i'm just saying after a few good blocks the bo will break its simple physics

but if you give him a aluminum bo staff he would be mean as hell

Not really. If this were the case, the bo would not be one of a ninja's most effective weapons.

The bo (and all it's cousins) is an extremely underestimated weapon in both is offensive and defensive capabilities. A weapon doesn't need to be metal or sharp to be effective or even lethal. And as far as the bo breaking...that really depends on the type of wood (don't underestimate the strength of oak and bamboo) and the techniques used. A master with a bo will know how to defend him/herself against a katana without risk. Also, the steel used to make katanas is not very strong, and a bo staff can break a katana if it hits the side of the blade at a 90 degree angle.

Both weapons have their advantages. Both have their disadvantages. Its the knowledge and skill of the user that decides the outcome. Not the weapon its self.
 
I get what you saying and I do know how hard wood can be I'm Irish and own a shillelagh made of fire tempered white oak that has been re-greened but and I know it's tough as nails but I also understand it's still just wood
 
yeah yeah keep the troll wagon moving

and it doesn't change the fact that a wooden bow isnt the strongest defense against a bladed weapon
And how the master got hold of the wood and the tools to sharpen the wood
And blah blah more
 
are you talking about wood vs steel or staff vs sword? if your talking about the weapons them selfs then i understand, but im lost if youre talking about the materials.

ohhh sorry I was talking staff v sword

I apologize for the confusion I am watching how he blocks with the staff seeing if I may be wrong about the wood thing

You know what? Screw Bos made out of wood and metal. Just give Donnie some laundry.

I would hate to get into a towel fight with that guy
 
It's the freaking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Donnie having a bo-staff and never breaking it – it is not very outlandish compared to other stuff. :D
 
I think it's meant to be an inside joke to Kid Cudi, and personally, he could be up for a role I could see him doing the soundtrack. But as a Turtle? Nothing against him, and I wouldn't mind a black actor playing one of the Turtles (it would be interesting; just don't make it stereotypical) but it's kinda random to have Cudi, who has some TV work, playing one of the Turtles.

Jason Biggs is gonna be Leonardo and Sean Astin is Raphael
 
I know, just seeing if people would believe me lol

I first heard it during an interview of Jason Biggs on AOTS. He just dropped that he would be playing Leonardo in Ninja Turtles, no more info or clarification. I was shocked and immediately Googled lol
