Donatello's (the Turtle) lines are so underappreciated.

[@skip0]

All of the turtles diss their respective artist in their bars. “Floppy helicopter” (Leonardo’s flying apparatus), “pristine Sistine” (Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel), “Put you back in school” (Raphael’s School of Athens). It’s insanely creative.

@@asorlokirunarsson9864 I see .. Picard v Solo might sound logical.. tempting too in fact, but that's probably because they are characters in a space-based fiction that commandeer iconic space vehicles.

For instance, a rap battle between Oppenheimer and Einstein might seem logical due to their being scientists and contributions to nuclear physics, but Oppenheimer vs Thanos is a way better choice.
