"Is a mutant turtle, named after an Italian and raised by a Japanese rat, meant to be black in any meaningful sense?"
I'm gonna say no. |

This is because of the original action figure, isn't it? Or that the Platinum Dunes version looks like Andre Meadows?

Although CyberCubed bumped this thread, I'm legitimately shocked that he is not the one who made it.

2007 was just before geek culture became cool and things went to hell, **** the MCU and big bang theory.

The original toyline making his skin darker probably contributed to this:
Always found it weird they did this when in the original cartoon they're all the same shade of green. |

Does Donnie give off any certain cues that would suggest he's anything but a turtle?
Further, what exactly does it mean to be black? Can any non-black person really say? I certainly dont know. I DO THINK IF the TMNT suddenly got turned human, DON would be the whitest SOB you ever met. He's a geek! He'd most certainly have coke-bottle glasses with tape in the middle, wear high-water pants and probably be dressed like FRED ROGERS. Don is the science nerd. He'd probably have a high-pitched voice and have like a peanut allergy or something. IF he didnt know martial arts, Jocks would beat him up for his lunch money. Girls would laugh at him and call him names. |

Quit cribbing Michael Bay's character notes.
FFS, I hate all the nerd stereotypes everyone wants to apply to Donatello...

Kinda surprised nobody has debated the color of Mikey's surfboard! Leo and Raph can get stereotyped too... as the teacher's pet lover of authority and.. as the angsty teenager... so... |

of course my response depends on the incarnation... I dont think Mirage Don would be a stereotypical nerd, nor IDW... only those versions where the tech side outweighs his ninja side... like all of the more silly, childish versions (Bay turtles etc.) If Don has to be seen with a bunch of gadgets on his belt or scopic binocular headgear then yeah, he'd be a total geek... the more serious versions, probably not!

Anyway this thread is from like 2007 and TTN was a lot younger at the time. He probably doesn't even remember making this thread. And he might have just been joking, who knows. Let's not shame people for threads they made over a decade ago when they were most likely still teenagers, Cybercubed.. Last edited by Prowler; 02-15-2021 at 09:04 PM. |
