Though the bigger question has always been... what was Leo's leadership lesson supposed to be there, anyway? The best theory is Splinter sent him away just to see how long it'd take him to say "hey, **** this noise" and come right back. Can't be a leader if you're just following every order yourself, right?

There were a lot of things that weren't explained. Why in Central America and how did he even get there? I guess he wore a human disguise or something but he still needed to pay for stuff and I doubt they'd let him keep swords on the airport. Unless maybe he just took a boat and sailed there.

But what WAS the reason why the group stopped fighting? Was there some sort of major team squabble that made Splinter say. "That's it, you idiots can't get along. Leo, go to Central America and I'll be sure to pay your way with money I don't have and that will somehow make you a better leader because you'll be doing stuff yourself. Yeah, you won't be in command of anything so that will somehow hone your skills as a leader. I apologize, I've been smoking something."

The ironic thing is, it didn't make him a better leader at ALL! He became a hypocrite, criticizing Raph's alter ego because he was a vigilante, when the Turtles and Casey are vigilantes yet he doesn't have a problem with that. And it's not like Raph's vigilante ego was unusually cruel to criminals, like killing them or something. If so, I might understand why Leo would be pissed but there's no reason for him to dislike this vigilante.

He was arrogant stating that he was overall better than Raph, when he's supposed to be more humble. He even states that it's absurd for the Raph to go out in a costume fighting crime, when that's what the Turtles DID before and SHOULD have been doing instead of wasting time having jobs. This movie was a mess.
