From Most to Least Favorite, How Would You Rank Each TMNT 2003 Seasons?

1. Season 4

Really enjoyed Leo’s arc. I love focusing on the effects the traumatic situation had on a character’s mental health. This season improved Leo greatly.

My only gripe is I wished Bishop was a major villain.

9/10

2. Season 3

I liked a lot of the episodes and it had my favorite final stories like Ultimate Draco and Exodus.

Same As It Never Was was probably my favorite episode, though I wished there was more payoff with it afterwards.

8/10

3. Season 2

S2 has my second favorite finale with the Battle Nexus, and it was an improvement of S1.

It was the season that really got me into the show.

Usagi was a great addition. He’s one of my favorite characters.

7/10

4. Season 1

I didn’t get into this season until the Shredder was a major part of it. I mostly found the introductory episodes meh but it was probably because I wasn’t used to the new iteration yet.

It’s higher since the next seasons are not as great.

6.5/10

5. Season 5

I liked the concept but the execution was not as great.

The plot felt rushed and the villain was meh because it was another Shredder. I would’ve enjoyed the story more if it was a new villain.

The other 4 acolytes didn’t serve a purpose other than the writers trying to digress how special the turtles are, which didn’t work since the turtles became the dragons like their mystical instructors.

6/10

6. Season 6

The new setting and concept barely keeps this season from last place.

It was a new fresh take, but the more childish tone ruined it for me. Total tone shift distract me most of the time.

The Dark Turtles, Cody, and Sterling were cool editions tho.

5.5/10

7. Season 7

The last season was… disappointing.

I would’ve preferred this season being about the Turtles learning how to relax after all that happened to them. Like, a moment when everything is peaceful and they are not needed to protect the city. Exploring how to move on from their sense of purpose would’ve been fun to see. It would’ve coincided well with April x Casey’s wedding since they are also move towards a different path.

4.5/10

2003 Shredder Rant

Am I the only one who was annoyed the writers kept “tricking” the audience into thinking Shredder was dead?

It was so annoying. I was fine with it the first time since one fake death usually happens in shows. But doing this over 4 times is excessive and bland. This writing choice really made it hard for me to keep going with TMNT 2003. Killing off the Shredder wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Bringing new villains would have been fun and unique. A version of Shredder was the villain for every season except S6. There was Utrom Shredder, Karai Shredder, Demon Shredder, and Cyber Shredder.

This over reliance was the show’s crutch.

I still enjoyed watching the show tho.

The Big Bads of my TMNT au, there are more villains besides these guys though.

From left to right, top to bottom we got:

The Shredder

- Head of the foot clan

- Over 150 years old

- Angriest and most vengeful man ever

- Has weird episodes where he becomes monstrous, becoming larger and tougher to beat. They are triggered by Karai and seeing any of the living Hamato clan, however, sometimes they are random.

- Wants his daughter to be under control and is succeeding

The Foot

- The main members of Shredder’s elite foot soldiers are Usagi, Koya, Fishface, Alopex, Bebop, Rocksteady, and eventually Karai

- The foot soldiers in Japan do not know about mutants. They believe they are yokai and treat them as such.

- Usagi just wants to get back to his world and is using the foot to try and do so.

- Koya is the Shredder‘s personal messenger, she was accidentally mutated when she passed over a battle on a delivery. She is very loyal to the Shredder. I can’t draw birds.

- Fishface is just a little guy, probably involved in some crime before the shredder, idk yet but he’s got a place ;)

- Alopex was one of the first mutants to join Shredder‘s crew. She was purposefully mutated by the kraang for Big Mama but left the battle nexus as it threatened the life of her brother, Tigerclaw, who is not apart of the foot.

- Bebop and Rocksteady were part time security workers at concerts and full time dumbasses before their mutation. They are now lackies.

- Karai goes into a little more spoiler territory, BUT, she is the Shredder‘s daughter.

Big Mama

- has a deal with everyone

- Runs an illegal gambling and fighting ring called the Battle Nexus.

- A little power crazy, just a smidge

- Presents herself as delicate so that people underestimate her.

- Human (for now)

The Purple dragons

- A gang with control over parts of Queens. They have three main subsections:

- The schools, dealing with high schooler lackeys

- The tech, dealing with technological crimes and wealth gain

- And Representatives, the higher ups that runs the whole operation.

- In the drawing are the three leaders for each subsection; Jason on the right, Kendra on the left, and Hun in the middle. Hun gets a glow up at one point don’t worry

The Kraang

- A race of aliens that travel throughout the universe to conquer everything in it.

- Possession abilities

- Have cloaking broaches and exosuits

- View Earth-beings as not advanced but still need to use some of them to establish their rule

Hope you enjoy, you’ll be seeing more of them soon ;)))

SOMEONE ELSE SEES MY VISION OML

This is probably my favorite concept in the idw comics

“Mama I’m chasing a ghost.”

I made my first voice claim video

…and am debating whether to post it on TikTok or not

(Edit: idk why the quality is weird at some parts. Anyone know how to fix that?)

Another edit: sorry I forgot to mention that Jennika pose is massively inspired by one of @less-depresso-more-espresso ‘s versions of the Idw Jennika comic covers.

Favorite Turtle Merch/Toy That You Own

Kinda my only merch but still my favorite

Favorite Shredder

from hatred to hugs *me after watching his story play out*

He is the shredder that I never expected, never knew I needed, and will probably never see again but I still feel blessed to see him. Seeing a character who is iconically known to go from good to bad and not change even for the family wanted was molded into a man who went from good to bad to good because of his love for his family

some sketches of characters I want to include in my au

(I also wanna do some kind of version of big mama but idk how I'm gonna do that yet)

Are Shredder and Krang watching cat videos??
