Rock’s Girl

Fandom(s): Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (specifically Out of the Shadows)

Crossover: no

Summary: Rocksteady is nervous to reveal his mutated form to his girlfriend. Bebop is considerably less worried about it and Julia has to deal with the fact that her best friend and her boyfriend are now mutants.

Character(s): Bebop, Rocksteady, Julia (OC)

Pairing(s): Rocksteady/Julia

A/N: I’ve decided to try and repost some of my fanfics on here. I’m also still working on requests, this was just something I wrote in my spare time

Warnings: mild language

The dishwater blonde glanced down at her watch. She couldn't help but wonder why Bebop had told her to meet him and Rocksteady behind Vinnie's Pizzeria on 29th street. The restaurant was closed since it was so early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet. She'd heard on the news about them breaking out of the armored van that was transporting them to a maximum-security prison, the Shredder himself also having also escaped with assistance from his Foot soldiers. She figured they were most likely on the run from the cops. "If they think I'm letting them hide out at my place, they've got another thing coming" she mumbled, glancing at her watch again.

"Julia?"

The woman turned fast at the familiar voice. "Bebop? Finally, you guys are here" She could hardly see them in the shadows since it was still quite dark outside and she had a feeling they were avoiding stepping into the light from a nearby streetlamp. But she could tell that something wasn't right. Even though she could only vaguely see their silhouettes, they were massive. Not that they were small in stature to begin with, but they seemed larger somehow. "If you two came to me looking for a place to lie low, sorry, you'll have to go looking somewhere else"

"Nah, that's not why we're here," Bebop said. "We don't have a lot of time, but, uh, well Rock wanted to see you. There's something you need to know"

"Well, what's going on? And why the hell are you standing in the dark?"

"We don't want you to freak out when you see us," Rocksteady said, his voice unusually quiet. He almost sounded worried.

"Huh? That's ridiculous" The dishwater blonde shook her head. "Just tell me what's going on, guys"

"Something went down yesterday," Bebop said excitedly. "Girl, you're not gonna believe it-!" He let the sentence hang as he finally moved into the light. "Check me out!"

Julia's eyes widened, her hands flying up to her mouth as she tried to hold back a scream. Instead of Bebop standing in front of her, there was a giant humanoid warthog. It couldn't possibly be Bebop, could it? "Oh my god!"

"Cool, right?" He definitely sounded like Bebop and she recognized his purple Mohawk and matching shades instantly. "I'm a...! What did Stockman say I was again?"

"You're a warthog, man"

"Oh yeah, I'm a warthog-man!"

"I...I don't understand..." Julia was at a loss for words, her throat feeling like it was going to close up. Her gaze shifted toward where Rocksteady was standing. "Rock?" She asked softly. "I-I want to see you..."

"Maybe that's not such a good idea-"

"Please don't be afraid to let me see you," Julia said quickly. "I won't be scared, I swear" Her heart was pounding hard in her chest. She glanced toward Bebop, still trying to wrap her mind around what was happening.

Rocksteady hesitated for a few more seconds before he sighed heavily, slowly moving into the light beside Bebop. He held his breath as Julia came face to face with his new form. "Hi, darlin'"

"Rock..." Julia slowly took a step closer. "What, who...who did this?"

"Julia-"

"Who the hell did this to you?!" She swallowed thickly. "Whose ass am I going to have to kick for this?!"

"Calm down, girl!" Bebop said. "We like being this way, right, Rock?"

"Uh...yeah..." The mutant rhino looked down at Julia anxiously.

"You..." She hesitated. "You really like this?"

"Sure do...it's awesome!" Rocksteady laughed nervously. "So, uh, what do you think?"

"I-I don't know, Rock," Julia said softly. She slowly looked him up and down, taking in his mutated appearance. He was at least three feet taller than he'd been before, towering over her and engulfing her in his shadow cast by the streetlamp. She reached up slowly, tracing her fingers along the large horn that protruded from the end of the rhino's nose. "Is this mutation permanent?"

"We don't know" Bebop shrugged. "but I sure hope it is!"

"You don't mind it, do you?" Rocksteady asked, hyper-aware of the hand that was still on his horn. He leaned into her touch and a small smile crossed her face.

"well it'll definitely take some getting used to, that's for sure. But I don't mind it"

"You don't?"

"Not at all"

Rocksteady sighed, clearly relieved. "So...you still wanna be my girl?"

"Of course I do" Julia chuckled. "After all the shit you've pulled over the years, do you honestly think you becoming a mutant rhinoceros is the thing that would drive me away?"

"Uh..." Rocksteady's ears twitched as he thought a moment. "Yes?"

Julia sighed, shaking her head. "Rock, I don't care what you look like. As long as you're happy being this way, it doesn't bother me"

"Well, that's a relief!" The mutant rhino laughed, clearly at ease. "I thought I was gonna lose ya"

"If you haven't by now, I don't think you ever will," Julia said. "And neither of you has answered my question yet. Who the hell did this to you?"

"Dr. Stockman!" Bebop said. "Well, technically it was the Shredder-"

"Wait, Shredder?! Dr. Stockman? Don't tell me you two are working for them!"

"We, uh, we kinda are," Rocksteady said. "But don't worry, we know what we're doing"

Julia sighed heavily, running a hand through her hair. "I sincerely doubt that" She mumbled. "Look, I know you guys have been around the block a few times, so to speak, but Shredder is bad news, even compared to you two"

"You don't have to bother worryin' about us, Jules" Bebop said, laughing.

"I just..." She sighed again, glancing up at the rhino towering over her. "I just want you to be safe, okay? I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you two"

"It'll be alright, love" Rocksteady said, slowly reaching out and putting his hand on her cheek. "We'll be back before you know it"

The dishwater blonde smiled slightly, covering his hand with her own, a bit alarmed for a moment when she felt just how huge his hands were now. Yep, this whole mutant thing was definitely going to take some getting used to. "You'd better be. I don't want to have to hunt you down and kick your asses for making me worry"

Rocksteady chuckled. "I'll be sure to call ya, let you know how the mission is going"

Julia nodded. "Good. Where exactly are you headed, anyway?"

"Brazil!" Bebop cut in. "And speaking of that, we'd better get going, Rock. Don't want to upset the boss"

"Right" Rocksteady nodded, turning back to Julia. "Oh! I almost forgot, Beebs and I both got new phones, can't be traced easily. You have your phone with ya, darlin'?"

"Sure do," Julia said, already getting the hint as she took said phone out of her jacket pocket, punching in the numbers that Rocksteady told her.

"I'll contact you as soon as I can"

"You'd better," Julia said, a slight smile crossing her face. "Please be careful, both of you"

"We will be," Bebop said. "And don't you worry about Rock, I'll make sure he gets back to ya in one piece!"

"Thanks, Beebs, I appreciate that" She hesitated a moment before moving forward and wrapping her arms around Rocksteady as much as she could. Her smile widened when she felt his arm slip around her, doing his best not to crush her. "I love you, Rock"

"Love you too, Julia"

Bebop's phone suddenly rang, startling the three of them as Julia reluctantly pulled away from Rocksteady. The mutant warthog shrugged to quickly get his phone out of his pocket, grumbling under his breath before he finally answered it. "Hey, boss! Oh, oh yeah, we're on our way right now, don't you worry!" He hung up, glancing at Rocksteady. "We'd better get movin', man, our plane's leavin' in forty-five minutes"

"Yeah..." Rocksteady and Julia looked at each other. "I'll call you later, darlin'"

"I'll be waiting," Julia said, nodding as the two mutants lumbered off, Rocksteady glancing at her over his shoulder a few times as Bebop started babbling on about something. The rhino suddenly turned his attention to his friend, laughing and shoving him in response to whatever he'd just said.

The human woman sighed, slipping her hands in her jacket pockets as she watched them until they disappeared around the corner ahead and she couldn't see them anymore.

That afternoon, as she was putting away her dishes from lunch, her phone rang, indicating Rocksteady was contacting her through a video call. She smiled as she hit 'accept' and the familiar rhino's face appeared onscreen. "Hey, darlin'! Calling ya just like I said I would"

Julia chuckled as Bebop suddenly appeared beside him, trying to adjust the phone so they could both be in the frame.

They may have been mutants now, but they were still her guys and she wouldn't have them any other way.

The Good, the Bad, and the IDK How To Feel About That of: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) (Part 1)

My thoughts on the 2016 TMNT movie (not going to lie, I liked it so much more that the first one), what I liked about it and what I didn’t, with some random smart-alek comments and rambling in there because I can. My opinions will differ from others, now let’s have some fun!

Good: STRAIGHT TO THE TURTLES!!! It took so long to show them in the first movie, now we’re getting them right away!

Good: DONNIE GETS THE FIRST LINE!!! I felt like Donnie was severely underappreciated in the first movie and HOLY HECK do they make up for it in this one.

Good: “Squirrel formation, lol”

Good: “Do it, do it, not gonna stop until you do it” Lol, A+ on the sibling relationship there, if I had a nickel for every time one of my siblings did something similar then I wouldn’t have to worry about student loans.

Good: The ENTIRE bit from when they jump off of that building, to when they get to the basketball game, like they’re just flipping all over the place while having fun and I love it.

Bad: MIKEY IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A “PIZZA LOVER”, HE’S THE LITTLE BROTHER, THE HEART OF THE TEAM, THE GOOFY KID THAT COULD MAKE HIS BROTHERS SMILE EVEN AFTER THE ROUGHEST DAY, YOU KNOW THAT IF THEY LOST HIM THEIR WORLD WOULD BE SO MUCH DARKER, DON’T DEGRADE HIM TO JUST A “PIZZA LOVER”!!!

Good: How hyped they all get while watching the game, especially Donnie, it’s adorable.

**Well, they made it pretty obvious what the main Raph v. Leo conflict is going to be, didn’t they?

Bad: HOW DARE YOU GET THEIR HOPES UP LIKE THAT!!!

Good: DONNIE’S PEASHOOTER! AND HOW THEY ALL GET SUPER INVESTED IN PRANKING VERN! I LOVE IT! (You can even see Leo laughing with them, even when he’s trying to be the responsible one.

Good: Freaking HECK they act so much like teenagers in this movie and I love it!

Good: Lol, casually shocks younger brother.

Good: I LOVE THE WATCH THAT DONNIE MADE FOR APRIL (not going to lie, I didn’t recognize April until she took off the wig, but that’s just me being horrible at recognizing people, lol)

IDK: Come on Stockman, 15 decimal points of Pi is nothing, I know 5th graders that can go out to at least 40. Up your game man, you’re supposed to be a genius.

Bad: April’s disguise walk. Come on, people, did we really need that?

Good: THE LITTLE CARTOON DONNIE FACE THAT WAS DISPLAYED! THE LITTLE ‘HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL’ JINGLE! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

Good: THEY’RE ALL SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME! YOU CAN EVEN SEE LEO DOING A LITTLE JUMP THING!!! IT’S ADORABLE!!!

Good: That was soooooo Leo’s slice of pizza, wasn’t it? Lol

IDK: IDK how basketball works but you’d think that pizza on the court would be some kind of foul or something.

Good: BUMBLEBEE!!! (I know it’s because of how Michael Bay worked on the Transformers movies but I will always love Transformers in general)

Good: Donnie uses the ‘heroes in a half-shell’ jingle for everything and it’s great

Good: I love how they got Stephen Amell to play Casey Jones, I used to watch Arrow a lot so it’s cool to see him in this.

Good: I LOVE HOW THEIR NEW LAIR IS SET UP, CAN I HAVE A WATER SLIDE IN MY HOME TOO???

Good: THE TRUCK!!! AND HOW EVEN THOUGH HIS BROTHERS ARE AMAZED BY IT, DONNIE’S JUST THINKING OF ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT STILL NEED WORK.

Good: Donnie just instantly jumping into engineer mode, messing with wires while rambling about what needs work still, hyperfocused to the point that they nearly crash into the wall. What a mood, Donnie is amazing in this movie.

Bad: Why didn’t they up the security for Shredder’s transport? He’s a crimelord with tons of followers, and yet they only did their standard transport, were they not expecting someone to try and break him out?

Good: “I’m Finnish, because when I start a beat-down, I finish it!” PUNS, I LIVE FOR THEM

Good: Not going to lie, while Bebop and Rocksteady were definitely intended to be the comic relief, I love how good of a friendship they have, like throughout the movie they’re just continuously joking around with each other.

Bad: Unprepared shot gun when transporting a guy that won’t hesitate to murder you.

Good: The driver’s tone of voice when saying the shells are in the bag because he knows he messed up, lol

Good: GIANT NUNCHUCKS!!! LIKE DONNIE JUST LOOKED AT THE DUMPTRUCK ARMS THINKING ‘What can I do with these…” AND THEN DECIDING TO MAKE THEM INTO GIANT NUNCHUCKS!!!

Good: All of those features in the truck, there’s SO MUCH and I love it all!!! (I’m such a nerd, lol)

**OMG, the Arc Capacitor is going to bring Cybertron to Earth! We’re going all G1 of the Transformers cartoon, aren’t we? (I’m being a sarcastic nerd, ignore me, lol)

Good: The little tongue thing Donnie does while thinking is adorable (they make him so relatable in this movie and I love it)

IDK: Wow, they’re just hammering home the whole ‘they can’t be seen by humans’ thing in this movie. (I know it’s a plot point but it feels forced, you know they’re aware of this stuff already.

Bad: Honestly though, they only had two people in the truck and they were ambushed, they’re being super tough on Casey.

Bad: IDK if I’m just not understanding the conversation, but when they’re talking about Rocksteady hitting a guard, it sounds like they’re talking about Casey, but it was Bebop that knocked him out

Good: Leg clan, lol

Good: THE SKATEBOARD CAN FLY!!! (It would be so insanely complex, like using balance to control both left/right and up/down, but then would you use amount you’re leaning one way as speed or degree of turning…there’s so many possibilities and I’m too much of a nerd, I want to know how it works)

Bad: The turtles couldn’t go with April to TCRI because it was almost light out, but when she gets there it’s almost night and then she gets saved by the turtles because then it is night and they can go outside.

Bad: STOCKMAN DOESN’T TEST THE MIXTURE OR ANYTHING TO SEE WHAT IT’S MADE OF, JUST JUMPS TO INJECTING PEOPLE WITH IT

Bad: ROCKSTEADY, YOU DON’T JUST LICK THINGS IN PETRI DISHES, THAT’S HOW PEOPLE DIE

Good: I do like how Bebop and Rocksteady’s transformation looks visually, especially when all of Rocksteady’s hair falls out, it’s pretty cool

Bad: “…gene tying us to our animal ancestors” NO. THAT’S NOT…NO!!! IF THIS GUY HAS A DEGREE IN ANYTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY RELATED TO BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM!!!

Good: Lol, even Shredder gives Stockman a look like “even I know that’s not how science works”

Good: Casey Jones with his hockey mask and stick, I approve

Good: THE NINJA WOOD FLUTE SOUND WITH THE TURTLES ARRIVAL!!!

Good: Casey’s reaction to the turtles, how they’re just laughing at it, and Mikey deciding to mess with him, lol

Good: Mikey’s introduction of the turtles, especially how Donnie just plays along

Good: April says that the purple ooze like the stuff in the dart she has mutated people, and Donnie instantly jumps into science mode

(Splitting this into 2 parts again, lol)

The Ninja Turtles and the Louds (TMNT/TLH Crossover) - Summary and Ideas

Hello everyone, this is gemturtle here saying that what I'm planning to do here is a TMNT and Loud House crossover series called "The Ninja Turtles and the Louds". Here's the summary:

In this AU, the Loud Family have moved over from Michigan to New York about 3 months ago. Lincoln Loud, who is the only boy in a family of 10 sisters, is feeling very stressed and uneasy about his new life in Manhattan and having new friends like Clyde and April. But one day while being chased by purple dragons, he was saved by 4 weird strangers who turn out to be 4 giant talking mutated turtles who can do ninjitsu! With these new friends/brothers, Lincoln, his sisters, April and the turtles will embark on living with the difficulties of normal life and going on numerous adventures and battling against ninja, mutant, alien, and mystical threats, all while remembering the importance of family. This is a crossover series that shows the bonding between 2 unusual families.

Major TMNT Characters: Leo, Mikey, Donnie, Raph, April, Casey, Hamato Yoshi/Splinter, Shredder, Irma, Karai, Kimiko, Ice Cream Kitty, Tiger Claw, Hun, Leatherhead, Old Hob, Krang, Eric Sacks, Bebop, Rocksteady, etc.

Major TLH Characters: Lincoln, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily, Clyde, Lynn Sr., Rita, Howard, Harold, Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Mr. Grouse, Agnes Johnson, etc.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Coming-of-Age, Slice of Life, Friendship, Family.

Rating: T (For drama, dark violence, blood, etc.)

Pairings: Leo/Karai, Lincoln/Ronnie Anne, Lori/Bobby, Splinter/Tang Shen, Lucy/Rocky, Rita/Lynn Sr., Howard/Harold, onesided Lori/Clyde, onesided Lincoln/April etc.

Author's Notes:

- The idea to make this crossover series was influenced by MiniJen's Universe Falls story, which is a crossover series between Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. Just like her story, it also takes place in another universe where the 2 series co-exist with one another. I first thought of this idea when I saw the LH episode "One of the Boys" (Hated that episode btw) where the oldest brothers had the voices of the turtles and plus, they all love PIZZA! So I thought to myself, what if Lincoln and his sisters actually met the turtles? At first I wanted to be a simple one-time crossover, but I just wanted them to interact as much as possible and see how well they work off one another. I could picture Lincoln seeing the turtles as the coolest "brothers" with them being pretty much like superheroes, and they would most likely have the same interest (Reading comics, playing video games, watching cartoons, etc.), and I also picture the Loud sisters being jealous of the turtles for spending a lot of time with their only brother. But the more the sisters spend time with the turtles, the more they see that they're not so different. I want to see the Loud Siblings trying help out on the turtles' adventures in fighting evil while interacting with each other in various 'slice of life' situations, which it's a hard thing for the turtles since they have to remain in the shadows. So I thought about doing something similar to Universe Falls and came up with this idea. Plus they're both properties of NICKELODEON, so it's possible we might actually see a crossover with these 2 someday. But for now, I would like to create this series.

- I figured what's going o be different from this series between TMNT and the Loud House is that instead of Royal Woods in Michigan, the LH characters will all live in New York since it is a important setting for the TMNT characters.

- Just like Universe Falls, this series will be divided into arcs with about 10-12 stories each instead of being 26 episodes each per season like TMNT. I plan to adapt some stories from the Loud House into my series and actually re-write them so that way they would have more of an accurate continuity unlike the actual show and hope not to add so much "Lincoln Torture" since I want to make this less mean-spirited and more genuine, I also plan to reduce the amount of toilet-humor (I mostly dislike that trope). So there will be some I won't do that I mostly dislike (Such as Making the Case, The Green House, Brawl in the Family, No Such Luck, etc.). As for the TMNT side of things, what will be very interesting about this crossover I won't be using any previous TMNT incarnations (Mirage, 1987, 2003, 2012, etc.) but to make it a brand new incarnation, so I can create my own version of the TMNT characters to interact with TLH characters. Now I don't know how many arcs will be created, it all depends on how long the TLH show can go or how many TMNT stories I can adapt.

- I have a lot of ideas I want to use and some that I'm not sure of; for one, I asked a DeviantArt user LeaderinBlue84 if I could borrow some of his TMNT ideas to use for this series.

- Leo in this series will be more influenced by his 2012 counterpart, but he is also an extreme anime lover, mostly listens to classic music, creates fan art with his username LeaderInBlue84. He would kinda be like the "Star-Lord" of the TMNT series, so he and Luna would get along well. Also, he will also have a wonderful bromance with Lincoln, as he would likely look up to Leo as his personal hero and a genuine role model and Leo would look up to him for never giving up for a child his age.

- Mikey is also the same goofball prankster we all know and love, and will be the most open-minded character in the series. He would give names to new mutants and bad guys and collect stickers to put on his shell.

- Raph will be the same sarcastic hot-headed bad ass he's always been, but he does have a soft and friendlier side for Lincoln and April.

- Donnie would be the lovable nerd with a big brain. For him, I figured he would be a little smarter than Lisa but would more of a nervous wreck and a clean freak like Double D from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I also think would could also have gynophobia (Fear of females) from a traumatic experience. While he will be used to April, it would give him a hard time with Lincoln's sisters.

- April would be a teenager like her 2012 counterpart as well, she will be at the age of 15. Unlike meeting them like in previous incarnations she would have met the turtles at the age of 10 and is an orphan girl that is taken in by Splinter. She would also have developed some training as a kunoichi. She would also have a pretty developed busty chest for her age amking her socially insecure and making some of the Loud sisters jealous, but she would still be friends with them. And instead of Cristina, I was thinking Lincoln would have a unrequited crush on April for the first few episodes, until he hooks up with Ronnie Anne.

- Casey for the beginning of the series will be a juvenile delinquent and working for the Purple Dragons like Danny from the 1990 movie, but will soon quit and become a vigilante against them.

- I'm still wondering whether to make Splinter Yoshi who was mutated into a rat or have Yoshi and his sons be reincarnated into turtles and a rat like in the IDW comics, as well as Shredder's origin. Splinter will also not just bring wisdom to the turtles, but also to Lincoln and his sisters.

- There will be some street violence, blood, and intense battles in this crossover.

- And just like most of the fandom, I hope to actually make Luna and Leni be Lincoln's closest sisters being more of motherly figures to him so it is said that they have the closest relationship.

- As the romance for this series will go, I really don't mind Anthro/Human relationships like Leo/Karai. As long as the relationship is developed like Goliath/Elisa from Gargoyles. I want to try taking a crack at having Raph/April in this series, and I figure that maybe she and Casey would date only for a while. I was also thinking of one of the turtles hook up with one of the Loud sisters, I won't say who but it might be the most ironic relationship.

- I will also have some loud siblings to have a close relationship with each turtle: Leonardo (Lincoln, Lori, Luna), Michelangelo (Luan, Lana, and Lily), Donatello (Leni and Lisa), and Raphael (Lynn, Lucy, and Lola).

- I was also thinking of having Lincoln and April keeping the turtles a secret from his sisters until the end of the first arc and the parents wouldn't find out until the second.

- I figured Lincoln would be trained by Splinter to become a ninja, and MAYBE some of his sisters, specifically Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy.

- Like I said before, there will be some stories I will adapt from TMNT; like I plan to do the Search for Splinter arc but differently. Instead, April and the turtles will live with the Louds until they find Splinter.

- I also want to do multiple crossovers in the future as well; such as Ghostbusters, Batman, Usagi Yojimbo, etc.

So that's basically it. What are your thoughts on this? Think this might be a good idea? How do you think the Loud siblings will react to meeting the turtles? How will they're interactions be? What TMNT characters would you like to see in this crossover? Could you see Splinter giving the Louds wisdom? How will Rita and Lynn Sr. react to the turtles? What kind of stories would you like to see? Let me know in the reviews.

The Good, the Bad, and the IDK How To Feel About That of: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) (Part 2)

(Continuing from where we left off)

Good: THE ENTIRE BIT WITH CASEY V. SPLINTER! How you see Raph and Mikey look at each other with mischief in their eyes before trying to look serious, how Leo laughs for just a moment before trying to be the serious leader again and trying to get them to stop, and then how they all just look on in amusement when Casey charges Splinter, it’s all wonderful! Plus with Splinter’s “giant rat one, new guy zero” YOU KNOW he heard them and played along. I love it all.

Bad: Casey only ever saw the truck from the front, so how would he recognize the Tartaruga Brothers logo?

Good: Just give me an entire movie of Donnie doing science stuff, it’s all I need in life.

Good: Leo’s head shake and smile when Donnie’s rambling about science stuff (I’m ignoring the initial eye roll)

Good: AUGH, HOW DONNIE INSTANTLY STOPS BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BECOMING HUMAN, COMING UP WITH REASONS WHY WHAT LEO’S SAYING MAKES SENSE, IT HURTS MY HEART SO GOOD JOB MESSING WITH MY EMOTIONS

Good: Leo’s sword training is AWESOME (I’m jealous, high-key jealous)

IDK: You guys haven’t finished that Christmas album yet? It’s been a year, lol

Good: I really like how instead of just charging in, yelling about how Leo didn’t tell them about the ooze, Raph leads up to it, talking about honor which he knows is important to all of them.

Good: THE LOOK ON RAPH’S FACE, LOOKING AT LEO LIKE “Did you really think we wouldn’t find out”

Good: YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT MOMENT LEO REALIZED WHAT RAPH IS TALKING ABOUT AND IT JUST SCREAMS “oh shit” THIS BOY KNOWS HE DONE MESSED UP

Bad: You tell people about this stuff Leo

Bad: You did not consult with Donnie, you told him what to do

Bad: “There’s only one vote that counts in this family, mine.” LEO NO

Good: Donnie nerding out about the museum, same

Good: Donnie rambling on about science, his mind whirling at a mile a minute while he figures out what’s going on, freaking heck they did so well with Donnie in this movie

Good: Knowing that portals work both ways (it’s like Hawkeye from Avengers all over again)

Good: April knowing something is up with Raph and Mikey doing stuff without Leo and Donnie, but rolling with it

** “Who you calling chicken, turtle?” Oooooh, sick comeback Jones (not)

Good: I feel like all the comments about Casey not being buff or anything is them joking about Amell’s role in Arrow, because at this point the shows been going on for like…4 years, and he’s freaking jacked in that show, plus I’ve seen this guy run through an American Ninja Warrior obstacle course like it’s nothing. If this is them making jabs at that, then that’s hilarious.

Good: I love Raph and Mikey trying to get through police headquarters by themselves, like A for effort you guys, you’re doing so well.

Good: ‘Heroes in a half-shell’ jingle again and Donnie sounding happy that Mikey’s calling him and then instantly going into big brother mode and telling Mikey that they’re on their way.

IDK: THEY’RE NOT MONSTERS AND I KNOW THIS IS JUST HAMMERING HOME THE WHOLE ‘they wouldn’t be accepted’ THING WHICH IS WHY I’M NOT MARKING THIS AS BAD BUT HOLY FREAKING HECK AM I PISSED AT THAT COP!!!

Good: Mikey’s soft “we’re not monsters” SOMEONE GIVE THIS RAY OF SUNSHINE A HUG, HE DOESN’T DESERVE THIS

IDK: I really don’t know how to feel about Leo’s reaction to Mikey feeling hurt by what the cop said. I really don’t.

Good: Mikey sounding genuinely happy for Bebop and Rocksteady “achieving the power of flight”, lol, pure bean.

IDK: Is Raph only afraid of jumping because of the lack of things to grab on to or something, he jumps around New York and off of buildings no problem.

Good: DONNIE JUST CASUALLY WALKING OUT OF THE PLANE

Good: All of their reactions to Donnie just jumping, lol

Good: “Prepare for the ouch!” AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY SAY OUCH WHEN THEY HIT THE PLANE, LOL XD

Good: Mikey’s reaction to seeing a giant warthog and rhinoceros that he knows they’re going to have to fight is just the single “HEH” awkward laugh, I love it

Good: Donnie just holding onto the part of the Arc Capacitor and telling everyone who’s fighting around him to watch it, lol

Good: IF YOU LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND AFTER ROCKSTEADY FIRES THE TANK, YOU CAN SEE LEO JUST GIVING HIM THIS LOOK AND THEN HE JUST RAISES HIS ARMS LIKE “are you serious right now”

Good: Donnie’s “I’m doing awesome”, yeets the control stick away, lol

**Bebop, don’t tell me you’re thinking you can outswim a turtle, please

Bad: I hate how much wire was used to run the camera feed to the box, it’s so inefficient and an absolute waste of wire.

Good: Once again ‘heroes in a half-shell’ jingle being used because the job was successful, I love how much Donnie uses this little ring tone for things.

Good: I hate conflict but it’s very well done right here and I just want them to stop fighting, so bravo making me feel emotions again.

Good: Donnie instantly jumping to Mikey’s defense with a “how could you!”

Good: The Chief just says “well-played” in response to Casey having picked her pocket to steal her phone, big mood

IDK: I want to know how Donnie hacked the Technodrome, like is it just one giant Wi-Fi hotspot, how did he even connect to it?

IDK: How does he know the atmosphere is toxic, just give me a little explanation, please

**I want to know how that ooze works, full injection causes full permanent mutation, drops of slightly re-engineered version causes very temporary changes lasting only a few seconds, and apparently one sip changes external appearance but not internal systems. Does it have to physically enter the body via injection or ingestion in order to make permanent changes? (assuming it would permanently change their appearance, that could also be temporary, but if it was then wouldn’t Donnie say that?) Why would it start externally and work inwards when it would first make contact with internal systems? (so many questions, I just want to know how it works, I love science stuff)

IDK: And Raph just made the decision for everyone without asking…just like Leo did

Bad: PUT DOWN THOSE GUNS I SWEAR

Bad: EVEN AFTER SHE SAYS TO HOLD THEIR FIRE THERE’S STILL COPS POINTING THEIR GUNS, STOP IT

Good: I LOVE THEIR LITTLE TEAM UP THING ACKNOWLEDING EACH OF THEIR DIFFERENCES!

**A footnote in the history of the Foot clan, ba-dum tss

Good: “When something bad happens, you want to be with the turtles!” Lol, Vern’s got it figured out

Bad: Why is Shredder surprised about being betrayed by Krang when he just betrayed Stockman?

Good: I’m pretty sure in the area where Krang puts Shredder, you can see a Triceraton and I love the reference.

Good: I love Casey’s “well do you wanna switch?”, he sounds so done

Good: “chewed up piece of gum with a face” is the best description of Krang that I’ve ever heard

Bad: The way Vern jumps down on that Foot ninja, like come on, the dude saw him and still didn’t do anything!

Good: “He is literally re-arming” Lol, very true

Good: Excellent use of momentum when Leo nearly gets thrown off the Technodrome and just swings back around, I love it

Good: When Donnie finds the beacon, just slowly realizing that it’s way out of reach, lol

**I’m so sorry, more science rambling: Would removing the beacon from its spot instantly start messing with the construction of the Technodrome, like are each of the pieces set to assemble in a certain order at certain distances from the beacon, meaning that once assembly has begun and the beacon gets moved, the pieces would suddenly try to readjust? Or is it a more general signal and the pieces know where they’re supposed to connect with room for error, which is why the signal needs to be outside the Technodrome in order for assembly to stop? (I just want to know how it works 😭)

Good: I LOVE how instantly they’re all each going after Krang the moment he has Mikey, saying how nobody messes with Mikey, and I swear, there’s a little bit of extra sass with how they move their weapons after taking Krang down, like a “that’s what you freaking get”. Like, at the end of the day, they’re protective of their baby brother and heaven help anyone that tries to hurt him.

Good: THEY GET KEYS TO THE CITY

Bad: “I think you should give people more credit, they’ll accept you now.” SAYS THE PERSON THAT WAS INITIALLY CALLING THEM MONSTERS WHILE HER OFFICERS POINTED GUNS AT THEM. “You could live a normal life, like the rest of us.” YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE, STOP GIVING THEM FALSE HOPE!

Alright, that’s the entire movie. Honestly, I love it a lot more than the first, there’s so much good stuff in this movie, you can see how they’re teenagers, so much more Donnie (after a severe lack in the first one…I’m also very biased since he’s my favorite, lol), and the sibling relationships between the turtles is great. Time for a tally.

Good: 69.90% (72 goods) Bad: 20.39% (21 bads) IDK: 9.71% (10 IDKs)

(I hear there’s plans for another one…I can’t wait to see how that turns out, lol)
