"The good guys win, and the bad guys lose"
I just find that part of the theme song...off-putting. Considering that the turtles have lost multiple times in this show. Sometimes they don't exactly "win", but it's not really a loss either.

Repeat: Its a kids show. The good guys always win in every children's cartoon.

They may lose some battles along the way but they always win in the long run.

That aside, I wouldn't pay any attention to it at all. It rhymes. How many kids actually pay attention anyway? It's like the Animaniacs opening when they changed one of the lines to "We pay tons of income tax" from "While Bill Clinton plays the sax". I doubt any kid cared...but it rhymed... |

You can lose battles and still win the war.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's to make the theme song sound catchy, that's it. Besides, "the bad guys win and the good guys loose" doesn't sound right.

Well if we're being honest here you might wonder what kind of lyrics "Heroes in a half-shell, Turtle Power!" are anyway.

"The good guys win, and the bad guys lose" is one of the most general fiction themes ever. |

I believe this what the turtles themselves thought when they were younger and more naive. They believed that the good guys always won, and the bad guys always lost. Also, it rhymes.

It's just a catchy little rhyme is all. Not everyone wins everything, but I believe the song is implying that at the end of the day, Shredder's going to lose the war.

With the season finale, this line shouldn't be in due to the fact that's it's a complete lie.
