Why were they named like that?
I have read an article entitled, "How Kevin Eastman Invented the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" bu Gendy Alimurung.
Originally the teenage ninja turtles were formally named after Japanese names and it didnt work. therefore he named it after famous renaissance painters
such as Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo since the names are unfamiliar, some children may have had the urge to ask about them with someone older. if a child asked an adult familiar with the artist, the child was able to inquire to take something more from a show that seems intellectually lacking from a quick viewing even thought the real plot of the story was promoting violence and war.
Allmurung stated that, "One ninja turtle became four, each named after a renaissance master, each with a different weapon. It was, like, 'Here's the next big thing, ninja turtles."
I agree on what he said because the teenage mutant ninja turtles made a big hit on the children's viewing. It was approved by the parents for viewing because of the they thought that they were watching intellectual TV shows because of the names of the characters that are famous painters and artist.
Ninja turtles- Renaissance Artist Comparison
I read an article of Rob Lammle entitiled "The Complete History of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"
They are named after one silly reason and that is they sound quirky enough to fit the concept of crime fighting turtles that does not quite an artist themselves. For me it is actually funny naming them so far on what they do. A trivia is that the teenage mutant ninja turtles favorite food is pizza, because they're names were from Italian Artists.
Lammle stated that "As Eastman and Laird began fleshing out the Turtles to create a comic book, they had to give the Turtles names. At first they tried Japanese names, but it just wasn't working. So they tried great Renaissance artists instead – Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. Laird told me, “It felt just quirky enough to fit the concept.”
He stated was a quick history on why they were made on that concept and how far they made it from the original names which are Japanese names that don't quite caught the audiences.
