Who would win in chess, Leo or Donny? - Page 2

cup-mikey-gertha · 08-24-2014, 09:06 AM

Donnie. Definitely Donnie-- comics or animation verse because chess needs calculations and steps ahead of your opponent.

But, then, again Leo is the master strategist of the team... hmmm...

Maybe a tie in a game of four series. Then, stalemate if there would be a fifth deciding game.

What will prob really happen... they'll be stuck in a stalemate for so long one of the other two will inevitably be tired of it and "accidentally" mess up their board.

I own all of them on blu-ray, but I start to lose interest by Half Blood Prince. I think I have seen Deathly Hallows parts one and two like only twice, including the one time I went in the theater. I just think the last three movies lost the charm and charisma that the previous movies had going for it.

I have to ask the question then, why is Leo the leader if Donny appears to be the better strategist? I always thought Leo's thing was he was a strategist, and cool under pressure. Maybe Donny is great as a strategist, but maybe when he's using that strategy under pressure, against an opponent, he might break under the tension? Either way, it's interesting to see how much alike and how different both brothers can be in certain situations.

How much of a master strategist is Leo exactly???

I thought he was supposed to be the best, it's why he's the one leading the team and not Donny.

I couldn't tell you. But considering he is leading his brothers to over throw world wide crime lords, without the resources the Batman (Wayne Enterprises) I would say the TMNT accomplishments are more grand. At least I think so.

I don't think you get what I mean. Maybe?

Well, what do you mean? I've seen this stuff on forums before, Leo vs Batman is very popular, but even then, people are torn. Batman tends to edge out Leo, just due to the shear volume of Batman fans there are over Leo, but I honestly do not know what makes Batman so great compared to Leo. Is Bruce's training more stronger than Leo's? And what are we using to compare the two? Comics, certain cartoon aspects (BAS vs 2k3?) Most would argue that Batman has a considerable edge. Some say he can take out all of the Turtles, Splinter and Shredder in one go. But how?

Well, the money aspect doesn't have anything to do with Bruce being a strategist. Not about their accomplishments either. Though, Bat's would far outweigh the turtles.

I just mean is Leo's startegy skill on par with Batman's. Just skill wise.

And just to answer 1 question in there, yes. Batman's training is stronger than Leo's.

I can honestly say that I started to get that way after movie 4, and I hated movie 3.

Did you read the books before seeing the films or after?

*THGhost* · 08-28-2014, 08:08 PM

Leo's good at strategy and all, but due to his sheer intellect I would say that Donnie would win. Hands down.

Why are there people in here talking about the Harry Potter movies?

Well. I honestly was not aware of Harry Potter too much when it first came out. All I know, I was at the store getting ready for the holidays, and I was looking at the movies, and this is when The Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets was out on DVD, and they looked interesting by the cover, so I bought them, thinking it might keep my guests occupied during their stay. I got into the movies immediately, and learned they were from books, so then I started to read the books there after. So, saw the first two movies prior to reading the books, and then read the books prior to the movies from POA and after. I missed the first two in the theater, but have watched every single other HP in the theater since POA. My favorite book is Goblet of Fire, my favorite movie is POA and my favorite character is Hermione. In fact, Hermione is probably one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Faves in the fictional world usually go, Raphael, Leonardo, either Donny or Mikey depending on the incarnation, Legolas from LOTR, Bosco from Third Watch, Mulder from X Files, Sarah Connor from the Terminator flicks, HitGirl from KickAss, Hermione from Harry Potter, and Captain America is climbing up real fast. He actually passed a personal favorite of mine, ThirtyThirty from Brave Star.

I think I brought it up, where Hermione is the brainiac of the group, but Ron can kick her ass, and just about anybody else due to his talent with chess, and Ron isn't exactly the sharpest tack in the class.
