I couldn't believe it. If i was gonna pick any turtle who's unmanily it'd be (don't get me wrong, ui love him. He's my close second favorite Turtle, right after Raphael) Donatello. Heck in the previous entry it claims that Mr. Fantastic is unmanily because of his weak power and his intellect. Go fig.

hehehe poor guy, can't catch a break, huh.

Funny...he reminds me of a frat boy alot....so...those guys are soaked in testoterone and beer most of the time Oh well. Someday you too will be manly, my young green friend.

[Spitfire]

What's unmanly is comic book nerds who make lists like that.

Amen to that Spitfire.

In actuality, I wouldn't classify any of the turtles as 'unmanly'. They're all physically fit beings who lay the smack down on their enemies.

[Raph's Girl]

Confusion has set in... Batman is on both lists as manly and unmanly... he's #10 on both lists...

[Buslady]

Don't those dopes know nunchaku can be highly deadly when used right?
Poor Mikey, sure he's a fun lover but he's a little stud in his own right. They all are...

I looked at the manly one...CONAN?? gimme a break...no freaking way, out of who they picked...Logan #1 then Lobo...I mean come on. Logan's got claws and he's hot, furry and all that. Lobo's gotta sweet hog and well, he used to hang with space faring delphinuis.

Mikey's not manly. He's turtlely.

What I've always found frightening about Mike is that even though he seems so affable, he's trained to kill... and he's good at it.

Michelangelo is plenty manly.

But more importantly... anyone takes this list seriously when they include freak'n BATMAN?

That's just not right!

[Sewer Bull]

What? The Tick ain't on the most manly list? That just can't be.

[GK Punk]

He has to be manly, he drinks manly beers!

[gobo]

I won't bother reading the lists, but did Dr. Girlfriend make the manly list? If not, people must agree that it's a pretty weak joke the writers of VB are frequenting.

[Buslady]

I think the 9th Doctor should have been on the list but he really isn't a "super" hero...but he does go around saving lives, fightign Daleks & Cybergoons and still finds time to romance Rose. He's a man....all man.

[Kaneda]

Poor Mikey. Aquaman is the most unmanily super hero EVER.

[Ohayo Kame]

Well, naturally I am enraged beyond words; although I do have several things to say. Starting with the fact that this has to be the most uninformed paragraph on the page. If I didn't know any better I'd say this was just another I-think-I'll-enrage-people-online-to-overcompensate-for-my-social-inadequacies thing, the internet seems to be full of them, founded on them even.

He seems to be treated as the team idiot in all continuities, but he's never really earned it. It's like the only way you know that he's an idiot is because the other characters tell you. That, and someone has to not understand Donatello's techno-babble/pseudo-science jargon so he can give the viewers the short version. Michelangelo has saved the day and been captured several times, I'd say he broke even; the TMNT seem to be equally balanced despite Leonardo being the leader. All the Turtles ate too much pizza and cracked jokes during fights, even Leonardo occasionally.

"Not killing men is unmanly" . . . right. Then that puts almost every DC and Marvel hero on the list, except for accidental deaths where the villain dies and the hero doesn’t save them. Also does this person even know what a nunchaku is? They were the most violent weapon of the series, censored in Europe and ultimately replaced altogether because they were so deadly. Aside from being easy to conceal on the streets, the rope kind can pass through a metal detector. Also he's not taking into account the skill needed to wield them; nunchaku are complex and difficult to wield, they are also prone to inflicting injury on its user. Any idiot can hold a sword (Leo's complicated double handed style is a discussion for another time) and decapitate someone, but nunchaku can bludgeon someone to a slow and painful death. I've often wondered why they weren't Raphael's weapon, and as near as I can tell it's because Splinter wouldn't let him. That, or he can't handle them; you'll notice that when they switched weapons to fool the Turtlebot, Raph grabbed the swords.

>damn catch phrases like ‘cowabunga’ and so on. Noting more harmful to
>youth culture can be presented than the promotion of the word
>‘cowabunga’. As if the world needed more pseudo-surfer slang.

You know before the internet I had no idea there was an anti-cowabunga conspiracy society, same with pizza and female superheroes (Women in Refrigerators). I mean, who doesn't like pizza? It was a way for the audience to identify with them, if they ate worms and garbage they would just be grotesque monster vigilantes; but when we see them eating pizza we realize that they're "only human." Anyway, I'm getting off track; the word was used by Snoopy, Garfield and several other popular characters long before TMNT arrived on the scene. Cookie Monster of Sesame Street began to exclaim "kowabunga!" in the 1970s. (Note the "K" spelling. He used it during a Letter Of The Day segment as an example of a "K" word. When challenged by Prairie Dawn that it was not a word, he replied: "Kowabunga too a word. It esoteric, but it poetic in its own right.") Besides all the Turtles said it, usually after an important victory; and when you’re jumping off of something there are only two things to say 1) Cow-a-bunga! or 2) Ger-on-i-mo! and the later makes even less sense.

A single simple swing of an (wooden octagonal) nunchaku is able to completely shatter a solid coconut, (which is stronger than a human skull.) I learned this while being taught to use "Sahng Jeol Bahngs," (Korean for nunchaku.) So, Mikey's weapons are actually more effective than Raphs even (depending - BTW, a sai is not a bladed weapon.)

Has anybody seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High? I always figured Michaelangelo's character was based off of "Spicolli". If so, what we see is a very censored version of a truly righteous turtle.

Pfft... unmanly and has WAAAAAAY too much time on his hands.

Not killing men is unmanly.

Means ALL the Turtles would be on that list. I mean, other than attacking robots, they use their weopons in the old series mainly to cut pizzas. They just trip everyone else into traps or something. I find it very closed minded this guy based Mikey solely off the old cartoon series, and not even trying to bring up the comic book. Even in the new series he gets in the way, but damn... it's more interresting than if he had no personality whatsoever.
