i was born at a good time. i was at the ideal TMNT fan age (7) when the ninja turtles peaked in popularity. like most kids, i was initially drawn to michelangelo. he was a turtle i could relate to. he loved pizza, nun chucks, and calling people "dude." but as i matured, i found myself growing tired of michelangelo's antics. he was always slowing things down and screwing things up. all he ever wanted to do was skateboard and eat pizza. not that there's anything wrong with skateboarding and/or pizza, but come on dude, you're a ninja turtle. there's work to be done!so i went against the grain. all the other kids like michelangelo the best (except for the NERDS who like that jerk raphael), and i chose Donatello as my favorite turtle. i still firmly believe don was the coolest turtle. he was definitely the smartest. yet he was still funny. he wouldn't go for the easy jokes like michelangelo. and he didn't fight with sais or swords (that could easily KILL people) like raphael and leonardo. he used a stick. and he beat the hell out of people with it.
i don't hate michelangelo. he had his moments. he was pretty funny and had good ideas sometimes. but i think he just needed to lay off the grass and get his shit together. he could've been great.
but nothing compares to the new turtle (the guy in the below picture). jeez, this guy makes michelangelo look like a real go-getter.
