Other than skin color. . . .
 

how many of you could tell apart the four turtles if they had their bandana's off?

If we were going by the movies Mikey and Raph would be easy, I could probably tell apary Leo and Don as well. However, if we were going by the cartoon, there would be no way!

Actually, I think I could. I'm assuming they're also weaponless, because that would be a big giveaway. :P :lol:

Depends on the universe and what the guys are doing. The old cartoon would probably be the hardest, but in the other universes, I think the guys look/act/simply are different enough to tell apart.

what she said :)

If non whore clothes, I couldn't tell any apart simply by looking at them, except the Image versions, but evryone can tell them apart

Yeah, let us assume that they are all naked. No belts, weapons, masks. And they are in a black and white picture.

I know that in the movie, Mikey is the shortest and has the smallest head. Raph (I believe) is the tallest. Even if he isn't he does have the biggest head and largest lips/mouth. Leo and Don would be the toughest to figure out.

Often in the comics Don stands a little taller than the rest

You could also tell them apart by voice!!

One could probably tell by their facial expressions and body language. Mike usually has wide eyes and is smiling. I'd expect Raphael to look either a bit detached or straight out "in a funk". Don would be the most relaxed, probably with a "lost in thought" look. Leo, of course, would be very alert and aware, without appearing tense. Subtle differences, but rather easy to pick up on if you pay attention. And if the person drawing/portraying the turtles pays attention.

Of course, it would all depend on what exactly they're doing. Sitting around watching a movie would invoke totally different actions than say, if they were eating or even sparring sans gear. Yep, voice/dialog is a good indication, too. :)

If I l ived in a black and white world with the TMNT, I'd just call them all fred. no seriously, I would... they'd probably find it funny and think I was joking with them.. and that way I wouldn't need to remember anyone's mannerisms :lol:

Voice isn't an option, you are looking at a photograph. But you are right, body language and facial expressions are key.

Let's put it this way, let's say we are looking at trutle mug shots. Could you tell them apart?

you actually can kind of tell from facial expressions. Look at the card packs or something. It shows all their faces.

I would definitely say facial expressions and body language are key.

hmm..physically....

Leo and Raphwould be the tallest in my book, Don'd be a hair shorter than them, and Mike would be my plump baby-faced sweetheart turtleman... :D



Mike: :tconfuse: Did she just call me....Plump?!

Raph: *sniggers* Yeah, like a fricken roast turkey... :evilgrin:

Leo/Don: *snicker*

I totally agree with Manchias and Kali too. Their faces and bodies are really quite unique

In a comic, I would understand how it would be hard since the artists hardly draw the Turtles different from one another. But in the live action/movie setting, you can tell. They have different shaped mouths and chins, so that you could tell you was who sans bandana, weapons, or tattoos. Height, posture, the way they walk. Scars are good indicators. Note the scar the first movie Raph has on his beak too.

I was able to tell apart like colored horses in a big herd easily this way too. :wink:

I totally agree with you on your points, HT... :) but....

*takes the latte weakly* Heh, thanks....*snuggles GK*

:( Yeah.. sure. I misspell her name wrong, and people come outta the woodword to pamper her. Never mind the fact I was slaving away on this friggin' 3D project.. that I' still slaving away on.

But hay.. it's not my fault SHE thinks i'm calling her a MAN. I never really think of her as a MAN. I just get Machias and Manchu mixed up. I think of Chinese food, not a MAN! :roll:
