Oof, someone on the production side sure wasn't paying attention.
Or, if we're talking about the reissues, they're trying to stay true to the original releases.
Mind giving the TLDW? I suddenly have a desire to not give them more clicks.
Up until he got to Rise and Mutant Mayhem, he was making an interesting point about how casuals and commonfolk tended to have trouble telling each of the Turtles apart due to their very similar designs. Since the Mirage comics gave them all red bandanas (in the colored artwork, that is), one could only tell which was which by their weapons, but there were times where they switched or borrowed each other's weapons, so that didn't help. When the 1980s cartoon gave them each different colored bandanas, that was helpful in theory, but the masses still had trouble remembering who was who, providing an example with a clip from an old Full House episode (which aired contemporarily to the 80s cartoon) wherein a little boy who was the target age of the cartoon was dressed in purple-bandana'd Donatello pajamas but said "I am Raphael of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!" He then pointed out how the toys and 2003 series tried to further distinguish the Turtles' looks by giving them different shades of green, only for the 2012 series reverse that by giving the Turtles their most unified, same-y design yet.
I guess it's more the way the problem was solved he didn't like. I dunno, it started off intriguing and then ended stupid.
And just wait until they make an Archie Comics version!
