I always really liked the idea of Donnie having an artificial shell. It's one of the reasons I was so excited for Rise. It just seems like something he'd do if his shell got damaged.
In ROTTMNT, it’s actually a protective shell he built to cover his real shell, which is too weak because he’s a soft-shell turtle. Leo, Raph, and Mikey are a red-eared slider, snapping turtle, and box turtle.
@@stephenking5852 Still def something Donny would def do, and its wild we haven't seen more incarnations do so. Then again, they had a lot of materials to do with whatever they pleased in Rise thanks to its cartoonyness
Donatello’s near death in the IDW comics left me with an emotional scar that I doubt will ever fully heal lol. A few years ago at a local comic convention I got the opportunity to listen to Kevin Eastman talk about issue 44 and he said that they work on the comics several issues in advance so when one is published, they’re already way passed it and working on new things. He said that the Thursday after it was released he woke up to the internet losing it’s minds over them killing Donatello and he was like, We did what?? 🤣 But that was because he and Tom Waltz had already wrote him being ok. LOL
Cheer up dude , dont get emotionally scarred from fiction. Actual life is way more traumatic. Grow that shell thicker young one, you got bigger scarier ones heading your way.
For me the most tragic and emotional death of Donatello was this one (IDW) due to his shell being smashed in and the turtles and their allies all morning his supposed death. I’m sure that “Blood in snow” (The Last ronin: #4) will have an even more brutal and devastating death for Donnie as well as Splinter, can’t wait to see how Mikey reacts to those two’s deaths when he finally arrives in Japan and how he will fully become the Last ronin.
@@sarahshivak2593, two reasons why they most likely kept Donnie for last in the Last ronin comic series could be. 1) When Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were coming up with the concept for the series over 30 years ago they probably had it all planned out in advanced for which turtle would die first and how. Most likely Kevin wanted to keep to the original plan and that’s most likely what they did. 2) As I stated above the people behind the comic are most likely keeping to the original plan and also it would make sense to keep Donnie as the last to fall. If you think about it both Mikey and Donnie have a strong bond (quite possibly as strong in this incarnation) so after seeing his final brother die/fall it would be the final straw for Mikey to push him to become darker and more vengeful if he witnesses his brother’s death or sees his corpse. This could possibly be the reason why and would be really impactful on the story. So this is most likely why Donnie is the last to die.
For those who are sad. He came back to life. They put his soul Into metal head but I forgot how he got back to his body. Idk if that story is canon or not though
I just got to this arc in comic and HOLY SHIT my heart DROPPED, seeing my favorite turtle go through all of that shocked me. I'm REALLY loving the IDW comic rn.
I never knew that he had came back I dove into the story and left when they smashed his shell... thank you for the channel and education on tmnt.. big fan here :)
I used to think the red sky seasons of Ninja Turtles were kind of dark as a kid growing up in the '90s but wow! The comic books were definitely darker and more violent than the cartoons.
The few issues before the attack and the few after are INCREDIBLE STORY TELLING! Hooked me immediately- I encourage anyone out there who hasn’t read to do so. If I recall correctly the issues necessary are 43-46/7? It can be years from now but I welcome your feedback!
I really enjoy this comics take on bebop and rocksteady. Still stupid and childish but it actually makes them more dangerous. Like that time Bebop tried to flick that dudes nose and accidently broke his face
Ngl even though Don is my favorite and I see a lot of myself in him, he set himself up by not telling anyone. Seeing as splinter and a couple of friends were not with the other turtles they could have been informed. Maybe they were just tired of Don's wooden Bo Staff.
At this point in the comics Donnie wasn't on best terms with Splinter or the Turtles, because Donnie was worried about Krang terraforming Earth while Splinter was too caught up in getting vengeance on Shredder, and pushing the brothers to train. So he kinda goes out on his own during this arc. This is why Donnie compromises and seeks out help from the Foot.
Not a fan of this art style. IDW seems to be heavily inspired by Nikelodeon TMNT 2012. And i sort of liked that series, but the Turtles look so weird and slim. I prefer the original Mirage art style.
@@michaelmanes2695 I am not saying it's shit and that it should be changed. I just really can't get into it because the Turtles looks so frail and weak and i can't really enjoy it. I guess IDW is not for me.

I'm not going to shit on it just because i don't like it.
Even more compelling was what was done with Metalhead afterwards. Essentially retaining a copy of Donatello’s mind and going crazy…. Making you question which one is real and seeing robo Donnie descend into vengeful madness from a lack of sensory perception.
you should say essentially retaining a copy of Donatello's spirit because soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves só our mind or soul isn't us it just what make everything for us like our memories personality and feelings our spirit THAT IS us and our inner self
It really hurt me. Poor Donnie! He was my favorite turtle growing up. Bebop and Rocksteady left him in a coma. But then his soul was transferred into Metalhead until his body healed, then he went back to his body fully recovered.

I would like to say thank you I've had asked for an explanation for a few days and you took time out your already busy schedule to make a video of what happened.
Definitely, He’s been close to death and turned into a cyborg (Image/Urban legends), He’d been double mutated (2003), he’d got his shell cracked and his consciousness downloaded into the Metalhead robot (IDW), he had been mind controlled, possessed/double mutated, molecularly scattered, chocked and turned into a cyborg (2012) and whatever death waits for him (The Last ronin). I absolutely agree, Donnie has the worst luck out of the turtles mainly his 2012 version.
@@jkilolboom9295, Mikey seems to be the luckiest turtle out of the four most probably because he’s one of the most popular turtles? There have been occasions though that he’s not been so lucky like, 2012 when he had been infected by experimental mutagen which gave him ‘shell acne’, brutally beaten and got impaled. So overall even though he’s luckier than Donnie he still gets it here and there, lucky though that he’s The Last ronin.
@@jkilolboom9295, oh yeah that’s right. That was Kevin’s and Peter’s first sketches for their idea for a comic hero team. Apparently for behind the scenes for the Last ronin mini series Kevin Eastman always wanted Mikey to be the surviving turtle due to the reason you’ve just said and because he’s the youngest. This is what I’ve seen when I bought the Director’s cut for #1.
I've not read this but it sounds epic. I love IDW their Transformers series is fantastic with some of the best artwork I've ever seen. Will definitely be checking out the ninja turtles to after watching this.
Did Shreddar believe Donatello was treacherous by sending him and his forces into an ambush and that's why he ordered Donatello to be killed? But it wouldn't surprise me if Shreddar was still going to do it anyways.
Man the idw tmnt is gold from issue 1-50, 50-100 was awesome aaaaand that’s about it. But I loved the way they handled shredder, the foot, the hamato clan, reincarnation…the Donatello and metal head struggle arc was great. The way they made me love slash 👌🏼 glad to see more idw 🐢’s
@@cbfwebs gotcha I hope that’s the case. But the last ronin is awesome so I’m good. Hope it gets back to solid storylines and not some wannabe YA novel 😂
My point exactly ," he don't die" Seen the video and the comics even the episode where Leo is evil, Don is Metalhead, Raph is back in black and Mickey is old
Comic books often kill off characters only to bring them back later. Because of this I rarely feel anything when a character does die. In the back of my mind I'm thinking, "They're gonna bring him back.". Donatello's death in the IDW comics is one of the few exceptions. Even though I knew they were gonna bring him back his death still got to me. It was brilliant to have Bebop and Rocksteady kill him. This shows they are dangerous foes despite their stupidity. Never in a million years did I imagine them killing one of the turtles. The emotional drama the others are dealing with over Donatello's death was surprisingly done well.
The one thing is it'd probably be for adults unless they either make dons death kid-friendly, or cut put this part entirely. Which I'd doubt they would do because of the fact that this was one of the better parts. I'm also pretty sure there are other gorey parts, idk I haven't read the comics.
In all techincallity he was immortal while in Metal Heads Body which if I recall happens in different series also I just don't remember what itteration it occurred (I was smaller cut me some slack)In that version Metal Head was turtle sized and Silver he also had hidden weapons built all throughout his body. I think he was Baxter's creation in that iteration and Donnie had reprogrammed him or something like that but I honestly can't recall because it was so damn long ago.. All I can remember was due to a life threatening injury he was stuck using Krang tech and Metal head's body. but that's all I can recall..sorry.
They cant kill bebob and rock steady they heal real quick bebop and rocksteady hit road reveal they have a healing factor similar to deadpool and logan
@@thahotkidd I thought Tom Waltz left TMNT IDW series permanently? After the City at War ending where else can the story go? All they have is Jennika now which is on some wokeness stuff. They can do her backstory with the Foot but other than that ehh. Waltz would have to return to bring the mythos and maybe a char back.
I haven't read a comic book in general since forever ago so everything I come across that's had a comic adaptation or was originally a comic is absolutely new to me.
it would have been so FUCKING AWSOME to see raphael go into a unfit rage after donnies death and hunt bebop and rock steady down. ooooh my goodness that would have been awsome to avenge his brother.
This part shocked me more than the hits on Leonardo and Raphael. I swear considering how every turtle has had something in the IDW... I imagine that Michelangelo is next.
As soon as i see these images again and think about them, my heart aches💔😭😭😭😭....they had no right to kill one of the best characters that ever existed🤬🤬
Man i hate what the producers of almost every series do to Donnie. In the Movie reboot, the batman cartoon, the 2012 series, he is thin, has glasses, a nerd geek, the weakest turtle, stupid voice and a simp, always getting his ass kicked. I get it he is a techno geek, BUT the 2003 series for example did it good! Looking normal, kicking ass, not being inferior to the rest of the team. I hate it how Raph and Leo always get the main roles and Donnie and Mikey always are the Side Turtles. Make Donnie great again!
Hey TOTD, just wanted to take a minute to say AWESOME CHANNEL bro!! I wanted to ask you, seeing as how you’re familiar with the IDW TMNT comics, can you do any type SUPER IN DEPTH videos on this series? I’ve been collecting the 13 hardcover collected editions for some time now, and have been looking for ANY material on RUclips that looks into this series, it’s lore, or anything related to behind the scenes material for this series, and believe it or not, there ISNT much material on this series on RUclips. To be honest, I would LOVE to find something along the lines of a breakdown for each of the 13 volumes of the IDW collected editions. Seeing as how you’re such an avid and awesome Turtles fan, I can only imagine you’re probably the most qualified to ask of this. Lastly, (I know this is a bit long, I apologize) as I was getting ready to get into the IDW series, I had a VERY hard time differentiating the difference between the MULTITUDE of TMNT comic lines that have come out over the years. Is there ANY WAY you could do a video breaking down the different series that have come out over the years, and what content is included with which series? I know there were the mirage comics, image did a tmnt run, idw… shoot, if you go on ebay and search tmnt IDW comics, you’ll see just how confusing it can get for someone trying to collect ONE specific set compared to another. I would REALLY appreciate ANY help you could give or any light you could shed on these matters. AGAIN, I LOVE what you’re doing here. The content is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! From one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan to another, keep grindin’ and stay wavy brother!!!- Trent
Well in this one technically Donnie didn't die, but still was a shocker, I remember the news when this happen, I was pretty shock, Donnie is forever my favorite Turtle so this impacted me really bad when I heard that happen in such a brutal way.
This was always my fav comic run. The fact that my favourite turtle was transferred into his machine always intrigued me. Donnie gets way too much hate
hearing how donnie died made me cry like a baby bc donnie was always my favorite so I was devastated AND TNHEN HE CAME BACK AND I SCARED MY ENTIRE FAMILY BC I SCREAMED "F*CK YES!!!!" so damn loud ;-;
I think this was when I stopped reading the comics regularly and keep forgetting what I left off, this had definitely scarred me even when Donnie bounced back. I think this is my favorite version of Donnie, I don't know why, how, but something about him is just perfectly different. He's a total badass when he wants to be too
I’ve wondered that myself. Also, anytime they use teleportation they’re destroying their bodies and their minds/souls reconnect with them wherever they go (pretty sure that was talked about in one of the issues), so if that’s the case then they’ve all died so many times and have been recreated over and over again. Ooof, it makes my brain hurt and I get all emotionally conflicted. lol
you should say what If the spirit that went into metal head was just an exact copy If dons spirit at that moment in time because soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves só our mind or soul isn't us it just what make everything for us like our memories personality and feelings our spirit THAT IS us and our inner self
@@mamajesscake actually soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves só our mind or soul isn't us it just what make everything for us like our memories personality and feelings our spirit THAT IS us and our inner self
Donnie’s like: Ya know what? I’m going to hurt my entire family and friends mentally today! I will just go up to the two who ‘killed’ me, self destruct only to make an epic return. EVERYONE is going to think I’m dead! 😂 it’s gonna be so traumatic for ‘em. I’m a mad lad! To dangerous to be kept alive!!! >:]
Been loving this series and a bit darker tone for it and meaning for the Turtle Bros. wonder who they kill next if not how they kill Bepop and Rocksteady as they made a Turtle Pancake out of Donny...
I did like them in out of the shadows, yes they're not competent enough to take out one of the turtles, but gave'em a real run for their money! They have the best scenes in the movie!
@@pardonmygiggles7101 I thought it was just me. After 100 … it’s like the entire spirit of the franchise morphed into something entirely different. If I wanted to read something else, then I would.

What I remember as a kid is when mike went blind for awhile in the Archie TMNT adventrues series. it was in issues 53-61. And of course when the the mighty mutamales team got massacred in TMNT adventures issue 54 (which included favorites like mondo gecko, man ray and leatherhead) and that was a kids series
It's a lot easier to write something that's just unnecessarily dark it's far more difficult to write something that is dark uplifting inspirational and down to earth because then you actually have to respect your characters enough to make them seem somewhat human
I remember this. It was everywhere. Sadly I could never get ANY of these comics as theres no comic shop near me and I have to take a 2 hour train journey to London. Still all I can remember is thinking, HOLY SHIT. I sorta knew which way the fight was going as Don is not the most skilled or the strongest. Still seeing how mean Rocksteady and Bebop looked was interesting. I eel sorry for Harold. He had to see his friend get the living crap beat out of him and he could do nothing. Still, with all this thats happened to Donnie surely he should get the girl even if it's just once.

Man the idw tmnt is gold from issue 1-50, 50-100 was awesome aaaaand that’s about it. But I loved the way they handled shredder, the foot, the hamato clan, reincarnation…the Donatello and metal head struggle arc was great. The way they made me love slash 👌🏼 glad to see more idw 🐢’s
I couldn’t agree more
Yes it became shit when Tom Waltz left as head writer. Now its on some woke female type stuff no action or mythos at all.
@@cbfwebs agreed, I feel there was so much potential with the brothers falling apart but in the end…another one bites the dust.
@@guatobean2869 I heard Waltz maybe only temporarily left to do Last Ronin but I thought it was permanent when announced after City at War ended?
@@cbfwebs gotcha I hope that’s the case. But the last ronin is awesome so I’m good. Hope it gets back to solid storylines and not some wannabe YA novel 😂
Technically he never dies, they transfer his memory to metalhead and then back
I mean... if you watched the whole video you would see that he showed that.
Maybe watch the whole video next time lol
My point exactly ," he don't die"
Seen the video and the comics even the episode where Leo is evil, Don is Metalhead, Raph is back in black and Mickey is old
It says he died but clearly he didn’t. Is there something I’m missing?
@@mikecheq45 I think you can say that he died, but his memories didn't.
Yooo thank you! This was awesome!
Noooooooooo I'm crying.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.i love Donnie he's my favorite turtle.i still have my 2003 ninja turtle toy.
So he DOESN'T Die, he ALMOST dies. Why the fuck did I actually believe the title for even a fraction of a second?
I remember reading about this issue years ago. Got me reading IDWs Turtles comics, and I've never been upset by the decision.
Comic books often kill off characters only to bring them back later. Because of this I rarely feel anything when a character does die. In the back of my mind I'm thinking, "They're gonna bring him back.". Donatello's death in the IDW comics is one of the few exceptions. Even though I knew they were gonna bring him back his death still got to me. It was brilliant to have Bebop and Rocksteady kill him. This shows they are dangerous foes despite their stupidity. Never in a million years did I imagine them killing one of the turtles. The emotional drama the others are dealing with over Donatello's death was surprisingly done well.
Would really love to see this series as an animated film
Maybe an animated tv show instead. Similar to Invincible
@@lifeofjeffrey2447 thatd be awesome! Think of the action figures and other merch!
The one thing is it'd probably be for adults unless they either make dons death kid-friendly, or cut put this part entirely. Which I'd doubt they would do because of the fact that this was one of the better parts. I'm also pretty sure there are other gorey parts, idk I haven't read the comics.
After this, check out the other time Donatello died. Click here: ruclips.net/video/OykDlpXEeVs/видео.html
Poor dony just can't get a break
What is this comic book called
@@jamessoto7652 ikr the best turtle in my opinion
In all techincallity he was immortal while in Metal Heads Body which if I recall happens in different series also I just don't remember what itteration it occurred (I was smaller cut me some slack)In that version Metal Head was turtle sized and Silver he also had hidden weapons built all throughout his body. I think he was Baxter's creation in that iteration and Donnie had reprogrammed him or something like that but I honestly can't recall because it was so damn long ago.. All I can remember was due to a life threatening injury he was stuck using Krang tech and Metal head's body. but that's all I can recall..sorry.
How did they end up killing bebop and rock steady?
DAMM!! And I thought Donatello's most gruesome death was in the IDW TMNT Urban Legends comics (in my opinion)!
I can just imagine donnie saying “sup y’all! I’m back!” 😂
I absolutely love the style of these comics. I have read a few but I clearly missing out
Have we seen a turtle kill Bebop or Rocksteady in the comics?
Nope
@@bWWd0 um what? The same guy co wrote the idw series with Kevin Eastman for the first 100 issues and only took a break from it to work on last ronin.
They cant kill bebob and rock steady they heal real quick bebop and rocksteady hit road reveal they have a healing factor similar to deadpool and logan
They are so stupid that I'm surprised that they didn't accidentally kill each other.
@@thahotkidd I thought Tom Waltz left TMNT IDW series permanently? After the City at War ending where else can the story go? All they have is Jennika now which is on some wokeness stuff. They can do her backstory with the Foot but other than that ehh. Waltz would have to return to bring the mythos and maybe a char back.
I haven't read a comic book in general since forever ago so everything I come across that's had a comic adaptation or was originally a comic is absolutely new to me.
Donatello the Cliffjumper of the TMNT 🤷🏽♂️
damn
That's a pretty brutal death.
it would have been so FUCKING AWSOME to see raphael go into a unfit rage after donnies death and hunt bebop and rock steady down. ooooh my goodness that would have been awsome to avenge his brother.
Why didn't they go in that direction? Seems like Bebop and Rocksteady took this shit way too far and it was time for revenge
Whoa. That went dark very quick. :(
Never knew how dark the TMNT could be til I checked out the Nickelodeon version Rise: TMNT. Of course I grew up on the OG version
How dark is that one?
@@Aristocratic13 Not at all in the first three quarters of season one, but then it gets pretty serious
This part shocked me more than the hits on Leonardo and Raphael.
I swear considering how every turtle has had something in the IDW... I imagine that Michelangelo is next.
I still remember how hard it hit me when shredder killed splinter in tmnt 2012
Man, I wanted to hear how the turtles got revenge on bebop and rocksteady.
As soon as i see these images again and think about them, my heart aches💔😭😭😭😭....they had no right to kill one of the best characters that ever existed🤬🤬
Man i hate what the producers of almost every series do to Donnie. In the Movie reboot, the batman cartoon, the 2012 series, he is thin, has glasses, a nerd geek, the weakest turtle, stupid voice and a simp, always getting his ass kicked.
I get it he is a techno geek, BUT the 2003 series for example did it good! Looking normal, kicking ass, not being inferior to the rest of the team. I hate it how Raph and Leo always get the main roles and Donnie and Mikey always are the Side Turtles. Make Donnie great again!
He doesn't wear glasses in 2012
Thank you for making this video!
I graduated from kindergarten in the 80s. A rubber headed Donatello action figure was my graduation gift. My first tmnt toy.
Hey TOTD, just wanted to take a minute to say AWESOME CHANNEL bro!!
I wanted to ask you, seeing as how you’re familiar with the IDW TMNT comics, can you do any type SUPER IN DEPTH videos on this series? I’ve been collecting the 13 hardcover collected editions for some time now, and have been looking for ANY material on RUclips that looks into this series, it’s lore, or anything related to behind the scenes material for this series, and believe it or not, there ISNT much material on this series on RUclips.
To be honest, I would LOVE to find something along the lines of a breakdown for each of the 13 volumes of the IDW collected editions. Seeing as how you’re such an avid and awesome Turtles fan, I can only imagine you’re probably the most qualified to ask of this.
Lastly, (I know this is a bit long, I apologize) as I was getting ready to get into the IDW series, I had a VERY hard time differentiating the difference between the MULTITUDE of TMNT comic lines that have come out over the years.
Is there ANY WAY you could do a video breaking down the different series that have come out over the years, and what content is included with which series? I know there were the mirage comics, image did a tmnt run, idw… shoot, if you go on ebay and search tmnt IDW comics, you’ll see just how confusing it can get for someone trying to collect ONE specific set compared to another.
I would REALLY appreciate ANY help you could give or any light you could shed on these matters. AGAIN, I LOVE what you’re doing here. The content is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! From one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan to another, keep grindin’ and stay wavy brother!!!- Trent
Well in this one technically Donnie didn't die, but still was a shocker, I remember the news when this happen, I was pretty shock, Donnie is forever my favorite Turtle so this impacted me really bad when I heard that happen in such a brutal way.
This was always my fav comic run. The fact that my favourite turtle was transferred into his machine always intrigued me. Donnie gets way too much hate
hearing how donnie died made me cry like a baby bc donnie was always my favorite so I was devastated AND TNHEN HE CAME BACK AND I SCARED MY ENTIRE FAMILY BC I SCREAMED "F*CK YES!!!!" so damn loud ;-;
That story should definitely be a movie.
Honestly they should mix this into the backstory of The Last Ronin movie coming up.
Yes new video!
It was very dark moment, I grew up watching TMNT and never thought about dark sides.
Donatello ends up recovering so he ends up being ok afterwards
Thank god
Comics where death is only a minor setback.
Sounds like it
@@spartanq7781 yep
So he didn’t die then?
I think this was when I stopped reading the comics regularly and keep forgetting what I left off, this had definitely scarred me even when Donnie bounced back. I think this is my favorite version of Donnie, I don't know why, how, but something about him is just perfectly different. He's a total badass when he wants to be too
Shredder died and went to hell. It was collected into a graphic novel. The art was beautiful. The story was all over the place.
The first time that I heard about this, I literally dropped my slice of pizza. 😦
Would be interesting to know how they mend a turtle shell.
What if the mind that went into metal head was just an exact copy if dons mind at that moment in time. and the actual don is still dead.
I’ve wondered that myself. Also, anytime they use teleportation they’re destroying their bodies and their minds/souls reconnect with them wherever they go (pretty sure that was talked about in one of the issues), so if that’s the case then they’ve all died so many times and have been recreated over and over again. Ooof, it makes my brain hurt and I get all emotionally conflicted. lol
you should say what If the spirit that went into metal head was just an exact copy If dons spirit at that moment in time because soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves só our mind or soul isn't us it just what make everything for us like our memories personality and feelings our spirit THAT IS us and our inner self
@@mamajesscake actually soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves só our mind or soul isn't us it just what make everything for us like our memories personality and feelings our spirit THAT IS us and our inner self
Donnie’s like:
Ya know what? I’m going to hurt my entire family and friends mentally today! I will just go up to the two who ‘killed’ me, self destruct only to make an epic return. EVERYONE is going to think I’m dead! 😂 it’s gonna be so traumatic for ‘em. I’m a mad lad! To dangerous to be kept alive!!! >:]
Lool!
Been loving this series and a bit darker tone for it and meaning for the Turtle Bros. wonder who they kill next if not how they kill Bepop and Rocksteady as they made a Turtle Pancake out of Donny...
From goofball henchmen to violent thugs...why weren't the 'Out of the Shadows' Bebop and Rocksteady like this?
I did like them in out of the shadows, yes they're not competent enough to take out one of the turtles, but gave'em a real run for their money! They have the best scenes in the movie!
Amazing video of Donny death in teenage mutant ninja turtles comics and it’s awesome that bebop and rocksteady won against the turtles too.
Big shout out to you for listening to your fans
The first 50 issues of IDW TMNT was amazing. The rest of it is good.
Facts! And the issues after #100 are just... i dont really have a word for it 😂 not for me
@@pardonmygiggles7101 I thought it was just me. After 100 … it’s like the entire spirit of the franchise morphed into something entirely different. If I wanted to read something else, then I would. I want to read TMNT and it’s just not that anymore. I’m grieving the loss of my favorite incarnation of them. 😞
@@pardonmygiggles7101 its a calm in the storm, aka setting the plot for the next arc, which is obviously the Rat King. You guys just are addicted to nonstop action.
@@TravelWithCesarin i dont necessarily dislike the issues after 100 i just kinda feel like its more teen drama than badass ninja but i guess now that theyre on their own they have time for drama and relationships.
@@pardonmygiggles7101 technically, every TMNT iteration has had drama, 2012 and 2003 had issues related to drama between the family and even outside friends.
Besides, they are still continuing the plot related to mutant town, Peace with Footclan,the moves of Baxter and now the RatKing.
Dame that Intense!
I didn’t know Bebop and Rocksteady were actually competent.
In the comics they're still dumb but strong as fuck. They're good at mindless violence. Much better than they're 1980s cartoon versions
This make me scared of my childhood watching the shows but I never going to after seeing that
What I remember as a kid is when mike went blind for awhile in the Archie TMNT adventrues series. it was in issues 53-61. And of course when the the mighty mutamales team got massacred in TMNT adventures issue 54 (which included favorites like mondo gecko, man ray and leatherhead) and that was a kids series
How ironic is that? The smartest character gets killed off by the 2 dumbest characters
Brawn over brains
BOSSANOVA!!!!!🤘😭
….. 🤷 Chevy Nova?
Damn I felt that...
Wow poor Donnie my favorite and way to go with your youtube paige
Man... That sure is dark... Poor Donnie has had it rough it seems...
Turtle Power 🙏
Turtle power 🐢🐢🐢🐢💜💙❤🧡
That was the closest to turtle soup I've ever seen them become. Practically turned Don into a soup in a half shell.
Though I must admit; that was quite a comeback.
It's a lot easier to write something that's just unnecessarily dark it's far more difficult to write something that is dark uplifting inspirational and down to earth because then you actually have to respect your characters enough to make them seem somewhat human
Talk about a failure they went to kill their enemy and they succeeded in creating an enemy who no longer fears death
How much times is donnie gonna get killed
Ma fav turtle.........why
He ends up recovering so he’s ok
Thank god I'm just mad that don always gets hurt
@@JazzyJackle same 😭
Here is how it is
Mikey:get barley hurt
Raph:never gets hurt
Leo:gets hurt but fine
Donnie *another one bites the dust*
@@JazzyJackle 😂 so true
love it!! Would love to have you on our show!!
Nice vid
Wow. That’s dark.
Bro u scared me with the title
I remember this. It was everywhere. Sadly I could never get ANY of these comics as theres no comic shop near me and I have to take a 2 hour train journey to London. Still all I can remember is thinking, HOLY SHIT. I sorta knew which way the fight was going as Don is not the most skilled or the strongest. Still seeing how mean Rocksteady and Bebop looked was interesting. I eel sorry for Harold. He had to see his friend get the living crap beat out of him and he could do nothing. Still, with all this thats happened to Donnie surely he should get the girl even if it's just once.
