Splinter Disciplining the Turtles....

Okay, I've been thinking about this a lot today! Splinter was so laid back on the discipline in the 1st movie but he's all over discipling the Turtles in the 2nd movie! I mean come on! There were several instances in the 1st movie Splinter could have dropped the "10 flips now!" line. Heck, all the instances take place within the first night shown in the movie! Splinter just slacks off then takes discipline by the reins the second time around!

#1 Raphael and Donatello punching each other. The second movie comes around and Raphael and Leonardo are ordered to do flips for doing the same thing to each other! In the 1st movie, Splinter just goes "hoy" (Jap=stop)!

#2 Mike ordering pizza on the phone therefore ignoring Splinter's words of wisdom. Splinter didn't have to waste effort throwing a book clear across the room at Mike to teach him to show more respect just a simple three word sentence could go a long way in obedince!

#3 One of the Turtles, most likely Mike, rudely interrupts Splinter's concentration as he's settling down to meditate and all the Turtles (except Raph of course yet Leo's willing to when he should be setting a good example as the leader and all) are dancing as a way of "meditating"!

#4 Mike throwing the pizza up in the air and Leo slicing it with his katana sending slices every whichaway and one plops on Splinter's head. Does Splinter like the other flown slices of pizza littering the den? All he's got to say is "Hmph, kids" not "You're grown up enough so I shouldn't have to clean up after all of you. 10 flips now then keep the slices you find that aren't entirely ruined for breakfast tomorrow and discard the rest!"
