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER BUT HES NOT THE ONLY MAIN CHARACTER.

and like okay there are good scenes (like april and casey) but these are my gripes that i’m thinking about rn

You know what’s a bummer about how season 4 ended?

...Shredder won. Sure, Leo managed to decapitate him shortly after, but think about it... Shredder’s greatest ambition and hope was that one day, he would kill Hamato Yoshi. He was obsessed with revenge. All he cared about was killing his brother, and he finally did.

He then spent the rest of his days, as brief as they were, relishing in his victory. He probably thought he had the fight with the turtles in the bag right up until Leo finished him. 

That smug son of a batch of cookies eventually got his way, even if it was just for a few days. Even though the theme song says, “The good guys win and the bad guys lose,” it doesn’t feel like it. I can only hope that killing Splinter didn’t give him the satisfaction he hoped it would... and that if it’s true people can be conscious for a few seconds after decapitation, he had just enough time to think, “Shoot, I lost!” I’m not mad at the writers for writing it this way... they crafted a story that made me feel all the feels. Still... it’s a major bummer.

You can see the anger, murder and vengeance in their eyes.
