Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie - Tumblr Posts

Guys, did you hear the news about the Rise movie?

It's been nominated for an Annie award!!! The award is for "Outstanding Achievement in Character Design in an Animated Feature Production." Even if they don't end up winning, congratulations to Ida Hem and everyone else who worked on the movie!

And...

Congratulations to our favorite turtles, April, Splinter, Casey Jr., and all the other amazing characters in the film! They may not be real, but they have had a significant impact on so many people--myself included. For that, I feel like they deserve to be acknowledged. And hey, I'd like to pretend that they'd be watching the awards ceremony from the shadows. :)

Rottmnt movie showing once again that they mastered the family aspect to a T. This is the most loving iteration of the tmnt and I will die on that hill.

I just can’t get over how much they adore each other:

How Leo apologizing and appealing to Raph’s unconditional love for his family instead of fighting him is what brought him back to his senses.

The conflict between Raph and Leo not being fueled by resentment on Ralph’s end but fear because he wants to keep his family safe.

The dynamic between April and Splinter, how flawlessly they worked together. How she was there to comfort him when they thought Leo was gone.

How everyone instantly adopted Casey. How seemlessly he fit in.

How Mikey and Raph instantly prioritized Donnie when his shell was exposed.

How it was the desire to save Leo that awakened Mikey’s mystic powers. How the brothers bond is what brought back all their mystic powers.

Raph sacrificing himself for Leo. How he did without hesitation.

Leo sacrificing himself for everyone. How he was able to smile simply because he knew they were safe.

And all the physical contact! How easily, happily and freely they all shower each other with affection.

Rottmnt is just too good. We really don’t deserve it.

So a lot of people are talking about the scene where Donnie is crying, but no one is talking about this:

And that is an absolute travesty. Because Donnie doesn't understand or process emotions the same way his brothers do. He doesn't offer comfort the same way they do either. But even though he is so clearly at a loss for what to do and how to help Raph he's still TRYING. He's still trying to be there for his brother. For as much as Donnie claims to be the emotionally distant one. It's scenes like these that make me go feral. Donnie is the kind of person to care for those close to him while telling anyone else to fuck off and this is a clear example of "I don't know how to help, but I'm here. You are not alone." And no one is really talking about it when I feel like this is just as important to Donnie and who he is as a character as the scene where he is front and center crying.

Okay this has been in my drafts for over a YEAR.

It's not finished and I have no plans to finish it BUT if anyone wants to do something with it let me know! I gotta get this out my drafts before I go insane.

Spoilers for the ROTTMNT Movie. Lol do I have to put a spoiler warning?

Ft. Kraang and Leo: Two arrogant psychopaths.

-----------------------------------------

"Don't worry, Donnie! This is not a hug! It's a rescue!"

That was the last thing Leo heard as he saw his brothers fall through the air. He only had one second to see they landed safely before his attention was back on Kraang Prime; standing just a couple feet in front of him.

"You know, we're not so different you and I."

It took Leo a second to realize that Kraang had addressed him. He figured they were going to immediately start fighting.

"Can't believe I'm saying this but...save the small talk. Let's get this over with." He said as he took a fighting stance with his swords ready.

"Trust me I plan to. But even someone as simple-minded as you could see the similarities."

Against his better judgement, Leo took the bait.

"Okay. Fine. You have 2 seconds to explain what you're talking about before I send you back to where you came from."

To Leo's surprise, Kraang's smirk that was present since they started talking only grew.

"That. Right there. The cockiness."

Leo's hands loosened on his swords just a little bit. "Cockiness...?"

Kraang looked briefly annoyed at the question. "Smug, full-of-yourself....". His smirk returned. "Acting like you're destined to win every fight you happen to end up in. Cockiness."

"I prefer confidence-"

"It's arrogance. But, as I said, we share this specific trait."

By now, Leo was hanging onto every word Kraang said. Thoughts of his brothers fell to the back of his mind ('they're safe I saw them land') and the grip on his swords was almost nonexistent. He wanted to see where Kraang was going with this.

"So we're arrogant. Your point?"

"My point is that we both. Hate. Losing. And right now it looks like you're on the losing side."

Leo said nothing. He didn't even move a muscle as Kraang started coming closer.

"Let's see if I have this correct: you're the type to ignore all sense of reason to get your way. Because you know, deep down, that you are superior to those who would think to go against you. While you have family, or should I say comrades at best, you don't hesitate to treat them like soldiers who should follow you no questions asked."

One of Leo's swords dropped to the ground. "That's not...I wouldn't..."

"What about your brother. The red one."

At the mention of Raph, Leo tightened his grip on his one remaining sword. "Leave him alone."

"When I was digging for information from his mind, I saw hundreds of arguments between the two of you. Always the same subject: you not following orders. You going off on your own. You, from my perspective, simply being a leader..."

"That was me being dumb. I was in the wrong. And taking you down is gonna prove that."

"And yet you still don't attack."

And Leo realized that, yes, Kraang was right. For the first time in Leo's life, someone had his full, undivided attention. Which is why, as Kraang began circling him, he never looked away.

"What did you feel when you managed to take the key back the first time? When I captured your brother?"

At first, Leo wanted to say "anger" or "fear". What else would he feel? His brother just got captured after taking a hit meant for him. "Guilt" was another option.

But if he said any of those, he'd be a liar.

What Leo actually felt, was something he shouldn't have. And he knew that when he felt it.

Because what he really felt, was

"Excitement."

.

Aaaaaaaand that's it!

I don't know...ummm........enjoy?

I feel like the hype is starting to die out...
