Well he is the most naturally skilled with his weapon and so would probably be easy to train as he is great at mastering skills like chucks and skating
Donny's the most creative one in the group. He creates every machine they use. He's given the staff, because it's the most simple weapon, cause Donny likes complicated and advanced things, he needs to learn simplicity aswell.
Agreed both to the explanation and the other reply. The way Donny’s reason is presented in the video was super weak compared to the others but this makes it click
Love that explanation ❤ gave me more details also to add if you use the staff correctly it will boost ur strength thats also the reason cs of him not being as strong as he could be. (which he is mentally or emotionally or verbally strong js not physically) to me tho donny is my fav
Don’t forget Michelangelo was the last ronin and since he was all the turtles combined he was also the smart one and Venus was the smart one in Fantasy and old timey knowledge #TMNT
Also if you think about marketing wise, their colors Blue means trust/authority, red means action/energy, orange means optimistic/friendliness, and purple means creativity/individuality Their colors are practically their marketing campaign
That makes so much sense. But Mikey’s not dumb though. He’s just a slacker, and immature And unfocused. He’s also the most naturally gifted of the 4 turtles. It actually comes easier to him than it does his brothers
Raphael might be angry but he doesn't wanna outright kill he's just a little brutal at times the only universe where he flat out wanna kill is the mirage universe and last ronin
In the original comic he was brutal as well I just learned. Apparently he wasn’t always just hot headed and had an attitude. He genuinely enjoyed killing at one point💀
Mikey is not actually the dumb one all he was, was funny and always acted silly but in the song “shell shocked” you can tell it only talks about Mickey that is because his brothers died and he was forced to become serious and not the same funny Mikey he always was especially because splinter died he had to teach himself more about focus and not messing around anymore Edit: I’ve been watching Ninja turtles like when I turned one so I cried when I figured that out Leo was my favorite
@@Hardylivesforever mhm hes the youngest one 👍 hes just pretty much a party bro who makes mistakes but hes not dumb theres times where you can see hes smart
Wanting to kill and needing to kill are two separate things. Leo has never displayed unwarranted killping because he understands the weight of leadership and because he wants to be the best he can for his family.
Tbh, Shredder needed to be gone, So i don’t really blame Leo for killing Shredder, and he didn’t really have a choice tbh, Shredder was the one trying to literally kill them
The bow is for defensive more than Raphael’s , Michael isn’t dumb he is childlike to take away from the honest heart, Donatellois the most scientific, Leo got the sword because he earned it with patience as the one with most gets to wield it
“Michelangelo is the dumb one” Woah woah woah woah.. EXCUSE ME!? He’s a teenager, he ain’t dumb just cuz he acts like a teenager. As Mikey is my favorite one out of all of them, I take this very harshly. Good day to you sir! I said good DAY!!
He is my favorite as well. It's funny they say Leonardo is the one who has katanas because he doesn't like to kill, yet nunchucks are probably the most difficult weapon to find in any local stores out of all the weapons. Real nunchucks I mean. I have never seen anyone that owned a pair in real life, yet I've seen real katanas, real sai, real bo, but not real nunchucks. I also heard they are illegal to own.
Another TMNT theory I found out is their colored bandannas that describe their personality. Blue: It describes cautious, conservative and sensitive to the needs of other, just like Leonardo. Purple: It describes an artistic and unique individual, who is often very intuitive and deeply interested in spirituality, just like Donatello. Red: It describes bold, boisterous, and full of energy, just like Raphael. Orange: It describes witty, spontaneous, generous, optimistic, eager and bold, just like Michelangelo.
I don't really associate raph as wanting to kill. The most recurring trait he showed for me is his passion for those he cares about, which often misplaced makes him hotgeaded and out of control. I've seen this in the 80s movies, the 3d movie and a hint in the newer ones.
In the turtle games, snes, nes and arcade games. Michaelangelo was always the popular character to be chosen as the player character. In all the games he was always the strongest for some reason.
I bet Mikey realized that he could out shine his brothers, but said it was dumb luck or just a goof. He liked their dynamic and didn't care to change it.
I feel like sais being referred to as not being met for killing it's a bit of an overstatement. Yes, they're meant for defense, but... they're point for a reason lol
Leave Mikey alone. He's not dumb. He just lay back type turtle that likes to enjoy live. Mikey pretty smart and in the comic he the last ninja turtles and become ronin. Not only that in series, Mikey outlive all his brother's and become a master with his new students. He teach his students the way of Mikey.
What’s funny is Mikey isn’t dumb at all. I hate when people say that. He’s just goofy and immature, there’s a big difference. He’s proven many times he’s highly intelligent and the most naturally skilled in the group
I find that the head isn't the worst place to mess up with nunchakus. I found the most painful mess up is hitting your finger tips. That hurt for days. Great vid.
And Donnie’s weapon isn’t just a stick it’s a bo staff it’s a very good weapon for range and we see Donnie add stuff to his stick to make it tech themed
Mikey aint dumb he just isnt serious he is also the strongest out of the brothers later in the show becoming stronger than all of his brothers and splinter at the same time
The fact he called Mikey dumb blows my mind. Mikey is the “drunken” style fighter, the one turtle who survived and learned how to master each of his brothers weapons.
Well in the original comics they were killers. Donnie only had a thing with machines after the first issue wich was ment to be a stand alone comic and the shows had to follow the way the comic versions had there weapons.
Mikey is not dumb He’s a pizza, loving fun guy that likes to prank and also he did master all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weapons in the Ronan comics.
They Did Touch About Donnie's Bow Staff In The 2013 Series On Nick! Also, They Banned Mikey's Weapon In The UK Back In The Late-80's/Early 90's Cartoon Because They Were Feared As Being Dangerously Influential To The Young Public When Ironically, The "Turtle Shot" Weapon They Replaced Them With Would Be More Dangerous Due To The Fact It Had More Weaponry Like A Grappling Hook At The End Of It! And Also Counting The Time In Fast Forward When Mikey Supersized His Weapon To Be A Bio-Mech Suit ("If You Can Think It, You Can Make It!)")
Mikey turns dark and non clumsy and i Has donnys smartness and raphs killing and its like if all the turtles powers were switched up and then dies at the end
I always like Elliot Hulse’s analogy of the turtles symbolizing the 4 characteristics of a person; Mikey, the child like carefree prankster. Donnie, the intelligent creative one. Ralph, the aggressive hotheaded one. And Leo, the leader the king
In the original mirage comics, raph used to kill all of the time. He loved killing but all of his brothers killed people out of duty because they were assassins trained by splinter to kill the shredder. Also Donnie has the best and deadliest weapon
I like how Mikey ends up mastering all his brother's weapons to the degree that they did as Ronin
Yes
Wait mickey😅
Mikey*
Well he is the most naturally skilled with his weapon and so would probably be easy to train as he is great at mastering skills like chucks and skating
Thank god mikey is act stupid now Beacuse his family alive now
Did you know that Michelangelo is the most naturally skilled out of all of them?
And this comic he was the last one
Leo is the beast
Ty my ppl say I act like him but he also the Smartest one go watch all the fights the call Mikey idea stupid but it always works at the end
@@spectaculargameclips27 I agree 𓆉

It is a Simple Weapon by looks, but it’s use isn’t simple it’s quite complex
Don’t forget Michelangelo was the last ronin and since he was all the turtles combined he was also the smart one and Venus was the smart one in Fantasy and old timey knowledge #TMNT
Leo: Learn to kill
Raph: Learn patience
Donnie: Understand simplicity
Mikey: Become focused
Also if you think about marketing wise, their colors
Blue means trust/authority, red means action/energy, orange means optimistic/friendliness, and purple means creativity/individuality
Their colors are practically their marketing campaign
You just explained the whole video but without the weapons just the colors😮

eh he's kinda dumb
He has adhd
He was made dumb in the 2012 show tho. I’m gonna say it 3012 Mikey is the worst Mikey.
Indeed, which is why he can goof off during fights and still keep pace with his brothers.

That is not the reason he is alive
Leo was the best turtle He had the toughest fights in the entire series!
Mike is mbappe
Mikey is not actually the dumb one all he was, was funny and always acted silly but in the song “shell shocked” you can tell it only talks about Mickey that is because his brothers died and he was forced to become serious and not the same funny Mikey he always was especially because splinter died he had to teach himself more about focus and not messing around anymore
Edit: I’ve been watching Ninja turtles like when I turned one so I cried when I figured that out Leo was my favorite
The song "shell shocked" was written for the TMNT live action movie and doesn't mean any of that.... wtf are you talking about?
Shell shocked? You mean Last ronin?
Damn that Grammer is awful

Ralph is rly a big baby❤️
And donnie is suppperr smart and creative 💜
"leo never wants to kill"
what about those times that he cut off shredder's head without any hesitation lmao
Wanting to kill and needing to kill are two separate things. Leo has never displayed unwarranted killping because he understands the weight of leadership and because he wants to be the best he can for his family.
Tbh, Shredder needed to be gone, So i don’t really blame Leo for killing Shredder, and he didn’t really have a choice tbh, Shredder was the one trying to literally kill them
That's the lesson
You will need to kill do defend your family
Lowkey if you think about in the 2007 movie he might have killed that dude in the jungle….
Donnie over here being the smartest, he could easily make the worlds deadliest weapon. They gave him a stick.
His stick Is iconic 😭
At least Rise Donnie made his staff more technical and advanced. 😂

In the 87 version it was the first time they had different colors but Raphael was not a hothead he was a wise guy
@@alfredojacome2027 that’s true but in 2003, and 2012 he was totally a hothead

mikey is the most skilled and focused he just wants to eat pizza and he is not dumb he just likes to have fun
"And Michaelangelo dumb one" nah they did bro dirty💀
The writer itself
“Ah this yea… I just wanted them to have weapons you know….”
Mikey has the nunchucks because he's more spiritual than his brothers
And more naturallly gifted than all of them combined
I don't really associate raph as wanting to kill. The most recurring trait he showed for me is his passion for those he cares about, which often misplaced makes him hotgeaded and out of control. I've seen this in the 80s movies, the 3d movie and a hint in the newer ones.
Right with yoshi I was saying the same thing he’s not a psychopath
Mikey’s the “dumb one” but it’s been said multiple times he has the greatest aptitude and natural talent out of all his brothers.
Him: Sais are for defense
Mileena: Say hello to mah little friends!
Except that Mike is the most naturally gifted of the four. Always has been.
Michaelagelo"the dumb one" ends up being the most skilled turtle
Mikey ain't dumb he just slack off sometimes he's goofy all the time and doesn't focus on his training at times but he sure as hell ain't dumb
We learn that mikey is probably the most skilled out of the brothers in the comics
In the turtle games, snes, nes and arcade games.
Michaelangelo was always the popular character to be chosen as the player character.
In all the games he was always the strongest for some reason.
As a martial artist and a tmnt fan (80s) you're actually right on this. First time.
"Michaelangelo is the most talented, and naturally gifted of all his brothers." -Master Splinter
Any tmnt fan would know this… Mikey is the most naturally skilled of the 4.
I feel happy to see a theory for a children franchise that isn’t just ‘they are all dead and this is the afterlife’
Definitely heard a better theory that how many of those pieces but when in depth more for each one of the characters and attitudes.
Wow! I've been watching tmnt since I was 4 and I never realized that.
I think I would be either 🔴🟣
It's disproved often in all versions
Side note. Just because you can’t focus doesn’t mean your dumb.
I bet Mikey realized that he could out shine his brothers, but said it was dumb luck or just a goof. He liked their dynamic and didn't care to change it.
mikey is not dumb hes just the chill turtle and the most funny turtle plus mikey just wants to chill
Bro thinking of Mike going from "I love pizza" to the dude who kills the main characters for fun as Ronin 💀💀
You know what I'm actually happy with this vid cus they also used TMNT 2012 images as well
I love ninja turtles. I grew up watching it, so this theory is one of my favorites.
Mikey is that party animal he's not dumb lol
Never noticed this! 😂
Take that back.. Mikey is smart just loving and carefree like a teenager usually is. It's alright to be playful just depends on the situation.
I have nunchucks but i hit myself in the balls with the nunchucks
All of these seem SO UNNATURAL. I hope to God you guys are reading from a script and don't just naturally sound like bad video game voice actors
Daaaaaamn! This guy is an absolute badass!
I feel like sais being referred to as not being met for killing it's a bit of an overstatement. Yes, they're meant for defense, but... they're point for a reason lol

What you didn't read the comics the because the only person he was training was Casie Marie Jones
Mikey is like my brother not dumb but just insecure and needs his brother's to be there for him when he needs it.
Donatello was always into technology and relied on technology ever since he was little thats why he was givin the stick 🐢
I LOVE NINJA TURTLES.but it's rude that he say that mikey is dumb mikey is not dumb he is just silly and cute
“Mike.. the dumb one?..”
“Nah nah nah,”
“The last ronin…..”
Now you got me looking for the movie because I haven't seen this version yet
“And Michelangelo’s the dumb one”💀
“Michelangelo is the dumb one he can never focus”
Ouch
jokes on you, mikey is not dumb. hes the last ronin.
He's not the last Ronin because of that
The OG comics gave them different weapons so the reader could tell them apart because they originally all had the same colour bandanas
What’s funny is Mikey isn’t dumb at all. I hate when people say that. He’s just goofy and immature, there’s a big difference. He’s proven many times he’s highly intelligent and the most naturally skilled in the group
The full reason on why Michelangelo has nunchucks is because he has to learn to focus and to take his training more seriously
so in a way their reflections of eachother
I find that the head isn't the worst place to mess up with nunchakus. I found the most painful mess up is hitting your finger tips. That hurt for days. Great vid.
*Potter parodies Harry:*
Donnie: "oh cool a ✨stick✨"
Says Mikey dumb when in the cgi one he can fight while just listening to music
Bro if they didn't read the comic they don't know Mikey. He gets badass.

The intro to the original cartoon explains them a little bit too
Michelangelo ain’t dumb he’s just a little slow and smart when he needs to be
The staff is also just to teach him that sometimes just hit a problem with a stick.
I’m sure these guys wouldn’t know anything about a long stick except that Donatello uses one
Y’all really showing AQW swords like I wouldn’t notice 😂😂😂
No, the creators did a Netflix interview and they stated that it was absolutely random
it had to be random because in the original comics they all had the same personality but i still like this theory

I wouldn’t say Mikey is dumb, I think he’s more like energetic because he’s the youngest out of them all, True he can’t really Focus, but still
Not a theory it’s been said in many adaptations. Leo is leadership , Raph is Anger , Mikey is humour and Donny is Knowledge
Love his passion behind the subject matter
“That’s so weird, I never knew that sais were meant for defense” 🤖🤖🤖
Mikey turns dark and non clumsy and i
Has donnys smartness and raphs killing and its like if all the turtles powers were switched up and then dies at the end
This is the reason my dad told me, I assumed it was canon
I was playing with my twin in jerks and I hear my face with it
the creator: I only added the weapons to each turtle because they just looked cool😂
I always like Elliot Hulse’s analogy of the turtles symbolizing the 4 characteristics of a person; Mikey, the child like carefree prankster. Donnie, the intelligent creative one. Ralph, the aggressive hotheaded one. And Leo, the leader the king
Mikey was always the best. Ronin proved that
I've heard a lot of crazy theories, but this one about the TMNT actually makes sense.
No it doesn't watch any TMNT show and it's disproved often
The creators just gave them weapons for a joke. 😂
Bro imagine if rapheal had the katanas
I knew this from the OG movies.
In the original mirage comics, raph used to kill all of the time. He loved killing but all of his brothers killed people out of duty because they were assassins trained by splinter to kill the shredder. Also Donnie has the best and deadliest weapon
“You’ll hurt yourself.”
Picks up a weapon anyways and proceeds to hurt myself with it. “Worth it.”
