![]() This isn’t a place to beat other people down to take out rage and hold emotions, as the big conversation between Leo and Casey takes place after they leave. Sheena mentions that the fight club is a good way to blow off steam, but it’s also a place to meet new people and build community. It’s beyond refreshing to have issues like this where heroic characters can just lay it all out and be real, and there isn’t some other character or part of the world telling them to stow those emotions away or “act tough” or any of that nonsense. We get two characters here, two male characters at that, talking about their emotions and how lost they feel as the world keeps changing around them. ![]() ![]() Leonardo has been my favorite of the turtles forever (Jennika is creeping closer to being tied with him), and what Sophie Campbell does here with him, and by extension, Casey Jones too, is utterly fantastic. No one feels flat or extraneous here, this is a fully lived-in world full of complex characters. One of the many things that have been fantastic about this series is the care and dedication put into developing each and every character, from the Splinter clan members to their close allies to their foes and even all the new characters. Especially as he notices his siblings (and others beyond them) forming various romantic and friendly relationships that help them fill their time. Always the leader and a sensei, it makes sense that Leonardo currently is the one member of the Splinter Clan that seems to be having trouble finding his place in this new world order.
