Welcome and check out the OT. I have a thing with animation myself and I tell you it ain't bad 80's stuff at all.

XD Quick Update. I actually did start watching the 87 version and I'm glad you guys convinced me XDDD I was sold from the little old lady with the shotgun.

Since you love Nick Donnie, what's your opinion on the other versions in past series? Old toon Don was probably the most assertive of all the Don's. 2k3 Don was very reserved and Movies 1-4 Don was similar .

TheSmartOne · 03-01-2013, 08:02 PM

I actually find it really hard to pick a favourite. I'm only at episode 12ish in regards to the OT episodes, so I don't really have the basis to make a judgement on Don's personality there yet. Same with the movies... I haven't had a chance to check those out yet, save for the 07 movie, and Donnie was practically a side character in that one with about 10 minutes of screen time total.
As for 2K3 Don vs. 2012 Don.... I kind of like them both. I see them as being both very true interpretations of his possibilities as a character. 2K3 Donnie was quiet, reserved, but exceedingly kick-ass when he needed to be, which was a fun combination. He really contributed significantly to the team in terms of know how, technical expertise and overall smarts, which you really see through out the show, and I liked that they even addressed what would happen if he wasn't around- "Same as it Never Was' was maybe an extreme example (>___> That episode gets me every time...), but the series finale for Season 4 was crazy and well done and boy did you ever feel the hole left in the team without Donnie there to input some idea.

So 2K3 Donnie gets a lot of love, but I think Nick Donnie wins out just because he's probably a more accurate representation of a teenage boy who's way too smart for his own good XD: Overanalytical, kind of high-strung, and someone who sometimes thinks he knows everything even when he might not. He's got a lot of really awesome strengths, and a lot of really interesting faults that I really want to see explored. Plus Nick Donnie has a bit more presence on screen then 2k3 Donnie. He'll get annoyed with his brothers, he's got a bit of a sarcastic streak, and there's some really interesting tension between Donnie and Raph, like this brains vs brawn thing, which actually rears up just because Donnie's a lot more vocal. So I really like the new approach to Donnie's character XDDD It gives him more interactions between his bros, good and bad. Plus Donnie going crazy excited over electronics just makes me laugh all the time. Seriously, you don't know how many times I've watched "I Think his Name is Baxtar Stockman" just for this part:

"HEY GUYS, WANT TO SEE WHAT I MADE?"
"See, this is how bored I am. Yes, Donnie! I would!"
"Okay, okay, okay, remember last week, when I was scrounging around that old military junkyard?"
"No...."
"Well, I found an extremely advanced A.I. microchip made out of- get this - SELF-ASSEMBLING, CHAIN-LINKED CO-POLYMERS!"
"8D That's my favourite kind of co-polymer!"
"MINE TOO!!!"

....Wow, I didn't even have to look that up. That is saaaad.
So yes. This is my answer. And I'm going to stop now because I could literally go on for forever xD

Just curious, are you the same, "TheSmartone" from the Pokemon fandom?

TheSmartOne · 03-02-2013, 08:25 AM

o.o Oh, nah. I never joined any pokemon fandoms. I was more a digimon fan growing up. This is sort of the first discussion forum I've joined. Before that I spent a lot of time around roleplaying forums, but they were all Marauder/Harry Potter based.

Ah I see. I really thought you were this person because you're posting styles are so similar:

XD Haha, that is a very odd coincidence. Nope, I'm actually just translating all the talking I do in real life onto my poor keyboard.

Actually, the username was a fluke too, since my internet handle is usually 'Ritz' or something similar. But everyone here had TMNT related names and after browsing around, I decided I wanted to join that party (subconscious peer pressure XD) and for some reason 'TheSmartOne' sounded like a good idea at the time.

You can still be an uber-fan and have a non-Turtle name.

xD I CAN? WHY WAS THIS NOT EXPLAINED TO ME? I DEMAND A RENAMING CEREMONY! WITH TRUMPETS! AND BALLOONS! AND FANCY CHAMPAGNE GLASSES THAT WILL BE THROWN OUT OF THE WINDOW AT THE END OF THE PARTY
Hahha, iz cool, I dig this one

And yes, Digimon was my love as a kid. I was addicted. It's really unfortunate that I don't remember anything about the old cartoons I loved except for the fact that I used to watch and love them...
Digimon is another thing I have to revisit.
