Everyone loves a Turtle with a bazooka. It feels good. It feels natural. It feels “right”.
It feels familiar anyway. A bazooka was in fact the weapon that Turtle was featured with on the original T-shirt as well as one of the major showdowns in the original race. It’s return here marks a new turn in the race where Bunny realizes that his friend isn’t just timing the race for him. He’s trying to slow him down. Now that Bunny has seen Turtle up to no good and a mysterious sidekick launching flaming arrows at him, his perspective on the race is going to change. A missile in the belly would change your perspective too.
