Does anyone feel Mikey's goofy attitude is abit....too much?

[Shredded]

Some-thing else i've noticed a while ago... and wonder if any-one thought of this or how they feel about it..


This new Mikey, definetely have all of the signs of ADHD..

Short attentionspan, easily distracted, dis-organised, often un-aware, can't sit still, feel a constant need to break up any silence, difficulty concentrating.. ADHD

So well.. if that is the case.. if he got ADHD, it doesn't mean he is stupid! it just means that he has trouble concentrating. On training, conversations, situations ext, not because of lowered intelligence, but because of an condition.


And before any-one goes out and shout angry words about him definetely not having ADHD.. I just have to say... I sort of appreciate that he is like that and still competent, since I suffer from ADD myself. (ADHD without the 'H' for 'Hyper.' with means every-thing else except being hyper-active.)

And yeah, I can definetely relate in some ways to this Mikey.
I bet Splinters strict structured way of life and training is doing Mikey good, that's sort of.. the only way Mikey could ever have learned nin-jutsu that well..

I think Mikey breaths life in to the show, he always makes me lol and the chemistry he has with his bros is awesome.

Huh... well, even if they don't call it that any-longer, it is certainly still present in his personality!

I guess he still have it, they just realised it's kind of hard getting an actual diagnosis while living in the sewer.. or the creators didn't want to call it that because of controversy.. any-way, every-thing in that Bio just explains this Michelangelos personality SO MUCH! that's him, right there!

"A social animal, longing to be part of the big world upstairs." yep.. pretty much. He wants to be friends with every-one, it's adorable.

... why am I feeling so happy that I am sharing a condition with an computer animated turtle?

I think maybe the 2k3 Mikey had a little ADD as well, but not this much.. in fact he seemed more lazy than ADD ridden.. yeah I am not the biggest 2K3 Mikey fan.

Fred Wolfs Mikey though, didn't seem to have that problem at all, he was just pretty much chilled all the time.


Got to say, the moment Mikey went. "What's taking so long? Donnie knows that I have a short attentio- Uh! GUM!" ... that was the moment I went. "okay that's it, he has ADD, there's no question about this any-more."

... I would never stick a piece of old gum in my mouth though.
That thing about abslutely just zoning out when some-one is trying to explain some-thing, and then have to ask about it after-wards when every-body else is all-ready caught up.
Yeah I feel with you Mikey, I do. It's really annoying and you feel stupid :/
... all though Mikey seems more at east with those situations than I do.

He is trying to pay attention! it's just really really hard! I can so relate to that.

that happens to me all the time. I can literally stare at someone trying to explain something to me and block every word they say.
it's gotten so bad my mom always says "now say what I just said" XD .....of course I can't and she gets mad.....lol I don't pay attention to anything that doesn't interest me....XD...not on purpose....

And hillarity ensues when I try to cover up for the fact that I didn't listen, and then try to act like I totally know what's going on regardless!

Yeah.. happens all the time for me, that's sort of what my condition is about. Short attention span, not for lack of trying mind you.

But don't take it to hard, it also happens to people whom do not have ADD at all, in fact it happens to every-body ones in a while.
... it just happen to me all the time. As in.. all of the time.
Yeah I feel for Mikey. So many things I can relate to all of a sudden. And that Donnie is the one of all people who is paired up with, a person that makes normal people zone out with his endless talk. No.. Mikey doesn't really stand a chance here.

Actually Donnie might be the one in the wrong here, endlessly talking about some sciense in a way so Mikey with a short attentionspan, doesn't have the slightest bit of chance to understand it, then calls Mikey stupid for not knowing what he just said.
I know he never litterately called Mikey stupid, but there's lots of small indictations that that is what he is saying..

I like Donnie to though, he just doesn't realise people don't always understands what he talks about, because it seems so obvious to himself.

Donnie just can't tolerate when people don't get it XD but he does try and explain... XD sometimes not in the simplest way...but he tires lol

I have to admit Mikey does have some funny moments, like when the other Turtles deduce Baxter Stockman is most likely to steal Kraang technology and he deduces it's Donatello.

Let's be honest.every one wanted to say Donnie if wasn't Michelangelo(even the people watching)

But yeah it's the little moments that make me like 2012 Mikey.

On another note: I upgraded to random punk. Horray!!! Soon I'll take over the world. JK. Maybe. I know it's not a big deal but still.

[JakeSully]

Well what do you expect from him? he's a party animal literally

[mikey22]

this mikey makes me laugh!

voice actor does a good jobe

[BabyTurtles]

I think Mike is getting smarter? is it just me?

He has his moments.

[MoreCowbell5263]

This version of Mikey may be a little dumb (the 'funny one' on many kids' shows tend to be dumb since that's what kids think is funny), but I have never been bothered by him. Mikey on 03 TMNT got a little obnoxious or cringeworthy at times. This Mikey comes off...what's the word? Endearing? Lovable I guess. He's very happy and optimistic without making fun of anyone. This is probably the version of Mikey that's received the most crap from his brothers. Makes me feel for him. Mikey, perhaps aside from Dr. Prankenstein, doesn't tease or insult as much as 03 Mikey did.

yea thats Raph's job

[Keno]

There's something that bugs me when he talks...like sometimes he takes too long to say a word. The way someone who is drunk or stoned.

he sounds normal to me.......but I live in California XD so alot of people sound like him around here. (don't know if it's a surfer dude thing)
in fact he's my favorite voice actor :3

[ironman29758]

Well I like Mikey in "Cockroach Terminator" because they really showed his prankster side a little bit more and I like his and Ralph's scenes as well as Raph and Donny scenes(you know you messed up when Mikey knew you have to turn off the tracking device that can lead you back to the van). I know people weren't big fans of the episode and thought it was a filler but you can't deny it's great character moments and development it had for each character.
