Glutton for punishment, oy! - Page 2

that was in the wicked early part of the series, like episode four or five or something. It is a bit suprising that Mikey was shown besting Raph in sparring in the early part of the series on mere skill and physical prowess. It's in stark contrast to how things play out later on in the series where Mikey appears frightened by Raph and gets beat up all the time. And Mikey does smack Raph in this episode but they where sparring so hitting Raph would in character in this context, he wasn't doing it in annoyance or anger.

Maybe Raph attacking Mikey with a pipe made him more wary of Raph so he acts chicken when confronted by him.

I know that the Anceint One is supposed to be "family" or what ever, but he really isn't close enough to him to smack him. I mean Casey and April are much closer to Mikey than the anicent one and I don't think they've ever smacked him upside the head. Does...any one get what I mean here?

I don't get what you mean that the Ancient One smacking Mikey is too familiar? What does knowing Mikey well have to do with being able to give him a smack or not?

I don't get that eighther, Why shouldn't the ancient one have as much right to go up side Mikey's head as his Splinter and his brothers do?

You know in retrospect, I can't believe there are so many votes for "no" than "yes" on here.

Not really chicken. Maybe it's just his nature. Thoguh being almost whacked by a pipe is traumatizing, I can agree.

you know...I'm getting tired that Mikey is forever viewed as being this useless coward, thats nothing but a chump.

This is exactly why I want Mikey to finally tell his brother to back the eff off when they deck him.

Yes, it it! I second the motion Sage Ninja's request for Mikey to say back off to his siblings sometimes (not of course it would be to Splinter*). It is related to my thread. Sheess...

* Or he will be suffering his Master's WRATH for sure.

and what else am I supposed to think when he runs away or acts like a pancy when he is confronted in a fight? Or when he screws up and causes more problems than prevents them?

I'm sorry but seriously most of the time Mikey isn't that useful in a fight and doesn't make much of a diffrence. Most of time the Don, Raph, and Leo would have managed to complete a mission even if he wasn't there. In fact if he wasn't they would probably get a mission done with alot less hassle.

If that doesn't spell "chump" or "tool" than I don't know what does.

Sadly true.. in most fights Mikey always seems to either need saving, or be the first to go down... I mean, geez, he has the same training as the others, wether he takes it seriously or not, he'd still a friggin experienced ninja!

And Mikey was just annoying and getting in the way of the Notes from the Underground fight....

*Sage Ninja* · 02-04-2009, 01:22 PM

what about what he's done in BTTS? He's certainly proven he's no slouch in BTT and doesn't run away like a coward any more. Who defeated Cyber Shredder in City Under Siege?

I think Mikey is a seriously underrated fighter and thinker. I would say he has more speed than his brothers, the natural... look at him with his skating etc. As for the thinking, he's the clown, he says what he says on purpose to get people around him to lighten up, you gotta love him for it
