S4 ep33: Leonardo Versus Tempestra

He’s so distraught I love him <3

TMNT: SATURDAY MORNING ADVENTURES #22

FEB 2025 By Erik Burnham , Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, and Ed Dukeshire.

Tempestra is back with a plan to get herself a lot of money, but the Turtles and Casey will team up against her.

RATING: GOOD

I guess that bit last issue with Casey not showing his face was a sneak peak for this issue's full face reveal.

It's a baseball issue, and therefore, not that interesting to me. But it kept entertained with many things. One is the many many easter eggs (mostly about Mirage, Archie, and Fred Wolf). And the other one is the explanation of why Tempestra changed motivations. And also... perhaps Casey's real name is Arnold here as well?

So, Tempestra already had these motivations in her last appearance, but because that was in the "Night of the Rogues" the Turtles didn't have enough time to figure out why. Now we know it had to do with some reprogramming.

Funny thing... Stumpy and Sling are a take on Stump and Sling, who were a parody of Trump and Don King. So... Stumpy and Sling kind of look like those original inspirations.

Overall, the issue had some entertaining visual choices, that I am pretty sure came from Sarah Myer. Even the detail of Tempestra calling out the Turtles with a pixelated logo.

Saturday Morning Adventures

Casey Jones 1987 may not wear the Baseball Hat and Shirt but at least he gets to use a Metal bat for the First Time

april might be known as the damsel in distress, but she has a life outside of the turtles. she is constantly busy with her own goals, deals with two sexist coworkers, supports her girl best friend despite not always agreeing with her choices, and willingly puts herself in danger to get a story when no one else will. even in the red sky seasons when she gets fired, she works her butt off to find evidence to clear the turtles’ name and to get a new job. she’s a powerhouse.

irma is one of the only characters with a noticeable character development, going from an insecure boy-crazy young lady who worries about diets and struggles with clumsiness, and slowly becomes a more independent young woman, following april’s example in taking risks to get results. and even before then, she always snarked back at vernon, her sexist coworker, with no hesitation. her last episode she literally handles a blaster so,,,, queen.

april’s aunt, agatha, is canonically one of the most op characters in the show. she doesn’t usually fight but she has several skills to get the job done without it. but she can still fight; she’s a skilled fencer. she’s a master inspector and always solves the mysteries she comes across. the turtles look up to her and she always steals the show in every episode she’s in.

shredder’s mom is more competent than him and kicks someone’s butt in her first scene. she’s a senior.

tempestra and shreeka are both really fun villainesses who stay memorable despite being in limited episodes.

kala is equal with her two guy friends, zak and dask, and despite being anti war, is brave enough to stand up to krang.

buffy, despite being a brat, was able to escape being kidnapped by the shredder almost entirely by herself and managed to outsmart him several times. she also takes care of her grandfather’s company herself.

mona lisa only has one episode, but it’s entirely her story. she is the one who kicks off the plot, the one who solves the problem, and the one with a backstory and goal. raphael’s just along for the ride.

lotus blossom remains undefeated in combat, able to defeat shredder, bebop, and rocksteady. all at once. she’s treated as leonardo’s equal in combat and earns his respect immediately, despite her cheating to win. in her second episode, we learn her insecurities and some of her background. she has depth and emotions and we see her learn about herself and move forward in her life, all while having good chemistry with leonardo.

The final Starter x Mega Rare OG Nexomon fusion: Fethra (Wind Starter) and Spink (Plant Mega Rare)!
