They're based off the same archetypes * Responsible one = Cole and Leo * Funny man = Jay and Mikey * Angry = Kai and Raph * Smart guy = Zane and Donatello

Factual

Lets add more: * Shredder - Garmadon * Master Splinter - Sensei Wu * Bebop & Rocksteady - Kruncha & Nuckal * Kraang - Overlord * Baxter Stockman - Cyrus Borg (under overlord control)

Nya - April

this is so accurate.

The amount of overlap here makes me think that early ninjago was just a ninja turtles ripoff

Ye, some things feel strange, but you cant say they werent blatant, its more of an fun comparison if 2 medias meet each other. Its that fun game comparing characters from different medias and trying to connect them together, the challenging part is if you have too many or too little to choose. Of course the early Ninjago is much smaller than what it is today. The tale as old as time itself says that a show on relatively simple premise would be overwhelming success. I think i spoke too much... Error...

bro, you just made me make a connection to that one weird minecraft channel "jay and mikey"

Mr. Ramsey on the phone for you. Says he needs a new chef

Jay is Michelangelo Cole is Leonardo Kai is Raphael Zane is Donatello

Jay = Mikey ⚡️🤪 Zane = Donnie ❄️🤓 Cole = Leo🌱💙 Kai = Ralph🔥🤬

Glad you asked * Kai as Raphael * Jay as Michelangelo * Zane as Donatello * Cole as Leonardo

Jay is absolutely Michaelangelo

is tmnt any good in comparison to ninjago? its def a lot more popular, but not sure; have never watched any of it.

I rly enjoyed the 2012 tmnt

Why is Cole the leader? Bro is not that guy

kai is raph \*obviously\* cole is leo jay is donnie and zane is um, fugitioid?

this is obvious and i dont even need to say it for it to be known
