But he still said it. His lips moved to form the word, and it's wasn't a coloring mistake.

I call em Mike,Raph,Leo and Donnie. Ya know it's like they're part of my family in a way. I dunno...im wierd.

You know when I was watching the classic series of the TMNT when I was younger I always got the empresion that they where a family and not just a bunch of friends hanging around and living together.

Where the new TMNT and the classic one differ is that the classic one they all act like the are a suragate family or adopitive family. So the TMNT where family but not a blood realated family. In the new toon the TMNT act like they are a bilogical family, like they are all blood relations with one another.

And yes In the classic series I do specifically remeber hearing Splinter call the TMNT as his "sons", and he has on occassion said that they are brothers as well. Its not to often but he has said it on more than one occasion before. Splinter from the old series behaved like an adoptive father to the TMNT rather than a bilogical father like he does in the curent series. Which is actually more acurate in some respects because I dubt that they are all from the same litter of eggs. But doesn't matter because they all grew up together and thus they where brothers. **shruggs**

And actually I rather like it when the the TMNT call each other by their full names. Mostly because the TMNT have distingushed and unique names that is rather rare, and it is kind of a shame that they chop it up and make it so ordinary.

I feel the same way about my little sisters name, she has a very pretty name in my personal opinion and some people chop it up and shorten it, and I feel it takes away what is special about her name. But hey thats just me. And I guess you are right though about the TMNT useing their full names as being rather formal, but to be honest I never thought of it as that way, I wicked loved the TMNT's names and saying them when I was younger (though I used to have a hard time saying Leonardo's name sometimes).

In the new toon I have to say I don't really mind any more that they abriveate their names with one another. Because that seves as a an indication to how the turtles are feeling at any given time. For instance I notice the turtles only call each other by their full names when they are really pissed of at each other, or if one of them is in danger they call out their full names, or if they are feeling very serious at a particualr moment.

If what I said makes any sence.

*XERO* · 08-13-2005, 11:45 PM

Sorry, Sage. I didn't mean any disrespect. Please forgive me.

I was being sarcastic but okay, how could I be offended by the pure white 5th turtle

I prefer when they address each other with their full names - they're much more melodic than the abbreviated versions. Especially "Michaelangelo" is good one in this case.
