so
Casey’s mask, right
it’s got the stripes painted on it
like Leo’s
which is adorable and sad and all

but I didn’t notice the first time I watched it that he has reminders of all the others with him, too

the mask was Donnie’s tech, but it’s not visibly his
so Casey has a shoulder pad made of purple metal
like his battle shell

underneath that, there’s... fabric or something, that looks just like Raph’s spikes (Future Leo’s prosthetic arm is also very familiar, clearly modeled after Raph, which is just sad)

and Casey wears knee pads
with kinda silly faces drawn on them
just like Mikey

so anyway long story short I am sad

Hey so I am so not at all okay about this because GUYS

THAT’S A SHELL
IT’S SHAPED LIKE THE TURTLES’ SHELLS
Literally whose idea was this
Who do I have to fight
I’m genuinely in tears right now
