Splinter's favorite Turtle

*cowabunga14* · 09-11-2005, 04:14 PM

What turtle do you guys think is Splinter's favorite and why? I'd say Leonardo cuz he's the most dedicated and he spends the most time with Splinter. I have included a poll.

No, you haven't.

EDIT: Oh, nothing now. I say Leo.

*Weapon X* · 09-11-2005, 04:20 PM

I don't exactly know why Splinter would have a "favorite" out of his four sons, but If I had to choose I'd say Leo.

Shadow Leonardo · 09-11-2005, 04:40 PM

Splinter probaly doesn't like one out of the other he loves all of them equally I believe.

I agree because it's his family. He may favor them in different ways but if it came down to choosing one over another I doubt he could...

I agree with Shadow Leonardo and Tinuvielsdreams. Splinter is not the kind of parent to choose a favorite over the others.

Now if the poll was "Who does Splinter connect with best", then I would say Leonardo.

OA · 09-11-2005, 05:02 PM

I also agree with all of the above...Splinter would just as readily lay down and die for any one of them as he would for another...IMO he clearly loves them all equally and favors none, not even the slightest..

And I agree with you Ry that he probably connects best Leo, mainly becasue Leo is clearly on a different spirtual level than any of the other 3...and we all know how spirtual Splint is...

i say leonardo cause splinter wants him to be the leader someday

*KROW* · 09-11-2005, 06:08 PM

I picked Donatello. Why? Well, my train of thought reached this conclusion.

He's the only one out of the four that have no clear strong standout characteristic, other than his technological and scientific intelligence. He also seems to be the only one who gives Splinter the least amount of trouble. He's not overly passionate about his training as Leonardo is, he doesn't lose his cool like Raphael, and he doesn't get distracted like Michaelangelo tends to do. He's easier to deal with all-around.

I agree that Splinter simply could not choose one, but as far as being able to live with 24/7/365, I think he might pick Donatello; Leonardo a close second, of course.

*Masked Ninja* · 09-11-2005, 07:40 PM

That's like asking someone to pick a favorite kid. I can't vote on this one.

Splinter might be most likely to be friends with Leo if they weren't in a father-son relationship. But having raised the Turtles from tiny little squirts, he has seen each of them grow and improve and conquer personal hardships. He also has watched them for fifteen plus years and sees what each contributes to the family, how they can be so different and yet have such unity.

So no, he would definitely not choose one. If it came to a decision of losing one and sparing the others, Splinter would be more likely to sacrifice himself if there was any chance his death could save all four. He's the dad - that's what he does.

*Spitfire* · 09-11-2005, 09:42 PM

Splinter wouldn't favor any of them over the other. He loves them all equally. All of them are fun to teach. Leo gets it but sometimes is cocky, Mikey is fun loving, Don always gives his full attention and adds his own style to it, and Raph has rage that needs to be worked on.

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 09-11-2005, 10:37 PM

I think he likes Raph the most.

Leonardo Mystic · 09-11-2005, 11:29 PM

I agree with the majority here. Splinter would and does not favor one over the other. Therefore, this poll/topic seems very pointless to me.

I agree with almost everyone here. This has to be one of the most pointless polls (besides the verses ones) that I've ever seen.

**GK Punk** · 09-12-2005, 12:15 AM

I also agree with the majority, he loves them all equally...

oh man... those were brutal

*The Stryker* · 09-12-2005, 02:41 AM

His favorite is Rob Van Dam

*Buslady* · 09-12-2005, 08:19 AM

Splinter shouldn't if he does favor one over the other but parents aren't perfect.
Take my gramma for instance, she loves ALL of the kids,grandkids,etc...but her first born, my uncle will always be special. Same with me, if i have another someday, I'll love #2 as much as Chris but Chris is my first kid and he'll always be special.

I really doubt Splinter favors one over the other, but like one other mentioned, he connects with Leo better.

SeaThreePeeO · 09-12-2005, 08:23 AM

Very true, parents aren't perfect. There can be times when you dislike your children as much as you love them.

I would say that Splinter loves his sons dearly and tries to treat them equally, but I also think he has favourite 'traits' in each of his sons.
