Your favorite version of Mikey
 

Did you seriously put "coming out of their shells" and not ****ing Mirage.... For shame.

Classic, 90's Movies and current 2k3 Mikey. The 2007 movie Mikey doesn't have enough screen time so I'm against that :(

Must be the other category:lol:

For me the Classic Toon Mikey is the best, but the 2K3 Mikey and the 90s movies Mikey are not bad either.

**** that :lol:

Any ways, I voted for Robbie Rist's Mike. Funny, chill, good fighter, perfect voice for Mikey.

I also love OT Michelangelo, so he'd be my second vote.

I love any version of Mike (except FF Mike), but I'd have to chose Current show Mike and 90's Movie Mike... :D

Besides, Mirage Mikey and Image Mikey (are they the same Mikey nowadays?), I like Mikey from the first 5 episodes of the OT and Mikey from the first movie the best.

Um no it's not Mirage is a universe all its own.
The old toon and archie comics are more closely linked than mirage and the old toon will ever be.

It's all good, bud. I voted other. As in mirage mikey!

Ack! How could you not include Mirage?! If anything should have been bunched up with Old Toon, it should have been Archie. Oh well, no real harm done. I voted Other for Mirage.

I voted Classic toon Mike...and I meant CLASSIC TOON Mike since I saw there was some confusion above ;)

I voted Other, because I like Mirage & Image Mikey the best.

Other: Mirage.

Though I'd put the 1990 movie as second, I think. Regardless of what happened to Donatello, Mike was great in that movie. He was lighthearted and silly without being stupid or ineffective in battle.

OT Mikey wasn't bad either. He was a pizza addict, but he didn't take crap either.

Classic toon Michaelangelo. Especially during the Red Sky arc, because during this part in the series (or in most incarnations of the turtles) Michaelangelo is a capable and serious turtle who isn't just there making up the mumbers but holds an important position in the team.

In spite of having a rediculous excuse for a weapon :lol:

Am I the only one that thinks that 2k3 Mikey is similar to Movie Mikey (in ALL the movies)? I dunno why I voted, but 2k3. Other than his overly imature caracterization in FF, I've thouroughly loved Mikey in everything he was in. Maybe I shoulda voted classic cartoon, since that's how I first loved the character... He always was my favorite Turtle, with Raph as a close second.

I put 2k7 movie. He is not obnoxious in the most recent movie at all. In fact, he is very helpful to the family. He shows his youthfulness without being a pain in Splinter's neck.

1987 Mikey would be next. At the very beginning, he was a good contender to be my favorite- but Leo became the winner soon.

I like Image comics Mikey to be honest. He has the most character in that one and wasn't just a goof ball.

Could you explain that one to me?

He meant Mirage is considered other. typo

btw, all I can see in your sig is a red X

I know a guy who got some teeth knocked out by a grappling hook.

Michelangelo is just forced to use it in rediculous ways.

And I know a guy who lost teeth from a flashlight. Doesn't make it better than nunchucks

I'd rather have a flashlight than nunchaku, but we're not talking about practicality here.

Either 2007 movie or 2003 series (even though I've only seen the first half of season one). In both cases he's goofy, but not quite as dumb as he was in the original cartoon.

I think the Mirage comics Michelangelo tends to be an afterthought a lot of the time, but I read that Tales story about Klunk recently and I thought that was a good story for the character.

Mine would be:

90's movie trilogy
Mirage comics
Archie comics
2007 movie

In these verisons, Mikey's lighthearted and occasionally goofs off, but he doesn't come across as an idiot (Well...okay, so 2007 Mikey is a little bit of an airhead in a couple of scenes, but he still is serious and kicks butt when the time comes, and can easily handle his own)...nor is he ever ineffective in battle.

I can't comment on Old Toon Mike, since I don't really remember what he was like (aside from the pizza obsession thing).

I have yet to get my hands on the Image comics (working on it).

And the 2K3 version of the character has grown to irritate and disappoint me over the seasons. He's cowardly, whiney, unfocused when he needs to be, very immature, constantly needs to be saved in battle, and never really seems to learn or grow from his experiences while the rest of his family does. If anything, he seems to de-mature in the 2k3 toon and come across as more and more foolish. I'm being harsh, but I honestly am not a fan of how his character was handled in this show...

Well, about the NT Michaelangelo bwing smarter than the OT Michaelangelo, I can't say I agree with that, he was more aggressive/serious in the OT and maybe a slight bit better at problem solving when a situation laid on him.
NT Michaelangelo does need saving sometimes, but so do the others, and every one of them, including Michaelangelo, has had at least one occassion where they've saved all their brothers at once, and all are equal contributors.

yeah, i need to change it.

TMNT I,II,III Mikey are my first! Second would be Mirage (other).

Ooh, forgot about that one. I really liked him there too - he had a sense of humor, but didn't ram it down everyone's throat. And I thought it was particularly touching when

I agree with you on all points mentioned I love Mikey in the new toon but sometimes I can't help but feel aggravated as a viewer when I'm watching him on the show. Eighther he is fooling around whe he shouldn't be, or he is running his mouth during a time that should be for observation, or he is taking flack from his brothers or people around him and he doesn't stand up for him self. What is kind of dissapointing about how Mikey is portrayed his is the way he is perseeved on the show by the other characters, almost all characters that come across him thinks he is annoying or show some signs of exesperation with him. It's like no one sees him as anything but a nusance that has to be put up except for a few people, and even they act like they are some what just humouring him than anything else. I guess what bugs me is that Mikey doesn't really have any equal relationships with any one on the show; he is eighther annoying pest of a brother, hyper active aquantence, or star struck admirier.

Even with people that like him it seems like they are rolling their eyes at him. I've watched this show a friend. She pointed out that Mikey is in desperate need of a friend who isn't his three brothers. And I agree. I think Mikey needs to meet some who isn't a disiplined warrior, or science guy or badass, I don't think Mikey really indentifies with these types ( and i don't hink these types "get" him), and unfortunately thats all the turtles ever seem to come across. I think Mikey would benefit with some one to indentify with on a equal basis who has the same interests and personality as him.

And that is where Mondo Gecko should enter the show...

It is funny that you say this Masked Ninja, that Michaelangelo doesn't take crap. I have heard other people say that they like OT Mike because he gets pissed off as well. But is he really some one who stands up for him self? On a website called TMNT Dissected there is an article about OT Michaleangelo and the article describes Michaelangelo in the old toon as a doormat. In fact some of the articles theorise that Michaelangelo's role on the team is the "whipping boy" that every uses to make them selves feel superior, here is the article:

http://www.geocities.com/tmntdissected/mike.htm

Does any one agree with this article?

Personaly, even though some of the aspects in the article rings true (like Micaelangelo being looked down on, and him not being as dumb as people make out to be) I don't quite agree that old toon Michaelangelo is a doormat. I think between the two Michaelangelo's OT Mike is more likey to get angry and stand up to his brothers (or at least let them know they are ticking him off) than NT Mike is. Watching the two cartoon version of Michaelangelo I think 2k3 Mike is sort of more of a doormat than OT Mike. I don't know on a whole I feel that NT Mike tends to get victimised and looked down on by his brothers than OT Mike, but that could be in part because their personalites are so diffrent.

What was Mikey like in the 80's cartoon? I've only seen the cartoon that comes on now so I don't know what the turtles where like in that version. Is he really diffrent? Does he annoy everyone and get smacked around like he does in the current series?

OT mike is actually much more competant. Although the theme slaps the "party dude" lable on him, there is far much more to him in the 87 series than there is in the 03 series and TMNT movie four. He isn't much goofier in the OT than the rest of his brothers.

i voted for "Classic Cartoon", even though im not known with all the tmnt universes! and i souposed "Classic Cartoon" ment the 1987 series by fred wolf, sens that was a cartoon and mirage is "comics"!

Yep agree here, loved Robbie Rist's Mikey as well. He pulled off the funny, charming, friendly and playfull Mikey without him being dumbed down.
