ITT We Quibble About Meaningless Details

Michelangelo did not allow the pizza delivery guy 30 seconds. It was more like 18-20. (I checked.)

There's no way a chain like Domino's would deliver a pizza unsliced.

:tpizza:

:tpizza:
I dunna, I'm sure if you requested it, they'd leave it unsliced.

[Discogod]

My ex used to always order unsliced pizza (she liked to eat it with a knife & fork, go figure), although I don't think we ever ordered from Domino's. Pizza Hut & Papa John's would happily leave the pizza unsliced, though.

For how long they insinuated Raph was unconscious in the bathtub at the farmhouse, (days?), you'd think they would've taken off his mask/elbow pads/knee pads, especially when putting water on him to keep him "moist", like April did. (I know the "behind-the-scenes" reason they didn't is because it would've meant sculpting new costume parts, but story-wise, it doesn't seem to make sense.)

I never thought about the logic of that before!

Perhaps it's like whenever a good citizen tends to an injured superhero; taking off his mask would destroy his identity and disrespect him. So naturally the turtles had to protect Raph's dignity in front of... uh... April & Casey.

Okay, this analogy is completely dead.

There are some problems of logic that even rabid fan boys can't justify!

[BubblyShell22]

Why would a Domino's guy not get suspicious that he's delivering pizza to someone in a sewer?

Yeah, wow never thought of that either. :lol:

How about the phone ringing for an insanely short amount of time, going to voice mail, and Casey hearing all of Charles' message to April whilst battling Foot/surrounded by the place burning down. Chyeeeah okay.

[DarkLightDragon]

During Raph's fight with the Foot on the roof, one of them disposed his two sais. At Northampton, he magically gets them back unless they made new ones for him.

I don't mean to be a pooper, but it's spelled Raph*. It wasn't explained in the film, but isn't it somewhere? Like the adaption book or something?

Oh, yeah. Slight typo. Fixed it. I don't really know if it was explained somewhere else like an adapted book or something, but it's never brought up if new ones were made for him or if they were ever recovered before they retreated to Northampton.

Thought so. Quibble solved then.

It's New York!

:tlol:

[TMNT_Master]

It's New York!

:tlol:

Hahaha! I'm just shocked that the pizza was still intact after being flipped sideways and slid vertically down into the sewer. The pizza would squished to one side and cheese would have been all over the place! :tgrin:

Well for that matter, the chances of Raph being in a non-medically induced coma for that long without brain damage is...pretty slim.

[oldmanwinters]

Yeah, wow never thought of that either. :lol:

Now that's just good cinematography.

Seriously, I've always thought that scene was both awesome and hilarious.

[Dirty Blond]

There's a line in T-U-R-T-L-E Power (the rap played during the closing credits) calling Raphael "the leader of the group."

[Jester]

There is? :P

[Donnie]

Now that's just good cinematography.

I dunno. I just thought it wasn't that realistic...it was a cool scene for Casey though!

[Leo656]

There is? :P

Yeah can't believe we're just getting around to this one. It totally says "Raphael, he's the leader of the group/transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop."

Pretty sure the dude who wrote the song only watched the movie once, had no other real knowledge of TMNT and was told to write a song about it. Because if all you go by is the movie, Raph is almost the main character, so one could be forgiven for thinking that he was the leader even though they mention Leo as the leader IN the movie.

That line always bugged me though, because I was always a huge Leo fan and at school the Raph kids would be like "Raph's the REAL leader, it says so in the song," and I'm like "You're gonna go by that over the comic, the cartoon show, and the movie itself? Riiiight." :lol:

Almost forgot: Totally didn't look like Casey had time to pick up ALL the stuff he dropped during the fight with Raph before running off after the fight in the park. But maybe that's too nitpicky. And after Casey whacks Tatsu with the golf club, in the next scene he threatens someone with an entirely different club. I never got why he would drop the one he had just to pick up a different one. Seemed pointless.

Lol, yeah and seriously if you're going to go by songs, the OT's theme clearly says "Leonardo leads." :lol:

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, exactly. That line in the song always bugged me, too for the exact same reason Leo just stated.

[Herald7]

Yes, exactly. That line in the song always bugged me, too for the exact same reason Leo just stated.

Yeah I think it was just mainly the artist needed a rhyme at that moment, lol. Because it does indeed make no sense; just because someone's the focus of a story doesn't make them the "leader." The first Xmen was all about Wolverine, but Professor X was still clearly the leader of the group.

[Koi]

Necro'ing an old thread, I know. Why does Raph get thrown in a bathtub when he gets knocked out? I have been looking around trying to figure out why all I can find is to keep him hydrated from the tmnt wiki, is that really the only reason behind it? It sounds frankly really stupid to be blunt if that is the legitimate reason behind the tub. Did I miss something being said by April in that scene or someone else?

[Leonardo87]

It has been mentioned by Partners of Kryme that they know Leonardo is the leader. The twin sai that were mentioned also is part of the extended farm house sequence that was cut from the final film which was actually shot.
