TMNT 2012 react to ROTTMNT | PART 1/4 / MIKEY (NO ANGST) 

This isnt gonna be noticed by anyone but idc, i gotta say something. Donnie's full quote in this scene is; "Actually, we're freshwater turtles. I suspect we're derived from the diamondback terrapin, but it's possible we're common box-" before being interrupted, but obviously he was going to say common box turtle. Now, if we're going off physical descriptions, there's no way the 2012 turtles are diamondback terrapins. Note they have white skin with black spots, which the boys CLEARLY don't have. You can't argue that Mikey has freckles either, because they're nowhere near resembling a diamondback terrapin's patterns. So that leave red eared sliders and box turtles. Red eared sliders have, well, red streaks on their ears. Not to mention again, white and black patterns (though this time stripes) So they clearly aren't sliders either. Which leaves the common box turtle as the last option: Now, a common box turtle has an orange-and-black spotted pattern on the skin and striped on the shell (clearly unlike our turtles), but the Eastern box turtle, however, shares a strong resemblance. It even has spots on its face that can in fact be perceived as freckles like Mikey has. Therefore, I conclude that the 2012 boys are in fact Eastern Box turtles. (also just in case you don’t know ALL turtles, unless deformed, are able to fit in their shells they just can’t completely seal shut unless they’re box turtles or musk turtles) If you can’t tell I am AuDHD and my special interest is turtles.

Finally a TMNT reaction video without too much angst. Not that I don't like angst; there's just too many angst vids without accurate canon characterization nowadays

*8:21* Actually it's not a problem, Raph, because they're all insane too so they don't mind it at all 👍

I'm really excited for this series! It looks really well made, and you have lots of good dialogue! Also, super excited for any possible angst 👀👀👀

I love this so much! Thank you for adding more content to this reaction video genre. I'm so excited! Also I think the 2012 turtles are yellow-bellied sliders, which are turtles who can retract into their shells.

OH MY GOD A NEW ONE, REJOICE!!!

I can not put into words on how much I love this

i think tmnt 2012 are a mix of turtles, like the dont have a species. Donnie makes a comment in one ep where he theories theyre a combonation of sorts. with the shell thing i think thats just what most people think every turtle can do, and the showrunners dont mind inconsistency. it happens in 2018 too, the layer games, Raph is the only one to not go in his shell then. Great job btw!

Should have added a bonus vid just to spite donni

WE LOVE NO ANGST ❤❤❤❤

Finally a tmnt reaction video with accurate reactions. Im excited for the next part!

omg, before the first tiktok even started i was like, ok, this has to have fine by lemon demon, it simply can't, and then low and behold, there it was :] oh and btw, donnie said in one of the earliest episodes that his research shows that they were most likely derived from diamond backed terrapin turtles

For box turtles - they're called turtles that can "fully enclose themselves in their shell" because their shell is on the the few species of turtles that has a hinge on the front and can protect their heads. Other turtle species can go inside their shell, but it's not fully covered! Sliders do it decently often, softshells really can only pull in their head and tuck their arms (their main form of defense is not their shell - it's their speed and defensiveness). Snappers also can technically go in their shell but its uncommon to see because their main form of defense is, y'know, their hard ass bite. I've never seen TMNT 2012 so I don't know the canon species but because you can see the arms, lack of hinges on the shell & the fact that their carapace & plastron are connected via the axillary ridge, it's probably some sort of water turtle

Omg I love it so much

Fun fact: in the 1990 movie their species was a red eared slider since it showed those turtles in the back story

Donnies tooth gap when his mouth is closed looks like black lipstick and I'm totally pretending he wears makeup now lol

Fun fact! Rise!Raph is so big because he is an alligator snapping turtle!

The angst that everyone craves for some reason : boy oh boy do i love my self some good trauma This video: LOL The angst that everyone craves for some reason : cries

(At 5:25) They're probably the only turtles, not including tortoises, that CAN'T swim.

WAIT. NO. COME BACK! COME BACK, PLEASE! NOOOOOOOO--

Box turtle are the only ones able to actually *close* their shells entirely to seal them off with them inside. While mikey does go in his shell you can still see his body parts as with any other turtles. And theres no way he could close his shell off with that much body mass in the way and despite how rubbery they are in their show weve never seen their shells close so it's unlikely they're box turtles. Its more possible that the 2k12 gang are diamond back terrapins as the textures for the turtles do include spots on all of them if you look closely at their skin. Mikey is the only one with prominent freckles per design choice though. Which if his other brothers went in the sun more like he they would probably also form them as getting freckles is a pretty dominant trait i observe in ny family. If one parent can freckle the children will to, and theyre all genetically related. If you cant tan you sunburn and freckle. Donnie shuts off in his room in the dark, Leo trains in a room away from sun, and Raph only goes out in darker areas like alleys so it's obvious they wouldn't freckle as much as Mikey does. He is the one we see in the light the most as hes often bait or just topside more.

These videos give me life

you are helping to quench my need for more 12 react to Rise, thank you for your service fr

mikey has turned into a box turtle so much in the show so i think both 2018 mikey and 2012 mikey are look differnet because of the show but are both box turtles

WAHHHHH I LOVED THIS SM THIS IS DEF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TMNT REACTION VIDEOS !!

2012 Mikey going into his shell is because they are red-eared slider’s and they can put themselves into their shells. But they also don’t look like them so it’s confusing 💀

I literally cannot wait to see the next parts! I hope there’s good angst eventually :3

Omg I am so excited for the next parts!!! Especially the reacting to Rise Raphael cuz he’s my fav!!❤

You’re Going to get more parts right?

so who's next? is it leo or is it Donnie because I've seen a lot of people doing youngest to oldest so I'm guessing raph is going to be last also in rottmnt there are two scenes where leo and Donnie go fully into their shells well Donnie was not able to because he had a cast( don't know how to spell it) on is leg

How dare u do that to raph

I actually kinda wanted angst 🥲. But it’s good to have a breath of fresh air & see new stuff, this was really well made 👍
