Film Theory: PROOF of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in New York! (TMNT 2: Out of the Shadows)

I was always somehow drawn to Raph. His “I’m so fing done with you people” sarcasm is really relatable.

I know this is years old and you probably wont see this but Jeremy Wade caught a mutated Wels Catfish in a cooling pond for reactor #4 in Chernobyl and the analysis of its cells prove that its growth had actually been severely stunted. It was interesting because his hypothesis for going there was that the radiation created mutant giant catfish, as those were the stories being told by locals in the area.

At the start of every episode I feel like what a stupid argument . But at the end of it, I'm convinced... Way to go Matpat

“Does anyone actually like Raphael” I take personal offense to that

I still can't believe how this guy can mix school facts with sooo much comedy

MatPat: (talks about crime rate dropping in new york and exposing the possibility of tmnt existence) Tmnt would like to know your location area 51 has pinged your location

The 2012 versions are me and my sisters favorite TMNT. Raph has the most hilarious anger issues, Mikey has the greatest golden moments, Donnie is just the smartest and funniest scientist who has a crush on April (unlike the newer version in 2020 in which Mikey has a crush on April and doesn't hide it) and Leo everybodys favorite leader who procrastinates all the time. Like I said the best versions!

I absolutely love Raphael. He is my all time favorite. 1. My favorite color is red and 2. I love his deadpan attitude.

Mom: TMNT ain't real. Matpat: releases video Me: HA!

Now they are gonna find people down in the sewers saying, "Film Theory said TMNT was real."

I always end up liking Raphael mostly because of his anger and how he sometimes gives me Batman vibes. Also, Sais are cool weapons

matpat: "seriously does anyone like raphael?" me: "that's me alright"

"I'm not claiming that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are real." - MatPat in "Film Theory: PROOF of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in New York!"

Also, to fuel the fires of fandom. Michelangelo is the most skilled martial artist of the four turtles. Why? Because he uses two nunchucks. They are by far one of the most difficult weapons for a martial artist to learn and employ even if he or she is using only one, and he uses two like it's nothing. That's a lot of natural skill right there. He definitely isn't the most disciplined or strongest, but as a metric for raw martial arts talent, he's a genius at it. Why would I not chalk it up to hard work? Because the turtles have pretty much the same amount of time in training from the time they could walk on two legs until let's just say fourteen. We all know Mikey goofs off a lot, yet he can still master his chosen weapons. If that's not skill I don't know what is. But that's just a theory... a comment theory, thanks for reading.

it so happened that I really like Raphael! The early cartoon version showed that Ralphael was the joker turtle. But then Ralphael evolved into grumpy, loner and muscular. Weird.

Ok so Matpat you need to do an update on past videos to see how they aged. This would be a great one.

Matpat: Pizza rat is why TMNT is real Me: oh my GOD HES RIGHT

Matpat: the tmnt are red eared sliders Me smiling at my Red Eared Slider: Ruby it’s time to learn ninjutsu

Donatello has to be my all across favorite. He definitely deserved more character wise tho. Like he was never rlly fleshed out more than “does machines” so it was great in the 2018 series to see his true potential and also THE STUFF HES ABLE TO MAKE IS CRAZY

Me and both my parents love TMNT. My favorite is Donnie, my dad's is Raph, and my mom's is Mikey. No one in our family actually likes Leo
