Their disguise for going out in public so people won't know they are mutant turtles is a trench coat and a hat. They even still wear their ninja masks.
If you saw what looked like a giant ninja mask wearing anthropomorphic turtle stuffed into a trench coat, are you going to say anything?
The disguise is just a courtesy to let the average human have plausible deniability.
Didn't April also put them on the news all the time, calling them turtles? 🤔 I think the humans just didn't care. Why would they? The turtles weren't the ones robbing stores and beating up random people or throwing the city into Dimension X every week. That was, in fact, a human and a giant sentient brain.
That's the usual state of brains, isn't it?
Er... Ok but do brains usually pilot a human shaped robo... Oh. Oh shit.
Counterpoint: gestures broadly
Not in America
Presumably this means sapient, as in the thing humans have but other animals don't (the term sentient is often misused to mean sapient). In which case, no. Most brains are not sapient. Only humans are as far as we're aware currently, but definitely not ants and other insects that far outnumber us.
It's New York, they could easily go pretty much anywhere without being clocked as anything weird.
Isnt there a dude in New York who just runs around wearing a rat mask? I feel like the turtles are slightly more normal, also Vermin Supreme is close enough that at any given time he could theoretically be in New York.
I don't know whether you're trying to scare New Yorkers or pique the interest of Schrödinger groupies 🤔
Probably some sort of punker.
Do you think they underestimate normal humans? It almost feels a little insulting.
Can you blame them?
If you watch the show the humans are monstrously stupid. So yeah don’t need to put much effort into their disguises.
I've been watching the show my whole life...
This would actually be a pretty dope halloween costume.
I tried that one year, and it just came off like a creeper.
You still have to wear the turtle shell underneath
His mistake was being totally nude under the trench coat.
So are the Turtles.
In fact, the trench coat is the most clothes they usually wear. Just running around with their cloaca flapping in the breeze.
Fun fact...did you know normal (as in, non-human sized mutant) turtle penises can be as large as 30cm? Could you imagine four nude, teenage, human-sized turtles running around Manhattan with a footlong dick flailing around?
Probably much larger since the rest of their bodies scale up, and, as teenagers, they are at the peak of their virility.
Mistake? He came, didn't he?
Well, duh. How else is anyone supposed to tell them apart? /s
Not sure if that’s better, worse, or equally mediocre compared to Laszlo Cravensworth turning into Jackie Daytona with a simple toothpick.
Wait, Jackie Daytona was Laszlo!? I was wondering where he went during that episode. The character just dropped his plot line. It was weird.
