Eps. 99-100

1.) It's been done before in other sci-fi tales, but maybe we could have some fun with the Savanti Romero/prehistoric dino world adventure by establishing -- as a subplot to help expand the story to fill two episodes -- some alien presence on Earth (maybe an alien "big game hunting" expedition or wildlife excursion) which ends up taking samples of dinosaurs with them back into space... and we could hint that millions of years later, some of these dinos could have evolved into -- Triceratons!

"Peter,
Thank you very much for your notes on Ep. 101 : “Adventures in Turtle Sitting.” Were you able to look over the premise for Ep. 100 “Master Yoshi?” When you get a chance to send your notes on that – I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again Peter.

Carole"

Carole,

I did get to read the Ep. 100 premise this morning, and here are my comments on it.

1.) Re: the following:

"And, Splinter urges his sons to tell stories.

Nobody is quite sure where to start; and soon, all the other turtles “gang up” on Leonardo. “Tell us about the Ancient One, Leo.” “Tell us what you did.” “… about your training.”"

I think that this scene might allow us to do some fun stuff. Instead of the "Nobody is quite sure where to start" bit, it might be cool if we briefly show what might happen if each Turtle tried to tell a story in their individual fashion. For example, Mike might start to tell the story of how he became BattleNexus champion, and all the other guys could immediately act like they are bored to tears, faking snores, etc.. Don could tell some long, involved story about how he worked out some pet theory or created some gadget, and that actually DOES put the others to sleep. Raph could start telling a story about some wild adventure he and Casey had -- but just as he's getting into it, he notices Splinter looking at him with a raised eyebrow of disapproval, and Raph tones it down and quickly ends his story, leaving all the juicy parts unsaid.
And if we needed to, we could SUGGEST that they told longer stories just by fading in and out, without actually showing them telling the stories -- in other words, we could just show them STARTING and ENDING.

2.) Re: "Matsuda Takeshi" -- I did a quick Google search and got 584 hits for this name. Is there some particular reason this name was chosen? Should we be concerned?

3.) Re: the following:

"Tang Shen boards the plane … being watched by an angry and scarred Tak!

Tang Shen and Yoshi are reunited. And, she has brought him a present: a rat in a little cage."

I wonder a little bit about the timing of this. It seemed to me from previous episodes that Splinter knew quite a bit about the Ancient One, and perhaps even knew him personally (at least, as a normal rat). So perhaps it would be better if Tang Shen gave the rat to Yoshi while Yoshi was still a student of the Ancient One. AND... perhaps even better... what if the rat had actually once been a pet OF the Ancient One, and HE had given it to Tang Shen as a gift? This would, as I see it, accomplish three important things:

-- it would show us when and how Splinter encountered/knew the Ancient One.

-- it would make the gift of the rat a much more important/emotionally significant gesture from Tang Shen to Yoshi, as she would have cherished a gift from the Ancient One, and Yoshi would know this -- and realize what that gift from her meant.

-- it would help to answer -- or at least SUGGEST an answer -- to fans who have wondered for a long time exactly HOW a common rat could learn ninjitsu just from watching somebody practicing it in a dojo. The idea that I am suggesting is that while the rat was the pet of the Ancient One, it absorbed, or was given, some kind of special SOMETHING which raised it above the level of a mere rat... and prepared it for its future evolution/mutation into Master Splinter.

4.) This looks like it could be a very cool episode and a fine and fitting 100th show!

-- Pete

Subj: comments on Ep. 100 ("Tales of Master Yoshi") outline
Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:04:31 PM
From: Peter Laird
To: Lloyd Goldfine

Lloyd,

Here are my comments on the Ep. 100 outline.

1.) ReL the following:

"The camera PANS swiftly away from the legs/feet and down the alley that the feet were just walking past and zooms in towards a kung-fu battle in progress: a Ninja Guardian solo against five Foot Ninja. The Guardian is getting his ass kicked.

MICHELANGELO (V.O.): “…they came across our old friends, The Foot, doing some nasty stomping.”

SFX (assorted fighting): “Hai!” “Oof!” etc.

TIGHT as one of the Guardian’s arms is chopped off by a Foot katana blade! (No blood, though.) And with this little victory the five Foot get emboldened and thus move in for the kill."

Just for clarity -- the Guardians were/are HUMANS, not Utroms -- so, as we know from later on in this episode that this guy who gets his arm chopped off is actually the Utrom Mr. Mortu in an exoskeleton/disguise, maybe he should not be referred to as a "Guardian" here... or even LOOK like a guardian, just to avoid confusion.

2.) Re: the following:

"The man with the sunglasses picks up his arm and plans to reattach it. You see, this is Mr. Mortu. He reveals himself in his exo-suit to Yoshi and Mash asking if they would consider joining as Guardians. He has been watching their progress for some time. This must be fate that they would save his life in this manner."

Is it perhaps a bit too much that Mortu has "been watching their progress for some time"?
Also, maybe this reveal that Mr. Mortu does should happen in another, less public location -- perhaps he could gesture for them to follow him and he leads them to a secret "safe house" where he could reveal his alien nature. This might also be an excellent place to do a subtle little thing with how Yoshi and Mash react to the reveal -- i.e. both accept it, but Mash is just a LITTLE more freaked out/repelled by the alien Utrom.

3.) Re: the following:

"Back home, the two tell the Ancient One about the Guardian’s offer but the Ancient One is dead set against it."

This raises an interesting question: What, if anything, does the Ancient One know about the Utroms, and vice versa?

4.) Re: the following:

"And so Mash and Yoshi join the Guardians. Taken to the Tokyo headquarters of the Utroms, Yoshi quickly rises in the ranks for his strong sense of honor and great abilities. Mash’s jealousy grows; this jealousy is much less hidden than is what in its earlier manifestations/scenes."

I think this could be a great opportunity to show some scenes of the Guardians training with the Utroms and actually handling them -- i.e., as some of the Guardians did in the end of the "Secret Origins" story last season, carrying them to safety. This could be another way to show Yoshi's superior relationship with the Utroms and contrast it to Mash's slight -- but noticeable -- squeamishness.
And if we could get in here a training scene which involves water, that would be cool -- I see the Utroms as great swimmers (almost like l'il jellyfish), as I have shown in some of the Vol. 4 TMNT comics.

5.) Re: the following:

"The Shredder is held off long enough for the Utroms and the remaining Guardians to evacuate what they need from the building. Yoshi is the last man on the transport (helicopter … i.e. last helicopter leaving the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, 1975).

The Utroms relocate their main headquarters to their secret satellite in New York, the TCRI building. This now becomes their main hub. Yoshi rebuilds the Guardians (hiring/training the Guardians the turtles met in earlier episodes)."

I wonder if it might be cool if we do a kind of trick here, by having this last helicopter appear to explode and take all the surviving Utroms and Guardians with it, so that the Shredder would be less likely to want to track them down (and thus possibly discover their NYC HQ earlier than we would like). It could be something as relatively simple as having the Utroms and Guardians bail out of the helicopter as it goes behind a building (out of the Shredder's field of view).

6.) Re: the following:

"Life is beautiful. Life is wonderful. Yoshi loves his pet rat and his pet rat loves him (perhaps because it is no longer being treated like a little baby… as it now trains in ninjitsu with Yoshi). Tang Shen and Yoshi are very much in love (as we see in a beautiful, wonderful, very-much-in-love montage) … and at one point being watched by an angry Mash (at the end of the montage?)!"

Are we going to say anything about WHY and HOW Mash is in NYC and looking for Yoshi? Is Mash still hooked up with the Shredder, or is this something he's doing on his own?

7.) Re: the following:

"The Ancient One is clearly unhappy … but he bows (and, yes, farts*) as we fade away …"

I think we might want to lose this particular fart.

-- Pete

Subj: comments on Ep. 98 ("Return of Savanti Romero Part 1") first draft
Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:35:44 PM
From: Peter Laird
To: Lloyd Goldfine

Lloyd,

Here are my comments on the Ep. 98 first draft script.

1.) Re: the following:

"ON MIKEY and RAPH, smiling.
MICHELANGELO
Look, there’s a nerd-o-saur!
RAPHAEL
And I see a Geek-a-saurus Rex!
WIDE – April glares at the two of them, arms crossed.
APRIL
Oh, and you two are so super cool, with your comic books and fear of bugs.
BACK ON MIKEY and RAPH, no longer smiling.
APRIL (CONT’D)
Yeah, that’s what I thought."

I would take all of April's lines here out, not least because she's implying that comic books aren't cool! WHAT???!!! In all seriousness, her lines are superfluous -- I don't think Don needs her defending him here.

2.) Re: the following:

"SAVANTI ROMERO
And I am… but my magic is still strong. Even across the curve of time, I can find you… and send you this message of your impending, inevitable DOOM!
ANGLE ON MIKEY, who turns to Don, then back to Savanti.
MICHELANGELO
Thanks?"

Mike's line is weak, unnecessary and not terribly funny -- I'd lose it.

3.) Re: the following:

"SAVANTI ROMERO
(laughing)
Should you wish to try and stop me, I’ll be waiting in the Ring of Fire…
WIDE - Raph LEAPS, sai out. But just as he’s about to connect with the skull, it falls apart. Raph passes right through landing on the other side as the bones fall to the floor."

Two things: First, it should be "try TO stop me", not "try AND stop me". Second, I think it would be cool if the phrase "Ring of Fire" echoes/fades as Savanti's spell dissipates.

4.) Re: the following:

"DONATELLO
This is incredible!! Look at it all… look… there’s a brontosaurus! A real, living brontosaurus!!"

Should Don instead use what I think is the current "correct" name for this dinosaur, which I believe is "Apatosaurus"?

5.) Re: the following:

"ON LEO, looking around as well.
LEONARDO
I know it’s not the city… but it’s REALLY quiet. Everyone on your toes."

I don't get this first line from Leo -- the two halves don't seem to connect. I think we could safely lose it or both lines.

6.) Re: the following:

"DONATELLO
The deinonychus is one of the smartest of the dinosaurs… they’re fast, with powerful jaws… and they have a retractable sickle claw on their feet you have to watch for."

I don't think the claw in question is actually "retractable". Maybe a better way to put this would be as follows:

"DONATELLO
The deinonychus is one of the smartest of the dinosaurs… they’re fast, with powerful jaws… and they have a razor-sharp sickle claw on each foot."

Subj: notes on Ep. 100 first draft
Date: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 4:48:21 PM
From: Peter Laird
To: Lloyd Goldfine

Lloyd,

Here are my notes on the Ep. 100 first draft.

1.) Re: the following:

"SPLINTER (V.O. NARRATION)
That night was the first time I saw Utroms... and the first time I became aware of the Foot..."

I wonder if we are opening up a can of worms by having Splinter being aware of Utroms BEFORE the events of the first and second seasons. For some reason, this seems wrong to me -- it feels like it contradicts the continuity we've established. Maybe I'm wrong. In any event, perhaps we should do something to indicate that while Splinter DID see the Utroms back then, what he saw didn't mean anything to him (he was just a rat, after all) and he either forgot it or it never stayed long in his little rat brain.

2.) Re: the following:

"SPLINTER
Sashimi and sushi. Fresh from the se-, er, sea."

The "fresh from the sewer" gag doesn't really work for Splinter. Actually, it's kind of weird -- is he actually suggesting that he caught this fish in the SEWERS? I think the lines are superfluous and we can avoid this problem by just taking them out.

3.) Re: the following:

"MICHELANGELO
I do! I have a great story! Did I ever tell you guys about the time I became the BattleNexus™ champion?!
WIDER to show Raphael bopping Michelangelo over the head with a chopstick.
MICHELANGELO
Ow!
RAPHAEL
You maroon – we were there, of course we know the story!"

I think Raph's line could be more effective/funnier if it reflected the real reason why he's irritated that Mikey wants to tell that story -- not that he and the other Turtles were "there", but that Mikey has told that story SOOOO many times!

4.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO
Well... I’d rather not. It’s kind of personal. (Beat.) But... but the Ancient One did tell me an intense story about Master Splinter’s master, Hamato Yoshi."

I question the appropriateness of the word "intense" here -- it feels like it's telegraphing too much. Maybe "great" or "wonderful" would be better. Or maybe no modifier word is necessary -- after all, ANY story about Hamato Yoshi would be interesting to the other Turtles.

5.) Re: the following:

"The camera PANS swiftly away from the legs/feet and down the alley that the feet were just walking past and zooms in towards a kung-fu battle in progress: a NINJA GUARDIAN (MORTU) solo against six FOOT NINJA. The Guardian is getting his ass kicked."

I think I raised this question at the outline stage -- my understanding is that the Guardians were always all HUMANS, and while the Utrom Mr. Mortu has a human disguise, he is NOT a Guardian. In any event, it seems that for this scene it isn't necessary at all that the person Yoshi and Mash see being assaulted be a Guardian.

6.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
At long last came graduation day. Sort of. For when it comes to joining the ranks of the Guardians one either passes... or fails. You either make it or you don’t.
CUT to Mortu (now we can hear him clearly) and ZOOM in on him as he makes his announcement.
MORTU
...a group of most distinguished skill. Amongst this class, though, only one of you has shown the skills and abilities, the honor and altruism, worthy of joining the Guardians. Only one of you...
CUT to the trainees. Yoshi is surprised but pleased, the other trainees congratulatory, smiling, slapping his back, but not Mash... Mash just glowers at the news.
MORTU (O.C.)
...Hamato Yoshi!"

This raises an interesting question. How do the Utroms deal with any disgruntled failures among these would-be Guardians? After all, they have revealed their alien nature to all of these Guardian candidates, which would seem to leave them very vulnerable to exposure.

7.) Re: the following:

"THE ANCIENT ONE
Feh! Nothing good ever comes from love."

What a truly bizarre and unpleasant sentiment coming from the Ancient One! I thought he was wise.

8.) I'm pretty disappointed in the last half of this script, nearly everything from Shen's death on. Is it really necessary to have her dead body being carried around for a bunch of pages? And the connection between the Shredder and Mash seems very rushed, without any real setup. I also find it difficult to believe that Yoshi, for all his skill, can go up against the Shredder and kick his ass in the way he does here. And that fight with the Shredder seems kind of pointless, as the REAL deal here is Yoshi settling accounts with his ex-pal Mash. The way the Shredder is treated here makes him seem just like some other cannon-fodder villain.
I think this last half needs to be radically re-thought and restructured to make it more emotional and flow more logically. One thing I think would be a good idea would be to have Yoshi actually SEE what happens to Shen, instead of having it happen somewhere off screen, out of his sight. The way it is now just seems so unsatisfying and unconnected. And more -- a lot more, in my opinion -- needs to be done to show how Mash is connected to the Shredder, to show his gradual drifting away from the Guardians and Yoshi and toward the dark side.
There's also a problem with so clearly showing that Mash is not Yoshi's equal in the martial arts -- it sets up any battle between them being pretty one-sided (Yoshi will obviously kick Mash's ass). I think that Mash's failure to become a Guardian should not be the result of him being a lesser fighter per se, but more because of a failure of spirit... the same failure of spirit which allows him to be drawn to the "dark side".

Subj: comments on Ep. 100 ("Tale of Master Yoshi") second draft
Date: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 7:06:50 PM
From: Peter Laird
To: Lloyd Goldfine

Lloyd,

Here are my comments on the Ep. 100 second draft.

Much improved!

1.) Re: the following:

"DONATELLO
Yeah, Leo, let’s hear about the Ancient One...!"

Don says "Yes", not "Yeah". But "Yes" would sound a little odd here, so why don't we keep this line as is and combine it with Raph's next line ("I want to learn about all the new ways you learned to kick butt") and make it all Raph dialogue.

2.) It's cute how Yoshi and Mash meet the Ancient One, but a little sketchy in the way the Ancient One decides to invite them to become his students of ninjitsu just because Yoshi returned a five yen note to the Ancient One. I wonder if it might be fun to stretch this scene out just a bit to include some display of physical prowess (flexibility, speed, agility, whatever) in addition to honesty on the part of Yoshi.
I think we also miss an opportunity here to foreshadow Mash's second string status. After all, it's Yoshi who returns the money. Mash is just there. Perhaps we could do something like this: The Ancient One looks at the slightly ragged Yoshi and says something to the effect that it looks like Yoshi could use a job/money. He tells Yoshi to follow him. Yoshi starts to, remembers Mash, asks the Ancient One if his friend can have a job too. The Ancient One pauses, looks at Mash, shrugs in agreement.

3.) Re: the following:

"CUT forward in time to show the two boys, now about age 16, hunkered up close to a black and white tv with the Ancient One, watching the first astronaut step out on the moon (1969). The boys are quite excited, the Ancient One not so impressed.
YUKIO MASIMI
Wow, Yoshi, a man walking on the moon!
HAMATO YOSHI
Outer space... it is so fascinating.
THE ANCIENT ONE
Feh. "

It occurred to me that it might be fun to have the Ancient One say something to indicate that he thinks the moon landing isn't real (whether he REALLY thinks this, or is just saying it to hold up his "old curmudgeon" image for the boys, is not clear). It could be as simple as changing the last line as follows:

"THE ANCIENT ONE
Feh. Special effects."

4.) Re: the following:

"THE ANCIENT ONE
Good, you talk too much as it is. Lunar eclipse much better enjoyed in silence. "

There's nothing wrong with this line. However, it occurred to me that it might be cooler if, instead of "lunar eclipse", the Ancient One uses some kind of more poetic/traditional description of the phenomena -- something like "dragon swallowing moon". I have no idea if there is such a term in Japanese mythology/astronomy, but if so, it could be fun.

5.) Re: the following:

"Mortu has an arm cut off by the (last) katana-wielding Foot Ninja.

MORTU
My arm!"

I don't think Mortu needs to say anything here.

6.) Re: the following:

"WIDER to show Mash and Yoshi standing and facing the Mortu, unconscious Foot Soldiers strewn here and there. Mortu stoops and picks up his severed arm and begins reattaching it (it is now more obviously not flesh and blood but robotic).

MORTU
Nothing that can’t be fixed."

Because Mortu's arm has been SLICED off by a katana, it is unlikely that he could simply reattach it (as if some screws had come loose and it had fallen off). Yes, it can be fixed, as he says, but it will require significantly more effort that simply screwing or snapping it back together. I would prefer that when he says this line, instead of trying to reattach it, he simply examines the cut end of it, then tucks the severed arm under his other arm.

7.) Re: the following:

"YOSHI
By the stars above...!
TIGHT on Mortu.
MORTU
Indeed... perhaps it is by the stars above. Yes, it must be... it must be destiny that you two have saved my life tonight... destiny that has brought us together...
WIDER to show Mortu putting one hand on each of (one of their) shoulders.
MORTU
And destiny that you join... the Guardians. "

What is it that Mortu is smoking? He's babbling. That's a lot to be read into a chance encounter. I would like to suggest an alternative close to this scene: Yoshi and Mash react in astonishment to Mortu's robot-like anatomy. Just then, four (maybe fewer?) Guardians arrive, prepared to attack Yoshi and Mash. Mortu stops them, telling the Guardians that these boys saved him from the Foot attack.. The Guardians apologize to Mortu for being late to the battle (they were assigned to protect him, but were delayed for some reason which we probably don't need to get into here). One of the Guardians realizes -- and points out -- that Yoshi and Mash have seen part of his true nature. What to do? Mortu says something to the effect that they can leave, and the two boys will be left with a small mystery and their normal lives... OR... the boys can enter the world of the Guardians and the service of the Utroms, and learn the whole story. It's their choice.

8.) Re: the following:

"Walking barefoot across a bed of red-hot coals but not feeling any pain."

I'd prefer to take this one out. It's been pretty well conclusively proven that the classic "firewalking" stunt, which is supposed to show evidence of some incredible psychic power/mind over matter ability, is actually feasible because of the insulating/heat conducting qualities of ash (or something like that -- I've read about it in a number of places). So to avoid any kind of cheesy phony mind power stuff, let's replace this with something else or just take it out.

9.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
As a result Yoshi was promoted time and time again, right up to the top rank of Guardian Commander... while Mashimi was passed over... time and time again."

Can we think up a different term than "Guardian Commander"? Nothing wrong with it per se, just thought something cooler and less military might be better. Maybe "Guardian Prime" or something like that.

10.) Re: the following:

"MASHIMI
You dare ask why, Yoshi? Isn’t it obvious? You have taken everything from me... beaten me at everything! But with this betrayal..."

Because the best bad guys never really think of themselves as "bad", I question Mash describing his own actions as a "betrayal". I think he would use some other more neutral or even positive word.

11.) Re: the following:

"TIGHT on Yoshi, holding up and looking at Tang Shen’s purple chopsticks, a silent tear running down a cheek while his face is filled with silent fury."

I think it might be a good idea here to do a quick dissolve to an image of Tang Shen showing her wearing the purple chopsticks... just to reinforce the connection for the viewer. It would only take a second or two.

12.) I still think we need more foreshadowing of Mash's drift to the side of evil, i.e. the Foot and the Shredder. Perhaps a quick, wordless scene during or near the end of the "Yoshi rising in the Guardian ranks/Mash getting jealous" sequence that would go something like this: A bitter-looking Mash ducks down some dark alley in a seedy part of time. He leaps over a wall and drops into a leaf-strewn and weed-choked courtyard. Cut to him standing in front of a door... he knocks on it in a specific sequence of knocks... the door opens onto darkness, and Mash -- with a quick glance backward (symbolizing his last moment "in the light", as it were) -- slips inside. The door shuts, and we see that there is a weathered (but still legible) Foot symbol on it. (We couldn't see it a moment ago when Mash was standing in front of the door.)
The reason I suggest this is that in the script as is, the entry of the Shredder and the Foot into the story (via the Mash connection) still seems too abrupt to me.

13.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
Mashimi’s words struck Yoshi with the blistering force of an atomic bomb. Everything he cherished had been suddenly stripped away... leaving him blank... senseless... like he was filled with nothing at all. Empty."

The atomic bomb reference is a bit over the top. Actually, this whole paragraph is over the top. I get that Tang Shen has been taken from him, and he's bereft about that, and also about Mash's betrayal... but EVERYTHING? I think this needs to be toned down a little.

14.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
Yoshi gave no quarter, took no prisoners... he was a machine intent on only one thing: victory.
LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
Within minutes the tide had turned, as Yoshi single-handedly drove the Foot before him..."

I question the use of the word "machine" to describe Yoshi at this moment, because it seems to be the exact OPPOSITE of what he is here, which is a man driven by PASSION. Also, I have to say that I'm not crazy about this "super Yoshi" who is single-handedly driving the Foot horde before him. I think it would work better if his inspired combat actions inspire the other Guardians and Utroms, and they rally around him.

15.) Re: the following:

"LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
Yoshi went after the Shredder with ferocity and precision...
Yoshi hacks off one of the Shredder’s arms and sends his helmet flying off, revealing a surprised and pissed Oroku Saki face.
LEONARDO (V.O. NARRATION)
Cutting off an arm, knocking off his helmet..."

Because we've already done an arm-severing in this episode, maybe instead Yoshi cuts off one of the Shredder's hands -- perhaps the one with the bladed gauntlet.

16.) Re: the following:

"YOSHI
I don’t blame you, sensei. I blame Mashimi. I will set this to rights or I will perish trying.
THE ANCIENT ONE
Perhaps more blood is not the answer. More blood will not bring Tang Shen back. More blood will only stain your hands forever."

I don't know if this will work, but I'll mention it anyway. What if the Ancient One uses a metaphor here to try to illustrate to Yoshi his point about vengeance? The metaphor is about a splinter... vengeance is like a splinter... it gets under your skin... irritating, torturing, getting infected and poisoning your life... unless you pluck it out (i.e. reject the way of vengeance). Yoshi goes ahead with his plans for revenge anyway, and kills Mashimi... but afterward realizes the truth of the Ancient One's words. And to forever remind himself of that sad lesson, he re-names his new pet, the rat which had belonged to Tang Shen... he calls it "Splinter".

17.) Re: the following:

"CUT back to the Shredder, quite pissed that things have once again gone awry. (Without Krang around to blame) Shredder (instead) moves into position to stand above Mashimi (much like Yoshi had stood a few minutes earlier).
TIGHT on Shredder delivering a powerful downward death-blow at us (at camera).
TIGHT as one of Mashimi’s hands goes limp."

I wonder if it might make the Shredder seem more like a badass if he doesn't deign to execute Mashimi, but instead makes a small gesture to his Foot Elite... who close in on Mashimi... one of them raises a weapon... and brings it down.

-- Pete

Йоши крут

Одежда Йоши, заставила меня вспомнить фильм "Убить Билла".

Прекрасная серия с безупречным сюжетом в несколько поколений ну очень странной линии мастеров ниндзюцу. Если не ошибаюсь разве что в Гайдене пытались развивать линию передачи черепахами навыков, полученных от Старейшего, Йоши и Сплинтера дальше. Старейший на своем уровне пытался отодвинуть судьбу - не вышло. Такая жизненная мелочь, что даже самые продвинутые существа не в состоянии спорить с планами мироздания, куда бы они не вели, хоть на край земли, хоть за край.

Вот костюм Йоши взят из "Игр смерти", его Тарантино взял для "Убить Билла", но это все знают наверное. Кстати, сюжет Возвращения в Нью-Йорк напоминает Игры смерти. Там тоже герой ходил по этажам и сражался

Какой же потрясный приквел можно было бы снять, если бы права на Черепах оказались у студии с прямыми руками и те бы превратили Черепах в крутую франшизу.
