Donnie's pacifism - Page 2

In majority of the Turtles incarnations, it has been often hinted or implied that Donnie has a pacifistic nature.

While at it's core pacifism does mean the person has a strong dislike towards violence and killing. But it's actually more of a spectrum then an aversion.

All the versions of Donatello seem to fit in the area of the spectrum that does agree that fighting is necessary but will prefer to use non-lethal ways of taking out an opponent. Yet if driven too it they will kill an opponent but suffer emotional backlash as a result.

In this incarnation I get the impression that Donatello has not accepted that part of himself as of yet. And perhaps he could be a better fighter once he learns to accept his own nature when it comes to fighting vs. fighting the same way his brothers do.

What do you guys think?
