The Leonardo Thread

[Technogeek29]

Leo ranks number 3 in terms of Favorite turtle.

OT: I found OT Leonardo rather charming, he reminded me of Superman sometimes. I best decribed him as a "Overzealous Boyscout" which I would find rather funny at times. I also liked that he was rather serious compared to the other Turtles when at times I find the others antics a bit much. Despite his good nature and the feel of always doing whats right he seem to get carried away rather easily or too asorbed and what he did. Such as love, books, training and catching the villian of the show.

2K3: While i'l admit a lot less fun, he did carry many qualites over from his OT counterpart. Both have a strict code of honor and are easily discouraged when a plan or situation isn't to their liking. I like that Leo wasn't played up as the straight men cranked to 12 in this version as he was the only other Turtle besides Mikey to ever crack a joke during a tense situation. He had a servere superioty complex as well, when even the smallest of failures weighed far to heavily on his mind and would set him and a terrbile mood.

Movie: A good balance between the responsible and child like vunerable Leo. He was all smiles and jokes the begining of the movie until Splinter went missing. Afterwards his demeanor never shifted back to his childlike persona until movie 2 , which I love alot. Despite his serious shift changed, he still was as lost as the others depending heavily on April to provide information on the foot. Deafeated and heavily regreatting fighting with Raph when he saw him injured. I have to imagined he spent just about every waking moment in that room and probaly not eating all that well either. These Reasons alone make him my favorite Leo of the bunch.
