The concept of the turtles wishing they were human so they could be part of society and not have to live in a sewer as vigilante freaks is understandable. Why wouldn't they? Where it falls apart is this new purple ooze gives them the power to do so! It's gone from being a dream or a longing to fit in to an actual reality! So why the hell wouldn't they do it??? They can't be human and fight crime at night like Casey Jones, or just live a normal life without being in constant danger for being a freak? NO! Because based on Leo's logic, they are turtles whether they like it or not. Well... Not really. They are 7 foot tall, mutated, turtles who have teeth, speak English, eat pizza, and fight crime. They far more identify with being human than being turtles! So is Leo's message that they shouldn't change what they were meant to be??? Well, it wasn't their fault they were mutated and grew up as one of a kind freaks in a sewer! Why not use the mutagen to turn back into regular turtles!!!

Once again, the concept of them longing to be human so they can escape a life of being a gross super mutant is fine. Where it falls apart is that one shot where Donnies hand grows five fingers. You've taken an unrealistic dream that they have to accept is never going to happen, to an actual possible reality. If I was Raph, I'd kick Leo's ass, become human, and live a normal life. After all, why are they fighting crime again??? Oh yeah, because Splinter knew they would need to defend themselves from ridicule. Ok? Turn human! Problem solved.
