TMNT 2012 Karai vs. Cheshire. Who Would Win?

This battle is based on Kelly Hu who voices both of them. This is tough because I haven’t seen both of them fight as much to confirm.

Karai has been trained by the Shredder, one of two most strongest fighters, as long as Cheshire has been. She is also a snake mutant and can administer a deadly poison when she bites her victims. The poison has no medicinal cure.

Cheshire is from Young Justice and is considered one of the most deadliest assassins in the DC Universe.

Both of them had the same amount of training and have kid of the same fighting style. Funny enough, Cheshire fights with sais like Raph. 😂

Thoughts? 😊❤️

Favorite ROTTMNT Villain?

When it comes to the villains in Rise, my like/dislike ratio is kind of 50/50.

Draxum and Big Mama are great villains, but the other ones like Warren Stone and those crab brothers are not good.

I know that Draxum is not a villain anymore, but he was one for the majority of the show. So, I count him.

If you like or dislike any of the villains I mentioned, that’s cool. Like any character you like.

Draxum's design is so good and I so far really like how the creators' are writing him.

There is finally a main female villain in the TMNT universe! She's so conniving and pretty badass. I mostly enjoy villains who use their brains more rather than fight. But I don't mind intelligent, manipulative villains being crazy strong.

This Shredder is pretty scary. He's insane and has lost all sense of humanity. He took a step further more than 2012 Shredder since he succeeded in killing his own daughter.

I just realized that if written well, Renet and Donnie would be a great couple. Nothing much would have to change about Renet. She can still be a clumsy and nice girl but with a love for science, especially time travel, and Donnie would be so curious and ask her questions about how time travel works and check if his theories were accurate. Renet could also ask about his results on mutant science since it’s not as well documented as other sciences like biology or chemistry. Basically Nerdy Friends to Lovers

I think that would be really cute! 😁

April O’Neil(2012) Character Analysis

So, this version of April is pretty controversial, especially beyond this community. Many fans accuse her of being a toxic, manipulative women. Even some fans would use derogatory words. For me, she is not so bad. Not my favorite, but pretty okay.

I’m not trying to convince others to change their minds. I respect everyone’s opinions because everyone matters is many ways. All I want to do is explain how I see April and get some of you guys’ opinions.

Hope you enjoy this analysis! And comment down below if you would like me to analyze another character.

Anyway, here we go.

The Main Issues

Season 2:

This season was where it all began with April hate train.

I think almost everyone can agree that April wasn’t so bad in season one, maybe even likable. At least, I did.

But all that potential love went down the drain once season two started.

The first episode, called “The Mutation Situation,” takes place a few months after they defeat the Kraang and the Shredder disappeared. Everything seemed fine since April’s dad was back and the city hadn’t been attacked. But, the Turtles once again have to face the Kraang and stop them from transporting their mutagen supply. They asked for April and her dad’s help to find the ship, though she had to trick him into doing it. The four brothers destroyed the ship, but they paid the price because all of the mutagen in the ship fell off, scattered across the city. One of the vials was going to drop on April, except her father took the hit and mutated into a human-sized bat.

Kirby kidnaps April and the guys have to save her. Once they did, Michelangelo reveals that him and his brother’s were indirectly responsible for the incident.

April gets so mad and storms off, wishing to never see them again.

Okay, so from my perspective, I understand why April broke down and said those hurtful things the first time. She went through a lot during the first season. With her dad being held captive for so long, getting kidnapped and probed by the Kraang, and being forced to relinquish most of her old life.

I’m surprised she isn’t even a bit traumatized.

When April believed the Kraang were defeated and her dad was safe, she was happy to have her life back in some kind of order. Yet, in basically a day, that whole dream died right in front of her. She was tired of all the fighting, and lost it when she realized she would have to again. In her irrational, emotional mind, I think she was angry at the turtles for more than just accidentally mutating her dad. She associated them as the start to all the craziness she didn’t want.

After everything she went through, April was desperate to have some clarity that she was willing to throw away her close friends.

I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have apologized. April needed to apologize.

What I didn’t condone from this arc was her yelling at Donnie in “Target: April O’Neil.” She went a bit off line and at least should’ve had some sense in what she was saying. Maybe Donnie practically stalking got her upset, but I get why people would get upset with her over that.

 The Love Triangle:

This love triangle was the worst written plot point in this show. I still love the show, but god this needed so much work.

I believe there were some Apritello shippers around season one. I kind of shipped them.

This ship was ruined once season two came around with that April arc and introducing Casey.

I love Casey, but he was mostly used as a plot device for the love triangle. He had so much more potential than what he got.

Based on the comments about the triangle, most people have an issue with their belief that April was manipulating the guys and how unclear the status of either Apritello or Capril.

I just got to say that poor April was dragged through the mud because of the writer’s mistakes. They confused the h*ll out of us, or at least me, with all the will they, won’t they switcheroo. It was hard to tell if April liked Donnie, Casey, both, or none of them. I think the main goal with this triangle was the writers indecision to either follow the 2003 version’s lead with Capril or go their own path with Apritello. If they had decided, this plot point would have been so much better.

To be honest, I think the writers stopped April from making a decision to make the show “interesting. ”In season 3, it seemed like April wanted to be with Donnie. Casey and her were also acting more like friends instead of love interests. Yet, in the first episode of season 4, they had to make him get love struck over her new outfit.

Ughh... the writers confused me too much.

I think it didn’t come to fans’ minds that maybe April was confused with her feelings. Maybe she liked both guys and didn’t reject both of them outright because of her need to clear her head. Sure, it was a bad idea to be honest with them, but people make mistakes.

 “The Power Inside Her”:

People are a bit harsh towards April in this episode. I totally get how they feel, though their hate for her could have clouded their judgment.

The biggest complaint I have seen about this episode is the fans being angry with April for not breaking from the alien’s control. Compared to the aeon, Za-Naron, April is a not that experience with her mental powers. Communicating or using their mental powers is normal for the Aeons, while April figured out how to use them a few months or a year ago. As she kept the crystal, Za-Naron control over her grew stronger. I think that if any other character like Leo or Donnie, fans would be more lenient since their writing was way better.

Of course, April needed to apologize for temporary killing Donnie, and hurting her friends; good thing she did. I don’t hold it against her as much as other fans.

 Conclusion:

After finishing the analysis, I concluded that April is a victim of bad writing instead of a terrible character. I know there’s an argument that the writing doesn’t really play a part with liking or disliking a character, but it does. Writers decide every character’s actions and create the person they’ll become. Reducing April to a plot device for romance was terrible. Not seeing April’s potential was one of the greatest disappointments in TMNT 2012.

If you still don’t like April, that’s fine. I’m not trying to change your mind. All I want is to open their perspectives and see that all the hate April gets can be explained.

Hope you enjoyed this analysis. Comment down below your thoughts.

From Most to Least Favorite, How Would You Rank the Fearsome 5 Members?

*Note: Just because a member is lower than the others doesn't mean I dislike them. I love all of them.*

1. Negaduck

I love Negaduck! He's fun to watch and both of his origins are great! You sometimes gotta love a villain who just does it have fun.

2. Megavolt

Megavolt always makes me laugh and was my favorite villain until Negaduck showed up. His voice is also really unique and enjoyable to hear.

3. Quackerjack

QJ reminds me of Harley Quinn-one of my favorite DC characters. I enjoy playful villains who doesn't take things seriously. QJ almost got the second spot, but Sparky has a little more space in my heart.

4. Bushroot

I really like Bushroot and feel bad for putting him this low, but he's not as interesting to me as the others higher than him. He is very cute and I wished he had at least a redemption arc in the show or comics.

5. Liquidator

Poor Liquidator. He kind of got the short end of the stick when it comes to appearances. His origin story is unique, though, other than that, he's pretty bland. I remember reading that Tad Stones, the creator, didn't like Liquidator and decided to not give him as much episodes focused on him as the other members.

Hi, I’ve been creating characters for some stories and some of them are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I need some help properly representing them, especially gender identities. I’m not very familiar with gender identities, except the names and basic concepts. But I want to learn and make sure I’m writing my LGBTQ+ characters with care and proper representation.

Here are the specific characters:

-A trans man

-A trans woman

-A genderfluid person

-A non-binary person

Thank you to anyone who responds and likes!

To my non-artists Rise fans, have you ever felt so annoyed that you couldn’t draw what you envision in your mind? 

I’m feeling it right now. I want to draw my Rise versions of TMNT characters like Usagi, Mona Lisa, and Leatherhead so badly but I can’t draw to save my life- let alone in Rise style. 

Also, I have this fun weapon idea for Future April where she has two titanium bats for close range fighting and they transform into guns- one is a shot gun and the other is a sniper. The grip of the bat would bend for the bullet chambers and the knob would have the trigger. The other end of the bat would open for the bullets to fire. There would also be a slit where the scope would pop out.

Of course, Donnie built it for her.

(I’m just so bummed that I can’t draw and too poor to ask for a commission to be.

Ducktales Incorrect Quotes #2 w/ ‘17 Louie & Dickie(oc)

Dickie and Louie are looking through postcards and pictures Goldie sent from one of her adventures in South America. One photo is of Goldie riding a mule.

Dickie: Can you imagine my grandma on a mule?

Louie: No.

Dickie: It’s like Scrooge at the beach.

Gwendolyn Kent: SB & MM Kid

Gwen is pretty shy and kind to others, especially her family and close friends. Her dream is to be an actress who inspires people to be themselves and treat others with kindness. Another reason why she enjoys acting is because she has fun playing different characters.

When Gwen takes on her alter ego, she changes her skin color to green since she prefers the world not to know her true appearance. Gwen’s skin is very pale, nearly white.

Even though she dreams to be an actress and is a part-time hero, Gwen wants to live as normal of a life as she can. Her fellow classmates don’t see her as famous since she changes her appearance and name.

Like her father, she is a dog lover. She was able to convince her parents to adopt two dogs named Carla and Gino.

Gwen wishes to be accepted by others, but is not willing to change who she is for others. She rarely gets angry, but when she does, her super strength uncontrollably flares up.

Even though they are opposites, Gwen and Astrid are best friends. They can always count on each other and have each other’s back. When they are in battle, their team ups are consistent and strong.

Thank you for reading! 😊❤️

Hi everyone! I decided to make my own oc and share it here. Her name is Beatriz Milagros. She’s a short spitfire who has a temper if someone messes with her or the people she cares about. Her favorite hobbies are dancing, eating(especially Julieta’s arepas), playing with her sister, and gazing at the stars. She longs to travel outside the Encanto and see the world. Ten year old her had a small crush on teenage Bruno that never seemed to go away. She’s one of the few friends Bruno had and never saw him and his visions as bad.

(I know I’m not the best artist but I did my best lol 😂)

Anyway, I hope you like Beatriz’s looks! 😁
