Normally I'm more into human -> mutant rat Splinter than rat -> mutant rat Splinter, because it makes more sense to me for this stoic Ninja master to have been human around some point than some rat who knew ninjitsu. The direction Mutant Mayhem took with him was so good, though. Like, he actually felt like a rat who became a single father. Them taking up martial arts to protect themselves (from training videos) works PERFECTLY in the cartoon logic of the world. Nothing takes itself too seriously but nothing is so weird as to break immersion. Wow this movie is good.

#yes i am looking at you bayverse #like if im remembering right their rat dad was inexplicably japanese and taught them ninjitsu from an ancient scroll #cant remember if he was ever owned by a ninja master like in the original lore but still #it takes itself so seriously and its explanations are silly as shit #mutant mayhem is tonally perfect #tmnt #mutant mayhem #mutant mayhem spoilers #should mention here that I also enjoy the bayverse movies im just making a comparison
