#their cartoony ways of combat don’t work anymore because this show isn’t as cartoony

yeah c’mon guys keep it pg 13

#y’know i hear a lot of people shitting on this episode in particular #saying that the writers fucked over the 87 turtles by making them so incompetent when in the previous crossover episode #they were perfectly capable of fighting. that they were intentionally dumbed down to make the 12 boys look better or something #and while i do agree they made the 87 boys a lot uh. worse in fighting. i like to think there’s a good reason for it #the series got a lot darker as it went on. i mean with splinter dying and leo fucking killing splinter and the world almost ending #i think when 87 raph says “you can’t kill us this is a kids show!” when 2 characters have been killed along with each of the 12 boys once #it’s been made apparent that though this is a kids show it’s somewhat matured. and that’s why i think they’re worse at fighting suddenly #their cartoony ways of combat don’t work anymore because this show isn’t as cartoony #anyways yeah those are my thoughts #season 5 ep 18 #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt leonardo #tmnt raphael #tmnt donatello #tmnt michelangelo #tmnt 1987
