The caption of this doesn’t capture just how beautiful it is that he asks himself what his favorite ninja turtle is and then immediately answers it because he’s put a lot of thought into both the question and the answer.

Raphael is the only Ninja Turtle to question the status quo. Leonardo carries on the old ways because they made him the leader and he's determined to maintain them, Donatello is the industrious turtle creating horrifying technologies out of personal fascination and will one day create Turtle Uber without ever pausing to wonder if he should, Michaelangelo is the satyr, the hedonist, relishing in the pleasures society foists upon him for his pro-authority heroics while never thinking further than his own forever-growling belly.

Raphael is the only turtle to question Master Splinter. Raphael is the only turtle to say No.

Raphael isn't just radical, he's a radical.

i picked up the new ninja turtles newish arcade style beat em up and i can say with some certainty that the best turtle isn't a turtle at all: april o'neil. has a job, doesn't stink like poo poo, and whips rear end. though the ninja turtles are easily the most successful terrapins so maybe i shouldn't judge their accomplishments of a human.

which turtle would be the best at mma? i think they'd all do well despite carrying a lot of extra shell weight but my money is on raph

i have it on good authority that pettis the elder once "ran up the wall like a ninja" but he is probably banned from calling himself that because of a morality clause or something from uncle shenanigans.

steve jennum called himself a practitioner of ninjitsu at ufc 3. he was (is?) also a cop, so he's definitely proficient at doing heinous crimes and not getting caught, so ill just say "sure, he's a ninja."

What is everyone's favorite Yves Edwards moment?

While I really like all the times he had snacks at weigh ins, including offering his opponents treats during the face off, his "jump knee while actively defending a single leg" KO of Edson Berto is the raddest poo poo

And I think my head is burning,

His knockout of Jeremy Stephens. For one, it's an impossibly elegant KO. He ducks under Stephen's insane haymaker and just pops him right in the jaw. It's beautiful. For a second, in context it's even more impressive. Stephens was never really top tier, but he had a habit of making really good fighters fight very awkwardly because they didn't want to end up on the wrong end of his limited but very powerful striking. Stephens was coming off two guys (Cerrone and Pettis) cautiously outpointing him. They clearly beat him, but didn't look great doing so. Then Edwards comes along, knocks him out in the first two minutes and makes it look loving easy. amazing KO.

Go back and watch all his fights. There's one dull fight in the whole bunch, which is an insane ratio.

Also, he fought RDA at altitude at full speed in Mexico city for five rounds and neither was tired at the end. It might be the single most impressive athletic feet in UFC history.
