Tmnt Leo 2018 - Tumblr Posts

sometimes i think ab rise leo and how much i love him. i just wanna put him in a blender. he’s incredible.

was rewatching rise and i noticed something that i thought was kinda interesting in the hidden city job. so yall remember this whole moment? the turtle adonis?

literally iconic. anyway.

while this episode really emphasized the super well known traits of adonis in greek mythology, such as his romanticism and beauty that leo was really wanting to portray, i also think it’s super interesting to note that adonis was originally a mortal being whose fame was gained through immortality and rebirth.

……

rise leo, in the movie, also had a chance at what could be considered a “rebirth” or renewal. pledged to die to save the world, but given a second chance by his family who refused to give up hope for him.

i’m sure that this wasn’t an intentional thing by the writers, but i do think in terms of his character it’s super interesting that out of all of the greek male gods to choose from, leo chooses to be adonis in that episode - knowing what we know as an audience of how he chooses to sacrifice himself in the movie and how he does, like adonis, gain a second chance as well. idk just something that’s been bouncing around my brain!!!
