I love watching the other series and comparing how the characters are presented in each iteration. It’s honestly so interesting to see how each series tackles the same base concept and I genuinely haven’t found one I didn’t enjoy/haven’t been enjoying.
michelangelo once got a job to deliver pizza so he could earn money
leonardo is an avid reader and loves the three musketeers
donatello gave up coffee at one point during season 3
raphael and michelangelo seem to be closest to the punk frogs and visit them often
all of them seem to have separation anxiety, leonardo the most.
all of them enjoy gaming, but leonardo has beaten every game at the arcade and is ridiculously competitive.
also since leonardo has beaten every game at the arcade and we know there’s math games there bc donatello said he likes them, either leonardo is good at math or he’s just a really good guesser
leonardo is a talented artist.
donatello has a college degree under the name “miss donna tello”
raphael enjoys creating disguises and is the most stylish of the turtles when it comes to their clothing.
raphael seems to have an interest in pirates
donatello has model planes in his room
leonardo is allergic to ragweed
raphael dislikes the supernatural, meanwhile donatello refuses to believe it exists despite seeing multiple ghosts in person.
michelangelo has perfect pitch
donatello cries at happy endings
donatello loves the noir genre/aesthetic, and likes to narrate what he’s doing like he’s in a noir film
the turtles were mutated straight into teenagers, and it’s implied several times they remember their lives before they were mutated, including their turtle family members. leonardo has drawings of his turtle relatives on his bedroom wall.
donatello has a kill count of 2 (from what i remember)
It’s probably obvious by now that I love literally every turtle however I have noticed I do not talk about them all in the same way. Here’s a helpful graphic of how I show my affection. Or. Or whatever these emotions are.
Shout out to all the TMNT fans still rambling on and on about those turtles, some shows may have ended like almost 30yrs ago while others 4 or so, some pieces of media may only be one movie long while others an entire comic series, but you still keep going.
