I want to say I love Leo and Raph their dynamic is so fun this is one of the few shows where the dynamics is the whole point lol

tmnt team dynamics my beloved

It’s interesting to me how different shows interpret their dynamic, too. I haven’t seen ‘07 so I don’t know how fierce it gets. But I remember when watching rise noting how close Raph and Leo were. It made me realize how often there’s an older sibling solidarity between the two.

They’re both just trying to keep the family safe, they just go about it in different ways or have different ideas on how to do that.

Nothing like using your imagination to play with a new friend! I was so excited when I saw Jotaro’s name pop up

Leo is S T R E S S E D about getting everybody’s order right

Let me tell you! I’ve gained a whole new level of appreciation for @annaliearts ‘s turtle designs. These fellas are so charming! I’m in love with the closing plastron that looks like a turtleneck, I wanna know how Raph and Leo got their scars, and the story between April and Casey is my favorite!!

Congrats on 10K!!! I hope you like this!

Honestly you are right the relationships are the important parts. If anything o get a sense you are pretty unbiased I like that. I do wish fit to see more raph angsting over fearing himself.

In ‘03, Don was given SAINW to explore what was at stake with Shredder. Leo gave us a whole arc to explore the anxieties/frustrations of an immortal Shedder and the potential cost of getting rid of him. BUT IMAGINE!! An episode about Raph’s guilt!

It would explore the pre and post-Shredder life and the effects constant fights have had on each of them and the family dynamic. Raph notices how Leo never makes time for himself anymore, Don is consumed by his projects, and Mikey is more withdrawn about his interests.

Raph would progressively do more and more reckless things in hopes of getting rid of the Foot (but in reality it’s just to block out all the stress and fears he has).

I imagine Raph would think he instigated the first fight, and then all the fights that came after. And so he alone has to shield his family from the worst of it.

I don’t think you mentioned it but in general how to you rank the turtles from favorite to least favorite if you have a least favorite

That might be impossible for me to do!

Having a plot only surrounding one of the turtles would be good but I think it would loose it’s ✨tmnt charm✨

The relationships between the brothers are probably my favorite thing about any series. I like to see how different characters clash and collaborate within the plot.

With that said, some series are definitely better at this than others. For example, MM!tmnt put a lot more emphasis on Leo than any of the other turtles. It was a really good movie! But I missed seeing the others on screen. I think the others could have helped elevate the impact of the plot if only they were given more screen time.

The 2003 series did a great job at giving each brother their own lives outside of the main plot but I also think they could’ve explored Mikey and Raph’s fears about the main plot a little better. I was really intrigued by Raph’s fear of hurting his family and would’ve like to see how that contributes to his fights more.

I do find some characters more relatable than others. In general I relate with Leo and Donnie the most, but I tend to appreciate what Raph’s character does more.

Mikey sadly is one of those characters that is perpetually underdeveloped in every series. I think Rise did the best at giving him conflict and character growth. Giving the brothers concrete ages really elevated the show!

I guess what I’m getting at is that all the brothers need to feel like a favorite character in order to make the show work. If they aren’t a favorite then it feels like weaker writing. This franchise is about a family unit learning to work as a team, and teams need every member to be essential in order to get things done.

Thank you for the ask!! 😊

I kind of have the dynamic backwards here buuuuut eh.

In the Usagi Yojimbo comics, Gen thinks Usagi takes life too seriously. They have a sort of friendemy dynamic ig.

But in my personal au Gen is like an older brother trying to keep Usagi out of trouble. Usagi on the other hand is very reckless due to ✨trauma✨

There’s a lot of things Usagi is not ready to admit to himself yet that Gen just keeps pushing to the surface.
