This Speaks To Me👍🏾

I can't believe I was right🤣 for once in my life.

Best of Both worlds

Ok so if Big mama can make herself look like this: 

and Sunita can blend in at Aprils’s school flawlessly l doesn’t that mean the boys can do it too? 

 This something that’s been on my mind for a while but I just got around to piecing it together. It came to me after re-watching Mystic Library and Operation Normal.  Either their magical abilities either came from something in Drazum’s ooze or from Master Splinter’s DNA. Because I’m calling it now that the sword Lou Jitsu’s ancestor used was magical, with the purpose of destroying the dark armor but that’s beside the point. 

I mean it’s one thing to possess mystical weapons that were probably already enchanted but it’s another to draw a rune, push your magical energy into it to activate said rune and it successfully work on the first try. Raph does all this when releasing Mayhem from the mirror. 

And if the boys can do that, they can definitely pull off the human ”cloak” Sunita, Big mama and even the old lady they followed to Senor Queso’s Pizzeria did. looking back even Draxum’s goons from the first episode could do it too. This means the boys won’t have to face the choice of making the selves human with reverse mutagen/ooze or deciding to stay mutants because they can literally just be both, but I’ll speak on that later. 

The show is too amazing to be canceled

Weekly reminder for the Rise of the TMNT fandom to send out emails to

to show that we support the show!

Let them know that you care, that you want toys, new episodes, that you buy the show, whatever your thoughts are! 

Just be civil about it and REBLOG this, please!

Can we appreciate the fact that Raph was on his top of his big brother/leader game in Jupiter Jim Ahoy. It's the little things that make me love this Raph even more👌🏾

Even tho Raph is as much of a fan as his brothers, he knows that stranger danger is real. He knows that however nice your idol may be you shouldn't follow them outside the convention center to an unknown second location.

And he immediately found it wierd that this grown man old enough to be their father possibly older wanted to take these children, 'because 15 and younger, children is what they are' to a second location.

Because at the end of the day they don't truly know this man, they only know the fictional man he plays on t.v

This is a good subtle lesson to kids that you shouldn't follow anyone to an unknown location no matter how cool, and to always wait and try to gain as many facts as possible, or quietly point on things that don't make sense.

Raph: "Meeting my favorite actor in a populated area? Cool👍🏾"

"Meeting them at their apartment or hotel? Not cool👎🏾

" How did this man change so fast? Is no one else seeing this?"

No Donnie you can't live this strangers weapons closet"

And he was smart enough to not outright start freaking out, and start throwing wild accusations at Moncrief until he was sure that he was dangerous.

I'm really enjoy this show and every knew episode is a treat, that I feel truly opens each the boys own personalities.

Dis my mood right now.

So I’m rewatching Codename Kids Next Door and I’m really getting into it because they’re are so many adult jokes and references I didn’t really understand as a kid. 

But what is really getting me is when I’m rewatching the Mission: Z.E.R.O and Grandfather is facing off  Monty and Father(Benedict) when Grandfather mentions that he rather wish that Monty was evil and that he was only thinking of their heritage. This literally means that Numbuh 1 comes from a long family line of villains that was just recently broken by his father. This means that Numbuh 1 one has the ability to take on a black silhouette form and shoot fire like father if he decides to become evil. 

Imagine one day Numbuh 1 gets really mad and suddenly bursts into flames or shoots fire out of his hands. Or just a little thing like burning the ground when he walks. So many ideas so little time.

Or imagine if both Monty and Ben were evil what would that look like or they switched situations.

Rottmnt Yokai AU.

Mikey and Leo attended "Hidden City Elementary." I like to think that the hidden city is a mix of Japanese and New York culture, like San Franscoyko in Big Hero Six.

This is mesmerizing to watch.

Ben 10 Omniverse isn't a terrible show, but it often misses its mark for the sake of comedy. And it's not even good comedy either; it's the same old "Lol. Ben's so lazy, ignorant, and irresponsible. It's a wonder how he keeps the Omnitrix at all! LMFAO" And it's like, okay, we get it. Everyone thinks Ben is a moron, but if Ben's a moron, what does that make the people who lose to him? 🤨

One of the times Omniverse misses the mark on what could have been a legendary episode akin to Adventures Time's "The Hall of Egress." It is the episode Universe v. Tennyson.

The episode about Ben going to trial for recreating the universe. Besides seeing Alien X fight, the episode doesn't make any sense. And I entirely blame writers. They did not think of the logistics of how a trial of this sort of magnitude would actually go. I wouldn't be surprised if the trial was just an excuse to see the celestialsapiens in action.

They wanted a reason to explain the different art styles and all the retcons. Which in itself is stupid. As the audience, we know why specific changes are made. They didn't need to hand-feed us retconning; it always happens.

But more to the point, the entire trial is a sham. And it pissed me off to no end!

1. Ben was never subpoenaed. Alien or not, you can't part the sky like the Red Sea and drag someone to court. You have to set an official date and time for trial, allow the defense to acquire a lawyer, and build their defense. This is basic shit, and if your excuse is that it's just a kids cartoon, that doesn't excuse bad writing.

I just can't stand when people brush over essential details.

2. Only in certain circumstances can you forcefully take a person to court. And that is if the suspected criminal is considered a danger to the public or a flight risk. And even then, it's an immediate arrest before going to court for a hearing. Ambush arrests are considered a last resort; considering Ben's positions as a plumber and wielder of the Omnitrix, Ben has little to no criminal record.

3. Due process, refering back to my earlier point, the celestial sapiens would have needed to give notice of charges, and Ben would need to be heard in front of an impartial tribunal. The entire universe is not an impartial jury. There's a reason any Rando can't walk into a courtroom and decide whether a person is guilty. What if several people aren't even aware of the trial? That could skewer the vote in favor of the Plaintiff (Celestialsapiens)

If the writers on Omniverse weren't so focused on having a hate boner for the main character, this could have been a great episode. And it is a hate boner because why else would they pick Mr. Baumann as the first witness. This dude had beef with Ben since early childhood before having the Omnitrix. His opinion is beyond biased.

Also, Rook took the first chance to air his petty grievances with Ben in front of the entire universe in a court of law, and that is beyond shitty. Ben being "ignorant of many things" isn't a proven fact; it's a personal opinion. Also, being ignorant is a crime?

And had Ben been sentenced to death or died in the trial by combat, what was the plan afterward? Rook carries Ben's body to his mother and says,

"Sorry, Ms. Tennyson, your minor child didn't have the mental knowledge and fortitude of a 50-year-old veteran; his death was totally justified. "

If Ben is ignorant of many things, it is because he is young and has only just started exploring the universe. Many toddlers should be behind bars if simply being uninformed is a crime. It's like the show constantly forgets that Ben is still young but insists on punishing him for it.

The court case is to decide whether Ben recreated the universe; his lack of knowledge and irresponsibility are not up for debate. Besides, Rook has only known Ben for a few months; I doubt that makes him a sound judge of character.

I wish they had brought different people to the witness stand. They could have made excellent callbacks by bringing characters like

Tetrax- He is literally the guardian of Omnitrix and decided that even at age 10, the Omnitrix was safe in Ben's hands. Also, the fact that Ben restores the planet Petropia can be used to defend Ben's recreation of the universe. 

Reinrassig III- I'm sure the word of Highbreed Supreme would hold more weight in court than Mr. Bauman. A small store owner on a tiny planet in the far corner of the galaxy. 

Queen Cicely of the Lewodan( ep. Con of Rath) - The mother of the Tiffin, you know, the baby Ben jumped down a man's throat to save. Ben broke the law by doing that but still prevented a massive war. 

Magister Hulka- (ep. Basic Training) Hulka is a well-decorated Plumber and was Ben's academy instructor. Ben passed with flying colors despite disobeying orders, saving Hulka's life. He even gave Ben his medal for creativity and effective tactics. His word holds more weight than Rook Blonko's, a literally rookie in the plumber association.

Azmuth- do I even need to say anything?

Maxx and Xylene are more than familiar with the Omnitrix and Ben himself. 

Paradox is literally the number one expert on the subject.

Could you imagine the cross-examination with these characters? 

And even without proper character witnesses, Ben could argue that what is illegal is not always morally right.

What is the actual crime, the crime of caring too much? And if his crime is recreating the universe without prior permission. The celestialspaiens were a hidden society; how would he have gotten permission?  

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If Ben was the only living thing left after the universe was destroyed, did he really break the law since no one was there to uphold it?

Especially since he created the universe up until the very moment it was destroyed, so no time would have passed at all.  

Ben's other option was leaving that universe for dead, and pulling a Rick and Morty, but he didn't do that cause he's not a sociopath. 

The only angle that makes sense for this trial to happen is if it wasn't to prosecute Ben, but to send a message. The message that Celestialsapiens are not to be trifled with and that any attempts will be met with extreme prejudice and even death by combat.

The Celestialsapiens have recreated the universe multiple times, with even more drastic changes than just a smoothie flavor. I mean, Grandpa Max can't even open his eyes, and Azmuth's voice has changed several times. They literally point that out in the episode, and yet this is the first time a trial has ever been broadcasted to the universe.

In fact, this is the first time any other aliens have seen a celestialsapien save for Alien X. And even he was deemed a myth. So why now? Why the grand fan fair? Why broadcast the trial at all? They never notified the universe before.

 It's because the celestial aliens were afraid for the first time since their conception. Their entire beings were briefly erased from existence and recreated, and they did not like it! Do you honestly believe that they changed anything about themselves after recreating the universe multiple times? Of course not!  

But Ben doing that sent the species into a mental spiral of worry and anguish with the fear of not being completely yourself. The same curse they've placed upon the universe prior without any hint of guilt.

The trial was about establishing dominance to keep Ben from recreating the universe regardless of his reasoning. But also to prevent other aliens from attempting the same thing. That's why the trial was broadcasted through the galaxy. This was just a bunch of dick-swinging, so the celestialsapiens don't have to face any sort of actual accountability. 

Heck, I'ma just say it here:

If you haven't yet tried Rise, please do so! It's an excellent show that I believe really carries the core of the TMNT franchise. It's silly and gives us unproblematic teen boys who slowly learn and grow into their role as heroes, as well as fantastic and well-written female characters like April and the Foot's Recruit who can hold their own in a fight.

The animation is gorgeous and gives off the same vibe as Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, but 2D instead of 3D.

The writing is amazing since the writers know how to mix a fresh take on a classic story, with funny moments as well as heartfelt family moments.

The characters all have a new refreshing take on them, and we really get to see new types of dynamics amongst old characters we know and love. The boys are all intense and vocal about their love for each other, and April is treated as one of the family. It's very sweet and heartwarming.

I get that it might not be your cup of tea, and that's ok, but please give it a chance.

Just some Angel Dust dressed as Marilyn Monroe, and I honestly I just wished more people would have Angel Dust in Drag.

Ok so if Big mama can make herself look like this: 

and Sunita can blend in at Aprils’s school flawlessly l doesn’t that mean the boys can do it too? 

 This something that’s been on my mind for a while but I just got around to piecing it together. It came to me after re-watching Mystic Library and Operation Normal.  Either their magical abilities either came from something in Drazum’s ooze or from Master Splinter’s DNA. Because I’m calling it now that the sword Lou Jitsu’s ancestor used was magical, with the purpose of destroying the dark armor but that’s beside the point. 

I mean it’s one thing to possess mystical weapons that were probably already enchanted but it’s another to draw a rune, push your magical energy into it to activate said rune and it successfully work on the first try. Raph does all this when releasing Mayhem from the mirror. 

And if the boys can do that, they can definitely pull off the human ”cloak” Sunita, Big mama and even the old lady they followed to Senor Queso’s Pizzeria did. looking back even Draxum’s goons from the first episode could do it too. This means the boys won’t have to face the choice of making the selves human with reverse mutagen/ooze or deciding to stay mutants because they can literally just be both, but I’ll speak on that later.
