Is Donatello a creep? An insidious predator? Or an endearing delusional nerd? Does the 2012 series get in its own way and ruin its best moments with gags and shenanigans or is it a well balanced cartoon? Why can't it always be as good as the shredder fights? We answer these questions and more on Episode 277 of The Ninja Turtle Power Hour as we cover three more episodes of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon.

We cover Episode 7 Monkey Brains, Episode 8 Never Say Xever and Episode 9 The Gauntlet.
