Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Killed Off Donatello
Tech Times – The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic hasn’t been one of the most-read in years, but the writers are hoping to change that by going a bit over to the dark side. Bear in mind that what we have to talk about below is overrun with spoilers!!! In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue No. 44, Donatello is killed in action, and we are not talking about a death where he gets to come back at the end of the story. In all seriousness, Donatello is dead, and his death was quite gruesome. Writers Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman, who is the co-creator ofTMNT, has committed to a plan to make the Turtles more grounded in reality. Usually, the word “grounded” is mostly used by DC and Warner Bros., but now it appears others are taking notice and going this route with their comics. How did Donatello’s death happen? Well, from what we have read in the comic, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo were on a mission to stop Krang from transforming the earth using an alien device called the “Technodrome.” As for Donatello, he was left at the home base running command, and Shredder knew about this. Shredder, who had no intention to let the Turtles mess with his plan, ordered Bebop and Rocksteady to kill Donatello should anything go awry. As expected, something did, and thus the duo attacked the Turtles’ home base in hopes to put an end to the smartest Turtle in town. Donatello made a valiant and brave effort to fend off Rocksteady and Bebop. He even had help from Metalhead, who was being controlled by Harold Lillia. Despite having help, the evil duo was too much, and both heroes fell. Rocksteady used his sledgehammer to crush Donatello’s shell, but he did not die right away. Angel Bridge came along to find the crashed Turtle and attempted to help, but she could not, and surprise, surprise — Donatello passed away.
Rest in peace to the lamest of Ninja Turtles. The “brains” in any super hero group never gets any love. Everybody loves Michelangelo because hes the goofball with nunchucks. Raphael is the asshole of the crew who doesnt take any shit. Leonardo is kind of a square but hes got the double swords and he’s considered the leader so you gotta respect him. And then there is…was…Donatello. The smart guy with a stick. That doesnt exactly get the turtle pussy wet. Brains and a bo staff ain’t ever gonna get any respect.
But there’s one thing thats undeniable about Donatello and his weapon of choice – it was absolutely 100% the best weapon in the original TMNT Nintendo game:
That stick stretched across like half the screen. With one swing you took out like every bad guy on the TV. So for that alone, Donatello deserves some props. But clearly if you’re gonna kill off a Turtle its Big D biting the bullet first.
You know who I’m pumped for though? Beebop and Rock Steady. They’ve been trying to kill these fucking Turtles for like 25 years now. Doing all of Shredders bitch work and what not. Getting bossed around by a fucking brain sitting inside a robot body. Never once succeeding. Well good for them. Finally got the job done for once. Or did they!
Come on you know nobody every really dies in the comics. TMNT is a 4 Turtle Gang for life. They cant exist as just a trio.
