Ninja turtles gay

Despite what some might think, Splinter is not gay in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

The general confusion stems from Splinter and Scumbug's romance which becomes quite clear in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem 's ending. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" features the first canonical queer romance for Splinter, but LGBTQ+ characters have appeared in "TMNT" before.

It all. I'm not sure if this rumour is true or not, but I heard, that in the upcoming TMNT: Mutant Mayhem film, one of the four turtles will be coded as homosexual. As I said, I'm not sure, if this is true, but if it is, I personally think it will be Donatello.

The two characters quite clearly form a connection and make out after the Turtles defeat Superfly. They are last seen together in the sewers with the rest of the mutants as they stand side-by-side and hold hands. Splinter has never been portrayed as gay canonically in any previous TMNT movies, shows, or comics. The character's romantic interests are not typically given too much attention at all. In some versions of Splinter's origin, he is a human who is in love with Tang Shen before she is killed by Shredder and he is mutated into a rat.

Otherwise, Splinter's romantic pursuits are unexplored. In the lead-up to the movie, they released individual posters for each of the movie's characters, including Scumbug.
