#battle nexus: new york

[turtleblogatlast]

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.

Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.

Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!

Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…

And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #battle nexus: new york #nah this will always be baffling to me #like no joke big mama really is Leo’s main villain so it makes sense that she’s not paired with him #given that she’s running this all #but giving him ONE of the Sando brothers?? not even both??? #outrageous #hypno or even warren would have been better here tbh #at least there’s some basis there for both and either option would have been so fun #not that what we got WASNT fun it def was but the sando bro was the weak link because no one cares about him #and I would have killed for a Donnie Kendra forced team up 😭 #Donnie also could have worked with Stockboy ig or hell even Repo tbh? #but Kendra is the much more interesting and fitting choice here for him imo #honestly though this post was made because I do NOT understand the choice of CARL SANDO #both of them together are forgettable enough #separating them gets rid of the one thing they even had #I remember watching and being like who tf is that #he’s got some funny moments but man anyone would have been better 😭 #going back to Kendra and Donnie because I LOVE their dynamic #the result of their team up could have ended exactly the same as canon #only instead of Kendra not knowing chess it’s instead her and Donnie arguing about what the right move would be #and they never actually make a move because of it

I just noticed in Battle Nexus: New York, when Draxum was trying to convince the co. that they were trapped in a mind-illusion he asked where the turtles were: the colors of Leo and Donnie were switched. He mistook the twins' colors, that's hilarious!

They're basically identical, duh!

Daily Rise Quotes: DAY 298

Draxum: No! We are trapped inside Big Mama's mystic orb! Look at where we are, and who we're with. How did we get here? Where are the turtles? Who even likes Foot Recruit?

Cassandra: Huh?

Battle Nexus: New York: After Big Mama traps all the New Yorkers in a magic orb and uses the city as her new Nexus arena, the turtles must fight alongside their enemies to save everyone they love. Meanwhile, Splinter, April, Draxum, and Foot Recruit must find a way out of the orb to help the turtles.

Jupiter Jim Ahoy!: The turtles are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet their idol, Jupiter Jim/Marcus Moncrief. But soon, it becomes apparent that he's not all there in the head…

Got to love some pool kisses <3 Some Apritello I drew back in late November that I forgot to share!

Progress shots under the cut :

#rottmnt #my art #rise apritello #donatello #april #kiss kiss fall in love #her outfit in Battle Nexus : New York is so pretty!! #I really like that initial sketch #t'was my first attempt at a painterly look #I've already grown so much since then it's almost scary #just for comparison's sake I did this before the Apritello Secret Santa I posted earlier #jojo-rolo

Painted in a few of my Hypno sketches from earlier :)

#sofia’s art #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt #rise hypno #hypno potamus #pōhutukawa flowers #I enjoy painting grey - grey and white and black are fun because there can be a bunch of colors in there #i very much want to hug this hippo man #sometimes I wonder if the reason hypno and warren tried to become crime buddies with the foot clan #was because the other mutant villains didn’t respect them anymore after hypno was openly encouraging and happy for the turtles when they #reunited in battle nexus new york and hypno and warren were having a hard time finding friends/allies #i think hypno is too kind to stay a villain #he’ll come around #it really felt like his character development was headed for a redemption arc in the show anyway

Was… was Big Mama allowed to do ANY of what she did with the New York Battle Nexus?? I was under the impression that the yokai hid away underground FOR A REASON and were trying to STAY in hiding.

I was under the impression that whatever Big Mama did, it was sketchy and looked down on, but ultimately still legal, because she DOES have patrons. She has money and a hotel and customers and everything. And SHE doesn’t have a wanted poster unlike Draxum (that I know of so far). But now she pulling shit like the Battle Nexus New York and thinking about using the people of New York to be her contestants and I’m wondering if there’s even any kind of Statue of Secrecy or whatever or if the yokai just all collectively think humans just aren’t worth interacting with and that’s why so few people know about them.

Actually, you know what? I don’t think the show EVER explicitly stated that the yokai and mutants HAD to stay a secret. I think they just hide because of how much fuss there would be if they were discovered. I mean, Meat Sweats for mutated on live TV and then showed up again on live TV a second time. And uh, nothing happened to him, nor was the video “mysteriously” taken down or anything.

But I mean, that’s one thing but taking away the ENTIRETY of New York is a WHOLE different ball park. Is Big Mama running an illegal underground fighting ring or is it legit?? What do the people outside of New York think? What do the people of New York themselves think when they realize they all collectively lost a day or however long they were in the orb for?

#like the New York battle nexus was HUGE #you’re telling me that not ONE city or country or town noticed New York being suddenly empty? sounds fucking fake #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #you know… the show NEVER explicitly stated that the yokai and mutants had to hide away #i think so many thoughts as I try to figure out the world of rottmnt #what is yokai culture like? what do they think of humans?? #the ONLY yokai we see on a regular basis is Baron Draxum and Big Mama and uh. those two do NOT represent what all yokai’s think #the Hidden City episodes were so good but at the same time I NEED MORE INFO #worldbuilding
