As cool as they are, two-handle nunchucks are very impractical. You’re basically striking someone with a thick stick that takes longer for the hit to connect. You’re better off with the long three-handle ones and even those might be questionable.
Gotta hand it to you that ending was very clever and I assume that any long time fans of the original show will catch that something is up before the gag is revealed.

Fun Theory: each turtle’s weapon is given to them to teach them to compensate for their flaws. Mikey is a wildcard and clumsy so he’s given Nunchaku, a weapon that could easily damage the user if not handled carefully. Donny is tech savvy and smart so he is given a simple wooden bo staff. Raphael is hotheaded and aggressive so he’s given Sai, a traditionally defensive weapon. Leo is meant to be a leader capable of making tough, inevitable decisions like killing so he is given swords.

The reason Mikey uses nunchucks is _because_ they are ineffectual, inefficient, flashy, and difficult to use properly. He's actually so good with his brothers' weapons of choice that he gets bored of them, when it comes to hand to hand combat he's consistently the most skilled turtle. Thus also his predilection in all adaptations to flip to other weapons and master them quickly, like tonfa or just carrying a grappling hook around.

No mikey in most iterations is actually good with his weapons. Now if your saying he can use donys bo or Ralph's sais or Leo's swords then youd be wrong because splinter trained his sons in these weapons since they were little.

Ya. Rob Paulsen is the only person to have voiced 2 different turtles in different shows. He was also credited in the 2018 show as a vocal coach or something, and alot of the 2012 actors are in the 2018 show, lik3 the actor for 2012 mickey, Greg cipes, is a robot inv3nted by donnie in 2018 and Mona Lisa in 2012 is casey jones in 2018. The 2018 casey jones actress does a really fantastic job, you can tell she is having a blast voicing the character. They make a bunch of references to the other turtles too, like donnie has a theory about a multiverse of turtles and shows a theory board with pics of all other turtles on it, and ice cream kitty shows up as a statue in an art museum or something. In conclusion, anyone involved on any tmnt show is great and has lots of love for the characters, and they all respect all the interpretations which is great, and while 2012 turtles are prob my fav, I love all the tmnt boys and 2018 get way to much dislike and shpukdnt have been canceled early.
No, it’s the dumbest thing Splinter has said. Karate can defeat guns, they just need to dodge the bullets really quick with some jutsu and karate chop the guns in half.
Ok , the joke aside . In cannon the ninja turtles are bullet proof . The villains used lasers , because that was the only way they could actually hurt them .
Lol, only in the Bay-produced films. The laser thing in the cartoon was to get around the strict regulations against violence in children's shows. That's also why they mostly fought robots.
@@a.m.4090; I'm a big fan of the first film (the most comics-accurate one so far). They weren't invincible in that movie, but I actually cared about the characters. That's the most important part for me; as long as I'm invested, the rest is just details.
The best part about the ending is that the original show actually had errors where the turtles would swap masks and their voices would come out of the wrong guy
@@LeaderCastleMario I looked it up and the bullet is one that when it hits something expands. Though I'm still confused about what Donnie is wearing. Is he wearing the shell or just the mask?
you can. Place the gun on the ground (just secure it so it accidently won't go off) and you can kick it and even beat with nunchucks to your heart's content.
Fun fact. Most active shooters in the USA are stopped either by the police or by a hero subduing the shooter using his bare hands. Very few are actually stopped by other people with guns. If you can sneak on the shooter, and are better at wrestling, you can actually beat someone with a gun.
@@JavierGomezX That's wrong. In the US almost EVERY active shooter case, like 95-99% of the time, someone with a gun stops the active shooter. Either police with guns, other hero with a gun, or the active shooter commits suicide.
Fun fact: Real Ninjas used guns, lots and lots of guns, and explosives, and cannons, and just gun powder, infact it's said that the various ninja clans invented over 200 types of gunpowder!
One man's "invented over 200 types of gunpowder" is another's "such low standards of quality that there was absolutely no consistency in the formula or product."

"you can't beat guns with karate." Every 80s martial arts movie: "but... Our master told... With discipline... And achieve everything we want... I... We..."
Lmfao. This reminds me when several of my coworkers discovered I'm a black belt in tae Kwon do and they joked what would I do in a dangerous situation. And my reply was to get my shotgun from under the bed that's been prepped for home invasion. The looks on their faces was priceless. Like they thought martial arts studios teach anti gun beliefs. Well, mine didn't at least.
Anti-gun imo is the opposite of the restraint and wisdom typically lauded of martial arts. Absolutely zero reason to place yourself in harm's way against an unknown assailant when you have the correct tools for the job.
"You can't beat guns with karate" Tell that to Kiryu Kazuma, who can supposedly beat John Wick and has canonically beaten similar gun wielding enemies with his bare fists lmao.
After a bit of thinking, I realized something. Canonically, Batman is in the same universe as the turtles and frequently uses karate to beat guns. Splinter might have a bit more to learn apparently.
0:56: "Yeah as it turns out our freakishly large finger "Claw Things" don't really fit in the holes so no luck on that." Desert Eagle: Am I a joke to you?
That gag at the end was literally perfect. The entire time I was wondering why they didnt use a pic of Donny since they were doing his voice and it all came around
He went through the lengths of keeping on his mask bathed in the blood of his brother just to look like Raphael. I never made Donny to be so sick and hilariously cruel.
This makes me think of a gag idea where 2 of the turtles swap weapons before their fight with Shredder, and he mixes them up. When they call him out on it by pointing out the bandana colors, it either turns out he’s color blind, or he calls them out by asking whether it’s more likely their primary fighting style changed, or they switched colors, pointing out they’re identical
This was Brilliant, the writing was totally on point and the Hollow-point part made me lose it when we got the reveal Also love the voice for Donny it reminds of Rob paulson in the 2012 nickelodeon series.
@@coldnova1037Yes Rob Paulsen was The voice of Raphael from the 1980's TMNT show And then they brought him back as Donny's voice for the Nikolodeon 2012 show.
Shredder can actually move quick enough to deflect bullets with his sword. This is because he too has been mutated by the ooze, but the first DNA he was in contact with was another human, so instead he just became a super human. Question is how that sword is made so strong against bullets. A sword that can withstand a hit from a bullet is going to be pretty heavy. Unless.. Space Steel? Idk...
Funny enough in the original Mirage Comics (and also in the 2003 adaptation) Raph managed to steal, use and shoot a laser pistol with pretty decent accuracy.
Funny thing is there is a good ninja trick to fighting against guns, it's called don't be in the line of fire. If a guy with a gun can't see you it's harder to shoot you.

There is a Ninja Turtles comic book where Raphael discovers the joy of guns and shoots a bunch of dudes. It's called "Bodycount". I'm not kidding.

I dare not look up that comic. It's gonna ruin my childhood forever
@@Salmon_Lamb0 Ah I wouldn't say it'd ruin it. It's genuinely really out there and impossible to take seriously. It's more like one long like, robot chicken sketch or something.
@@Salmon_Lamb0 Then your are not ready to experience TMNT. Most of the comic runs are very dark, even the 2003 series was dark albeit to a much lesser extent.
Rob Paulsen voice acted Raph in the old cartoon, and then Donny in the cg nick cartoon, so this actually makes sense.
Really?
It’s funny too because in rise he voiced a rat version of Donnie (not actually him but a villain, very hilarious used 2012 voices for Mickey (evil fish Mikey ig) and the newest voice of Leo in 2012 for the evil Leo, and then 2012 Donnie’s voice for him so very Great reference and resemblance
Ya. Rob Paulsen is the only person to have voiced 2 different turtles in different shows. He was also credited in the 2018 show as a vocal coach or something, and alot of the 2012 actors are in the 2018 show, lik3 the actor for 2012 mickey, Greg cipes, is a robot inv3nted by donnie in 2018 and Mona Lisa in 2012 is casey jones in 2018. The 2018 casey jones actress does a really fantastic job, you can tell she is having a blast voicing the character. They make a bunch of references to the other turtles too, like donnie has a theory about a multiverse of turtles and shows a theory board with pics of all other turtles on it, and ice cream kitty shows up as a statue in an art museum or something. In conclusion, anyone involved on any tmnt show is great and has lots of love for the characters, and they all respect all the interpretations which is great, and while 2012 turtles are prob my fav, I love all the tmnt boys and 2018 get way to much dislike and shpukdnt have been canceled early.
What about the 2003 one?
Real TMNT fans disqualify any of the Nickelodeon garbage from being part of the TMNT mythos.

"You can't beat guns with karate" Truer words have spoken until now
you can. Place the gun on the ground (just secure it so it accidently won't go off) and you can kick it and even beat with nunchucks to your heart's content.
Fun fact. Most active shooters in the USA are stopped either by the police or by a hero subduing the shooter using his bare hands. Very few are actually stopped by other people with guns. If you can sneak on the shooter, and are better at wrestling, you can actually beat someone with a gun.
Karate can defeat guns, they just need to dodge the bullets really quick with some jutsu and karate chop the guns in half.
Bruce Lee said something like that.
@@JavierGomezX That's wrong. In the US almost EVERY active shooter case, like 95-99% of the time, someone with a gun stops the active shooter. Either police with guns, other hero with a gun, or the active shooter commits suicide.
Fun fact: Real Ninjas used guns, lots and lots of guns, and explosives, and cannons, and just gun powder, infact it's said that the various ninja clans invented over 200 types of gunpowder!

This makes me think of a gag idea where 2 of the turtles swap weapons before their fight with Shredder, and he mixes them up. When they call him out on it by pointing out the bandana colors, it either turns out he’s color blind, or he calls them out by asking whether it’s more likely their primary fighting style changed, or they switched colors, pointing out they’re identical
This was Brilliant, the writing was totally on point
and the Hollow-point part made me lose it when we got the reveal

Genji a cyborg that can casually move at the speed of sound
Shredder can actually move quick enough to deflect bullets with his sword. This is because he too has been mutated by the ooze, but the first DNA he was in contact with was another human, so instead he just became a super human.
Question is how that sword is made so strong against bullets. A sword that can withstand a hit from a bullet is going to be pretty heavy. Unless..
Space Steel? Idk...

Funny thing is there is a good ninja trick to fighting against guns, it's called don't be in the line of fire. If a guy with a gun can't see you it's harder to shoot you.
