I'm not really a fan of the whole deal, but I enjoyed Keno & Cody. Vote went for Cody though 'cause I feel like only counting the cartoons.

Not a big fan of any of them..but I went with Cody because he was the most developed. Angel was ok, but she was only in what, 2-3 episodes?

Eh, I did find Carter the most decent of them all even though none were all that great.

Unfortunately, I can't vote. I don't know anything about Angel or Cody. Out of the remaining ones, though, I'd go with Keno and this is my bias coming through with this. As a kid, I just found him to be so darn cute!! :tlol:

"Yeeeahhhh...I'd keep practicing." - Keno! He was likable, relatable, and Reyes Jr. is an incredible martial artist.

The only one in the list I liked at all was Keno.

Keno was nothing more than a stand-in for Casey in the second movie.
Let's face it, Casey really should have had his role, especially when he and Raph got to infiltrate the Foot Clan in the second movie. In fact his role and Casey was almost interchangeable, the only thing you'd have to change was of course Casey already knowing the turtles as opposed to Keno.

I always liked Keno. I would love to see them bring him back.

I'm not really a fan of any of them, but I had to vote for Keno for 2 reasons, one was that he delivered pizza, so at least he can provide the Turtles with a pizza fix. The other reason is because he's got one of my favorite lines from the second movie:
Street Girl: "Dream on dweeb!"
Keno: "Yeah ok, but when I do it'll be of something a little thinner!"
What a jerk!
Most of those choices weren't even teens. I pick... the lesser of the evils... whoever that might be. :-?
J/K. Cody was less of a punk than the rest of the kids. Carter was a college grad, wasn't he?

J/K. Cody was less of a punk than the rest of the kids. Carter was a college grad, wasn't he? I wanted to say kid but Carter seemed older even though he was called a kid on the offical TMNT site. Zach was said to be almost fourteen and Carter was said to be a teen on wikipedia that was why I listed them as teens.

Carter said he was "going back to college" in one of the Season 10 eps.
Zach was said to be almost fourteen
Really? Where at? I thought big bro Walt was 14 in his appearances and Zach was more of a preteen.

Exactly what I was referring to, but I guess since 19 is still technically a teen, then... :ohwell:

My vote goes to Angel. Her story of meeting the turtles makes the most sense.

If you believe time-travel is possible, I'd say Cody's makes the most sense.

In "The Fifth Turtle", when Zach first meets the Turtles, he says "I'm almost 14 and my name is Zach."
Oh, cool. Thanks, little Pliggy. ^_^ *gives you some roast beef*

none of them. I always hated the teen/kid side kick ploy.
Keno was alright but I couldn't get past the fact he was the arrogant little boy king from Red Sonja that I wanted to punch. As far as kid side kicks go he is probably one of the least annoying.
Angel...I barely remember anything about her...
Zack, I hated as a kid but he's not too bad. I just don't like how he had to drag his brother and stupid girlfriend into everything. Mostly I disliked how he is supposed to be 13 and he looks like a eight year old.
Carter I didn't like him because he replaced April & screwed up the dynamics of the turtles. But as a character over-all he was pretty decent and I liked that they made him a respectable character with ambitions instead of some urban punk kid with no respect. However I never saw him as a side kick much less a "kid" side kick. He was more or less the same age as the turtles and acted as more of a co-equal with them than a side kick. I was glad to see him go back to college though.
Cody, meh...

I really liked Keno in movie two, so I voted for him. I did like Angel though and thought she was very interesting since we knew so little about her such as why she's with her grandma and why her brother isn't really around that much for her. I never really liked Zack or Cody. Carter I barely remember.
And I thought Zack had a sister named Kaitlyn or was she just a good friend? I can't remember too well.

I think Kaitlyn was just a friend of Zach's.He only had an older brother named Walt.
Sage was exaggerating, I'm sure. In "The Great Boldini", Turtelli said something to the effect of 'come out with the diamond, kid. I got your girlfriend' to which Zach said "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!". Since Zach & Kaitlyn are the names of writer Francis Moss's children, I'm guessing that might be why they made that reference.
Also, I don't recall seeing Walt in an ep outside of Season 3. Does anyone else?

Walt had a cameo in the episode with Wingnut and Screwloose.

Keno, because he's a Surf Ninja.

I was gonna ask if I'd get flack for picking Keno...but he's the winner ATM so I guess not. He wasn't really a side kick though, I'd say everything that's said about Carter being a near equal could also be attributed to Keno. The only difference is he's not as experienced as the guys. He's helpful in getting supplies for the anti-mutagen and in the (albeit failed) attempt to infiltrate the Foot Clan, and of course pizza.

I didn't mind Keno but I really wish Casey Jones was in movie 2 instead of him.
Let's face it, the part where Raph/Keno go to the Foot Clan undercover just "screamed" Casey.

Yeah, because none of the Foot would recognize Casey...come on.

Most of these Foot were new recruits.

Most of these Foot were new recruits.
That brings up another point...Casey would have been to old to be a new Foot recruit. And those doing the recruiting would recognize him. This may have been a change made to accommodate Keno, but it makes sense.

Carter was actually a pretty cool character, aside from his abrupt inclusion into the group. I just hate how he was constantly with the turtles every single episode. Not even Casey, April or Splinter was attached at the hip to the guys that much in any show/comic.
Keno, hands down.
He the skills, he had the wit, he delivered pizza, and he was a great supporter of the Turtles.
Not only that, he's the only one who had the BALLS to step up to Shredder.
And if that's not enough to prove my point... IT'S ERNIE REYES FRIGGIN' JR!!!!
If you can portray yourself as the fight double of one of the Turtles in the first movie, and then COME BACK with your own role in the sequel, that says a lot about your career.

Funny enough Zack and Cater are two of the three original cartoon characters that annoyed me the most and Angel was one of the few I disliked in the 2003 cartoon. Never really saw them as sidekicks but they were in the way of my enjoyment. No opinion on Cody though. Best sidekick and partner-in-crime of all time is Robin aka Dick Grayson!:P

In general I don't like the idea of the Turtles' having any sidekicks, but Keno is hard not to like.

Of them all Keno is the ONLY one I do like! Its hard to come up with proper humans to interact with the TMNT as this poll may suggest epecially helping them in fights but Keno is pretty cool. I doubt we would ever see him again but it would e welcome. Cheers to Ernie Reyes Jr. for doing an awesome job!

I agree 100% He's the only sidekick that can keep up with their Martial Arts.

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool his fans made a facebook page "KENO4TMNT," voicing their opinion of bringing him back for the new Michael Bay TMNT movie. Think they got a twitter as well Keno4TMNT (https://www.facebook.com/Keno4TMNT)
