Which is the better version of the origin of Splinter? - Page 2

**Kali** · 12-08-2002, 07:55 PM

Heh, I understand that a pet rat in a cage will not become a ninjutsu master. But obviously the mutagen effected Splinter's mind, and not just his body, giving him the ability to use what he'd absorbed. Like learning to talk. As a baby, we don't have the capablity to communicate very well, but as we grow we learn and are eventually able to speak. And then we read and gain knowledge. Splinter had many books on martial arts, I supect he learned most of it from that.

But the one thing I really did not like about Splinter in the cartoon was how he associated with being a rat. He used to be human, so you think he'd think like a human and associate himself as a human in a rat's body. But in the Shredder is Splintered (I think) Splinter says, "We rats can burrow through anything." I'm probably not making sense on this point, since I never could settle it out in my own mind.

I just thought it was hillarious how in the movie Hamato Yoshi was killed by Shredder, but yet all the damage Splinter recieved was a cut ear. And our fearless master did more damage to shredder than his master.....hmmmm, Yoshi must've been drunk or something, or maybe getting it on with his woman? either way he wouldn't've done much good against the shredster.....

*Nickokapo* · 12-08-2002, 08:16 PM

yeah, he killed yoshi but he couldnt kill a rat?
Or maybe he didnt wanted to kill it, but then why'd he cut his ear?

Yeah, and didnt he flee after chopping Splinty? hmmmmm, what a nerd! "Oh I've done all I can do here......quick! FLEE SHREDMAN!!!!"

he was afraid of getting rabies

**Kali** · 12-08-2002, 08:24 PM

LOL! Shredman, gotta remember that one.

But see, if Shredder had killed Splinter, then the story would be very different. Or maybe Saki just wanted to teach him a lesson. Scar Splinter, since Splinter scared Saki's face. Or maybe the cops were on their way and he couldn't finish it.

*Nickokapo* · 12-08-2002, 08:27 PM

Oh yah maybe he just wanted to scar him...well im sure glad splinter didn't died

He won't be able to use headphones anymore tho

poor him.

Or Splinter got scared and hid after the year was cut off, lets face I would, and only came out after Shred had left to morn.

maybe...........the Shredder is just a clumsy fellow I suppose, thats why he missed and only hit his ear? I dunno.......or maybe Krang bet him $20 to see if he could cut off part of a rats ear that day??? YEAH!!! That MUSE be it!! I know Krang wasnt in the story, but he shoul've.

*Nickokapo* · 12-08-2002, 08:51 PM

Yeah...it must've been krang, that gambler!

hahahahaha, they need to make the fact that he's an obsessive gambler a prominent trait in the next series......like SHredder will go try and get the turtles and Krang will say "I bet you 50 to 1 that you wont win!" hahaha that'd be great!

*Nickokapo* · 12-08-2002, 08:55 PM

Yeah...that's how he really lost his body, in a bet!

hahaha, just like how Lando Calrissian (sp?) lost the Millenium Falcon to Han Solo in star wars.....I bet theres some little kid out there with Krang's body. I'm guessing Krang lost in a bet over how many jacks he could pick up and lost of course. The kid probably stores his action figures where Krang is supposed to sit

*Nickokapo* · 12-08-2002, 09:03 PM

Krang was playing against the kid in a fight of tmnt tournament fighters for snes and lost, so he now has no body!

And now getting back to the topic...um...go...splinter!
