What makes you love TMNT?

[Silent FOx]

I want alot of answers lol. I love it because its a group of genuiely funny and cool guys/turtles just having fun. It's hillarious and has some good action scenes. And like Ghostbusters and X-men it just has a cool appeal. Easy to watch and the plot always progresses. Not random episodes like all the Nickoloden crap now. Except for Zim :D

[Kazari]

I never understood why I loved TMNT I guess they taught me a lot of morals and I think Don's too adorable beyond words.

[KROW]

I like them because of the fact that they're turtles who are ninjas. Which means that they are fast. Turtles who are fast. I like that.

[Weapon X]

Love the turtles because It was a fantastic unreal tale of turtles who bacame ninja's and the large cast of characters and of course the merchindise. I wish I could think of something like turtles, I wouldn't have to work a day in my life.

I love TMNT because they could be great people to know. Once you get past the 'mutant' thing, they're really civilized, emotional beings. They really care about each other like a family. There's human families that don't come near as close as they do to having such a deep relationship.

Plus, I'd like to spend time with them. You know, drinking coffee, playing video games, reading, etc. They're just a nice group of people! :D

I love TMNT because of each turtle's unique abilities, attitudes, style, and weapons. It allows many different people to enjoy TMNT because they can each choose their favorite turtle or just whichever one they can relate to the most. Or they can choose which one wears their favorite color. :P

For instance, with me, I've always considered myself the quiet leader and the one who does the right thing in certain situations, or at least tries to. I've always loved the color blue (the color of my eyes also, for you ladies out there). And also I love katana swords. His keen sense of leadership, his loyalty, his fighting skills, and just him as a whole... that's why he's my fave turtle.

Everyone can probably relate to one turtle more than the other three, and it's fun for people to choose which one they love the most after getting to know them better from watching the show, movies, reading the comics, etc... at least that's what has made TMNT fun for me.

Also, the villains are always very creatively thought up by the creators, and the story behind the turtles has always piqued my interest. The TMNT is just plain cool. That's all there is to it. :wink:

[Turtlesman 100]

I like it because it not like other cartoons like Teen Titan with all that weird stuff. Plus April and casey they don't wear the same thing every episode, will they try not to anyway. Plus I like it for all those other reason that you guys said about TMNT

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

I love the TMNT because:

1. Each turtles has his own personallaty.

2. They all have cool weapons.

3. They aren't humans. :)

4. They're mutants.

5. They're fast.

6. They are very skilled ninjas. They're better ninjas than other humans.

7. They have sense of humor.

8. They are not chickens. They never avoid a fight.

9. They love video games and comics, and sports, and technology.

10. They have the coolest intro music!

11. They are intelligent.

Do I need to say more? :)

I'll never understand why I love TMNT so much. Maybe it's their dynamic personalities, or I just think Raph's a flat out stud....I dunno. Maybe because they're so different than anything else out there? Nah..
hmmm
Being able to relate to one of them helps alot!
Put to the side that they are physically and mentally mutated chelonians who were trained in the whole ninja thing, each one is believable.
I think it's a combo of I like the martial arts/japan thing, then being humanoid turtles-they are cute, and I liked real turtles before being a fan. They are so well written they can just about be taken seriously....
The personalities and how they all interact is fun to see, the fights between Raph and Leo, Mike's goofiness.....I like how they all interact, it's believable. Brothers fight. Some other brothers are best friends.
eh whatever...i gotta go work now...

hey but the turtles ARE cute, aren't they?? 8)

[Ryona]

They sure are! I love those guys for so many different reasons. They are such a great bunch of people. I wish I had a family like the TMNT, Slinter, April and Casey. They're all very unique real people with real problems, hopes, and dreams.

I was never really into the whole super-hero thing. It just never tickled my fancy. The TMNT, however, is a totally different thing.

Everything about the TMNT is unique and refreshing.

TMNT is one of the very few American animations that I'll watch, and is the only American comic (besides Usagi Yojimbo) that I'll actually read.

Riiight. You are a true man. :P

[Orochi Chimera]

They are a part of my childhood and I never outgrew them.

[ChibiJaime]

I d'no, really... I mean... when I was little, Turtles was one of my favorite shows ever. I loved Don, too... I related to him so much. He was the awkward one who didn't really fit in with the others, and I felt like that a lot growing up.

That and I thought that Splinter would make a TOTALLY awesome father.

But seriously, I mean... it's one of those things that I guess you just don't grow out of. I grew up with the boys, and now that they've come back new and improved, it's like seeing an old friend again.

...If that makes any sense. o_O

[Ryona]

Oh, I totally agree, ChibiJaime. :)

[Doppleganger]

I love the TMNT because of many reasons. The fact they are ninjas gets us to see the way they use their skills to survive and fight the Shreddar. The fact that they are mutants.

They talk about really fantastical stuff but some of it could be true in theory especially when they talk about mutating DNA. It's one of the first mediums that introduced me and sparked an interest in me for science.

Plus their's the storyline. Sure the old was good and funny in it's time. This newer one is grim and gritty. The turtles aren't perfect and there's consequences to their actions. Which gives it a touch of realism.

[Utrom Shredder]

I love the Turtles because they kick so much ass, both literally and figuratively!!

And, of course, I REALLY love the new series because of...

SHREDDER!!!!!!

(He also kicks ass!)

[Leatherhead1984]

hey but the turtles ARE cute, aren't they?? 8)as toddlers oh yeah.. definitly cuties, but as teens no. they are just kick butt!

[twopinacoladas]

I guess because it was so new and a great idea that appealed to me as a kid. First it was seeing my best friend with a leonardo action figure and I felt so jelous that he had this cool toy when we were playing... actually I was stuck with the ghostbusters and Echo 1 lol Leo driving it was cool when I was like 4. But then I learned about the show as it was coming on the air, I had to wait for my aunt to go to the US to get the turtles and they were my most prized possessions Leo and Raph ahh I remember it like it was yesterday lol. Then my mom got me Mike and Don when she went for a trip (we still didnt have them here in Canada yet)

The show was on and made it so much more addicting with the awesome into and theme songe, plus I liked the story and the action. What better villian then The Shredder and James Avery doing the voice was awesome. It was really the story and then they seemed to be role models lol in later years.

Now reading Mirage I have a new found respect for them and like them even more then ever, being able to read and respect the true TMNT story and new show is awesome. It was a great idea maybe it was supposed to be a spoof of the other mutation type comics/xmen whatever. I like the TMNT better and they made a great story and some really neat characters.

Plus the co-creater is still doing the story and working on the book after all these years. Its awesome that 20 years later those of us to young to appreciate the comics that came out then can read the old issues and see how they are progressing through their lives and how the story will play out. I think its great what Mr. Laird is doing with TMNT vol 4 and Tales I hope he will keep doing it for a while cause its great to see.

humanoid turtles
pizza
mutagen
theme song

the last 3 listed are the reasons why im not into anything 'new skool' tmnt related[/list]

[Urbanski]

I love that no matter who you are, you can relate to at least one of the characters, even if its one of the villians. There are so many dynamic personalities. Plus the story has so many twists and creative plots without going TOO overboard. I know its a story of turtles, who not only mutate into human form, but also become ninjas, befriend alien races, stand up to the evil of the world, and LOVE pizza, BUT it's actually still believable.
