“…You think you know everything. Well, let me tell you about boys who know everything. They don’t. They should listen to their fathers…who know everything!”
Donnie seems to do an awful lot of cowering. Also he continues to be the only turtle who has called for help multiple times in various episodes.
Makes sense, considering he’s a softshell turtle and can get hurt more easily than his brothers. But I just find it so interesting that he’s always the first one to go into defensive mode or call for help because of his cocky personality.
It makes him such an interesting character to me. I think that Donnie KNOWS he’s fragile, which makes him more jumpy and prone to call for help. But I think that deep down, he HATES having to do it.
You know how desperately he wants recognition for his inventions…..maybe there’s a reason why he feels obligated to make all this fancy tech….maybe to….make up for his shell and fragility perhaps?
