Random nitpicks about random things
May. 23rd, 2013 04:37 pmTMNT-related.
- The 2007 movie: What I'll never understand is...why the hell does Leo never realize right away that Nightwatcher is Raphael? Casey Jones figured it out, Casey, the guy who's generally not presented as the sharpest tack in the box, but points out (correctly) that Nightwatcher looks like "a big, metal turtle." So why doesn't this occur to Leo? Not even mentioning the fact that he should've been familiar enough with Raph's combat style to recognize it when they start fighting, even if Raph wasn't using his sais. Not even mentioning the fact that Raph explicitly defended Nightwatcher's actions in front of Leo. Jeez, it's like Leo lost some brain cells back in the jungle or something.
- 2012 series, ep. 7 "Monkey Brains," the whole "fighting without thinking" schtick. Okay, so I'm not exactly a martial arts expert, but I'm under the impression that you can never attack without intent, and intent equals thinking. You might *react* without thinking (which is what Mikey does in the opening sequence anyways), but you can't *act* without thinking, by definition.
