Since we're glorifying 2016, remember when the Ninja Turtles peacefully gave themselves up and NYPD was still ready to kill them because they didn't have "the right look?" And they only escaped because their white friends took action and jumped in front of them? Good times...

In all fairness if I woke up in the middle of the night and saw 4 6’4 tall mutant reptiles in my home I’d be freaking out too

Waking up in the middle of the out your sleep is literally not all all the context of what is happening in that scene.

In fairness how’d you react if you saw something like this? Giant mutant reptiles, I can honestly understand why people are genuinely freaked out. It’s only after getting to talk and listen to they become chill with the turtles.

Gonna be hard to talk over all the gunshots.

These turtles are bullet proof so they aight.

So you're just completely ignoring the cops, who are still trying to escalate the situation even as the Turtles are giving up right in front of them?

It never actually did though, they all just stood there, they called them monsters but no one was like “shoot em” turtles never moved. Can’t really say for certain what would’ve happened.

They said freeze, turtles freezes. That’s it 🤷‍♂️ neither side escalated anything.

The fact that you’re trying to equate 7ft tall bipedal turtles with weapons to a race thing just shows your retarded you are

>compares giant mutant turtles to minorities.

Realistically the cops either just wouldn’t started blasting no questions asked, or just faint from shock. Like these are giant mutated humanoid turtles, cops are universally known to overreact from less. 😭

Learn to separate fantasy from reality. You're coming across as REALLY unhinged.

Ppl saying "they're bulletproof" as if their heads and limbs were just as resistant as their carapace

Mikey saying "We're not monsters." in a hushed tone.

This was the craziest fucking thing in what was otherwise a basic 6/10 popcorn flick. It came out of nowhere.

(sigh)Just take your ass back to bluesky and stay there.

I like how you quoted "the right look" as if it were in the clip or is some wildly repeated phrase. Stop trying to create a racial allegory.

Oh hell naw ik I just didn’t see a tear in my baby eye??

Ok I mean… they’re giant mutant turtles…. NYPD had a mostly appropriate reaction.

Did they forget they’re bullet proof?

They were scary af lol

They looked different because they are teenage mutant ninja turtles

I can't lie, Mikey going "We're not monsters" like that, like he's still just a scared kid, it's one of the few moments in the film that really gets to me.

They're mutated giant talking turtles, of course the officers are going to panic you clown, anyone in their right mind would either run or grab the nearest thing to them to defend themselves 😂

Yet another Bluesky loser spending their weekend on X talking about the real life racial implications of a children's movie lmfao

That’s because they’re Italians and New Yorkers hate Italians

Like Splinter later told Mikey "People fear what they do not understand". The police's (and people as general) reaction to the sight of 7 feet tall walking talking turtles is understandable and hence the reason why the turtles can't really walk out in the public's eye. I guess...

They are Giant TURTLES

They’re literal fucking mutant turtles, the fuck are you talking about?😂

A-a-a-SNEEZE!

This part always felt like a forced way to separate the turtles from April and Casey because they're literally bullet proof and were shot by way more powerful guns in the previous film, why are they doing this lmao

Honestly I’m the only one understand why the turtles didn’t move because they want to show them not a threat to the humans even though they know their bulletproof, but knowing that the cops hurt their feeling by calling them monsters, but they want to show they’re not the enemies

I’m sick of cops and their bias against giant green mutant turtles

I actually can’t tell if this is satire

Movie so buns but I always thought the turtles designs were badass. They look dope

Lol this nigga wants to compare himself to a mutant turtle. Nice one ya dipshit 😂

That and they’re armored and armed to the teeth but yeah, ok.
