Things I Enjoyed about the Future Arc
***spoilers below***
- Donatello and Raphael have some really good interactions
- The drag race beatdown explosion fest complete with on-screen death was loads of fun
- Though the designs of the other three brothers are offputting (hair and fingernails were NOT a good idea) Robo-Donnie is honestly one of the coolest designs to appear on the show
- Donatello in general was a beautiful ball of sass and I love him
- The vehicle designs/weapon designs were cool
- Mira, for her brief appearance, was great character. I expected to find her annoying but instead I kind of wish she had been in other episodes
- RAPHAEL IS SUCH A DAD ONCE HE GETS ATTACHED
- Michelangelo’s history as a mystic who discovered the oasis before going completely nuts is kinda cool
- Mike as the official caretaker of Chompy and Icecream Kitty (fun fact: he does a wonderful job)
- “Hey Chompy look! It’s your dad Raph!”
- Icecream Kitty is a confirmed immortal who spends most of this episode manning a machine gun
- Michelangelo riding Chompy into battle
- The gladiator scene
- Leonardo’s reveal legitimately took me off guard... also he’s got the coolest vehicle I’ve ever seen. Casey would probably cry if he saw it
- Speaking of Casey, you know getting his skull turned into a self destruct button for an enormous bomb that goes off while Raphael says his catchphrase in a dramatic fashion was exactly what Casey Jones’s would have wanted
- The Leo group hug
- The fact that it ended on a somewhat uplifting note with all the brothers united and hope for the planet renewed
- THE FINAL HEARTBREAKING FIFTEEN SECONDS
