It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was
Only ghost files on it atm but Mystery Files and Puppet History are next. Watcher has back pedalled on deleteing all their free content to lock it behind a pay wall but y'know what? maybe I just dont want to give them ad revenue anymore, which is evil but screw them. Also they may still back pedal on their back pedalling, which is to many pedals anyways.
The most disappointing thing about the 2012 tmnt crossover with 1987 turtles is that it doesn't feel like the writers took advantage of the silliness that both turtle-worlds had.
1987 turtles’ cartoon logic combined with the 2012 turtles’ tendency to have over-the-top anime reactions would so much fun to play with.
They could have given us a moment where 2012! Raph gets so mad that his head literally catches on fire while 1987! Michelangelo just nonchalantly pulls marshmellows out of nowhere and roasts them over the flames.
But they didn't. And that will always feel like a missed opportunity to me.
It's a personal headcanon of mine that the reason that 2012! Raph not-so-secretly likes it when his brothers lose their temper is because it low-key validates his own feelings of anger.
Raphael has spent most of his life being told to calm down because he's “letting his anger get the best of him.” He likely thinks that when he’s angry he’s just being “over dramatic” or “blowing things out of proportion” even when the situation at hand has given him very valid reasons to be pissed off.
So when one of his other brothers snaps alongside him, he takes it as a sign that in the current situation, his anger is justified and not just him “losing his temper again.”
