Mikey, on the phone with Splinter: Heeeey, dad, are you coming home soon?
Splinter: Uhm… I still have some errands to run. Why?
Mikey: Oh. No reason.
Leo, taking the phone from Mikey: Hi pops, everything’s fine. There’s no fire.
Splinter: Wait, is something on fire?
Leo: No I said there ISN'T a fire
Splinter: Let me talk to Red.
Leo: He’s a little busy.
Raph, in the background: No! don’t fan it, it makes it worse!
Splinter: Oh my god. What did you do to my kitchen?
Leo: Nothing! You go on with your errands. Take your time, maybe take some reference photos!
Splinter: Put Red on the phone!
Leo: Fine!
Raph, out of breath: Hey.
Splinter: What’s going on?!
Raph: Nothing. Everything is fine here. We’re watching TV and the oven sure isn’t on fire.
Splinter: I'm sorry WHAT
Raph: *Donnie's alarms in the background* Wow, that sure isn’t one of Donnie's alarms saying that there's a fire in the lair.
Donnie, in the background: HANG UP!

HEY FUN FACT: Did you know that Red-Eared Sliders have this fun behavior called “fluttering” in which they rapidly shake their claws at another turtle? It’s usually either a mating behavior or a show of dominance.
It reminds me a lot of stimming! So I like to think that Leo stims :)
The New York of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990), and its sequel.
Movies from the 80s and 90s were so well-lit. Street scenes especially—you can even see it in those Unsolved Mysteries images I posted earlier. Spotlights would be placed strategically in the background to light up parts of trees and houses, adding a sense of depth to a locale that’s often missing from modern movies, where the foreground and background elements are HD 4K sharp (except for the smudgy, artificially blurred parts). “Ok boomer”, yeah I know, “fone bad” and stuff—but I’m right.
Interior scenes in modern shows look like they’re filmed on the Sun or something. The windows are ablaze with white light, inside it’s dark and dusty. The characters are silhouettes. Everything looks tweaked, altered, manipulated. Unnatural—in an ugly way.
