I Love These Moments When Donatello Is Trying To Be A Grumpy Emotionally Unavailable Boi, Yet He Can’t

learning that splinter used to be an attractive young action star who dated multiple women, went racing and enjoyed his youthful celebrity life

finding out splinter later found love with some random woman he had never met before, developing a strong and sensual relationship, and later planning to propose to her only for her to betray him and trap him in a death arena forcing him to fight for years. and then said death arena getting to be so taxing and exhausting for Splinter that he swore off fighting and later grew to understand the value of protecting those who are innocent only to once again see his body and DNA used to create violent experiments that will most likely endure the same pain and hardships he did, so he breaks out and saves them only to be mutated at the last minute thanks to an explosion he had no control over. and how the series makes it explicitly obvious that he still misses his human days of being loved and adored to the point where even the battle nexus can sometimes be a pleasant memory for him and he still misses the woman who trapped him in the battle nexus for years and refused to let him leave and enjoy life once more. and yet despite all of this he’s still loving and supportive of his family and feels no ill towards his children, often trying to do what he can to make him happy and making self sacrificial choices for their happiness and safety because he loves them that much and rottmnt splinter is just so good guys

Still thinking about these dorks

In the books, society consisted of only animals. In the movie, that's been mixed with both humans and feral/humanoid animals. Why is that?

Pierre Perifel (director): "So, a few reasons. The first is, from the beginning, I wanted to do something that is different. The big idea in the film is that those are legendary characters that we wrote stories about and are afraid of, and it really comes from a human standpoint, you know? When you write about the Big Bad Wolf, it's a human idea it's not another animal idea. I didn't wanted to end up with the idea that those were predators in a world of preys, that would've been full on Zootopia. First of all, that concept is not exactly what I wanted to tell as a story, the story was like, we are having these characters which are prejudices, or we're prejudices against them. It was all about stereotyping and not about prey vs predator, you know? We thought 'hang on. How would a giraffe react to a piranha? They wouldn't care. But we, as humans, we do care.' and so therefore, for me, it's a metaphor our fears, these characters are a metaphor for our fears and it was important to just get the rest of the world as humans. They're really just wearing masks, they're criminal wearing masks, they're scary people wearing masks of scary animals. And Marmalade is the same thing, it's stereotyping something that is cute but is actually the opposite of that. So, it was important to keep the human standpoint on prejudice."X
