Great Story And Art! I Can't Wait To See Where It Goes

These lines are so yummy :3

Yaaaay, Mikey!! 🐢🍊

I had to draw him so colorful, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live this life ahaha

I think we as a society should be exploring how Leo is the most like his father out of all the boys, especially when comparing him to Lou Jitsu (even physically like he really is his kid fr)

this art inspires me to continue my own band AU...

Can you hear me? (We hear you) Can you see me? (We see you) Can you feel me? (We feel you) I don't understand you

Rammstein - "Ich Will"

So, yeah, my ideas kinda mixed together, as at the start I was mostly thinking about making Leo a rock star, but when I was listening to some music for inspiration, I got carried away with Rammstein and this particular song that I felt would represent Leo with his desire to be trusted, seen and acknowledged.

Made a small animation for tiktok

The song is "Lady Gaga - Just dance"

I had this idea ever since I watched the movie and I couldn’t get it out of my head so here you go-

April is the honorary sister and I don’t see enough of her being emotionally vulnerable with the boys. I NEED MORE APRIL APPRECIATION IN THIS FANDOM

Also something something Leo overcompensating for not listening to his team by locking his emotions away, something something, he tries his best to be a beacon of hope but he succumbs to the guilt every once in a while, something something.

Dissecting the Krang Fight

I've wanted to do this for a while but was afraid I was going to step on some toes, so I never did. Also, finding the clips I want to find is hell, so I'm not sure where to start. However, I haven't seen it done and I want to have this stashed somewhere for posterity, so I'm doing it.

Leo in Rise is a showboat. He adores showing off, peacocking, and everything else that addresses vanity to the point where it shows up in his fighting. I can think of two moments when it's at its extreme, though, and that would be in Many Unhappy Returns with the fight against the Kraken and the Evil Six.

And the fight against Shredder where he just... grabs his sword with his teeth because he freaking can.

In fact, it's only in the movie where I would say that we see Leo's true potential as a fighter and a strategist and I think I can boil it down to three moments. The one where he goes for the key and Raph has to sacrifice himself to make sure Leo gets home. The fight with Krang Raph. And the one that absolutely takes it home, the sacrifice against Krang.

Let me explain.

The first fight with Krang, he's still showing off to a certain degree. Playing distraction, trying to figure out what the Krang are capable of right up until their powers get stolen. Then, Splinter gets hurt, things turn for the worst, and Leo...

is left with no other choice but to plan on the fly.

And he does it. Blows every expectation out of the water and manages to get the Key from under Krang's nose. What did him in? He only thought of getting the Key. He didn't think beyond it. He forgot his escape plan.

The second moment would be the fight with Krang Raph.

Again, he's trying to figure things out and trying to buy time. He knows he's got to get his brother back, but he's also playing distraction. Krang's watching and that's keeping his eye off Leo's brothers.

Reason why I know this?

The third moment, the one everyone remembers.

The one where Leo puts everything on the line and is left to make a decision that he knows he has to take despite knowing what it's going to cost, and here's why.

The entire fight with Krang, that self-sacrifice, is long decided even before he stands.

Before this

Before this

Here

is when he formulates what he's got to do to save everyone. Not to win the fight, to save everyone. Why?

The fight itself lasts two moves. Two of Leo's moves, too. The portal first and then him swinging his blade off into the Prison Dimension. He did not let Krang do anything that could sabotage him. He was running on low already, he had one chance.

And he made it count. This was thought through. Leonardo Hamato knew exactly how to play his cards against Krang and got a victory out of it.

How is this insane? Because typical heroes don't do that. You know who does? Chessmasters and Villains. The ones with the grand plans that the heroes have to struggle to stop.

Leo's strength in Rise is downplayed and minimized. Why? Because if they did trust him, he would be devastating.

I finally read the entire comic and it was so worth it to understand this and many other animatics

Sometimes I think... they're all just speaking tongues...

Thank you for creating such a wonderful story that brings the fandom together!!

Kendratello my beloved, you’re so misunderstood (they’re two silly teens who rob banks, Kendra just made the mistake of stealing his tech to do that).

не могу понять нравятся они мне или нет хмхмхм…
