Craptabulous - 2013-01-16
I've watched this extensively. It's on netflix, and being a big fan of the animated show in my youth, I decided that now I'm a 20 something with fun new drug habits, I could possibly be a fan again. Surprise, I couldn't. This show is TRASH in the worst, most boring way, but the one thing that made it good? The dream sequences. MY GOD THEY WERE AMAZINGLY WEIRD. Master Splinter(but other characters do this too on occasion.) will meditate and enter 'The dream realm' in which he pretty much stands in front of a green screen with a super psychedelic background behind him and gives more exposition on the plot or maybe it's a plot point sequence, sometimes even including another character or even bad guy entering the dream space to talk shit/ask him for help/be a fucking useless character. That last one happens often, because the overall idea of the show seems to be "All these characters are fucking idiots."
For the last episode, the turtles are trapped in a cage or something fucking dumb like that. Venus, the female turtle, being ostracized for her gender from the other turtles, is not around when this occurs, so she obviously has to come save them, whether she knows it or not. The turtles, wallowing in their trappedness, decide to discuss her as an addition to their teenage squad of ninja-ly training. We're treated to a montage of all her bumbling fuck-ups, being captured moments, misuse of modern slang because she's 'foreign'. By the way, we know these are clearly ALL people in helmets with mechanisms for a pathetic attempt at a moving mouth, as they make very little attempt to hide it. It's SHIT, and it's a blast to watch if you're blasted out of your gourd and want something dumb to pick at with friends. And whatever happens to our turtle friends? Well, you'll just have to tune in and see!
