It was the same thing with Mikey liking video games, they stuffed that down your throat almost every issue and it just stopped within the last few issues. You know, we get it, Mikey likes video games. Every issue it has to brought up? Same with the Leo/Don conflict. It got redundant.

Although I would surmise that Don acknowledging Leo to be right isn't the end of this rivalry, I think for the time, we might get a break from it. I would agree that I think it should have been a bigger character moment for Don (he basically just says sorry and moves on), like a realization of sorts, but at least it wasn't just ignored.

I loved the Leo and Raph rivalry. That's what makes them who they are. Video games for Michelangelo? That's what makes him who he is. None of that gets boring. It's sometimes gets old, but it should never be taken away. That's like, "Let's not have Kryptonite be Superman's weakness anymore." You can't do that because that's what makes him vulnerable. That's what makes him Superman.

If it's not the end of the rivalry, then there's a good reason why I've stopped reading. Seems like Raphael better show his true genius because obviously, this is just wrong. Donnie must be Raph. I bet IDW is pulling our leg here, and soon, that will be revealed. Raph's not acting like Raph and Donnie is not acting like Donnie. I don't care if one's a fish out of water or this. If this is giving them room to grow, how long will it take? Shouldn't this be over now?

It would have been better if Donnie was still complaining, arguing with his brother, until Leo slaps him in the face for disrespecting Splinter. Then, Leo would grab his brother by the strand of his mask, pull him to a place where they can see the Foot, and say, "So! Still think I'm nuts?!" Then Don would have been like, "Oh my god! And just to think I was being rational!" Even though I don't like where this story is going, I would have appreciated IDW writing that into their comic.

...I...I simply have no words for this.

What episodes?

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-05-2012, 07:56 PM

many episodes, very small hints, to find them, u have to watch them with ur heart not ur eyes.

**Jester** · 07-05-2012, 08:29 PM

I don't know why anyone says Leo and Don don't get along in the 4Kids series, it only happens in one or 2 episodes....

That's not going to be helpful.

Really? Please tell me. I'm curious to know.

**Jester** · 07-05-2012, 08:33 PM

Sorry, Bauer...it was a joke. (Mr. Turtle doesn't like us calling Ch'rell Chr'ell because it only shows up a couple times over the course of the show.)

I can't think of any times Leo and Donnie bicker, except maybe when both of them are having their broody periods in season 4 and BttS.

Thanks for the info. What did they say to each other, at least? I'm curious.

**Jester** · 07-05-2012, 08:39 PM

I'm not sure...I'm assuming that if it ever happened, it's be in those times.

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-05-2012, 08:40 PM

wut can i do? its been a while plus the hints r quite small...

**Jester** · 07-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Hey, I found the references to Ch'rell for your viewing pleasure...

*Donnie* · 07-06-2012, 10:53 AM

Please keep on topic, guys. Leave personal jabs for PMs.

Although, Mr. Turtle, it would really help if you actually posted information to back up what you're saying. It is not very beneficial to the discussion to just tell somebody to view with their heart.

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-07-2012, 10:50 PM

...seriously? leo would say the same thing.

No, it's not. They have done that before, but that's besides the point

If it's not the end of the rivalry, then there's a good reason why I've stopped reading. Seems like Raphael better show his true genius because obviously, this is just wrong. Donnie must be Raph.

You know what, for a while, I was actuallly thinking this same thing. Donnie arguing with Leo? The way Raph would? Would be a crazy turn of events if this did turn out to be true. We called it if it does.

But it probably won't and I honestly don't think it will. The Donatello Micro was in character so it was just something different for IDW to do.

I always wondered what Archie Donatello goes throw, with all that religious stuff, and other things he doesn't believe in.

Genesis · 07-22-2012, 06:08 AM

Anyone else ever notice that, while (the artists) Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael (or, more specifically, Raffaello) are all the respective artists' first names, Donatello was actually a nickname? His name is actually Donato, and Donatello was a "kid" nickname basically meaning, "Little Donato."
