That was the best thing about that movie for me.



Eh, I disagree at the moment. I still think Leo was more fleshed out in 2k3. But, I did say for the moment. And I'm not sure about Donnie yet. He seems more like an OT Raph ripoff more than the Donnie I am used to/prefer.

well, in the mirage comics, don seem to be grim and brooding, often taking a raph's attitude in the comics. so maybe don being the way he is is somewhat based on that. while i did like don's calm sweetness in 2003 series, i like the fact he has somewhat of an anger issue. ya know, its nice he can act angry for once, maybe in time he'll become more calm in the future. he is, after all a teenager. and when you are a teen all you feel is anger.

what 'I' want more in this series, much as i hope for the new movie, is interacting and more episodes with don and mikey. i want to see a frustrated mikey, reaching his end and simply yelling and pointing out why he's fed up with everyone never taking him seriously.
i want to see don listen to him, and realize and understand and know that feeling. i wanna see don and mike grow more close.
i've loved their chemistry in the films the first and 2007 movie.
as well as the 2003 series.

its a simple desire. and in the few episodes i do see those two interact well together. i just want a serious brotherly heart felt ep with them a lil drama, a lil comedy and a lil more light on the two.

but thats just me. to me those two have always been best friends. even mikey's understanding gets me when he told raph in the break out ep "the heart's a soft muscle, the soft muscle does squish" or whatever the line. which, shows mikey knows more than he lets on and does show wisdom. i always got the feeling mikey in the end would be there for don if and when don is heartbroken by april's chosing of casey.

again, its just me, being a don/mikey fan.
