As someone who use to hate Cyclops with a burning passion and think little of Leo, I actually do see the similarities because I found a new respect for each of them in a similar way. Though they are very different in personality, they both not only take their job as a leader REALLY seriously, but they also have a fear of failure.

Both characters are responsible for the people that they REALLY care about and worry that the smallest mistake could get someone killed (which is very possible in both universes). Understandably, this fear drives both of these characters to the point that their personalities are kind of screwed (Leo=boring Cyclops=douche).

That is what I really feel and connect with Leo on. If I had that much responsibility on my shoulders, I admit that I would probably cry myself to sleep at night. I don't deal with pressure well.

That's how my interest in TMNT began, Coming Out of Their Shells.

As Garfield would think, "Whoever thought of TMNT playing as a band in a stage show, should be dragged out into the street & shot."[

Leonardo has always been my favorite TMNT too. He's the leader, he wears blue, and his weapons of choice are katanas. He's also the most skilled of the team. He's just awesome!

ryukenden · 04-03-2011, 06:52 AM

Don't really like comparing Leo to Cyclops.

He seemed to be a typical do-gooder in the Fred Wolf toon and I fondly remembered the episode where the other Turtles tried to step up as leader but couldn't. Considering that Don did bark out orders quite frequently even with Leo present.

Leo has all the qualities i strive to have.

We both have a lot in common with the Leo interest.

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 04-04-2011, 01:20 AM

Ever since I was age 5 when I was first introduced to TMNT 1987 by my half brother's half brothers I was a Leonardo fan. I didn't understand why until I got older, but there was something about him at the time is why I dug him so much. My favorite color is blue, my favorite weapon of choice is the sword, I like his Cam Clark voice, he kicks major butt, he's a born leader and other somethings that I have in common with the Leo-mister.

You know even on job interviews when they ask me "If you can pick any character from a TV show to best reflect who you are, who would it be and why?" My answer is Leonardo, because he is a team leader, loyal, dependable, supportive, committed, fights the good fight, and confident. I know jobs want those kind of positive characteristics from a candidate.

Also who is this Cyclops you're all talking about? The only time I ever heard the name Cyclops is in the episode The Big Rip Off, and it doesn't seem you're talking about that.

Well that explains a lot. I never followed super heros. Just Ninja Turtles. If you asked me anything about Batman, Superman, Captain America, X-Man, Fantasic 4, I wouldn't know anything about it. I was just never into super heros.

*Donnie* · 04-06-2011, 09:02 AM

Ok, I'm taking a little break from all of this NICK madness...

Question for you Leo fans...

What do you think about his portrayal in TMNT III? I know this movie is shunned around the boards, but I really don't mind it *for what it is* and it's no cheesier than an OT episode, really. Concerning Leo, how do you think he was handled?

Starting with the exterior, I really liked Leo's suit, and especially the dark blue bandanna they went with. I wasn't a fan of the lighter blue's we got in the first two movies, although first movie Leo is of course far superior in character. Personality wise, I think sometimes he was just "there" and only when Raphael spoke to him as a "superior," if you will, is when you're like "oh, okay, he's the leader." Speaking of Raph...hey Jester, did you think Raphy was portrayed a little more alike to his OT counterpart in this flick?

That being said though, I think if not for the rest of the movie that final battle with Leo and Lord N. was pretty badass. I just hated the ending when Leo cut off his 'tail. I mean, it was funny, but it made Leo out to be somewhat bi-polar. He gets really angry during that battle, grinding his teeth and stuff, and then just snaps back into OT joke-ster.

Thoughts on TMNT III Leo?

Other than giving CPR to that Yoshi kid and clashing steel with Lord Norinaga, he was just there.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking for the most part. I liked him though. I think because Raphael was fairly mild in this movie and didn't majorly freak out at any point, it didn't give Leo enough spotlight to "be/act the leader," maybe?

Although he did display some quick thinking skills as leader when he thought up that "bluff" at the end against Walker.

FearlessLeader · 04-11-2011, 01:43 PM

Not being overly fond of the 3rd film personally I can't really make an in-depth analysis as I have only watched it a hand full of times compared to the other 3 films.

I will say one Leo part that always sticks with me is when the guys are trying to improve their riding skills and in the background you just see Leo ride by while standing on the back off the horse. And one of his brothers just says something like "I really hate that guy."

It gave me a good laugh and is probably one of my favorite moments of the movie.

deadpoolRKO · 04-11-2011, 01:52 PM

i agree that he was somewhat bi-polar in that third one. especially in that last battle.

Also , they made him better than the other turtles , like when they're all trying to ride the horses and falling and getting embarrassed.

Then you see leo ride by standing up already having mastered the art of horse riding. lol.

Bjarni · 04-11-2011, 09:10 PM

While Donatello has been my favorite for years, but recently Leonardo has become my favorite.
Also if there's a solo Turtle story, the Leo ones are the best.
