YMMV / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 S 3 E 21 Same As It Never Was

• Catharsis Factor: Donatello kills the Ch'rell of this Bad Future. Beyond the simple fact that this is the case of Ch'rell actually dying with no Joker Immunity to save him, it is especially satisfying after Donatello, and the audience, have to endure the horror of a Crapsack World under Ch'rell's iron fist, along with the death of this timeline's Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo.
• Complete Monster: Ch'rell proves to be worse than ever. Taking over his own homeworld and brainwashing all Utroms to be his slaves, Ch'rell leads his army to conquering Earth, building an oppressive regime there, as he forces people to work 18 hours per day and kills anyone who dares to rebel against him. Having murdered countless members of the resistance, Ch'rell plans to use a colossal teleportation device to send his armies to many worlds, intending to spread his rule across the galaxy.
• Signature Scene: The climax of the episode where the Turtles die one by one up until Donnie murders Ch'rell with prejudice is one of the most talked about scenes of the entire series and franchise for how shockingly dark it is.
