[@Narut0xSasuk3]

You know what I noticed. In the episode where Donnie made his brothers smart as him and then regrets it later on because his brothers weren't their usual selves and his designs made him unique outta the group and feel useful. In the 2014/2016 version. Can't remember which movie it was but Leo wished that his brothers think the same way as him, so they would understand how he felt or be on the same page. But Splinter told him, that his brothers didn't need to think the same as him because then they wouldn't have there own fighting styles but because of this it could help them win battles and because it all made them special in different ways. Anyways I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought this. Just thought it would be cool to share

[@pancakesontop]

It was 2012 I think

[@Narut0xSasuk3]

@jazzy arts 2012 is the 3D version I'm not sure if they brought the subject up in any of the episodes. But it was in the 2016 bayverse version. It's when Donnie found out the ooze can make them human but Leo declined and wished to never bring it to his brothers attention. Mikey eavesdrop, told Raph, he confronted Leo and that's when Leo walked off angry and Splinter had the talk with Leo.

[@pancakesontop]

@Naruto Uzumaki well then Ig it comes up in both ( I think in the ep where leo meets karia land also in the ep when they face the robo foot bots for the first time)

[@k-dogg9086]

It was in the 2016 movie. That roast they had for each other in the plane was brutal. Yes, Leo had been known to be a jerk at times. Even back in the 87 cartoon there were times he went bs, and even started with Raph.. till Leo backed off being intimidated by Raph. And this was in the first cartoon too.

[@yourlocaltherapistfriend5091]

I'm like donnie and leo 50/50 with my own personal ✨spice✨ autism and adhd, is overly flamboyant sometimes, makes jokes, often jokes about own insecurities, heavily infodumps at the mention of any special interest, difficulty displaying emotion so replaces with words (sad face emoji), loom 16 take corridor B down the stairs past the ibis tapestry sliding bookcase after bookcase shows the way to the hall up the pole through a hole to the waterfall donatello with the book in has hand saves the day and proves to everyone that he is the man popo comes in and takes him away but Donnie D will live to fight another day, and sensory issues

HELP ME HIS FUCKING. LIBRARY RAP

[@izzy-g6m9i]

11:32 made me forget how to breath i was laughing so hard

[@nuraolblast1721]

I love how Donnie, sometimes, doesn't feel his face properly. Just like me lmao. Please people, always be aware of you face and facial expression. Not feeling right and making weird faces can creat early wrinkles and weaken your facial muscles. You need them to mask and deceive, remember ?

[@cynthiablanksma821]

Where so relateble, im also always dumping zelda info when nobody ask it😂😂

[@dillycat3954]

I haven't watched this yet but donnie just so reminds me of kuzco from the emperors new groove.

[@IEATPAPERXD]

Me and my little sister died from laugher when Donnie dancing in the background.

[@chim_chim7344]

6:16 AH OMG that reminds me of Abed (another autistic fictional character I like a normal amount) he says cool cool cool, exactly 3 times and likes pop culture references

[@Echo16006]

Yes I like Donnie a normal amount. I definitely didn't spend all night reading Donnie fanfics on Wattpad.

[@Montesama314]

People have lauded this show's animation, but I think the voice acting is expressive too.

[@saralily0977]
