#splinter why

[tmntxthings]

So I just rewatched the first episode of tmnt 2k12 and wow is it different from watching it as a kid!

Below the cut is me ranting/questioning/commenting on all the choices made 💀 (mainly splinter’s) cause I need to get this out and if anyone else wants to add on or chat with me about it, PLS DO ❤️

Okay so what bugged me the most, throughout the entire first episode was realizing that Splinter, who was a human and turned into a mutant rat, doesn’t educate the turtles about ANYTHING human???

The setup they have is that basically for fifteen years the turtles haven’t left the sewers due to Splinter’s disapproval/orders/parental control! They’ve only eaten algae and worms??? And the only thing Splinter ever taught them was independent defense, (cause boi did they look rough tryna save April from the kraang)!

Like I don’t understand why Splinter doesn’t go with them when it’s their first time going up on the surface! Or why they have no knowledge of pizza or any other foods! It’s like Splinter decided his human life was over and he’d just adjust to a sewer life and not even think about the surface?!

Only now the boys are begging to go and so he’s like quickly telling them to avoid strangers, and bathrooms, and how to cross the street 💀 LIKE SIR if you are sooooo worried about them, why ain’t you up there too???????

I get that he lost everything, his wife, his daughter…👀… his home, his humanity! So who knows what they will do to a person, but if he’s apparently happy/satisfied with how his life is now, that he gained four sons, why not actually teach them about the world they are living under????

Idk maybe it’s because of how logical Mutant Mayhem Splinter was, he was a rat turned mutant, so he didn’t actually have any experience other than being a rat yet as a mutant he took a chance and went to the surface with all the tots! But that ended so badly that he lives in fear of going back up to the surface! The boys all are eating regular human food/getting groceries and are very knowledgeable about humans and society above! I don’t know if that’s due to splinter or due to technology but STILL, it’s wayyyyy more believable!

These were things that just took me off guard while rewatching! And that was just episode one… did anyone else have similar thoughts about 2k12 Splinter??? Like what?!?!
