>>77183602Raph IMO is the most obnoxious turtle. After watching so many anime about irritating short tempered protagonists I cannot stand Raph's personality. The only time I loved a Short Tempered Protagonist was in Vandread. Why? Because the aggravating wannabe tough guy punk ended up picking a fight with a man who pulled no punches.
The guy lightly flirted with Ibiki's love interest (a girl who Ibiki himself repeatedly told her to get lost til a guy showed casual interest). Ibiki gets mad and tries to beat him up. The man tells him to back off as he will not handle him with the kid gloves.
Ibiki being a generic short tempered lead? Starts the fight and what proceeds is the most deliciously emasculating beating any young man can receive. It's not just the painful punches he endures, it's also the shame of he being publicly brutalized by a stronger man right in front of not just his love interest, but a legion of women. You know that sense of male weakness that women despise in beta males. Seeing that little punk get brutalized like that for instigating a feud with someone who warned him not to? Delicious.
Digression aside, Raphael is very annoying because he steals ALL the spotlight in all the fucking movies. I'm tired of shit dumb thug getting focus. I get Mikey is a dumb retarded ass clown who belongs in a Dreamworks or Adam Sandler movie so you can't do much with him. But Leo and Donnie? They are ignored despite their potential in films.
