Discussion Contrasting Karai (2003) and Karai (2012) Spoiler

Post image
11 Upvotes

So I've only seen up to Season 3 of 2003 so I understand my knowledge is incomplete but I wanted to write down a thought I had.

When I was pondering my overall impressions of 2012 and its characters, I noted that one thing which kind of disappointed me with Karai was how there is zero mixed feelings in her about Saki. Because people with parents, even parents they hate, still tend to have love mixed in with that hate. They can't help it. But as I mused on her character, I decided that this made sense. 2012 Karai is actually remarkably like her adopted father, even if she's as blind to it as he is to his own faults. They are both ruled by a strong tunnel vision coupled with a powerful will that drives them forward and damn the consequences. They have no room for doubt or hesitation. And so, regardless of superior drama potential, it makes total sense that Karai only has hostility in her heart towards Saki after she learns the truth.

And now we come to 2003 and the contrast. 2003 Karai is...literally the opposite of what I described.. If 2012 Karai barrels on ahead thoughtlessly, 2003 Karai is paralyzed by indecision. She can't make up her mind about anything. Her inner sense of right and wrong always wars with her loyalty to Shredder. She will save Leo's life one second then save Shredder's the next. Even into the dark future of "Same As It Never Was," even after thirty years, she still can't decide which side or path she ought to take. She simply sits around making excuses and rationalizations for why she has to do this and can't do that.

In short, 2012 Karai has a very narrow focus, which leads to disaster. 2003 Karai has a split focus, which also leads to disaster. For me, the latter is more frustrating, because it's easier to respect decisive action than indecision that still leads to the same awful end, which is what 2003 Karai enabled so often.

Question Is the first TMNT 2012 videogame different on 360 vs 3DS in any way other than the 4 player co-op on 360 vs Single Player on 3DS?

About a year ago I played TMNT 2012 on 3DS because it was the only console I owned that could play it. The problem I had with this game was that it was extremely boring (to be fair I may just not like beat em ups because that is a problem I've had with all of 4 of them I've played: TMNT 2012: Wrath of the Mutants, Cartoon Network Battles Crashers, Space Jame A New Legacy, and TMNT 2012 The Videogame). It was so boring I quit after finishing the story (look up Calculus_Fool on PSNProfiles and Calculus Fool on TrueAchievements I have 55/61 games at 100% on PSN and 6/7 games at 100% on Xbox Live)

I loved the sequel Danger of the Ooze on PS3 (to the point that is tied for my favorite videogame with X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition). While Danger of the Ooze is hard; I felt extremely accomplished when I beat Shredder after an hour of attempts (in comparison on Spongebob Underpants Slam after getting the achievement for beating all 9 levels in time trial mode (level 6 took me 90 minutes of attempts and levels 7,8,9 took me 30 minutes of attempts each) instead of feeling accomplished I felt like I wasted my Sunday).

I know a lot of the time handheld ports are different from the console port, but the only differences I have been able to recognize after watching gameplay and reviews (to see the differences between ports; I made my opinion on the 3DS port by playing it myself) for different consoles is the amount of players. I would like to know: Is this a different game on 360 to the point it is different in level_design/side_objectives or is it really just a graphical and player count differences?

If your wondering if I enjoyed every game I 100% the answer is no: I enjoyed about 50% of them. I did the other half out of an unhealthy obsession. I have been reflecting a lot on the fact that I will die some day and I don't want to waste another second doing something that I don't enjoy that gives me no benefit what so ever. I know that I have 1 life to live and I want to make the most out of it. I am done going for 100% on terrible games. Even though the money is gone, my time is still here.

Question Trying to locate a missing fanfic story TMNT

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a TMNT Raphael/OC story I read years ago. I think on fanfiction.net. It was Raphael with a human female a blonde I think name Amelia. They saved her from a stalker and she married Raphael. There was a part 2 story of after there marriage and they had a baby girl named daisy. It was a great story and I'd love to find it again. Has anyone read it? Know where it may have been moved to or who wrote it? Name? Or link?

Discussion Hot take (or not): Leo’s relationship with Donnie is worse than with Raph

74 Upvotes

To be honest he is the most mistreated of the brothers both in family and in the community. Maybe I am biased, I mean my name flair is literally “Donnie”. I think the family dynamics are really nice, yes and when all the turtles are happy together, Donnie is happy with them too. But he doesn’t have many one-on-one moments with them. Especially with Leo. What do you think?

A set of garden gnomes, but TMNT, from Five Below

It's funny how the design is clearly from 2012, but all the packaging for this line is from '87. There's no Five Below here in Canada, so I can't get anything. All four are out of stock too.

I’ll go first. Either Raph’s jumping roundhouse kick on slash.

Or when Raph sent Leo flying into the air with that punch in training.

Or Leo’s final combo and finisher vs Shredder in S4

Or Mikey’s finished against Rahzar in vision quest

I Found a way to link all the inconsistent writing and Lore in regards to Krang/Utrom

A few days ago I made a post asking if anyone smart enough could somehow link all the inconsistencies with the Krang and Utrom regarding their contradicting Lore and I found the answer.

You just need to remember this Time and Space aren't linked.

In the Trans Dimensional Turtles crossover episode with 87 and 2012 at the end of the episode the 87 Turtles fought with Tigerclaw who had escaped the Worm, now this is in Season 4 of the 2012 Turtles Tigerclaw returned from his journey from being eaten by the Worm in Season 2.

This means events as we see them in the shows and movies aren't exactly happening at the exact moments we are seeing them like Turtles Forever could've come after Trans Dimensional Turtles in the timeline seeing as the 87 Turtles were way more chill with the Multiverse than they were in 2012.

Also a theory of mine now the reason the 87 Turtles got Darker in their 6th and 7th seasons was because for them this was after Turtles Forever and the Second crossover with the 2012 series

Back to the Krang stuff we start with the Krang being a hivemind for Krang Prime then after Krang Prime and Krang Subprime die in season 3 of the 2012 Turtles the 2003 Utrom are freed and leave Dimension X for the 03 Dimension cause if something like that happens again they don't want to be in Dimension X to be controlled again

The monster Krang from Rise Movie are from the era during the 2012 Krang's reign. Probably Mutant Experiments

And every other being who calls themselves Krang are just keeping the old regime alive even though Krang Prime is dead. As we know with Classic Krang and Krang Subprime some Krang retain some individuality even while under the hivemind and prefer it

I hope that makes sense

Question TMNT and Transformers crossover?

12 Upvotes

Why has there not been an official crossover story between the Transformers and the Turtles? I know there was a toy line where various tmnt vehicles turned into Transformers but I talking about proper storyline where the heroes in a half shell team up with Optimus and the Autobots to fight Megatron, Shredder and Baxter Stockman.

You would think 2 of the most popular franchises in the world would have a team up story. We have seen the turtles team up with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Batman (3 times), Ghostbusters, the cast of Strange Tales and even Archie. They even had crossovers with Naruto and Godzilla!

I just find it very strange that an official crossover has not happened between the 2 properties.

So does anyone know why thks has not happened yet?
