The TMNT don't fit the personalities of the Renaissance artists they were named after
Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter but also a scientist. Doesn't sound like Leo at all. Sounds more like Don.
Michelangelo Buonarroti was a rather temperamental, stingy and broody man. Not befitting of the Turtle that's meant to be defined by their heart like Mikey who writes poetry and is the party animal in the kid-friendly versions. Sounds more like Raph. Raffaello Sanzio was a charming and affable individual who also was a bit of a Casanova.... doesn't sound like Raph at all. Hell, sounds more like Mikey. Donato di Niccolo... seems like not much is known about his personal life. A quick research tells me he had a reputation for having a volatile temper and an abrasive sense of humour. Doesn't really sound like Don. Sounds more like Raph, just like the Sistine Chapel guy. So, is this a coincidence? That NONE of the TMNT fit the personalities of the guys they were named after? Or was it just poor researching skills and historical knowledge of Laird and Eastman? We already know how their knowledge of Japanese culture and history was not exactly stellar either. So should we be surprised they didn't know much about the Italian Renaissance painters beyond their big works? |
