Really Gives Him That Massive Nerd Vibe. - Tumblr Posts

I think something really fun that people don’t talk about enough with rise Donnie is that his catchphrases relate to the situation.

“METAMORPHOSIS, that took an unexpected turn!”

Metamorphosis is a sudden and drastic change in an insect’s biology, specifically for butterflies and moths. This also relates to the fact that the cosplayers are freaky bugs.

“Ah, Newton’s apple, how could I forget the floor hatch?!”

Newton discovered gravity when an apple dropped on his head. This was a sudden, instant realization (at least in portrayal.) this lines up with Donnie suddenly remembering the floor hatch exists.

Fibonacci is often said when Donnie throws his tech bō. Because it moves in a spinning, curved motion, it’s related to the Fibonacci sequence, or the golden ratio.

I can’t find a spesific use of SohCahToa in the episodes available on Netflix in my region, but I do recall he usually jumps to land a hit when this is used. Sohcahtoa is a special geometry/trigonometry calculation used to determine the lengths of certain sides of a triangle (opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse) based on the available sides and angles given. (Fun fact, SohCahToa actually tells you which is which. Sine (opposite/hypotenuse) Cos (adjacent/hypotenuse) Tan (opposite adjacent))

Feel free to add more in the comments or reblogs, I’m currently studying for a geometry final and can’t binge watch rottmnt at the moment to find more.
