Do You Think (Future) Casey Jones is Cassandra’s Kid?
It’s been revealed that the mysterious stranger from the future will be a male Casey Jones, and ever since I’ve been wondering how this will be incorporated into the story when Rise already has Cassandra/FR. There has been talk that the creators were retconning the reveal, but there was a recent that said otherwise. So, I’m wondering if future Casey is Cassandra’s son (hopefully with April; I’ve shipped them for a while) but she passed away and Leo named him after her. I can’t really think of another reason why he is named Casey other than that. If any of you have other theories, lmk. I like discussing with other fans.
So one thing that’s been living rent-free in my head since I watched the episode „The ancient art of ninja hide and seek“ is this weird hotel room where the brothers have their final showdown of the episode, you know just showing off their newly acquired skills
You know this one.
And it just could have been that the creators thought „hey, let’s just use a random hotel room for this scene“ but the thing that’s been bugging me is that this doesn’t look like a randomly chosen room at all
It doesn’t even look like a regular hotel room
It is hidden behind a secret door and the turtles only get there by pure accident and as we can see in the background that other rooms have regular doors. Heck, this room is so well hidden that even Splinter can’t find the entrance even though he was standing right in front of it.
Another thing is how the room is furnished. It is very blatant that this room isn’t meant for guests to stay in. The entire room has been personalized, there are posters on the wall, we have a car bed and a surfboard, there are vinyl records scattered across the floor and the bed isn’t made. Overall it looks very much lived in.
What I noticed, that was also kind of weird is how accessible the rest of the hotel seems to be from this room as seen with how out of every corner Big Mama‘s goons pop out of more hidden doorways.
The only use I could see in this room is if it was the room of one of the employees because that seems like the only logical answer for this kind of room since who else would need this level of accessibility.
But there is still one more thing. In this episode all of the employees we see on screen are adults and I don’t think it’s the room of any of the goons we see in this episode. Why? Well because this room looks like it belongs to a teenager. The posters, the general messiness and choice in furnishings all don’t give off the vibe of the inhabitant being an adult and look more like how a teenager would decorate and upkeep their room.
My personal headcannon (and explanation) for this room is that this is the room of Big Mama‘s Assistant, you know the person who’s been confirmed to be the turtles missing sister. It would make sense for this to be her room since she’s the only character I can think of that would fit all of the criterias for this room, since A she is employed by Big Mama and it would make sense to keep her room as such separated from the guests rooms but still central to get around the hotel quickly. And B she would be the turtles age, between early and mid- teens, at this point in the story. If this is the case and the room is in fact belonging to the sister (Frida) it would also serve as a nice foreshadowing if the turtles kind of indirectly interacted with their sister before actually meeting her
THERE'S A FUCKING NORSE MYTHOLOGY REFERENCE IN BLOODY RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT?!!!???
Okay, first off, the only reason I know this is because I did a presentation on the Norse god Odin for school, so like, Kudos to my teacher.
The following will state the reasons I believe that Baron Draxum is a Norse mythology reference to Odin, the Norse God Of War.
ANYWAYS!
We can see that Baron Draxum is first shown as,
DRAXUM!
--A menacing, towering figure with two "gargoyles" perched on each of his shoulders respectively in a bird-like manner. Both these creatures also have bird-like qualities, resembling monstrous crows with beady red eyes.
--Obsessed with war against humanity, or just war in general. (At least in season one.)
--Can be described as God-like. He literally refers to himself as Baron Draxum, Baron meaning a person of royal nobility or high status, also commonly being referred to as "Lord."
Now, why am I going around saying he's a Norse Mythology reference?
Well, just listen to the charecteristics of Odin, Norse God Of War!
ODIN!
---A menacing, towering figure with two crows perched on each of his shoulders respectively in a bird-like manner.
--Obsessed with war within humanity, or just war in general.
--Is literally God-like. He's a God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that not enough to convince you? Good, because it wasn't for me either!
Whats the real kicker? The undeniable evidence that this is truly a reference?
LAUGHS EVILLY!
Well you see, the names of the gargoyles belonging to Baron Draxum are "Huggin and Munnin."
And the names of Odins crows?
HUGINN AND MUNINN!
And just like Odin's Huginn and Muninn, Draxum's Huginn and Muninn fly around and gather him info and run his errands.
Huginn means Thought,
Muninn means Memory.
Anywho, I've literally never seen anybody else talk about this ever, so if I could be the first, I think that would be AWESOME!!! (But I doubt I am...)

K, I'm done rambling. Back to the shadows I retreat!
Rottmnt analysis
So, in the episode Pizza Puffs(season 2 episode 5b), Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Meat Sweats all consumed a Mystic poison (that was in some pizza puffs). They all had different side effects, and I think that's because the poison used their personality against them.
For example, Donnie names a lot of things after himself.
Donnie: So I build, behold Donnie Town! Donnie : Also known as Donnie-apolis, Donnie Estates, Park La Donnie, Donna-Stan, Notre-Don or Donnie-Stan to Noble I still haven't landed on one...
Announcer: Really a last minute entry. Introducing Dronatello!
Shelldon: Dronatello? Donnie? What are you doing here?
It only makes sense to give him another being that is related to him but not the same as him. He did even go on to name this "TummyTello".
Mikey, with all his Razzmatazz, flips, and tricks, is incredibly flexible, almost like he doesn't have bones or his bones are incredibly flexable.
Mikey: This situation calls for a dose of my psycho-acrobatics!"
This is why his side effect from the poison was jelly bones.
Leo's personality is often based on him being the face man. He talks a lot about his looks and some could say he implys a lot of time (if he doesn't just say it) that he is "on fire", with both his looks and his actions.
Leo: Leon’s on fire tonight boys.
This is why he is literally on fire as a result of the poison.
The poison also played with his love of puns. At one point he said, "I don't feel so hot," and then his head caught of fire almost immediately after.
As for meat sweats, we all know that he is (a little more than) a bit narcissistic.
Meat sweats: Look at me boat race. All sorts of handsome is me.
This is why, when he ate the poisoned pizza puffs, he had a bunch of himself on his body. This is because all he thinks about is himself.
Going off of this, what do you think Raph's side effect would have been if he had eaten some of the pizza puffs?
