As for Don, he's not immature. Maybe he's MORE mature, liking girls. And, really... maturity is not defined by... Raph taking charge does not mean he's older. It just means he likes to be in control. That's all. We can go back and forth by saying 'Don is smarter and a really logical thinker!' (which really does signify maturity)... but it doesn't matter how the discussion goes. Fact is fact is fact. No real discussion needed.
The only discussion I'd like to have is how idiotic the people who made those mistakes are, and why they weren't corrected. I hate mistakes like. They show poor workmanship.
Sure, ya can discuss it. Doesn't change the fact that it's Leo, Don, Raph, Mike. I guess I just don't see the point. They were just mistakes.

Oh, I totally agree on Pete's official order. Leo, Don, Raph, Mike.
Hm... I guess I see Don and Raph's placements as "controversial" in the new show (I don't think indiscriminate crushes on every girl encountered is very mature, but I don't think angry rebelliousness is very mature either), whereas in the other versions of the TMNT I never saw much straying from the "proper" age order that Peter Laird gave. What I see in the new toon gives me the impression that the writers think Raph is older than Don. That bothers me a lot. I guess I was trying to discuss that... how the new 'toon writers (who are supposedly in close collaberation with Peter Laird) could get it wrong. Which is what you seem to want to discuss (although you think they wrote Don as second oldest, anyway). So yay for being on the same page?
Edit: Just read your second post. Very very informative. It's just that Don's so starry-eyed and he needs saving a lot in the new show (like in "Outbreak") that
sometimes I feel that the show gets it wrong.
