Yes, that is a nitpick, but it hasn't been established at any point that Donnie would alterhis trained fighting techniques to uses sub-standard weapon. I'm just going off the point that this is supposed to be a "realistic" portrayal of the TMNT.

and i get that bro, i do. but realistic or not, we are still talkin' about giant, mutated turtles that know ninjitsu.

one could argue that the Avengers was done realistically (as much as the subject matter allowed), but look at all the fantastical elements to it.

a retractable bo on the otherhand, feasible in this world, imo.
