ROTTMNT Theory: Leonardo's Face

(I know this topic had been talked about in other posts before. I had a mighty need to add my 2 cents, along with some pictures.)

We know Leo's gonna grow to be an amazing leader. He's already learning how to work in groups and communicate with his team, and he's even beginning to reel back his prideful behavior.

However, to live by the important life lesson of "we do we", I get the feeling he's not gonna do it the same way as past TMNT iterations. Future Leo in the ROTTMNT movie is proof enough that his humorous quips are here to stay, even after decades of apocalyptic horrors.

Because Leo's right, he IS the face man. He just hasn't realized yet how crucial the face of a team is, or how great of a weapon it can be.

(Show and movie spoilers under the cut.)

Firstly, the face is an important tool for navigating the world around you. It's where three (four counting the ears) of the body's senses are placed. Sure, you can technically live and roam through touch alone, but then you risk missing a lot of information about your surroundings that could impact your life.

Metaphorically speaking, Leo provides this for his team the most often. He uses his highly attuned senses to scan their environment for immediate details. This allows him to adjust their plans to even the slightest changes, or to make quicker deductions based on whatever clues he finds.

Another thing about faces is how prominently they're used for communication. They are one of the most critical tools for social interactions of all kinds, including deception. Mastery of facial gestures is what lets so many actors/actresses thrive when putting on believable performances.

Continuing the metaphor, Leo has proven himself to be a master of persuasion so many times throughout the Rise series. His easygoing charm can make him both motivating for loved ones and easy to underestimate for opponents.

Once Leo's self confidence improves some more, his social intelligence gives him the potential to become terrifyingly powerful. The ability to outwit geniuses by thinking outside the box. Negotiation skills that could put the average politician to shame. Eyes as sharp as his katanas, ones that could read people like comic books. An equally sharp tongue able to flip entire situations in his team's favor through words alone.

Next to hope, Leo's face truly is his most dangerous weapon. He just needs to learn how to not let it control him. I'd love to see Leo further develop this more charismatic style of leadership that tends to set him apart from his past series' counterparts.

this podcast has ruined me emotionally

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

Tfw the reason Stolas is so loving and eager to support his daughter, going so far as to stay with an abusive piece of shit wife like Stella so their daughter can *try* to have a normal family life, is because he was denied that kind of familial love from his own father 🥲

Like there was a lot I liked about this newest ep but my favorite little moment was easily the hall of portraits in his castle: he looks so miserable and dejected in the one with Stella (at their wedding, I assume), but the one right next to it is him beaming at his daughter.

She's the only good thing in his life and the saddest part is, she's the only one he loves who actually is willing to love him back. I really hope Blitzø works through his shit and opens up just a little to the notion of a real relationship with Stolas. Hell, just ask the motherfucker out on a real date!

It’s good to know that Bones has at least one favourite child:

They handled him and his death so damn well, they were so respectful, like look at him he’s so damn good.

The gays have in fact won this time

(If only they could do the same for Akutagawa)

Do you ever just stare at certain pictures of Joseph and Eddie and your brain kinda starts making the connection that it's actually the same face, and then you look at gifs with the body movements and facial expressions and your brain breaks again, because nope, it's not. Idk it's like a second hand multiple personality disorder or something

Like the shit voice acting in sh2 Does add to the atmosphere and dissociative qualities of the game, but it feels disingenuous to say that it was intentional. Guy Cihi wasn't and isn't an actor they just got extremely lucky that his variety of bad was to the games benefit. Dont lie to yourself and say all the actors are on the same level as monica taylor horgan. A lot of them are very close to it but guy cihi wasnt

BONES AND ALL SPOILERY post.

I still dont get (1) why the old dude doesnt attack her when she's by herself (while lee and her are split up) specially given his track record of eating dead people only. He is risk-averse. (2) why the two young cannibals cdnt take on an older dude when they regularly take on young, live prey. (3) why Luca added an injury to Lee's storyline. Lee & Maren's story shouldve ended with decisions that were taken calmly. That way it wd hv been devastating to see her eat him and then the movie ending with her being sad & all alone. As it stands the last scene in the movie is a bandaid that doesnt stop the movie from bleeding out.

I am genuinely so sad because my favorite playthrough of Hatoful isn't on YouTube anymore ☹️

It didn't have very many views, but it's one I returned to quite a few times and really appreciated. It reminded me a lot of a very particular moment in my life, if that makes sense, and I'll miss it so much.
