What do you hope happens for Mikey next season? - Page 2

That just something that was made up in TMNT Headcanon.

This one?

Interesting! I wonder where those came from, or if I just glossed over it when I looked at the site.

Yeah, I'm wondering if that's fan made or on nick somewhere.

it was somewhere

and it isn't fan-made

but I think they switched the bios around later....

Yes, it's an official bio for Mikey, but I don't know if they stuck with it. I never saw anything where Leo has asthma. It would be hard for him to be a ninja if he did. I had a friend who had asthma, and when we ran laps in gym, she couldn't run with us and had to sit out, so I highly doubt it would be plausible for Leo to be able to run with asthma, though it depends on how severe the asthma is.

That's what I thought. You can't join the military with asthma, so he sure as heck wouldn't be up to jumping along rooftops, combat with two swords, et. al.

I don't think Mikey will get Klunk. If he does it will be after Spike mutates (and changes names and colors wtf) I just think two turtles with Pets is too much.

I think it would be cool to see Mikey develop a relationship with Murakami the Chef. Mikey was usually the one making friends with Pizza guys in the books and I think it could be used a great device to grow his character. Maybe he's afraid to open up to his brothers and sensei because he feels he is EXPECTED to act a certain way?

Or really hates getting made fun of but can't talk to anyone about it. They could do a whole episode on Bullying if they wanted.

Leo2k3 · 08-12-2013, 01:55 PM

Mikey in this series is a cool character. I have always liked the different Michelangelo's in the ninja turtle cartoons. The kind of laid back surfer stereotype, in the OT; the wiseguy in the 2k3, and now we have the kind of hyper active kid, in this series.

I just wish they kind of make this Mikey a slightly more serious at times. Him just playing the "dumb one" in this series is discrediting the character. He can be funny, but also have a big heart. The episode when they meet leather head for the first time should be the character in all the episodes going into season 2 and beyond.

*CyberCubed* · 08-12-2013, 01:58 PM

The Turtles personalities never really change or grow that much in any series, so I wouldn't be surprised if he remains the same. He might become a little less clueless but that's about it.

This. Mikey was awesome in that episode.

Yeah, I could see that, especially the way he hugs Murakami in "Never Say Xever." I'm doing a fan fic about the pizza delivery kid, and I'm going to have Mikey be really close to him as I think that's something Mikey would do.

I remember someone on the board mentioning an episode done in the style of Samurai Jack. About a Turtle who is a Samurai who rescues a Princess trapped in a castle by an evil lord. At the end when all is said and done it is revealed it was a story Mikey had written.

Well if it helps anyone. I tried to post my idea on Ciro's facebook page at least three times and twice on nickelodeon at least twice. Just now, I posted it on the nickelodeon tumblr page.

I love for something to explore Mikey's writing aspect of the character.

*Bry* · 08-13-2013, 05:05 PM

I think they've done a good job with the character overall. He's had his strong moments, and they generally haven't been overstated.

I would like to see more moments of true competence from Mikey (like in "Parasitica") because the only thing that could potentially worry me is going overboard with him being "the dumb one." But I have faith the show will keep the right balance, as it has so far. The Turtles have all learned lessons and grown in their own ways over season one, and I'm sure that will continue going forward.

I can imagine a moment where his brothers realize that his compassion and lightheartedness are a strength that helps keep them together as a family & team - and then go right back to giving him a hard time anyway, because hey, they're brothers.

And yeah, seeing him develop some creative hobbies would be great - not necessarily as a writer like in the Mirage comics, but some nods to that aspect of his character would be nice to see more of in future seasons.

Like maybe mellowing out his ukulele.
