The Price Of Honour

[Margui622]

Nice video and song!! Poor Leo!! He's so caring about his family to the point he feels worthless and start to torment himself!! I understand this reaction because Splinter expects too much for Leonardo and nobody is perfect. However, when he is send up to Japan to be trained by the Ancient one, Leo's life began to change not only physically, but emotionally and he's back the way he used to be but without the burden.

[CobaltBreeze]

Season 4 struck a very strong chord...Leo has become much easier to relate to. I think it's safe to say that everyone went through that kind of thing at one point or another. It hurt, seeing him beat himself up like that... and Leo's my favourite turtle! his anger is scary, but it hurts more when you find out why he's angry... it was good though, it showed the human aspect, the thing that remains constant to everyone intelligent.

Leo's crisis added darkness to the show, which I say is good.

[lovelygirf]

@transformers07fan I'm with you Leo's my favorite 2 but in season 4 he scares me alot

[YaoiFanGirlForever]

I love how Leo kinda had a breakdown in season 4 and actually throughout the entire show.

i noticed tho that Leo became more like Raph at one point being angry, hot headed and unable to control their emotions and when that happened to Leo Raph strped up and became kinda like how Leo used to be.

Raph tried to take care of the others while Leo was having his problems. Also by having LEo go through what Raph has been going through i feel it strenged their bond as brothers

[TheZarablade]

Loved the video, it really shows me how much pain Leo endures.

[Leonardo1281]

what episode was 0:47 to 0:50

[sankonleo]

*byhyäää* this was so sad! its really make me cry!!

[PrincessOfDomino]

2:13 - 18: not very honourable

[1980supra]

wow awesome

[BeeLennon]

i luv this vid, great job!

it was great that u put in parts of the episodes in along with the music.

my favorite prt is at 27 cuz u made look as if he were really thinking of dat moment, thx 4 uploading dis vid, it's awesome! ^_^

[knights228]

1:18-1:23 what episode is that?

[BeeLennon]

dat episodes name is Dragons Rising.

good question. (*_*)

[knights228]

i think 1:18-1:22 really speak's too people

what he's saying that life isn't fun it's hard

an that some of us don't take life Serious.

[knights228]

i feel sorry for leo in some of the parts it look's like leo an raph's chy switch place's like raph's chea is in leo an leo's chea is in raph like they switch personality's with each other.

[Faunatik]

True, that's what it looks like. I think those two often fight because they're a lot more alike than it seems. They both have natural leadership and a rather stubborn personality. Leo ususally lets off steam in overtraining rather than in fighting, but he's got quite a temper too. I think the major difference is that Raph reacts violently whenever he feels offended, while Leo suppresses his feelings and lets frustration accumulate until it's too heavy and it all explodes.

[transformers07fan]

Even though Leo's one of my fave characters, he scares me sometimes when he's angry.

[MidnightHeir]

I actually rather enjoyed seeing him unravel throughout season four. It gives the fanfic writer in me something to work with, and more importantly shows that he is very human.

[transformers07fan]

Being a fanfic writer myself, you've got a point.

[GamerAshley]

What episode is 00:14-00:16? I LOVE this video!

P.S. I'm a fanfic writer too

[Faunatik]

Well said, MidnightHeir! I loved the fourth season precisely because that closer focus on the "fearless leader" showed he had his flaws too. I thought it was very interesting to see him face his own fear and anger. It gave the character more depth, because until then he had always seemed in control and we couldn't see all that was going on inside...

[BeeLennon]

i luved this vid, it was so expressive, u knew wat he goin threw. he put his heart in so much pain for blaming himself, and thought that if they didn't get the job done then they failed.

[gent777]

the episode was "city at war part one"

[transformers07fan]

@MidnightHeir You've got a very good point there. :)

[TheStarlights88]

@transformers07fan I agree with you, Leo's my favourite Turtle and I sometimes get a bit depressed when he's angry, especially in Season 4. Anger doesn't usually fit him, I mean that's Raph's hotheaded job. lol

[transformers07fan]

@TheStarlights88 Too true. Lol.

[Moviefreak321]

Okay I may be the only one but from 1:35-1:45 just made me think of Daredevil lol. Great video. Leo isn't my favorite turtle of the bunch, that'd be Mikey :D, but I hated seeing how he tortured himself and the effect everything had on him. They developed his char really well...all the chars really..but yeah Leo's development definitly made me tear up :(

[MidnightHeir]

Really? Now I'm going to have to go and watch Daredevil once again. As for fave turtles? Yea, I'm a huge Mikey fan, but everyone has their obligatory Leo!Angst video and this is mine for the collection. I've also done a tribute to Mikey too, if you want to check it out.

Thanks for dropping by,

-Hel

[makosharkman]

what is this about

[EAG1015]

This video shows just how much Leonardo tortured himself and how much he was hurting inside over the guilt he carried after the last battle with the Shredder. The poor guy just had a hard time seeing that he didn't need to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. But, as I stated before, I'm glad he's back to normal.

[MidnightHeir]

Thus proving that Leo is his own worst enemy! To the very last second, the worst thing being that he wouldn't have learnt anything from what he went through without being seperated from what he loved the most. Also, arguably, you could state that losing his family (even if temporary) really helped his POV when he got back.

[EAG1015]

At least Leo got back to his old self after Splinter sent him to train with the Ancient One in Japan.

[MidnightHeir]

That he did, its just a shame he had to fall so far in the first place.

[AkatsukiKikyou]

This was amazing! angst with no wangst (No whineing) one of my favrorite Leo videos <3

[MidnightHeir]

THANK YOU! I hate wangst, and am particularly tetchy about it, seeing it in AMV or in fanfic. To get told that I landed on the right side of the fence is a compliment that warms the bottom of my heart.

-Hel

[Sliotar909]

This is just. . .UNBELIEVABLE!!!! :O WOW. . . .Ican't get over how flippimng DEADLY this is!!! Aw, poor Leo. . .

[MidnightHeir]

Yip, he sure did go a little off the deep end in S4. But without doing that then a lot of people who don't appreciate his finer points, and how deeply Leonardo feels things, would never have believed it.

Thanks for the comment!

-Hel

[aurorametropolis]

*finds tissue* I'd never heard that song before. Juxtaposed with all the anger and violence - just wow. Very well done.

[MidnightHeir]

-offers tissue- There ya go! I like to try and find different angles, especially when it is on a topic as well covered as emo!Leo.

Once again, thanks for the compliment.

[aronoiiel]

THAT was an emotionally powerful vid. Very nicely done thank you for sharing it ^_^

[MidnightHeir]

It was honestly a pleasure - it was my first shot at angst, and I'd like to think it worked! Cheers for the comment, and keep an eye out for the next one.

[Caylenie]

Beautiful video. I love the music selection, and how you used random quotes from Leo. Great job!

[MidnightHeir]

Well they weren't intentionally random selections! They were meant to show the very shortened arc of the change that he went through.

I don't think I've ever had a video of mine called beautiful before, so for that I thank thee again!

[Caylenie]

Woops, I didn't mean like random as spontaneous, more like miscellaneous. And no prob, you deserve it!

[Karai7887]

Poor Leo! I love him... Hey! It's your guilt that I'm crying now! Buuuuu!!! I don't know how nobody around Leo haven't seen it, that he sacrifise for them! Always! ;(

Wonderful vid. Congratulations. <:)

[MidnightHeir]

Thank you, that was the emotion I was going for! So I'll carry that burden. It is ironic that for how 'bonded' they were as a family no one seemed to know how to get Leo out of his funk, honestly I always thought a bit of seriously tough love would have got through in the end.

But what the hey,

=Hel

[MaximeLoonatic2]

What song it is? I know is from Buffy slayer but I don't know the name of the song

[sydneybristow89]

"The Sacrifice"

[raphshell]

Ouch. Well I gotta say I like it. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I love TMNT. And I'm not a nerd or a 3 year old boy lol.

[MidnightHeir]

Yea, I loved Buffy too when it was on, and matching the score to this particular event just made sense.

Glad you liked it,

-Hel

[Faunatik]

Poor Leo! He's my favorite turtle because he's the one I tend to be more like...

[MidnightHeir]

Yea, that much is true - the boy did have a habit of getting beaten up.

[Faunatik]

By the way, I forgot to say that I really liked your video. The music is good and goes perfectly with the scenes. You've chosen parts that show well what's going on in Leonardo's mind. Great job! :)

[Gzpz1]

Poor Leonardo! He is my hero!

[MidnightHeir]

Ahh, he took some knocks that is for sure in this particular version.

[ayrosama]

Very touching, I enjoyed that really!!

BTW: why is there over a minute black nothing in the end?

[MidnightHeir]

I added a note to the desc. part but basically WMM (only program I got) was being an absolute ass when it came to uploading certain songs. When I figure out how to get rid of the dead space it will disappear.

Touching was what I was going for, glad to hear I hit the target.

[dinskuli]

this is so good! poor leo....

[MidnightHeir]

Yea, poor guy went through a lot in a short period of time, personally I was shocked he didn't crack sooner.

[cobanjo]

your good

[MidnightHeir]

Duly noted, and thanks for the compliment.

[Weezelee]

Wow. That was amazing. I remember watching those episodes and almost crying. Yep, I'm a baby. LOL! That was incrediable work! Great job!

[MidnightHeir]

Thanks for the compliment ... and to be honest I actually teared up when putting this together for the first time! Glad ya liked it!

[LeonardosGirl1771]

Aw...poor Leo...

[dinskuli]

cool! oohh...very sad musick.....i <3 leonardo! (yeah, really)

[luigirulz]

(Cont)and I thought Raphael would something like that.

[MidnightHeir]

Raphael would never do it because he is aware of that part of his nature.

[luigirulz]

Woah he attacked Splinter.

[NadiastephaNIe]

hoo, it's sad, really this happened with leo. He changed. Thanks for upload this video.

[MidnightHeir]

Yea, its like he died inside and that was what I hopefully caught. Glad you liked it!

[godzillastarwarstmnt]

cool! : )

[MidnightHeir]

Thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed it

[Wanequelle]

The background music was awesome. The compilation was lovely. Good job! Sometimes the music would stop or skip or something but it wasn't that noticable. :)

[MidnightHeir]

Thanks for the compliment Wane! As noted on the sidebar the music track just would NOT upload properly at all.
