3. NYC rat, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge
There are a few rat moments in TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, but I want to focus on the Rat King boss fight’s stampede of city rats. These rats look thrilled to form one pink-tailed blob and bite you, and just like NYC’s real rats know no greater joy than nesting in my backyard (I’m taking care of it) and eating my tomatoes (I’m taking care of it).
How nice is this rat? I am incredibly triggered by these pixelated rat New Yorkers, but since this slideshow is meant to be about forgiveness and understanding, I will be judicious and give them a 4/10.
How stylish is this rat? Their gray coat is a little lackluster, but their pink ears and tails make me confident that these rats know themselves as true summers. 6/10
Is this rat free of disease? It’s possible…they look quite healthy. Tentative 5/10.
Best friend score: 5.0. I could learn to love them, as long as they learn to grow their own heirloom tomatoes.
