watched the 14-year-old live-action movie " Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" a few days ago, and saw a friend commenting that he didn't know who the four brothers were when watching the movie. Based on my own feelings, I will briefly talk about how to distinguish them. Warm discussions and rational exchanges are welcome.

The first is the name. We know that the names of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came from the masters of the Renaissance era, namely Da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo. When you see this, you may ask: Why is the order of your name different from what people are used to saying? Why is Raphael not behind Da Vinci?

Indeed, according to everyone's usual speaking habits, the names of the three masters of Renaissance art should naturally be put together. From the perspective of animation and movies, Raphael, who has a hot personality, and Michelangelo, who is eccentric, often have a lot of roles, like two males and three males, while Donatello is relatively low-key and always ranks first. At last. But if the seats are really ranked according to age, Donatello is a real second brother.



The distinction between four people is also very simple, just look at the color of the blindfold.

The eldest brother Leonardo da Vinci is wearing a blue eye patch, and his weapon is a pair of knives. He is serious and calm, stable and atmospheric, with leadership temperament and team spirit. According to the stills, his blindfold also has the words "Xiko", which means "son" in Japanese, which also means that he attaches the most importance to brotherhood and feelings.


Wearing a purple eye patch is the second child, Donatello, and the weapon is a long stick. He is low-key and creative, loves to read, and has a fanatical pursuit of knowledge and technology. Because he often invented things, he was nicknamed "Einstein" by his brothers. This is a nickname, not a name. From the stills, you can also see all kinds of equipment on him.



Wearing a red eye patch is the third Raphael, and the weapon is ten hands (similar to an iron ruler). He has a fiery personality and is reckless and impulsive. When encountering an accident, he always charged forward alone, and often clashed with the prudent Leonardo da Vinci. In the stills, there is a big word for "angry" at the top of his turban, and a word for "beast" at the foot of the towel. And he is also the one with the most scars on his body and the roughest skin.



Wearing an orange eye patch is the fourth Michelangelo, and the weapon is a nunchaku. He has a cheerful and lively personality, and is best at gags and jokes.



The characters of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the same as those represented by the colors of their blindfolds. Recognizing the blindfold will never misidentify their identities.
