#the 1987 turtles are the cool wise uncles

Makes me wonder if Mikey's character will eventually shed the "surfer dude" personally that David Wise gave him in 1987. When I asked Wise why he had specifically made Mikey such a strong comedic relief character that he wasn't in Mirage, he said "He looks stupid and it's really cute, I loved making him weird and dumb" and I never forgot that.

OBSESSED with how this movie is picking up on so many previous styles but it’s SO GOOD like

Certain angles of Leo in the MM trailer makes him look like Jim Henson’s 1991 Leo

You got the first time Donnie was ever loaded with gear and accessories Michael Bay style circa 2014/2016

Raph got the combo-wombo of Bay 2014/2016 and ROTTMNT. Not only his bandana but even the shape of his body/plastron (more square/stocky)

MIKEY! BABY BOY WITH THE DEEPST VOICE OF THE 4. He is so interesting because he doesn’t look like any other version of Mikey other than really the 1987 cartoon and a teeeny bit of 2k3. They kept him very classic but SO iconic.

CHEF’S KISS
