Is Leo the worst leader

 Ok, this is one thing I need to dig deep on. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Everyone knows who they are. Four turtles fighting crimes. Stopping the evil shredder, trying to find out who they are in a world that doesn't except them as normality.

   Starting around the eighties, there was a cartoon called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.

   Four Turtles were named after four Italian Renaissance men. Leo from Leonardo DaVinci, Mikey from Michelangelo David, Donatello from Donatello Bardi, and Raphael from Rafaello Urbino.



   Out of all of them, Leo was considered the leader. In Movies, and tv shows (including the new one called "Rise of the Turtles") I have always noticed something. Leo is not the best with helping his brothers out in a jam.

  Even with his guidance from his supposed father, Master Spinter, a giant sewer rat that found them when they were normal turtles, it seems that he couldn't find the right answer.

Even in the horrible Michael Bay movies, it seems Leo can't do anything right.
  In the old cartoon, I've noticed that none of them use their weapons. They would use pizza as a weapon. Well, interesting, but still Leo was not the best Leader in that as well.


    The one's I've been watching was the 2012 version from Nickelodeon. It was 'interesting', 'nice', but did it work?
   YES!

Mostly because not only did they understood the past cartoon from the eighties, but it entertained children from the past, present and future. It made Leo a leader that tries to find himself, and in this version, it seems that it made him less of a leader, and more of a problem.

  Raph was still the tough one, Mikey the goofy one and Donatello the braniac. If I have to put it in another word...

 
 Think of them as the Beatles.

  JOHN= LEO
  PAUL= RAPH
  GEORGE=DONATELLO
  and of course RINGO= MIKEY.  

  So, does that mean John was a bad singer? GOD NO! But it's just another way of saying how they would be.

  Then why is Leo such a bad leader? Is it because he has to be the one to save his brothers from danger? Or if he doesn't do a good job, he would displease Splinter?
I feel that all the characters have their weaknesses, but I fear it shows more in Leo than the other three.

  From the old cartoon, to the new one (which I'm not a big fan of) to the good and bad of the movie franchise. It shows. Leo may not be the best at leading, but he tries his hardest to not only impress his master, but his brothers too.

  Raph can sometimes hold a grudge, Mikey can be a goofball at the wrong time, and with Donatello, he fears that the plans he comes up with, won't work.

    ALL FOUR HAVE FLAWS, and with Leo's more visible to us, it doesn't mean he's the worst leader, he tries his hardest make everything work out right.

Till then, remember, everyone has flaws, and we always try to fix it (even if we are a cartoon) it comes from the minds, of the creators.


   HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
