I like how Mikey ends up mastering all his brother's weapons to the degree that they did as Ronin

Did you know that Michelangelo is the most naturally skilled out of all of them?

Leo: Learn to kill Raph: Learn patience Donnie: Understand simplicity Mikey: Become focused

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

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.

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

mikey isnt dumb hes just silly

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

Bro… Mikey is NOT dumb! That’s why he was the last living turtle and the best one of them all

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

Thas why Donnie has the best staff combos that are so cool

"leo never wants to kill" what about those times that he cut off shredder's head without any hesitation lmao

Donnie over here being the smartest, he could easily make the worlds deadliest weapon. They gave him a stick.

“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!!

I’ve been watching TMNT since I was 7 and never noticed that.

Mikey definitely Isn’t dumb!🧡 Leo is a sweetheart 💙 Ralph is rly a big baby❤️ And donnie is suppperr smart and creative 💜

bruh mikey is not the dumb one, he’s just very wholesome and chill that thinks outside the box

mikey is the most skilled and focused he just wants to eat pizza and he is not dumb he just likes to have fun

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

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

Him: Sais are for defense Mileena: Say hello to mah little friends!

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.

Side note. Just because you can’t focus doesn’t mean your dumb.

Mikey is that party animal he's not dumb lol

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.

We learn that mikey is probably the most skilled out of the brothers in the comics

Any tmnt fan would know this… Mikey is the most naturally skilled of the 4.

"And Michaelangelo dumb one" nah they did bro dirty💀

Wow! I've been watching tmnt since I was 4 and I never realized that.

Definitely heard a better theory that how many of those pieces but when in depth more for each one of the characters and attitudes.

Mikey isn't dumb he acts like a little kid since he is the youngest

mikey is not dumb hes just the chill turtle and the most funny turtle plus mikey just wants to chill

Says Mikey dumb when in the cgi one he can fight while just listening to music

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

Even the author didn't think that deep

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.

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.

You know what I'm actually happy with this vid cus they also used TMNT 2012 images as well

"Michaelangelo is the most talented, and naturally gifted of all his brothers." -Master Splinter

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.

Now you got me looking for the movie because I haven't seen this version yet

I knew this from the OG movies.

Never noticed this! 😂

I love ninja turtles. I grew up watching it, so this theory is one of my favorites.

so in a way their reflections of eachother

No, the creators did a Netflix interview and they stated that it was absolutely random

Michaelagelo"the dumb one" ends up being the most skilled turtle

Mikey is like my brother not dumb but just insecure and needs his brother's to be there for him when he needs it.

I have nunchucks but i hit myself in the balls with the nunchucks

I feel happy to see a theory for a children franchise that isn’t just ‘they are all dead and this is the afterlife’

As a martial artist and a tmnt fan (80s) you're actually right on this. First time.

Daaaaaamn! This guy is an absolute badass!

“Michelangelo is the dumb one he can never focus” Ouch

As a martial arts instructor that totally makes sense.

Donatello was always into technology and relied on technology ever since he was little thats why he was givin the stick 🐢

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

Michelangelo ain’t dumb he’s just a little slow and smart when he needs to be

Bro thinking of Mike going from "I love pizza" to the dude who kills the main characters for fun as Ronin 💀💀

The staff is also just to teach him that sometimes just hit a problem with a stick.

I was playing with my twin in jerks and I hear my face with it

Let me know you want the answer, I personally know the man who conceptualized them or claims to, his name is "Lorenzo". Shalūm

The OG comics gave them different weapons so the reader could tell them apart because they originally all had the same colour bandanas

“And Michelangelo’s the dumb one”💀

in TMNT 2012 Donnie's stick has a little blade if you press the middle

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.

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've heard a lot of crazy theories, but this one about the TMNT actually makes sense.

I also heard that Leonardo is given two swords which are both two-handed swords so that he can learn the burdens of leadership in that you have to take care of your group as well as the mission at hand.

Mikey was always the best. Ronin proved that

I’m sure these guys wouldn’t know anything about a long stick except that Donatello uses one

Well in the original show I highly doubt raph will want to just kill he was not violent just rude and I don't think leo would kill. And in the 2012 show splinter gave them the weapons and explained why and not for those reasons.( lone rat and cubs) 2003 nothing really disproves it. But in rise they have difrent weapons. Also this would not make sense in the mirage comics.

Love his passion behind the subject matter

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

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

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.

This makes so much sense i feel dumber now because I didn't know this before. See, dumber isn't even a word.

The full reason on why Michelangelo has nunchucks is because he has to learn to focus and to take his training more seriously

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

When making shit up, I finally sounded good

In all the strang unnatural situations they’ve been In Michelangelo has been the one to rise above & takeover the situation with his natural ability to be completely awesome

This guy got everything figured out

This is the reason my dad told me, I assumed it was canon

Mbappe is Michelangelo 😂

“Mike.. the dumb one?..” “Nah nah nah,” “The last ronin…..”

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.

Mikey actually mastered all the other weapons. Nunchucks are the hardest weapon to learn heance why he uses them

the creator: I only added the weapons to each turtle because they just looked cool😂

Danggg that’s deep.

Michealangelo has garaunteed adhd they said he cannot focus so he might be diagnosed with adhd

Mikey is not dumb at least when it comes to fighting if if i remember right he mastered all of his brothers Weapons.

“That’s so weird, I never knew that sais were meant for defense” 🤖🤖🤖

this isn't a theory, master splinter literally says it.

I love this fact so much

Y’all really showing AQW swords like I wouldn’t notice 😂😂😂

Bro…. Donatello isn’t a boy 😭😭

First Believable cartoon conspiracy since the earth is dead in the kirby universe

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

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

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.
