TMNT The Gauntlet Review

The ninth episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 aired for the first time on Saturday Morning, November 17th 2012. This show has entertained over the past few episodes. Is there some absurdity? Yes, there is a great deal of absurdity. But when you have a show that has the main premise about four mutated turtles learning ninjitsu, then you can afford to go down the trip down the realm of insane. I found this week's effort to be fascinating for a number of reasons.

Of course, in many ways, this was a tale of two episodes, maybe three episodes. They packed a lot into the twenty two minutes they were allowed. The Turtles fought a number of problems, and just when you thought they would reach their greatest triumph, he shows up. The Shredder faces the Turtles for the first time. And as always, the Shredder just curb stomps the four of them. That never ceases to be amazing. It just shows how much of a badass the Shredder is that he can step in and take charge like that.

One of the worst kept secrets in the show finally were brought out. Of course, that's the problem with buying action figures, or even seeing them. They tend to spoil the show. I think half of the fanbase, at least the hardcore people who post on the Internet, knew this was coming. Regarding the two characters who were mutated, but I found it to be interesting in the how. And their transformation threw the Shredder off guard and allowed the Turtles to escape.

Of course, this week's efforts, on TMNT 2012 Episode 9 "The Gauntlet" started with a giant pigeon mutant. There are more thoughts on this one, so follow the link below for the full scope, of this week's efforts on Nickelodeon.
