Hi,

Im a long time TMNT fan coming out of retirement b/c of the new movie. Anyway, I wanted to ask if if anybody feel that Donatello is unfairly shoved to the side most of the time in tmnt stories.

Except for when they need tech stuff, I feel that he is the least liked turtle of the group and doesnt get the spotlight that much.

Mirage vol 1: (only mirage i have read is 1-4, 10/11, crtny, city at war) seems like the responsible one, hates guns, etc. is repsonsible for shreds 1st death.
Ok

80 toon: is there for Tech stuff primarily. doesnt like humans. Not much memorable character stuff

90 live action: is mikey's partner in jokes , Could tell he was smart.
91: smarter/tech wise. One of the best moments in the film: Donatello talks to splinter about the tcri tube breaking , wondering about their purpose in life. It was short , but cool (its been a while 10 yrs since i saw tmnt2 )
93: totally forgot 3 lol
NM: same as above

TMNT 1 game nes: His weapon does the most damage woot!
havent seen 03 show.
