“Though taller than Raphael, its muscular in its own sense and outlined by spiked metal armor, a cloak trailing after him as he stepped into sight. Long red hair enveloping his shoulders along with two little gargoyles giggling maliciously. His armor as black as the void of darkness and his head framed by a four horned helmet.”
Draxum in this story is a special sort of feral and I adore it! Wanted to get some visual rep for his new armor/crown down on paper so I’m happy with this!
the chances of draxum actually ever trying to be comforting are slimmer than his little goat ankles but it’s fun to imagine what he would be like if he tried
Ok So these episodes we hype, insane and completely chaotic.
So in these episodes we have. The boys’s dynamnic is absolutely amazing! There are some adorable moment between them.
Sloppy Joseph: I think helps Draxum in the cafiteria. In his cool 90s get up so yay.
Frank: I like him and his dork squad (Konmodo Dragrons) as well. He is so strange and kinda creepy but also really nice.
Leo: Houdini huh, that explians where Leo get some of his tricks from and partically explains Leo’s mad skills. Also Leo with Houdini Journals “I don’t want to read them I just want to keep them and snuggle them a little bit.” This dork. Leo competes with Donnie for a little bit of glory, Also leo “For Donnie’s Honor.” Lol. In last part of Battle Nexus, we see Leo shielding Mikey while Raph shields Donnie. Later we see him using Mikey as a weapon againts Shredder.
Donnie: His weakness is music. If the grove is funky he has to move lol. When the entire New york city disappears it might be Donnie’s fault. Also Donnie records everything. He now has mind control audio that he can use..
Mikey: The reason why he can lift heavey objects like a cargo tanker might actually be because of his mystic weapon ability in stead of his strength. I notice that the string on his Kusari Fundo becomes a chain when he uses it on heavier objects. That makes sense.
Raph: His hibernating attack move is cool. The turtles combination attack was cooler.
Splinter: Was amazing!
Foot Recuit: uses April’s bat for a brief second in the fight against Shadow Fiend (Shredder). Then later after she discovers it is Shreader her reaction is terrifying. I wonder what will happen next. Will she be the next Ultimate Villain?
Draxum: Chibi Draxum is amazing!
Villians: I like how it seemed that they will be redeem in the Battle Nexus episode, but then they decide to book it in the final show down. I like this for two reason. 1. They are villains who might stay as villians in this series. 2. They don’t want anything do with the weird chaos Big Mama has orchestrated.
Finally “Its the speaker! Kill it!” This line was hilarious to me.
These episodes are awesome! We got to learn more about the mystic city and this cool almost 1 hour special wear we see each of the turtles adventures overlap with one another.
Raph: I am so happy that Rise took the direction they took with him. He has gotten better at leading the team as the show has gone on it seems. I also find his adventure particular fun and cool because of his dynamic with the Mud Dogs. His plans to get them captured were good but fate was not on his side. I kinda wish Heinous Green had a speaking role but oh well. One last thing, Raph thought going on a police tour was cool becuase he is everyone’s friendly neighborhool R.A.P.H. So if he could Raph would grow up and become a police chief, maybe?
Leo: he just wants to relax and have a good time for once. His episode was adorable. I absolutely love the fact that Leo asked imaginary Raph what to do, when he ran out of ideas. Imaginary Raph also gave him a good idea too, but again fate was not on his side. Also Leo when he sees Splinter trying to wake him up, just decides to speed through that part, like it was nothing important (though I get why they had him do that.)
Donnie: The dramatic disaster, oh Donnie you got to learn how to deal with your feelings. But I’m glad he got some development in his episode. It’s not surprising that he would be annoyed with his brothers and their magical weapons, but I didn’t think he felt insecure about it in any way.
April:The more I get to know April the more I like her character. She has her magic bat which is cool.
Mikey: He’s still perfect. The fact that he manages to convince Draxum to come along with him to the magic city dressed up as a stuff bear says a lot.
Draxum: Seems to have developed a soft spot for Mikey.
Mud Dogs: I hope we see them along with Digg in another episode.
Is the recruit now April’s arch rival? And she actually wants to rule the world herself? Interesting, I want to know more about her character, and if she becomes a main villain at some point that woud be awesome. I would love to see her and her girl scouts as the main bad guy in Rise in the future, if that happens.
Luo Jistus is inspiring heroes and villains alike.
I really like the little girl bad guy in this episode. She’s kind one of those classic bossy little girl villianess but she accepts compliments from anyone, she is not bratty she just spontaneous due to the Foot Recuit’s influnce, she takes the time to correct her teammate on the correct pronunciation of duct, she has ninja training, and she is so lively. I would watch a whole series with her as the lead villain.
Mystery Meat
It was a very fun episode. I enjoyed Draxum’s silliness the most, and what’s cool is that seeing this side of Draxum is not a surprise, we have tibits of this side of him in the past (like in the first ep, or in the gargoyles ep), so I like how rise handles their characters.
So soppy Joseph will make a return. I like how they dressed him in cool 90s clothing during this episode that really takes me back. It would be cool if he shows up in those clothes again.
We were robbed of a Baron 80’s makeover montage and someone needed to fix that
reblogging this because last nights finale was ✨ spectacular ✨ i wish we could’ve squeezed out one more season but alas. Watch out for the NETFLIX movie NEXT YEAR!!!
So if I understand correctly, Baron Draxum used Lou Jitsu’s DNA to mutate the turtles into humanoids? Does that mean that Splinter is biologically their dad, and they’re all sort of biologically half-brothers?
