Tfw your talking with your friends on discord at 3am about the recent persona 5 news and you realize canonically giving joker a grappling hook is good shitpost fuel
Are little girls with grappling hooks a thing now?
(I mean, not that I have anything against little girls with grappling hooks - I just want to make sure I’m not seeing a pattern where none is present.)
Important TMNT Discovery!
After conducting hours of extensive research (aka binge watching the second half of TMNT season 4), I think I’ve finally discovered the real reason why Donatello is noticeably thinner than his brothers. I have included samples of my findings below . . .
Sample #1: ‘Mutant Gangland’
When a bunch of ruthless gangsters attack Raph, Donnie, and Mondo Gecko from above, Raphael uses his trusty grappling hook to swiftly take to the rooftops and swing into action.
Donatello, however, chooses to scale up the side of the building without the aid of his grappling hook. Clearly, he’s trying to burn off several hundred extra calories in order to maintain his lean figure.
Sample #2: ‘The Power Inside Her’
All three of Donnie’s brothers are quick to whip out their grappling hooks so they can easily pull themselves up to the top of the multistory Channel 6 News building.
Donatello, on the other hand - Well, I believe the pictures speak for themselves here . . .
The brainiac turtle is obviously a workout nut, bound and determined to stay fit, trim, and ‘svelte.’ Unlike his brothers, he doesn’t take shortcuts when it comes to cardiovascular activities. As a bona fide genius, he knows just how important regular exercise is to one’s health.
However, upon further research, I strongly recommend that Donatello cease and desist his strenuous training regimen as soon as possible, for it has proven to have harmful side effects on the turtle in purple. Please take a moment to examine the irrefutable evidence below . . .
Exhibit #1: ‘Mutant Gangland’ (after climbing up to the rooftop)
Exhibit #2: ‘The Power Inside Her’ (again, after climbing up to the rooftop)
*We all remember this horrifying moment . . .
In conclusion …
While Donatello may like to forgo using his grappling hook to keep excess pounds off, the data I have collected indisputably shows that this behavior leads to nothing but pain and suffering for the poor terrapin. If Donnie’s brothers ever catch him in the act of climbing up the side of a building without his grappling device again, they need to immediately drop everything they’re doing and drag his shell all the way back to the lair. 😆
Save Donatello! 💜
Happy Flinthook day! The game only launched on Tuesday, but after you have mastered the grappling arts you will be pleased to know that our poster and two Flinthook t-shirts are already available and shipping now.
