Who is your LEAST favorite TMNT character and why?

[Donatello19]

Who is your LEAST favorite TMNT character and why? The character could be from any TMNT show, movie, comic, or video game.

[CyberCubed]

Those hillbillies from Donatello's Badd Time.

[Bossk]

Venus. I'm about half-way through the Next Mutation and I just well... Don't like her.

[Icebot]

Mine is professor Mindbender from Leonardo the Rennasaince Turtle. I hated how he abused the law and had people arrested for small offenses.

[zkarlette]

Venus,Vernon... I need to think of more.

[TurtleTitan97]

Some of my least favorite TMNT characters are Vernon, Triple Threat, Zach, and Keno.

[Genesis]

Keno is a good choice. Venus and the Neutrinos should go without saying. I try to ignore everything involving the Silver Sentry, myself. I have no problem with him being a character in Michelangelo's favourite comics, however.

I also hated Carter and Mona Lisa.

[Jester]

Turtle Titan.

[rufus]

That obnoxious singer from the FW series.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Venus. I can't think of anyone else right now.

[Jephael]

Ninjara... 'nuff said!

[TMNT_Guy]

Those wild cats known as the Neutrinos. They're a real dragsville, man.

[Slade]

Keno. I wish the turtles would have beat the crap put of him.

[Mr.Turtle]

this is a sensitive question dude...i wanna say karai but ppl r gonna attack me again... because she's stupid but ppl r gonna attack me again...

[Jester]

Those wild cats known as the Neutrinos. They're a real dragsville, man.
Oh, yeah...THEM....blech.

[Slade]

this is a sensitive question dude...i wanna say karai but ppl r gonna attack me again... because she's stupid but ppl r gonna attack me again...

Don't feel bad, I don't really care for Bebop and Rocksteady either and I'll prolly get crap for that.

[zkarlette]

Don't feel bad, I don't really care for Bebop and Rocksteady either and I'll prolly get crap for that.

What!?:x how dare you!...:P

I mean really what was that all about? At least they are not as bad as the Magilla gorilla from NM.

[Slade]

What!?:x how dare you!...:P

I mean really what was that all about? At least they are not as bad as the Magilla gorilla from NM.

:lol: Tell you the truth, I didn't mind them in the first season but I remember them as just idiots. It's not that I hate them, just don't really care about them.

[pannoni1]

Carter, since he is just so annoying which is why I hate Season 9 the most. He never quite gets the feeling that he's a true friend of the Turtles, and feels very bland to the rest of the team. He makes the Mad Scientists look good since at least many are funny and entertaining.

[Genesis]

Ninjara... 'nuff said!

Yeah, I never got what the big deal about her was, but I can't rightfully comment, since I have barely read any of the Archie adventures, and I tend to avoid Archie interpretations of beloved characters as a whole (and yes, I know that a lot of Mirage staffers worked on the Archie series).

[Jester]

Hey, Ninjara aside, Archie's TMNT Adventures was pretty awesome.

[Logan]

Probably the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang's leader. I really hate that episode. If not that, then probably Hun because he's such a generic character.

[Genesis]

Hey, Ninjara aside, Archie's TMNT Adventures was pretty awesome.

I'm not saying I won't give it a chance. I plan on getting the first collected book, soon. "Heroes in a Half Shell," if I'm not mistaken.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Again it comes down to what series are we talking about?

If we are talking OT then it would have to be Vernon. He was just a whiner and never contributed anything to any episode. I mean He was suppoused to be set up as a rival toApril but it never came off that way. I could not stand that character, and I still can't.

If we are talking Mirage comic I'd have to go with Savanti Romero. I can appreciate they were trying to give the TMNT some other villains to fight but his stories never seemed a threat. Lord Simultaneous would show up and save the day. It never felt like any real threat to the guys past the first encounter.

If we are talking 2k3 I'd have to go with Chaplin. To me he was a "crap we still need Baxter working for the Foot" character. He never flet like his own character to me.

And if we are talking IDW I'd have to go with Chet right now. There seems way to much importance placed on a side character. It annoys me because I don't think we will ever see anything come of that character.

[Donnie]

Least favorite? Bebop & Rocksteady. So you'd imagine my chagrin when they appeared in IDW.

[CyberCubed]

Least favorite? Bebop & Rocksteady. So you'd imagine my chagrin when they appeared in IDW.

What exactly don't you like about them? They're pretty much the best "animal mutants" they came up with after Slash and Armaggon.

[Mr.Turtle]

Don't feel bad, I don't really care for Bebop and Rocksteady either and I'll prolly get crap for that.

why would i feel bad? abt what?

[Cowabunga Carl]

He was being sympathetic with you because he doesn't like well liked characters. Showing you that you aren't alone. You scare me sometimes Mr. Turtle.

[Jester]

Only sometimes?

[Mr.Turtle]

of course i'm not the only one who thinks karai, bebop& rocksteady r stupid...

[Slade]

why would i feel bad? abt what?

It's like you forgot everything you said before this..

[Mr.Turtle]

^ that's a common misunderstanding... i said i didn't feel bad abt anything...it's like no one believe me...:s

[zkarlette]

Turtle Titan.

And let's not forget the guy that was the battle nexus champion, I mean.. what a douche!

[Jester]

And let's not forget the guy that was the battle nexus champion, I mean.. what a douche!
I know, right?

[Cowabunga Carl]

And let's not forget the guy that was the battle nexus champion, I mean.. what a douche!

Yeah totally :tlol:

[Walkabout]

Chalk up another strike against the Nuetrinos, and or Zach the fifth turtle :ohwell:

[Jester]

Dr. Polydorius' Ray, because he's always confused with/assumed to be Ray Filet.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Carter. The silliest among those silly mutations of season 9-10.

[cryan]

I'm with you in regards to Carter.I also didn't like Jet McCabe as well.


denfan 1982;966797]Carter. The silliest among those silly mutations of season 9-10.[/QUOTE]

[ToTheNines]

Gyoji from the 4kids show.

[Drose18]

Doomquest and Dragon Lord. :tmad:

[MikeandRaph87]

The characters I never want to ever see again:
Venus is annoying and unneccessary not to mention goes against the concept of four brother mutant turtles.

Shadow is nothnig more than a reminder for Casey Jones not to be a hothead in the black adn white comics where she should stay.

Zack was supposed to be the fan haniging out and proving himself to his favorite hereos yet came across as any annoying idiot who can only annoy the audience.

Carter is the unneccesary ally forced into a show. He added nothing and all attempts to make him cool and relied upon only did the opposite for me.

Dregg/Dragon Lord/King Komdo are all the same character to me, a lizard-like leader of an army that is not Shredder and more or less a successor lead villain. I don't want to put up with bland characterization of someone liard-like screaming I am Shredder's sucessor as your main advesary!" when we could have fun and interesting plots with Shredder.

Does anyone get the feeling the new TMNT II is gonna have dregg? I hope not...

[Cowabunga Carl]

Donnie DBERG I don't understand what you mean by that. Like are you talking about the fan comic Ross Campbell is doing or are you referring to something else?

[zkarlette]

I'll give the neutrinos another strike , specially Kala.:P

[cartoonistaaron]

Carter. Venus. Dregg. Any other attempts to shoehorn in characters that are supposed to be "big deal" characters that come out of nowhere.

[MikeandRaph87]

You sound like me! All of the characters I hate are listed in my above post and share that common idea except for Zack!

[Zany Orange Dude]

I'm going to go with Zach.

[Lethal Lullaby]

I think I'm gonna have to add those super annoying neutrino kids, and Zach as well to characters I dislike.

[Metalwolf]

Hello, this is my first post! :)


I would also say that that I don't like the Neutrinos, and I didn't care for the idea of Mona Lisa.

[Slade]

Hello, this is my first post! :)

Now that everyone has mentioned it, I don't like the Neutrinos either.

Oh and welcome.

[MikeandRaph87]

Dregg wasn't a lizard.

Your correct he was not,but did have the same concept as Dragon Lord who was the reptilian version of him and Komodo King was the comic adaption of him without saying it.

There is a lot of hate thrown inthe trio of Neutrinos way. I never cared for them either way. What can be done with them to make them likeable or would it be best to have them buired in the past like some characters?

[Genesis]

Forever.

I suppose they could redesign them to be less stupid, but it'd have to be such a drastic re-imagining, that it'd hardly matter to make the connection.

[shezcrafti]

I'm on board the Venus and Neutrinos hate wagon.

[ssjup81]

Im trying my hardest to think of a character that I just didn't find likeable or enjoyable, and am having a tough time. For those named in this thread, either I never saw them (2k3 characters), liked them (Venus for example), or didn't think one way or the other about them (Neutrinos).There is a lot of hate thrown inthe trio of Neutrinos way. I never cared for them either way. What can be done with them to make them likeable or would it be best to have them buired in the past like some characters?I guess it would help if it was known what made them so unlikeable. I never had a prob with the Neutrinos.

[JH24]

A few of my least favorite characters would be:

Venus (She always felt out of place to me. She was an addition that was never even needed IMO)

Lord Dregg (Good voice, but just not too much interesting as a villain. It didn't help he replaced Krang and Shredder)

The Neutrino's (I tried to like them but generally I just can't accept their characters. Something about them just annoys me)

Carter (He was meant to be a cool guy but his character generally just irritated me. One of the reasons I'm not really a fan of Red Sky personally)

Draco/Renet/Savanti (Nothing really against them, but there's nothing that I like about them either. The Ultimate Ninja annoyed me at first as well, but later on at least he got some more depth to his character as he showed regret for his actions)

Most of the villains in Fast forward. The only ones I found likeable were Zixx/the Dark Turtles and Bishop (Who was already a well established character and not even a villain anymore)

Some of the superheroes. I like heroes as Nobody, but for example Silver Sentry just feels out of place for me.


A year or two ago I would have included Zach as well, but I've warmed up to him. He might be annoying at times, but he still has a kind of charm.

[Redeemer]

-My least favorite character is zach the fifth turtle.

-The OT turtle in TMNT Forever......Don't get me wrong still enjoyed TMNT Forever, but...they raped my childhood.....

-A few of the OT characters made me cringe such as that retard Mr.Ogg

[Mr.Turtle]

i can never go back n watch OT again it just looks so stupid to me now....

[MikeandRaph87]

-The OT turtle in TMNT Forever......Don't get me wrong still enjoyed TMNT Forever, but...they raped my childhood.....

Talk about misrepresenting and bias portrayal! I agree with you there! I just hope those who becase major turtleheads like us but after the '87 cartoon do not think that is the way they actually were/are.

When trying to figure out to fit characters into the IDW verse I thought of the concept of General Blanque being the dictator of the Neutrinos and the three of them being apart of a resistance against General Blanque. Street smart and tech savy as well as blaster tooting 18 year olds.

[Zog the Equalizer]

I'll hop on board the neutrino hate train. Also the Walker from the third movie. He, like almost everything else in that move, was just bland.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

Nobody mentioned Mister Ogg yet? :lol:

Actually I hated Irma's piano-playing boyfriend even more.

As for the Mirage series, I thought Savanti Romero was a pretty lame villain too. He starts to cause trouble and Lord Simultaneous (and later Renet) just shows up and gets rid of him.

[TMNT_Guy]

I remembered a similar topic was created years ago and that I made a post in it.
Zack the 5th Turtle- Do I really need to explain this one?

Caitlyn- "Hey, let's take Zack give him a ponytail and put him in a pink shirt! Surely this will attract more girls to this series about four Teenage Mutant MALE Ninja Turtles."

Justice Force- I remember how excited I was when I got Season 1 part 1 of 2of the 2003 turtles on DVD. It was EPIC. It was like growing up with the Adam West Batman series, mind you that was EPIC for different reasons, and seeing Batman the Animated series for the first time. Yeah, I was hooked after the first episode and glued by The Shredder Strikes, Part 2.

So I'm all hyper, loving this new darker, more REALISTIC show when I get to episode 12. Let's see how it goes:

*Mikey wants to save some people trapped in a burning building but the others say no because it would expose them to the public.*

MIKEY: "But who will save them?"
RALPH: "HE will!"

TMNT_GUY: The firefighters?

*Shot of a DC comics superhero rip-off putting out the fire*

TMNT_GUY: .....oh, come on!

Quite literally how it went down. Every time those Justice Force characters appear is like looking at a cartoon pink poodle in the Last Supper. Even the original Mirage comic gave me that feeling,

Now of course in the original series I was able to suspend my disbelief for anything, but that’s because show always kept reminding the viewer just how absurd the idea of ninja turtles was.

King: Your costumes won.
Donatello: Yeah, I guess our "costumes" are pretty good.
King: No, no, no, not for greatness, for ridiculousness

[Icebot]

I actually liked Mr. Ogg, and Howie.

[zkarlette]

I didn't really like Lord simultaneous that much.

[Genesis]

He was clearly used as a sort of Wizard of Oz joke. I don't really feel one way or the other about him.
I did, however, crack up at his first line, "Gimme that, before you hurt yourself!"
I'm actually very fond of Renet, but while I think Savanti has potential as a great villain, I must admit that he's not all that menacing when he is used.

Mister Ogg is thankfully a one episode only-character.

[Dirty Blond]

Donatello (as cyborg).

[Metalwolf]

I would also add another character that I forgot, one that I dislike even worse then Mona Lisa or the Neutrinos, and that would be Mr. Ogg. Randomly turning buildings into big icescreams and other objects for 'humor' was really unsettling and not funny, and him being powerful enough that he could theoretically be a major issue if he were upset, made me really not like him. :thumbsdo:

[Powder]

Pick a fan character from DA. Any you like. There's my vote.

[Drako-Cat]

Wow, I'm really offended by that comment

Anyways

Ultimate Ninja- Yeah yeah, your going to kill me for this, but, I never liked him, reason? well it's obvious, he kicked Drako in the face and told him to rot in a abyss, plus, he was bought back to life and Drako wasn't

And seeing him again in BTTS made me cringe and want to jump over 50 feet into an ocean

I also don't like him because he was a jerk at first, I kinda don't like his voice either..But that's just me..

[DarkLightDragon]

I wasn't really fond of the muscle-bond Abagail Finn from "The Monster Hunter."


She's just one of those characters the writers deliberately made to look hateable just to get her obsession with monsters across.

[Jephael]

Pick a fan character from DA. Any you like. There's my vote.

That's kind of a low blow, man.

Those are the Turtles. I think Powder was talking about the TMNT equivalent of Sonic fan characters, who are generally hated by everyone not involved in their creation.

[Mona_Lisa]

I Made a list as I read!!!! LOL!!!!

:tconfuse:Triple Threat, Carter, Venus, The Frogs, Dregg, Bug man, :tconfuse:
I HATED the 80's toon Casey Jones. he always bugged me... Even as a kid.

Loved Mona Lisa though..... Not really sure why, She was just cool! No worrys though, I will not be angry at anyone for disliking her!!!!:D

I don't know why, but something about them just bothers me.

I'm guessing it's because they don't really acknowledge the severity of their condition, in that once they get changed they rarely think, "Gee, maybe I ought to tell someone I'm OK before I choose to spend the rest of my life living in some sewer and hanging out with mutant turtles. At least they won't think I've been murdered or that my parents will forever wonder where their baby has gone." Or that mutation forever changes their life to a massive degree, and that all the stuff they take for granted in their 'previous life' will become much harder or impossible to do. They just think "Oh well, looks like I'm going to be a bit inconvenienced hiding from people, but at least I get these nifty new abilities!"

At least with Splinter, R&B and Baxter it was explored to a degree and helped develop them, but with everyone else it's like its an afterthought.

[Mr.Turtle]

if a human derived mutant has the same influence as bishop, he d get a lot of attention too. they r just not that big yet coz they never got in the rank "main".

Those characters mildly got on my nerves, too. They took away from the significance of what it would mean to be "born" a mutant (aka turtles) and know nothing else vs the perspective of someone who became a mutant but had the experience of both perspectives-belonging somewhere vs belonging nowhere (aka Splinter). That's not an afterthought, that's a wrecking ball to every life experience to be had.

[cryan]

I have always liked characters that are afflicted by something and turn it into a possitive.you van say that when someone combats a disease.Think about in the past the superheroes that were created by lab accidents.Also,Mona Lisa only was in one episode that is now 22 years old.

[CyberCubed]

Lord Dregg was a good villain. He just shouldn't have been a Shredder replacement. Taken on his own he was the same as any other alien conqueror in the series.

[BubblyShell22]

Most of the villains from Fast Forward were just awful. I think the only ones I liked were the Dark Turtles and Torbin Zixx. I'd also have to go with Mikey post Battle Nexus win.

Really? I thought the FF villains were the highlight of that season. Viral, Shoko'nobo, Darius were all fine.

Triple Threat was awful though.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Lord Dregg was a good villain. He just shouldn't have been a Shredder replacement. Taken on his own he was the same as any other alien conqueror in the series.

He just had two seasons, and they were both short. I can stand that.

[Logan]

Garbage Man. Horrible villain. Even the Turtles couldn't take him seriously. How did PL let that slip through?

[Moonlight1102]

Serling - An unlikeable, annoying robot butler who had no reason to appear in the BTTS season, unless 4Kids' decided to toss him in just because they figured that kids think "robots are cool".

Venus - Obvious reasons.

Zach - Annoying little kid, didn't much care for him.

Most of the Fast Forward villains - Sh'Okanabo was lame, Viral was evil for the sake of being evil, Jammerhead was super lame, Triple Threat was a complete waste of space, and Torbin Zixx was forgettable.

Constable Biggles - "Ello Ello Ello!" (Me: Shut up Shut up Shut up!)

Vernon - The TMNT Wiki sums him up perfectly: "An egotistical, self-righteous, mysoginistic coward".
