Did You Ever Wonder...?


Thoughts and Musings on the TMNT Cartoon



Why the turtles wear disguises?
Okay, so they wear disguises. They don't want to be seen. Fair enough. Yet surely these disguises would work more effectively if they were perhaps kept on for more than five minutes. What's the matter with fighting in clothes? Can't highly trained ninjas attack in trenchcoats?
One explanation is, I presume the fact that trousers and shirts which magically and smoothly rip off the body without the opening of buttons or zips, keep falling away at in-opportune moments.


How many yellow pant-suits April owns?
In almost every episode of the TMNT, April wears a yellow pant-suit. How many of them does she have? If she wears the same one all the time, I suppose the turtles won't have noticed, what with living in a sewer, but you'd think the people she works with would drop a hint or two; " Hey April, hear there's a two for one sale on deodorant down at the store." The other possibility of course, is that she shops exclusively at "Hideous Yellow Things r' Us"

Why the turtles sleep with their weapons?
Now I know that Shredder could attack at any moment, but their paranoia seems to have taken too much of a hold on them this time. It seems like it would be a lot easier, and more comfy, to just lay the weapons next to their beds: easy access, and none of that nasty kantana rash.

How The Shredder met Krang?
That must have been one interesting ad in the paper: 'Ruthless tyrant seeks super-villain for long walks on the beach and destroying the world. No time wasters.' Unless of course Shredder and Krang just happened to meet each other whislt, say, queueing up at the bank:
"Long queue today."
"Yep. Kinda makes me wish I ruled the world. Could do a better job."
"Well, if you ever decide to take that up, give me a call. I specialize in mindless destruction and violence. Oh, i'm also available for childrens' parties"
