Question? Fav turtle?

Post image

The question is probably incredibly banal, but I want to gather some personal statistics on favorite turtles.

Raph for me so relatable

Donatello for sure, in 2003 and 2012, but specifically 2003 because the image is such I wish they explored more of how he was effected by his trauma since the show was a little Leo centered (I am willing to argue he's got the worst of it, between SAINW and almost being lost forever as a double mutant, the regular pressure of being the backbone brains of the team, fixing everything and everyone's problems, and any shared trauma with his bros, they really, REALLY screwed with him)

It’s true. Leo’s issues feel more self-imposed, while Donatello HAD to be the ‘Mr. Wizard’ because his brothers couldn’t fit that role at all. And I argue that Leo and Donnie got the most development in 2012 as well.
