Review: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles “One Man’s Junk; Snow Day”

Overview (Spoilers Below)

One Man’s Junk

Repo-Mantis steals a mystic piece of armor that the Turtles need to get back but by the time the dust settles someone else has already claimed it. In exchange for wasting their time, the Turtles leave a pile of cat food for a mutated cat that wants nothing more than to eat the bad guy mantis, anyway.

Snow Day

It’s a snowy day in the neighborhood and the Turtles with April/Mayhem are having a good time. Ghostbear shows up and is bit by a mutated mosquito that turns him into even more of a beast than before and the former pro-wrestler uses these newfound powers to…attack the Turtles’ snowman. In return, the turtles freeze Ghostbear

Our Take

This week’s episodes feature a couple of tales that I hope are some signs of what’s to come. For “One Man’s Junk”, it’s a mystical armor piece with untold power that could potentially lead to some tasty arcs in which to chomp on. Granted, yes, enchanted trinkets and whatever are all the rage for series like this, but it’s better than what we’ve been getting. “Snow Day” featured the most amount of fight action seen this season that I hope only becomes more increased. Sure, it takes some time to get used to the fact that the Turtles are using incorrect weapons, but again, I’ll take this over a premise of river-rafting in the sewers of NYC any day of the week. The show isn’t great yet, but here’s hoping we’re going to get some juicer elements to keep us hooked sooner, rather than later.
