Rocksteady and Bebop: why they are dumb

[Sage Ninja]

I have been mulling over this for a while and since in the first season R+B didn't apear so damn stupid as they did later on I have been wondering why. Now some one commented that Rocksteady and Bebop wheren't so much as dumb as they where just typical un-educatated street punks, and later as the series progresses they really get dumber and dumber to the point of almost retardation, and here is what I think


Bebop and Rocksteady where mutated with animals that are of an inferior intelligence to that of a human, and the turtles where mutated with a human (Yoshi/Splinter) that is of a supior intelligence to turtles. it not unreasonable that the one that was mutated would take on not only the physical aspects of what they where mutated with, but their persona and intelligence as well. Look at Baxter Stockman, he was a brilliant man when human but when he mutated with a fly he started to take more of a fly personality and inferior intelligence.

Maybe when the the turtles came in contact with Yoshi all the genetic makeup for human kind where transferred into them and all the potential of human...advancement was in them. The turtles in theory could be in a more advanced state than normal humans because of the mutation.
