The names of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are familiar to everyone’s inner child: Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo.

I am not here to comment on their good or bad, but from the artistic point of view, to explore whether a good form of art needs to reflect the community and a wide range of civilizations
Michelangelo never forgave Bramante and Raphael for what they did. While he was away, Bramante opened up the Sistine Chapel and let his friend Raphael have a peek at the frescoes in the ceiling.
