If not Leo then who? (80's toon) - Page 2

Another couple instances for Raphael were: in Leatherhead Meets the Rat King, when he called the huddle to plan to lure the Rat King and Leatherhead to the Rat King's lair and blow up the truck of zombie gas mixture using the cardboard cut-outs of the turtles previously used for practice as decoys right in front of the truck; then a brief moment in Notes from the Underground I when he called to everyone to crack the whip to swing themselves to the top after jumping down the ravine with a grappling hook roped to the other side and avoiding the boulder rolling toward them.

To this day my favorite incarnation of Don was the original cartoon version.

Amen cybercube. Donatello did invent the Turtle Van, Turtle Communicator, and Turtle Blimp, along with other inventions in the old toon.

A few times Mikey came to the rescue of the turtles BECAUSE of his head-in-the-clouds sorta personality. His easily distracted mind in his video game handheld got to save the entire city as well.

Have you guys noticed that after a while in the OT, Mikey hasn't been using his Nunchuks? I've noticed in the ENTIRE Season (the latest one on DVD) that Mikey has ONLY used his Grappling Hook, used it as a weapon and a tool, which I personally think he needs his chucks instead.

meh, I sort of disagree with this. I didn't consider that as him having his head in the clouds. Just the opposite. I think of OT Mikey as being more attentive and and aware of things that the others typically miss becuase his attention range is "wider" and "broader" and more open than the the other turtles so he catches on to things the other would normally dismiss as unimportant or unworthy of note. In the episde where he was engrossed with his video game he was only distracted by it when nothing was happening, but the actual fight was going on he was paying attention. Actually all versions of Michaelangelo think out side the box. It's what Michelangelo fun as a character in general. WHen he's written right, any way.

Well, what's the reason then? I haven't been able to watch the DVDs all that much and it's been months since I last saw the previous DVD.

I liked him, he was cool in his own way, but Raph was my favorite.

The only episode in the OT Leonardo acted much stuck-up at all was Leonardo Lightens Up. Leonardo in the OT, or any other universe I've seen for that matter, is not the humongous stuck-up some seem to make him out to be. In fact I think, if anything, he's slightly worse in the NT than the OT, not to say he's that bad in the NT either.

Not exactly stuck up as you mentioned in the NT, he's more of a Work-First kinda guy, as you see in some episodes where he'll loosen up.

*Sage Ninja* · 10-07-2008, 10:50 PM

I love OT Leonardo but I have to say that NT Leonardo is the best version of him. I just love NT Leo so much and I've yet to see him act stuck up or suck up to Splinter. He has alot of posetive qualites of a older brother with out all the annoying ones. Alot of people describe NT Leo as arrogant and self rightous but I've yet to really see him display any of these characteristics. NT Leo is such a lion hearted guy and most every thing he does is for his family or concern for another with very little selfishness involved.

Because Michaelangelo's weapon was out lawed in places like the UK so there was lots of editing involved in battle scenes to get rid of the ninchucks. Basically Michaelangelo just disapeared during fight scenes, so they took his chucks away and gave him a new weapon so there would so much editing and probably to make the turtles availiable internationally.

I have to agree with you! That's a very good way of describing NT Leonardo.

I just kinda find it funny how they felt like they needed to edit out nunchucks yet swords were a-ok.

I think the nunchucks where descriminated against because it was too easy to make a pair at home and clobber your self with by losing control of them.

aw c'mon when I was a young kid I ran around with big knives pretending I was Leonardo. I think nunchucks would be a little safer in comparison

Kind of like how on Thundercats it was okay for the heroes & villains to shoot death rays or some such at each other, but they weren't allowed to actually punch or kick each other during a fight.

well no... but I would think a blunt weapon like nunchucks would be a little more kid friendly than a bladed weapon. That's all I'm saying. Ah well TV censorship. It's just plain weird.

lol besides I could have tripped and fell on the knife. Sounds worse than whacking yourself in the head with a piece of wood or rubber.
