Indeed ....plus whoever made that article apparently isnt capable of saying anything without bashing it with hate , apparently he needs someone to show him what you can actually do with a nunchuk....

wow I didn't wake up this moring intending to be a bitch, but damn that artical pressed my bitch button!

where do I even start?

I find it interesting that the list is supposed to be reasons for why a character is unmannly, but there isn't a single example that really goes under the catergory of unmannliness. All the things listed are examples of why the writer thinks Michaelangelo is a screw-up, or an idiot (examples that are obviously just biased opionions that have nothing to back it up). the artical doesn't even come close to giveing a true example of unmasculine behavior on Michaelangelo's part. He didn't even throw in the fact that once or twice Michaelangelo has been made to wear a dress, which would have been at least a valid example of unmannliness--but didn't.

If this artical was on "which characters are the biggest screw-ups in boy cartoons" he might actually have some validilty in his list. But it isn't. So I can only conclude that the writter is just a petty Michaelangelo basher who just wanted to piss on the character for no appreant reason, other than he probably needed another character for his unmannily list.

His paragraph is biased and stupid, especially for the aim of the artical. Now if he had an artical un cartoons most useless charcters for what reason I might take what he says seriuosly.

I agree. But, here's a question among TMNT fans, which is the most and least manly Turtle?

[Sage Ninja]

they are all manly in their own ways. This artical is pretty damn stupid. And he only talks about classic toon Michaelangelo. Who I have to say, in all the incarnations that I have been aquanted with him with; Is far from a screw-up or unmasculine. Classic Michaelangelo was just as involved in battles as the other turtles where, and was reliable in a battle too. There where a few instances where he was intrusted in doing some important things on occassion, instead of just acting a decoy. ANd he was far from being a dumb-ass.

Which is manly and least manly? that's corny.

they're all manly all in their own ways. Now studly, definantely...they're well built.

to be completely honest this sort of thing about Michaelangelo being the team screw-up or worst fighter, or most unmanly turtle is pissing me off. Especially since i've been seeing things like this more and more recently on the web.

What the hell! Why is it Michaelangelo is the turtle that is the victim of so much character bashing. Its always, Michaelangelo is the stupid turtle, the worthless one. Seriously where are all these things coming from? Michaelangelo in any medium is far from being the worthless one in the group and I'm tired of seeing so many fans saying stuff like that to put him down. it pisses me off.

If your going to bash him why don't they use character quirks about him that are least true. why is it always : Stupid, Screw-up, and worthless as ways to bash him, when they aren't true!!!

Mikey screws stuff up, sure, but only a little more than the others. Leo screws up, Raph screws up, Don screws up. Each in their unique ways.

Old toon Mikey was based on the fad of the surfer dude back in the 80's, brought on by things like Fast Times, and Bill and Ted (which post dates the old cartoon, but it emphisizes my point).

Mikey is,has been, and always will be my favorite turtle in all forms...even though Raph keeps gaining. Mikey clowns around, and I feel people are equating goofiness with incompetence. They seem to think he has a "Corporal Capeman" (from Inspector Gadget) level of annoying goof-o-city about him. But even if that were true, I'd rather have a team "screw up" than a character devoid of personality. I always loved characters with wacky personalities, and it explains why I don't like Leo as much as the others (but I still love Leo, don't get me wrong).

And I feel Mikey had more clout with the group tahn Old Raph did. Old Raph did get messy, he did fight, but sometimes seemed too preoccupied with cracking snide remarks. New and Comic Raph could aslo be seen as the screw up for a completely different reason... he's too damn agressive. Maybe he's the most manly one.

But it does seem this article writer has WAAAAAAY too much time on his hands... I'll stop it right there before I get into a totally inappropriate "what's also on his hands" joke.
