I have been really into a podcast called The Mutant Season with 9 year old Gil. It is a podcast on the Nerdist network where a 9 year old interviews people he is interested in. Today I listened to a conversation with Kevin Eastman, co-creator of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the chat they discussed how your favorite Turtle says a lot about your personality:
“People identify with different Turtles for different reasons, sometimes it’s because they are like them, and they want to be a little goofy like Michelangelo. Or they are more of a leader and they want to be like Leonardo… which no one mentioned today. No one wants to be the responsible one, that’s the one that sends you to bed on time.”
Which made me think. My favorite Ninja Turtle was always Leonardo. Even when I was a little kid, I felt bad for him because he just wanted to get shit done and the other three couldn’t get it together. You know, they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if they had just listened to Leonardo more.
I feel like that says a lot about my sometimes grating personality…

Who was your favorite Turtle and why?
