what the turtles weapons say about their...masculinity? - Page 3

OP needs to come back and re-enlighten us.

I guess Donnie's is about the same still, but with the addition of the magic version of weapon Viagra. Leo's... half neutered I suppose. (Though if it's supposed to be an odachi this time - save for actually looking like one - then maybe in this case that is a bit of trying to make up for it.) The other two, I can't even begin to guess.

I dunno, it's funny to speculate but all this Freudian weapons stuff... meh. If you ask me, it also depends on the end user and their reason for owning it and their behavior with it, not just what the weapon is.

And what about them can't, on the other hand, be a bit of girl power if in a woman's hand, hm? After all, a sword is often art as much as it is a weapon... deadly beauty. (For what it's worth it didn't take me long to decide that my new 20" tanto is a she.

) And a guy who appreciates all qualities of a sword, not just the harmful aspect... I think that says just as much about him, if not more. (It's also a weapon that requires a good amount of care and responsibility.)

Katana overkill? Nah nah nah... He just knows well mastered sword skills are damn sexy.

Esp when you're fictional.

I just remembered this clip, it's essentially what Thor does when he uses the hammer as a weapon.

The good old days... Sage's posts were always the best.

As a martial artist myself, i cam promise there is no masculine / femisistic theme behind weapons designed to defend and kill. I am a personal fan of tonfas because they are designed to mess up the enemies arms and block weapons.
