Top 5 delusions in the TMNT universe

[onyx]

5. If Raph sticks his sai into any machine, it lets out sparks and breaks down.

We've seen it countless times, in both the old toon and the new one. It doesn't matter what it is - a generator, a vehicle, a computer... The sai seem to be the ultimate machine enemy. Instructions - just jab with the sai anywhere on the machine and it will stop working. Guaranteed. Bonus - lots of sparks.

4. The turtles are sweating.

And not only that, it seems to be mostly (if not always) Don. They aren't supposed to do that, are they?

3. No matter how compicated it is, Don can always fix\make it.

Don appears to have some super-mind-powers that we're unaware of. He's not just your regular geek who can write a mIRC script or, god forbid, a whole website platform. Besides his excellent skills in programming, he's also a brilliant ingeneer, a mechanic, a scientist and a pilot. And that is with close to no financial resources... I keep wondering where he gets all the parts and tools needed He knows everything about computers, TV, electricity, hellicopters, robots, submarines, rockets, alien technology he never saw, future technology that isn't even invented in his time and so on, and so on. And on top of that, he had time to become a ninja. Go figure.

2. Wearing a hat and clothes or some stupid mask will let you walk unrecognized in the streets despite the fact that you're a mutant turtle.

Come on, they are short, they looks fat because of the shells, they are all green, they have 3 fingers and 2 toes. Clothes can't hide that. Any normal person would instantly notice that they aren't human. But yet they walk in the streets and even talk to people. Sometimes even without masks on their green faces. Not that a rubber mask would make them more human, but a turtle face smiling at you on the street is simply ridiculous.

1. The turtles are telepathic and are always where the action is.

You name it - anywhere in New York and even all around Europe (in the old toon), in the future, the past or in space - whereever a villain plots his plans, the turtles are there. Yes, they do read minds. Yes, it's scary.

That's my top 5, I'm looking forward to seeing yours This thread is meant simply for fun, so please, let it be like that instead of trying to explain things in a realistic way. Let's just laugh a bit

These are not delusions, sugar. These are FACTS.

*to iris* Don't hit me in front of everyone please.

the tmnt actually have 3 toes the extended heel is actually a toe

[Masked Ninja]

I don't mind the sweating, because they couldn't pull off those crazy ninja moves and be cold-blooded at the same time. That's some mutagen!

How about "Swords can easily slice through staves and wooden weapon hafts - except when they can't." Sometimes they'll play it realistic (the blade nicks or maybe gets stuck a little into the wood) and sometimes that thing will snap like it's made of straw.

Correlary of the sai delusion - "While the sai is causing the machine to spark alarmingly and short out, Raph never suffers electrical shock if he happens to be holding the sai at the time."

"Bad guys are always horrible shots. The Turtles can often stand still and have an entire strategic discussion, while lasers and bullets harmlessly pepper the ground around them. Meanwhile, when the TMNT or their allies get their hands on a gun, they often have enough skill to hit whatever they're aiming at, first shot."

Which is why the children's cartoon niche can get slightly annoying, even when the maturity factor gets pushed as far as they'll let it for Saturday morning TV.

You might want to rething your first statement there. Ever considered how hard it is to get shots so close without hitting the target? That's impeccable marksmanship! Besides, the bad guys knew better than to let harm come to the stars of the show. They knew that the tv execs would never go for The Bebop & Rocksteady Hour or The Iron Fist of Shredder. Us fans might have loved 'em, but we don't get to greenlight the spin-offs.

Not to mention pull those moves off with bodies made of bone which shouldn't even be as flexible as it is. hehe...

Answer for Raph: Leather insulation.


Turtles actually have 5 fingers, 4 toes..why the TMNT have only 2 toes (and a supposed opposite heel/toe which makes no sense to me) and two fingers and opposable digit, I'll never know.

Well where would you like me to hit you then?

[DrSpengler]

One thing that irritates me about the new show, and to an extent, the old show, as well:

There is practically NO traffic in New York City. Have any of you ever *been* there? It's gridlocked day and night! Yet the TMNT are always prowling the streets which are completely empty.

[Anarky]

What always bothered me
How do the TMNT pee?
They do not have a dong
neither short nor long.
And they never wear clothes
no matter how hard the wind blows.
So face it, dude
They are nude!
So my question is this
How do the TMNT pi**?

...yes, I was feeling poetic.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

I'm sorry, reading those just makes me laugh. It's too funny.

Here's a delusion.

Leonardo can seem to slice and mask or clothing off someone without even leaving a slight scratch. That just kind wierds me out. Especially in Prodigal Son when he cut Karai's helmet completley off despit only salshing the front of it.

If the their plastron goes up their butt, and they IMPLY they use the toilet ...HOW do they use the pot when they #1 have a plastron that goes up their butt and #2...have no tails?



I honestly don't see what would be SOOOOO bad about not drawing tails...Donnie suddenly grew a HUGE one when he was temporarily mutated into GameraDon....

[Spawn Guy]

With difficulty.

For them - maybe not.
But what about their Sensei, huh?
