Turtle with a purple bandage. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Michelangelo and his battle gear

Heroes with a difficult past.

This week, the sequel to the two-year-old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which grossed almost $500 million in wide release, is being released in Russian cinemas. We decided to recall the main historical moments of some of the most unusual heroes of comic book movies.

1. The Turtles' Creators Loved Martial Arts

The first sketches of future heroes.

Both iconic comic book artists Peter Alan Laird and Kevin Brooks Eastman were martial arts fans. The first studied aikido in his youth, the second adored films with Bruce Lee. That is why the main characters received the loud prefix “ninja”.

2. The names of the main characters were invented as a joke.

Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello. Originals.

Laird and Eastman loved art history, so the idea of ​​borrowing the names of Renaissance masters (Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Santi, Michelangelo Buonarotti, Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi) seemed funny to both creators.

According to the legend of the comic book itself, the sensei of the turtles, the rat Splinter, accidentally found a colorful album with paintings by these artists in a pile of garbage.

3. Turtles was originally a parody of another comic book.

Hero of the Daredevil comic book.

Many fans associate the idea of ​​mutation of the main characters with the story of another comic book character - Daredevil. While saving a man from under the wheels of a truck transporting radioactive substances, he lost his sight. The liquid got into his eyes, depriving him of his vision, but improving his hearing and smell. The Turtles were originally a parody of this hero.

In addition, the comic was similar to Frank Miller's Ronin, about the adventures of a samurai in New York.

4. The heroes did not immediately get multi-colored headbands

Cover of the original comic.

In the original comic there was a lot of aggression and cruelty, the Ninja Turtles themselves were black and white, only the heroes had red armbands on the cover.

Only after the comic became popular the artists “gave” each turtle a bandage a certain color and buckles with letters on belts. Raphael received red, Donatello received purple, orange went to Michelangelo, and blue to the leader of the quartet, Leonardo.

5. Each turtle has its own set of characteristics

All heroes are different.

Leonardo

Date of Birth: 12th of August
Weapon: Punishes enemies with two katanas
Characteristics: Disciplined, inflexible in decisions, constantly argues with the carefree Michelangelo
Chip: Informal team leader. In the 1987 animated series, he has an affair with the ninja girl Lotus

Donatello

Date of Birth: July 1
Weapon: Uses a boken (a long bamboo stick) as a weapon.
Characteristics: Brains of the team, loves technology and science
Chip: In the new film adaptation, the hero has a backpack with gadgets, a headset with a camera and an electronic monocle, and he himself wears glasses. In the 2016 film, Don built the Turtles' signature truck, which has the same number of gadgets as James Bond's cars.

Raphael

Date of Birth: August 22
Weapon: Uses a pair of sai daggers (stiletto-type bladed weapons)
Characteristics: A brutal fighter with an unbalanced psyche
Chip: In the animated series “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” Raphael had an affair with Mona Lisa, a girl who mutated into a lizard

Michelangelo

Date of Birth: November 24
Weapon: Favorite weapon nunchucks
Characteristics: Carefree and frivolous team
Chip: The main optimist of the team. He loves pizza more than anyone else and jokes more often than anyone else. In the 2014 film, the hero breathes unevenly towards April; in the continuation of the story, we expect new advances from the turtle towards the journalist. It was Michelangelo (the turtle with nunchucks) who was the first to draw one of the comic book’s authors, Kevin Eastman.

6. Rocksteady and Bebop, two iconic jerks appear in the new film

Big and stupid.

Two antagonists and assistants to the main villain Shredder, who promise to become one of the main features of the future film, which comes out at the very beginning of June. In the classic animated series, these two mutants were the result of crossing two punk bandits with a rhinoceros and a boar. Both are absolutely stupid.

The names of the heroes indicate musical genres: Bebop is a style in jazz. Rocksteady is a Jamaican style of music (father of Reggae style).

7. Animated series, many and different

For Russian viewers, the heroes of the comic opened the series, which was filmed from 1987 to 1992, the total number of episodes is 193, seasons – 10.

In 2003, Fox Network revived the animated series, which is more similar to the original comics, becoming darker and more dramatic.

In 2012, the Nickelodeon channel premiered an animated series that uses computer graphics.

8. The first film adaptation looks ridiculous now, but it was a hit in 1990

Trailer for a movie from the 90s.

The film about the Turtles, which appeared in 1990, repeated the main story of the appearance of the heroes. With a budget of $13.5 million, the film grossed $201 million worldwide. It is curious that Sam Rockwell played one of the roles in the film.

Don't believe that the film turned out strange? Let's watch the trailer.

9. The Turtles reboot was a success.

Still from the 2014 film.

In 2014, for the 30th anniversary of the franchise, director Jonathan Liebesman shot a new film adaptation of the comic book, released in 3D format.

Fans were unhappy with the new repulsive appearance of the main characters. On the one hand, you can understand them, everyone is accustomed to the cute faces of turtles, on the other hand, look at pictures of a common turtle. From artists new version mutants had every reason for their creativity.

In general, the film turned out to be a kind of symbiosis of the harsh and realistic “The Dark Knight” by Christopher Nolan and #let’s blow everything up here by Michael Bay’s “Transformers”.

The film's budget was $125 million, and worldwide grosses were $493 million ($29 million in Russia).

10. The second part of the new “Turtles” promises to be very cool

You will be pleasantly surprised.

There are several reasons. The scale of events became larger, the heroes had new enemies known to us from the animated series, there were more jokes, April #Megan O'Neal was stripped even more, and her female counterpart was the world-famous model Alessandra Ambrosio.

We are also looking forward to the appearance of Casey Jones, the independent assistant of the turtles, and a demonstration of the super features of the turtle van. And, of course, signature slowmo and crazy destruction from the film’s producer Michael Bay.

You finally made up your mind and bought yourself a charming turtle, while listening to my recommendations and preparing properly. And they even transported her to her place of residence as needed.

Look at her, smile and understand that now she needs to be called something! But as? I immediately remember the phrase of Captain Vrungel from the cartoon: “Whatever you call a ship, that’s how it will sail.”

Today we will figure out what to call a turtle. Let's talk separately about how to name a girl turtle and how to name a boy turtle. For starters, let's talk about what I named my red-eared slider.

I'll give you a whole list of names and even a short recommendation. Again a whole bunch of useful knowledge from me.

When you don’t want to think long about the turtle’s name, you can call it any human name, as many do. There live in the world turtle girls named Bertha and Karen, Lina and Tina, Tonya and Sonya, Frosya and Marusya, and boys Mark and Max. Yasha and Shurik and many others.

With the help of a name, you can elevate your pet to the level of its famous relative. If you don't know what to name a baby turtle, name her after the world's oldest turtle, Advaita, who is believed to have lived for over two hundred years. No less famous name Timothy, the former mascot of British warships, or Guinness World Records entry Tui Malila.

If we remember the male turtles, at one time the name of Kiki, who weighed more than two hundred kilograms and lived 146 years, became famous throughout the world. You can name the boy's turtle the same as the name of the most famous bachelor of the tortoiseshell family, namely Lonesome George.

What else can you call turtles?

If you want an aura of mystery and mystery to reign around the name of your ward, remember the names of the ancient goddesses of Greece and Rome. Who can compare in beauty with the Roman Venus and the Greek Aphrodite, or in strength with Hercules and Hercules? Or maybe you want luck or victory to live in your home, then call the turtle Nika or Fortuna. Don't know what to name your boy's aquatic turtle? Great option the names of the gods will be Neptune, Poseidon, Nereus.

Since ancient times, many peoples, especially the East, have extolled this amphibious creature. In Iran, they believe that our planet was created by a snake and a turtle. The Australian Aborigines are convinced that she hatched it, and they call her Bedal. If you like this name, you can borrow it from the Australians, as well as from the Malays, Chinese and Indian peoples. The Malayan water turtle, the creator of the world, was called Mansi. On the back of the Indian Kashyapa there is a sacred mountain, and the Chinese Ao holds as many as three mountains on which the Gods live.

Turtles are often named after movie or animated movie characters: Nemo, Odysseus, Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo. A land turtle can be called, as some owners do, by the names of objects, colors and even products: Donut, Bagel, Cupcake, Buttercup, Jasmine, Omelette, Tequila, Tartlet, Bun.

If your pet’s movements are majestic and graceful, then you need to name her accordingly. In this case, royal ones are suitable male names Richard, Gustav, Waldemar and women Abigail, Gertrude, Marianne, Josephine, Margot, Ophelia. Many people give their turtle the name of their favorite poet, writer or simply idol: Tom, Darwin, Jack, Billy. Woody, Voltaire, Harry, Marlene, Agatha, Julia, Tina, Charlie.

For us, the turtle has been and remains a symbol of good luck, support, fertility, longevity and an emblem of slowness. Let us remember the well-known motto “Hurry slowly!” Cosimo de' Medici accompanying a turtle, which has a sail on its back, inflated by the wind. Although turtles are not so slow in water. They are quite capable of reaching speeds of up to 35 km/h, with the exception of large specimens of these creatures. So why not give it the name Frigate or Tank, for its impenetrable armor?

Now let's talk a little more specifically and choose a name based on gender.

How to name a boy turtle

Although, there are still some recommendations. First of all, after bringing the turtle into the house, watch it (in this case, him) for a while. It is possible that some of your pet's characteristic habits will tell you what to name him.

For example, a fairly fast-moving boy can be called a Sprinter, a Champion, or, somewhat jokingly, a Wind; For a gracefully moving boy, the name Dancer, Twist or Waltz is quite suitable. Since both land turtles and waterfowl are kept at home, the name can be chosen based on this point: Admiral, Sailor, Boatswain, Nelson, Nemo, Barguzin, Karakum.

What else can you call a boy's turtle? Names after loved ones are common literary characters and movie characters, poets and composers, actors and directors, cartoon characters, fairy tales, Greek mythology. Here are some examples of names for boy turtles: Jack (from Jack Sparrow), Tom (from Tom Sawyer), Brahms, Beethoven, Darwin, Orpheus, of course, (especially if there are children in the house) and without names, many beloved cartoon ninja turtles - Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael or Leonardo.

But these are all names foreign origin. How to call a boy’s turtle in Russian, is it possible to choose some original name? Yes, as much as you like! – Buttercup, Ponytail, Cupcake, Captain, Pirate. Some give their armored pets human names - Pashka, Vanyusha, Tolya, Misha, Nil, Kuzya.

Remember, no matter what name you choose for your pet, it should evoke only positive associations.

How to name a girl turtle

There are many options for names - it all depends on your preferences and imagination.

Very often, turtles are given noble, “royal” names - Bella, Ophelia, Ariel, Margot, Michelle. They are more suitable for large animals with graceful habits. This can also be said about the names of ancient goddesses or queens: Cleopatra, Penelope, Venus, Juno, Aphrodite.

People often name turtles after their favorite characters (actors, writers, and other celebrities). In this case, the turtle girl may get a name such as Agnia, Zhanna, Faina, Angela, Lady Gaga, Isadora, etc.

If you are considering only Russian options for a name for a tortoise girl, then you can stop at the following: Kira, Shura, Raya, Polina, Tonya, Masha, Sasha, etc. “Try on” one of these names for your favorite, and you will understand that sometimes not we should “reinvent the wheel”! And finally, do not forget about universal names suitable for animals of both sexes: Pepe, Lou, Pashka and many other similar nicknames.

If you can’t decide on a name, just take a break and watch the animal for a couple of days. Perhaps then a nickname will come to mind that is suitable for your pet, based on the characteristics of its character and behavior, for example, Pirate, Pig, Mermaid, Glutton or Chatterbox.

What the owners won’t come up with trying to name the turtle girl as original as possible! You can also choose as a name even a non-existent nickname that you come up with yourself.

What to name a red-eared turtle

First of all, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the vast majority of humanity perceives turtles as completely amoebic, amorphous, stupid and deaf creatures. I hasten to reassure you: this is far from true. Red-eared turtles are quite mobile, able to move both in water and on land, hear perfectly and even respond to their name.

They do not react to certain combinations, such as cats to hissing consonants, or dogs to growling ones, so choosing a nickname will not be difficult. It is enough just to observe the behavior of your pet in the aquaterrarium.

In general, red-eared turtles have quite cool character, they are born hunters. You can call the turtle Pirate (Pirate), Jack Sparrow, Hunter, Barmaley (Barmaley) and other gangster nicknames. Can be named based on striking features: Pig, Pig, Snail, Frog, Merman, Lazy, Mermaid, Coward, Glutton, Sturdy, Chatterbox, etc.

Names for red-eared turtles can be either simple or intricate. It is not necessary to watch your pet in the aquarium for a long time, make notes, or conduct a deep analysis of behavioral instincts to choose the right name.

If you don’t want to bother, then you can call the turtle absolutely any name, just by looking at it and catching the creative impulses of your soul. You look at, say, an animal, and understand: Vasya! Little turtle Vasya - what could be more beautiful?

Personally, at one time I named my red-eared friend Juan Ivanovich (there is such a bar in Sochi). At that time, this name seemed original to me, and it reminds me of some pleasant moments spent on vacation.

Kawabanga, friends!

Once upon a time, in a fabulous sewer, there lived four friends who knew kung fu, and they had a stern teacher with a long tail who taught them the truth of life. Yes, you guessed it - we're talking about about famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the cartoon of the same name. In this section you can play free games with these heroes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games are available on our website for free and twenty-four hours a day, with the exception of breaks for portal maintenance.

Who are the Ninja Turtles?

These are comic book and cartoon characters full name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Precisely because they are mutants, they bear little resemblance to cold-blooded reptiles. Rather, these are people in turtle costumes :) Due to their developed humanoid anatomy, the heroes can not only walk on two legs, but also jump, run and use all the deadly kung fu techniques that they were taught by another mutant - the giant rat Splinter, who became their teacher .

For the first time these unusual heroes appeared in 1984 in a comic strip drawn and published by two artists. Their names were Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Since no one believed in the success of the strange Ninja Turtles, Kevin and Peter had to publish at their own expense. Perhaps this is one of the rare cases of samizdat that paid off so brilliantly.

This is what the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic looked like. Yes, it was black and white. Real samizdat!

And just three years later, in 1987, a test cartoon was released on TV screens - a series of five episodes under the same name. Soon fans got used to shortening the long phrase to a short abbreviation TMNT. In Russian this abbreviation and its translated equivalent ( PMCHN?) didn’t catch on, so we just say “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.

In total, three animated series about turtles were released - in 1987, 2003 and 2012. In addition, the following were filmed:
- 2 large cartoons;
- 3 feature films with live actors;
- one full-fledged television series with live actors;
- six different comic series.

What should be noted is that in all these works the adventures of the Ninja Turtles are different. The plots practically do not intersect.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are very popular games, but most of the flash games with them were not released by official developers. Since officially all rights to the turtles now belong to Nickelodeon, then all rights to official releases belong to it. But some fans have released free flash games, which we present to you in this section. New adventures, new stories and even new enemies - that’s what awaits you here!

What is the name of the Ninja Turtles?

Cartoon characters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games very similar to each other. They are all green, live in the sewers, love pizza and wear shells. But they have unique features that allow them to be distinguished in any form, in any form, be it a toy, a 3D model or a live actor in makeup. To make it easier for you to remember, we made a special picture that you can copy and paste into your blog:

Names, colors and weapons of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

To the question, what is the correct name of the ninja turtles (based on the color of the bandages)? given by the author Elena the best answer is
Splinter is the sensei of the turtles, who practically replaced their father, a mutant rat. In some versions (comic book, first film adaptation), Splinter is a pet rat who learned the art of ninjutsu from his owner Hamato Yoshi. In others (cartoon) Splinter - former person Hamato Yoshi, under the influence of a mutagen, turned into a rat-like creature. Splinter's name is a parody of Stick, Daredevil's mentor.

The authors gave him the inclinations of a philosopher and a peculiar sense of humor, which he shows, commenting on what is happening in a paradoxical manner. Raphael wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai daggers. He was named after Rafael Santi.(red bandage)

Bebop and Rocksteady - characters from the first animated series - a rhinoceros and a mutant boar, Shredder's assistants, former punks. Role - “stupid henchmen of the main villain.” The names are the names of the musical genres, bebop and rocksteady, respectively.

I remember when I was about ten years old, the first video clubs appeared - places where they installed a simple (I now understand what it is) VCR and played videos. Including cartoons about ninja turtles. Since then I have remembered their names well - Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo.

The names of the Ninja Turtles are: Leonardo (their leader, armed with two swords, wears blue armbands), Donatello (a smart guy and a technician with a pole, purple armbands), Michelangelo (the most reckless of them, prefers nuntyaku and the orange color) and Raphael (owns sai and wears red). These names are given in honor of the great artists of the Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci (14521519), Michelangelo Buonarotti (14751564) and Raphael Santi (14831520) and the sculptor Donatelo di Niccolo di Betto Bardi (c. 13861466).

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic features 4 turtles! They are brothers and always support each other! They are named after great people! They fight for justice and law!

Leonardo This main character this comic who wears a blue headband and fights with two swords! They named him in honor of Leonardo da Vinci.

Raphael- he is among them as a philosopher who reasons more or less correctly! Raphael is depicted wearing a red bandage (mask). Fights with daggers-sai! They named him in honor of Rafael Santi.

Michelangelo he is the most cheerful and active among his team! Works out a lot and loves to eat pizza! He is wearing an orange headband (mask)! Fights with nunchucks (1 pair)! His name was given in honor of Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Donatello presented to everyone as a scientist, in one word - a genius! The most peaceful, as he always tries to resolve the situation peacefully! Wearing a purple headband (mask)! He fights with a pole-bo (stick). Named after Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi!

All children love the Ninja Turtles. All children learned to distinguish and know the name of turtles by color. This is due to the blindfolds that are tied over their eyes. There are only four turtles, but they are very similar to each other and can only be distinguished by their bandages.

Michelangelo - orange headband;

Donatello - purple bandage;

Leonardo - blue bandage;

Raphael is the one with the red armband. Everything turns out to be easy and simple in reality.



There are four Ninja Turtles and their names are:

Leonardo. He is very determined and brave. Named after Leonardo da Vinci. He wears a blue headband and wields two swords.



Raphael. At first the turtle had an aggressive character, but later it was changed and he became a philosopher. The headband is red and he uses a weapon: sai.



Michelangelo. He is cheerful, good-natured and carefree. Loves to eat pizza and loves extreme sports. His bandage orange color, weapons: nunchucks.



Donatello. He resolves conflicts peacefully. He is a scientist - a genius (interested in science and mechanics). Wears a purple headband and his weapon is the Bo Pole.

This cartoon is very popular among children and teenagers; comics and toys in the form of Ninja Turtles are also produced. Recently, a series of Lego Ninja Turtles constructors has also appeared.
