** "Calm yourself" is not simple advice, according to Baher. It's an "evil and false Buddhist doctrine." What???
** Contrary to Baher's assessment of "a confused view," the movie actually has no problem with vigilantism ''per se''. What it does have a problem with is [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him|Punisher-style vigilantism]]. The Foot Clan and monsters [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|are what they are]] and are deemed as "[[What Measure Is a Mook?|worthy to die]]." Yet, ordinary criminals [[Humans Are Special|are not to be killed]]. They are to only be subdued and left for the police. That is the code of battle honor the Turtles fight with, and is very similar to [[Batman]]'s.
*** The problem Leonardo has with the "Night Watcher" is because the news has led him to believe that this vigilante actually kills the criminals, making this an [[Critical Research Failure|'''in-universe''' example]] of [[Cowboy Bebop atMedia HisResearch ComputerFailure]]. Those who know the [[Backstory]] will know that the Turtles once believed this about Casey, before befriending him. They know of Splinter's code of honor, similar in some ways to Bushido, and they don't trust vigilantes who are not trained in any known code of honor. Not that this matters to MovieGuide, which believes that "bushido" is just a buzzword for "[[Everyone Is Satan in Hell|a lie from Satan designed to drag you to Hell]]."
** The movie goes to great lengths to explain that without a strong family dynamic, one may never feel at home anywhere, even if they do get everything they originally thought they wanted. '''Since when''' does this [[An Aesop|Aesop]] constitute a "Romantic Pagan" view?
* A November 2009 issue of the Seattle Times had a picture of Simon from ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]'' labeled as Theodore in the picture for an article promoting the new December movies. This was especially [[Egregious]] because the person who wrote the article was apparently a fan of the movies.
