I’d love to, “but I work a 9 to 5, so I’d like to fight crime from, like, 6 to 9.”

Are you evil? Tell me how’s your laugh?? I’m seeking someone with a troubled past.

Destroy the world is all you will desire and it’s pic for pic - your face, and I’ll reply.

(Goddamn I could hear your comment . . )

Man, this would be a cool TV show. They just need some ninja suits and learn some martial arts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes and give them names of Italian renaissance artists for no reason.

Samurai: Man I friggin hate turtles. Off to the sewer I go.

[–] Geek_King 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, their sewer home was pretty cozy and well furnished.

Only because we can't smell a TV show.

And because of the TV rule that every protagonist home must be unrealistically spacious and well-appointed compared to their stated income bracket and other factors. Unless the protagonist is canonically rich af, then they just play it straight.

The million dollar idea! Smell-o-sense TV! I still stand by the my statement that the Ninja Turtle's home looked cozy, I can't speak to the aroma. Depending on the iteration of the turtles, sometimes it's more of an abandoned subway station and not a raw sewage system.

[–] EmpathicVagrant 1 points 1 year ago

Didn’t a show at one point do ‘smell-o-vision’? I can’t recall who though.

They’re so cute 🥹 I would def watch the live-action remake.

They wore trenchcoats and fedoras to pass as human. They didn't have to live in the sewer. Humans were dumb as shit if they could be so easily fooled by just coats and hats that clearly still had their giant turtle heads exposed!

Turtle 1: naw I wanna eat some rat Turtle 2: same here Turtle 3: where’s my knife Turtle 4: got the grill going. Let’s fucken EAT

You are not wrong since Splinter was a rat in the original comics but a mutant human in the TV series.

You're not correct either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I like the "splinter was a human" versions better. Despite everything absurd in TMNT, it's how easily he just learns ninjitsu that seems impossible to me. In one version he learns it from a single book in the sewers!

[–] Landmammals 2 points 1 year ago

I stand corrected. Thanks, I learned something today!
