I love how Raph is the only one in a sorta serious relationship.The other turtles just have crushes while Raph actually got his girlfriend to like him. And kissed multiple times. Plus Mona Lisa in this series is badass.

[@Chris_Cross-pf3dp]

I feel the same way, I believe the other turtles are without a serious relationship due to the fact that their crushes are humans. Not to mention, I was rooting 4 Karai & Leo but with this space odyssey I just don't know. What do you think?

[@tianchristopher2274]

Jay M I seriously thought they were going to break up! Wait, did they break up, and then got back together? Or Raph was just pisted at her?

[@alexandrabrown068]

8:55 - 9:15 Pretty much how all fangirls react when watching episodes with the turtles' love interests 😂👌🏾

[@burgerkingJ]

I'm just glad Raph's and Mona's relationship is still going well. I hate the whole betrayal, would you forgive me, something bad happens to the person, and I finally forgave you thing.

[@aaa1e2r3]

+burgerkingJ Atleast they kept it all to the one episode instead of dragging it out into multiple episodes

[@DieselDuckFan2001]

+burgerkingJ I starting to not like Mona Lisa and Raph's relationships! It is starting to get annoying!

[@Shnacking]

I died when he said "I'm normal"

[@lorenasalaparm]

Me too 😂😂

[@rage2769]

I'm so glad that Raph and Mona Lisa are still together, these two are met to be together forever! 😇

[@dickgrayson2189]

dude should do voice acting in future

[@44BlueFoxes]

+Dick Grayson search HISHE how ninja turtles should've ended. Andre voices some of the turtles. He does a great job too.

[@Stills321]

Revenge of the Triceratons was totally awesome! especially since there was a major lack of Donnie in this season. The Evil of Dregg was Meeeh... i think they could've expanded more on the story tbh. i'm so ready to go back to earth i'm done with space! p.s Raphael's fans are coming for your head Mona 😂

[@DiamondCrash]

If any characters follow them to earth I want it to be Mona Lisa, Sal Commander, Lord Dregg, Armaggon and the Fugitoid. I know that's basically every important character of the space arc but they're honestly really cool characters and it would be a shame to never see them again.

[@cartoonfanboy1374]

I think that Fugitoid would die or something. Like maybe sacrificing himself for the Turtles or trying to destroy the Heart of Darkness.

[@cjck1344]

Both of you are right and I feel scared 😂

[@GamerOfFlames]

and thats how newts are born

[@daysihernandez1205]

I love this review good job Andre and when I saw "The Evil of Dregg" and I was listing to a song from RWBY and when it went to the lyric "Let's kiss and Make up" the scene of Raph and Mona kiss at the I was like wow perfect timing

[@TheBlackSquirrel]

I can love "The evil of Dregg" episode simply for hearing Lord Dregg (Peter Stormare) say "Smorgasbord". XD Though it was kinda weird to hear a man who can speak fluent Swedish to pronounce it with an american accent. :)

[@Ahturos]

+TheBlackSquirrel Jaså är hans svensk? Skumt. Och han verkar ha dubbat i andra shower ibland. Tråkigt om han inte var Svenska rösten också.

[@TheBlackSquirrel]

+Ahturo s (Ahturos) Åh! Har svenska dubben kommit till säsong 4 än? (O.O) Hade varit super-coolt om Peter Stormare hade kunant vara svenska Dregg också!

[@BananaSandwich3000]

+TheBlackSquirrel Don't ever use the "XD" emoticon, it sickens me.

[@Ahturos]

BananaSandwich3000 Well sorry best you can do about it is simple not thinking about it. We will continue using XD as long as we like it.

[@Imawoozle]

This is definitely my favorite TMNT review that you have done, Andre! So hilarious and insightful!!! Love RaphXMonaLisa & Apriltello so much!!! #SmoothRaphael & #SmoothDonatello 😍❤️🎉😂

[@ricon420]

Why didn't you talk about Lord Dregg being a robot!?

[@cartoonfanboy1374]

I know right? But in my opinion, I have a theory that Lord Vringath Dregg is a robot because of the Vreen. Since he is the ruler of them and is their father, he might be a superior Vreen. Especially because of their similar appearances.

[@DragonFrootBunny]

When you mentioned the Gremlin reference about the Gremlin throwing plates at the guy I made a connection to the 2007 TMNT movie where Raphael is fighting this tiny "Gremlin" like creature and the thing starts throwing items found in the kitchen like pots, pans, plates, and some food at Raphael.

[@joelfigueredo957]

I wish people would make a meme out of “I wanna get a tattoo of my face, on my faaaace” I mean that was joke from Season 1 and idk why that’s not a meme already that was funny af what would that even look like

[@1butter60]

Also, the whole reason why the Triceratons actually go on their ship, or "Prepared to be borded" is because of April. "Well, you're just gonna have to come over and get it!"

[@evathehedgehog01]

I was having a fan fit cause I thought the producer was ending Raphael x Mona Lisa and so that was a mix of emotions until the end when they got back together. Then I threw got a fan girl scream cause I was soo super happy

[@BananaSandwich3000]

+Jess A Then you got wet.

[@xxxoGwen187]

"The Evil of Dregg" episode made me really sad and I cried but at the end of the episode I cried tears of joy. At the end of the episode the way Raphael and Mona Lisa holding each other's hands n looking at each other, before they we're about to kiss, is a reference to Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas : it resembles Jack & Sally's moment at the end of the film.

[@rachelkoz1420]

Last time I was this early, youtube had a good copyright system

[@maleekford3981]

Last time I was this early it was 3 years ago

[@brobot500]

Last time I was this early... The fine bros still had 14 million subscribers.

[@wrendoctor2022]

+Brobot 500 Last time I came this early, my girl felt bad for me

[@Docolate]

Did anyone else think the scorpion vs Ralph was a Shelob reference?

[@JohanRAM]

You mean raph

[@joshuahartman3132]

I'd say the lesson is more "Don't make deals with villains!"

[@leothehero4629]

Poor Raph for all that love was for nothing in that episode he saved Mona life 2 times before. I think Raph should have another episode to keep his emotions in check. How come dregg became a robot I thought he was real but now I've seen everything and Raph kicked bugs all over the place.

[@_SquishyShark_]

Aren't you gonna talk about Lord Dregg actually being a robot? i mean that was a pretty huge reveal right? Or what

[@1butter60]

+Laura Pedersen Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that. MY god, that's so true. F is for FREAKY

[@glennjeffers8040]

Chris Bradford's Trail Mix is a meta-reference to the Mr. T. cereal back in the 80's, which used to be advertised on the Mr. T. cartoon show on Saturday mornings.

[@altair769]

I love your voice acting - that was a spot on Mikey imitation!

[@gooberproductions8961]

You didn't talk about lord dredd been a robot

[@gapelle7867]

Ikr

[@johnscarberry7222]

i know

[@theramatron19]

That moment where it was revealed that he's a robot, I was confused as hell.

[@kristinharrelson6157]

I bet he's gonna end up being controlled by some pipsqueak of a bug too...

[@satanslittleunicorn6536]

+The Ramatron or maybe he's being controlled by the 80s dregg I mean kraang is related to the new krangs

[@josiahtrelawny8612]

I want fugitoid to stay with the turtles if they ever get back on earth

[@SuperSonicAnguirus]

Fugitoid is m y new favorite character and I thought I wouldnt like him

[@Deadpool3E]

What I liked about "The Evil of Lord Dregg" was how Armaggon was basically whining the whole time about how he was basically the mastermind of the plan to the point Dregg snapped at him. Also, are we going to ignore the fact that Raphael exposed Dregg as some kind of weird robot? Kinda something that needs to be addressed. Is it supposed to be a doppelganger? A... Dreggbot, if you will? As for the Fugitoid's final attack, I'm pretty sure he was able to do that before, but it either used up a lot of power or some other reason he was only able to use it rarely.

[@brendanfernando5692]

Does anyone else think that the turtles will be the reason why earth was destroyed

[@UltimateThanos]

I'm just wondering how this space story arc is gonna end. They traveled back in time. What happens when they destroy the Heart of Darkness and save Earth from annihilation? Are we gonna have 8 turtles running around New York? Are the turtles who time traveled gonna sacrifice themselves? Are they gonna fuse with their 6 months ago counterparts and still have their memories from their space adventures? God, I hate time travel!!!

[@MiMiTheMemer]

I hate it too! Like Raph said once "Uhh, my head hurts...!"😰

[@jled787]

+MasterSeijin IMO they find the last piece but before they could destroy it is stolen by the Triceratons and they then get the signal from Earth telling them The Kraang are there, so it becomes a race to Earth. And when they get there, they decide to not reveal themselves to their past selves until Shredder's eventual betrayal and they save Splinter from being killed, while the past turtles stop the Heart of Darkness (or mayhbe teleport it at reduced power to the Triceraton Armada). All of them are now confused as to what happens next but the Fugitoid gives them the straight deal, the past turtles must go with the newly arrived past Fugitoid to retrace the current season Turtles, April and Casey to ensure continuity and everyone but the Triceratons The Kraang and Shredder's Crew have a happy ending.

[@MiMiTheMemer]

+J. Louie Dinorog Exactly..... but..... I'm still confused..... lol! Not really.😊 But, it still is a little confusing...... 😉

[@wanderinghuntress8645]

AHHHH! I JUST GOT THAT FACE OUT OF MY HEAD! WHY DID U HAVE TO SHOW IT?!

[@jonathanteter6344]

When I saw "Revenge of the Triceratons", it also totally reminded me of the Gremlins movies as well Andre! Also, their was a question I was hoping you could answer for me, in the episode "The Evil of Dregg", did Raphael punch the head off of a Lord Dregg robot in the end or the real Lord Dregg? Plus, no offense to any of the new Ninja Turtles fans but I still prefer the Lord Dregg and Mona Lisa of the 1987 series to the Lord Dregg and Mona Lisa of the 2012 series even though Mona Lisa only appeared in one episode in the 1987 series. The reason being for Mona Lisa is because she's a mutant lizard like in the comics and for Lord Dregg I just prefer the way he looks in the 1987 series. I also might prefer the ones in the 1987 series because I grew up in the 1990's so the 1987 Ninja Turtles cartoon is my favorite Ninja Turtles cartoon.

[@thenerdtalkpodcast9460]

The 87 Dregg was a more developed and threatening villain

[@cartoonfanboy1374]

Fugitoid already had that one move you mentioned. He used it before in Riddle of the Ancient Aeons.

[@Hewylewis]

If the Space saga ends, does this mean no more Mona Lisa? :(

[@herohunterdabi3503]

She could come visit Earth

[@Hewylewis]

***** I wonder what her earth attire would look like. Also, I wanna see her maybe fight serpent Karai!

[@DieselDuckFan2001]

***** I never actually liked Mona Lisa that much but I guess if she comes to Earth, they can make her a better character!

[@DieselDuckFan2001]

***** I understand we have opinions but it would be good to see more Salarmardirians in the future and who knows! Maybe if Mona Lisa comes to Earth with the Sal Commander, I might like Mona then!

[@DieselDuckFan2001]

***** I really hope Shredder comes back though! Maybe they might introduce Alpha One and Tokka this season and reintroduce Dogpound!

[@pyreneesgal5823]

And.............you're nuts, bro. Your impersonation of the Skeevix is.......crazy. *gets you pizza to calm you down*

[@MFAniki6390]

I really enjoyed the Triceraton episode, when the armada was just hounding the Turtles with all these different types of weaponry might just be one of my favorite sequences so far this season. However, I didn't really care for the next episode. It was nice to see Mona and Salcommander again but it felt like we needed more of a break from Armagon and Dregg considering when we last met them and it seemed like this episode wasn't as polished as the other episodes. Some of the animation didn't feel smooth when the Turtles and Casey feel into the Sarlac pit their models felt very cheap and plasticy and seeing some of the GIFs again some of the animation looked very stiff (look at April after she kissed Donnie). I guess the production was rushed for this episode?

[@equaliteatime]

+MFAniki6390 i absolutely agree! the animation did look pretty messy, like when raph was reacting to mona's betrayal he was just kinda standing there haha. and while i really like armaggon i wish we had more follow up to what just happened in the triceraton episode, i just want the turtles to get back home. also they mentioned mona's home planet was gonna get annihilated and everybody's still like "how could u" what??? that's a lot of people at risk to just be like "well i'm dating one of those earth creatures sooo guess my planet can just die"

[@marianasavii7394]

MONA LISAxRAPHAEL APRILxDONATELLO RENETxMICHELANGELO KARAIxLEONARDO CASEYx... Casey is alone... #ForEverAlone... Well, I don't like him kkkkkk

[@GarciaXVLegend_04]

+M.S. Things Wait a minute... Casey is the Yamcha in this Universe? 2003 Casey is still a badass though

[@beckil1211]

maybe a oc that's good enough that one of the animators consider it

[@losnfjslefn8857]

+M.S. Things Good. Casey's ok sometimes, but most of the time he just annoys me lol.

[@marianasavii7394]

kA of course, by the way, he is CASEY JONES!!! THE MOST HORRIBLE MAN ALIVE!!!! kkkkkk

[@clarkkent952]

Well maybe Nickelodeon will be nice and have Venus De Milo be with Casey in the future? After all, Don and April got something going on, so why not a female turtle on Casey? 😎

[@Flashshadow]

Glad two of your favorite franchises met up in the same episode. XD

[@marinahabib7200]

Andre, what about Dregg having a robot head when Raph sliced his head off?

[@chriswilson9560]

He actually he punched off.

[@GenAqua]

I loved the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer reference.

[@MiloMur_305]

8:55 xD that impression is super funny xDD and soo real (ralph is my favorite one in the show and this helps it alot xD)

[@jvsweet177]

Yep, that was a Hitchhiker's reference, and so was the name of the cantina a few episodes back (Zephod Cantina = Zephod Beeblebrox. They're pulling out all the Sci-Fi references (except for Dr. Who, oddly enough).

[@Nomaddeejayxo]

"Don't tell her that" 😂

[@eastsidereviews727]

I enjoyed both episodes, I am digging this space adventure! Unrelated, but will you be doing a review of the All That reunion special when it happens?

[@OneManSentai]

7:45 They've been Smeckledorfed!

[@daisyward8199]

Is it just me or did BlackNerd not mention that Mona Lisa was stabbed in the back (literary) and Raph was by her side until she woke up after he fought Dregg

[@pyreneesgal5823]

*stuttering* Exactly!

[@newcollector]

The lesson here is "The end doesn't justify the means." or more to the point "Don't trust someone that's already shown you they are untrustworthy."

[@ninjagregshow9423]

andre, I have a feeling they're saving the return to earth for either a midseason double length episode or the season finale

[@trash-panda1873]

" she tho is in cute" slash slash slash! " she loves me!" stab stab. I was like pas XD and I died that was best part.

[@KazuBells]

I miss the ninja side to the turtles. I miss them being stealthy and in the shadows and even Mikey knew what he was doing. I also miss the glory days where they knew very little and were uncoordinated, confused, goofy teenagers where they were more at each others throats or yelling at one another than working together. I love episodes like that where they are still learning and more like teenagers or family than a well-oiled machine unit. I miss those glory days. I now want to rewatch 2003 Turtles.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Really cause it seemed like 2k3 turtles were alot more organized

[@SPRX77]

yay double episode recap 😄 and to be honest those two episodes made my day with so many references to many things I had watched as a kid XD I can't wait for next Sunday, cause my birthday is next sunday, 18 years old!!!🎉

[@junepereira97]

Happy 18 in advance 😄😄😄

[@SPRX77]

+Joanita97 thank you on April 17 :D

[@MarcMarioMaster]

I directly thought of you when I watched the show these days and got to this episode. It was fun but woah, the Turtles kill quite some mutants and aliens these days. One Gremling even gets put into a microwave. XD

[@fugitoid1239]

11:41 THATS WHAT IVE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE OMG ANDRE I FEEL YA

[@kingdjack6]

raid was more of the 90's.

[@cosmojlondo6553]

I new that Mona was going to betray the turtles if that was Donnie planed that stung in the face he can't be 3,000 years behind

[@EmperorVegeta0204]

You need to get married Andre 😂

[@j0llyblackgiant]

one day they need to let you do a smooth donatello voice over on the show

[@zuleymaflores4275]

+ Black Nerd Comedy thank you for the review I was waiting like crazy

[@ChurchoftheLatterDayShrek]

When I saw the name Gremlins I thought it was the actual Gremlins from the Gremlins Movie

[@tastytango4841]

Is the new fugitoid transformation a refreshing to mecha naruto?

[@Creepingdoom510]

i also think when the space gremlins were watching crognard and looking content is a reference to how the gremlins watching snow white.

[@astrocitizen]

7:55 -- "Now Sweet Apple Acres belongs to us!" .... Well, you're the one who said Flim-Flam :) 9:57 -- Actually, thanks to sports bar & grills, I know those are still on, but like ESPN-type channels. Also, these days they've toned down the actual blowing up part. 10:55 -- Ugh... when two people are making out, and it sounds like Jay Sherman gorging on shrimp, try to see if the hotel will give you a refund.

[@OctoAri]

Lol. I actually think most of tumblr is wanting Raphael and Mona together. Or at least a very vocal minority because any time I've voiced my reasons for disliking the way the relationship has panned out I have gotten slammed.

[@kieranbenclarke9821]

in Gen 13 issue 13B the Ninja Turtles cameo, and Grunge (a character from the series) saves them from being stuck in a pile of their own merchandise

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Did you notice the reference when the shark bounty hunter was pulled down the hole by the scorpion. I thought of Boba Fett being pulled into the sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi!

[@SeanCwilich]

Good reviews of both episodes. I watched them both today. :)

[@lakirap]

Ikr I'm so home sick I WANT NYC BACK!!!😭😭

[@CrazyCartoonCat12]

I miss the turtles being in New York as well. I've been avoiding the show since the season finale with the exception of Trans Dimensional Turtles.

[@Lenandstormi]

did anyone else notice that when dreggs head was off of dregg that it looked kind of like whatever fugitoid is made of

[@rebecca2172]

Like every entomophobic on the planet,it's normally that Raphael fell itching on all the body,and i love that he tried to show himself brave in front of Mona Lisa!

[@TheSoniclover34]

I Really Thought The 2 Episodes Was Really Good And I Got Shocked When Donnie Got Stinged And I'm All Like Oh No My Sweet Baby Donnie!

[@mariahelenafernandezdefior9132]

2:52 now he's just imitating himself.

[@mattbethell2155]

Andre raid is still big in my country (Australia) you can still see their ads the even had one where they were going to kill off the fly

[@KaijuRamen54]

Right there with ya...Gremlins is one of my all time favorite movies

[@pancake2115]

To know that my favourite KZbinr is working with my favourite KZbin channel CrashCourse blows my mind!

[@ChaosSepher]

Surprise no mention how very Alien/H.R. Geiger the inside of Dregg's citadel was.

[@jojay2148]

You didn't mention the bit where Monalisa almost died or Mikeys quote of wisdom about raph getting a punch to the heart

[@WhysoSeriousSamual]

With the space saga coming to a end, Is is possible that Predetermination Paradox is in play? What if the turtles caused the end of the world? I am calling it.

[@soulreaper2273]

Same I miss TMNT in NYC :( and I'm so confused with the whole AprilXDonatello thing going on. Are they going to talk about it or have they come to a decision that they're just really good friends (that tend to kiss occasionally). I for one love the AprilxCasey from previous versions of the TMNT, but this series is making me root for Donatello XD. I mean did the whole lip to lip kiss happen! #SmoothDonatello

[@youngcartertt2]

"That's gremlins yo"

[@ThePonderer]

You know Raid commercials are still a thing, right?

[@joeydemitro8976]

THE NICKELODEON TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES VERSION OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ARE VERY GOOD AND AWESOME TOO MY FRIEND

[@fugitoid1239]

Glad to see that the producers are actually 'killing' the villains now. Instead of just hinting at a future return.

[@geardog24]

Nah, they'll bring Armaggon back.

[@MFAniki6390]

+_Fugitoid _ Did Armaggon die? I'm pretty sure he dodged the laser and just fell into the pit.

[@geardog24]

MFAniki6390 Who were you talking about?

[@lorenasalaparm]

8:55 You just described me 😂😂

[@Stills321]

+Lorena Parmigiani 😂 at least you're owning up to it

[@alexplaza7487]

GREMLINS!!!

[@RedShirtRemyStarship]

I can relate. Looking at a marching army of ants make my skin crawl...

[@radkej]

Donatello explores the world of chemical warfare. Am I a week ahead?

[@danjel28]

did anyone else look at the Gremlins on his shelf when he was talking about Gremlins?

[@stixo26]

Lol Donnie was looking like Will Smith in Hitch!

[@ozar361]

There are 2 sets of turltles, the ones from the past before the black hole generator destroyed Earth and the ones from the future after the black hole generator destroyed Earth. The turtles from the future are in space because of the black hole generator. So if they destroy the generator, dosen't that mean that the turtles that are on Earth will never go into space and the turtles from space will disappear. A major paradox

[@ImYourS3npai]

You forgot to mention what happened to Lord Dregg. There seems to be a small alien inside a Dregg suit.

[@thenerdtalkpodcast9460]

Or he's just a robot

[@ECL28E]

for a second, I thought you had a pinball machine back there

[@RedShirtRemyStarship]

3rd Mona Lisa sighting. She's definitely recurring unlike 1990s Mona Lisa 1 episode.

[@viviannemj5310]

10:25 Best moment.

[@kylahyvonne]

Where can I find the second episode?

[@meghanm4390]

Can they even really go back to Earth? I mean technically their from the future, a future where Earth is destroyed. Will preventing Earth’s destruction cause a ripple effect allowing them to go back to their own timeline with Earth never being destroyed? Or are they stuck to forever wander space? If they were to go back to the current timeline’s Earth, there’s already their past selves living there. So, what would happen if they met their past selves? Would their past and future selves merge together? Or would the turtles from the future just simply disappear? Or is Renet going to play a big part in returning them to their own timeline with an undestroyed Earth?! As the Doctor often would say, “[time] is a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.” Ah, also I believe the Fugitoid could already use that laser cannon before Donatello fixed him. I think it was the episode where they got the first piece of the Black Hole generator.

[@WiseAilbhean]

Someone sells out me and my friends to save their own planet... eh I can't blame them.

[@rebeccamyers676]
