What's your favorite Ninja Turtle pairing?
 

I'm new here and don't know if this question has been asked or not. Didn't see an active thread for it.


But what Ninja Turtles' pairing is your favorite?

Mine is Mikey and Leo from the episode where they fended off two thugs in the grocery store.

I like Donnie and Mike's discussions a bit more.

Raph and Leo always heads for trouble.

Raph and Leo is definitely a classic pairing....I don't know if I could ever really choose a pair I love the most, but right now I'm feeling.....

Mike and Raph. They have a lot of potential to be fun together.

I like it when Raph and Leo are paired without some sort of rivalry bullsh*t going on.

Don and Mike. They were hilarious together in the first movie.

Haha cool thread. I always think about this.

Leo & Donny all the way. Level heads will prevail!

I am so tired of there teen angst fights with each other. Both of them need to stop the teenage girl fits and just shut it up, I don't mind them beating the crud out of each other but I can't stand the wining. The writers have ventured enough into it, it can stop.

Dang teen angst.

Future Don and Raph in the Archie series. Genius.

I myself have to go with the Mike and Raph pairing. I loved when they teamed up to fight against Don and Leo in capture the flag. Raph was taking the game seriously and Mikey was just laying back until his pizza got ruined.

You got that right best pairing ever.

I like it when Leo and Donnie pair up together. They are both iNtuitors. They have brains- not just brawns.

Totally agree with you!

I'd probably say Raph and Mike or Don and Mike... although the Future Don and Future Raph in Archie is a strong combo as well

Michelangelo: PorkRind?
Donatello: PorkRind!

Those two were funny together in the first one--I definitely agree with you.

Michelangelo: Fight?
Donatello: Fight!
Michelangelo: Kitchen?
Donatello: Kitchen!
Michelangelo: Yeah!

And their jokes are funny in the movie too.

Yo, I'm real happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Mike and Don are the best-paired Turtles of all time!

OF ALL TIME!

i'd say Mike and Ralph.

Mikey and Raph: trying to build a time portal in FF = :lol:

Leo and Raph: good if you like drama.

Leo and Mikey: rare, but I think they work together well as a team as Mikey just does what he's told.

Don and Raph: also rare, their teamwork is hindered by their different approaches.

Leo and Don: if you want the job done.

Don and Mikey: my favourite, probably, to read/watch . A great team-up. Compliment each other in a bizarre way.

LMAO! Yes. Doesnt matter how many times I watch it, I crack up every time! Love it.

HAHAHAHA.Ha.

Don and Mikey for sure. i jst have to say the first movie proved it.

I personally like the Don and Mike combo from the original movie. Don is my favorite turtle, and Mike is probably my least (because of the way he's portrayed in virtually every imagining- especially when I was a kid), but the way they were portrayed in that movie was really well done. I'd like to think Raph and Don would be a unique pairing too.

Thank You!!!! Mike and Don hands down and as I said b4 the first movie proves it.

If I ever were to write a movie adaption, i'd make damn sure we see a Raph/Don and Leo/Mikey pairing just cause we never get to see it.

And because of that... I'd probably say Leo/Don right now. They always work very well together.

I consider the first movie the greatest depiction of the turtles...and I know that pisses off some people who love the comic but not necessarily the FIRST movie (the first is the only legit movie in my opinion). *Most of us became fans because of the movie or the cartoon or both, there weren't many 5-8 year olds back in 1990 reading the original comics. (I do remember collecting and reading the Archie ones). Even to this date I think most fans of the comic would agree that the first movie is the best adaptation of their comic personas.

I love that first movie and I hold it in such high regards. If it wasn't for that movie, I don't think i'd be near as big a fan. That movie was eery to me as a child, and even as children we could still get that sense that this movie wasn't like any other movie for kids, meaning that dark undertone. We couldn't identify it at the time, but we knew it was odd. It might of made us feel uncomfortable but not scared like A Nightmare On Elm Street did. I think the turtles made me realize I didn't have to turn my head from something that wasn't like the rest, turn my head from something that made me feel different than watching a Disney animation.

They royally ****ed it when they decided to lighten-it-up for the sequel. They made it more like the cartoon, I know, and as a child I didn't see the differences as much, but now looking back it was a horrible thing to do I think and such a different movie than the first. Sure it made them some bank, which was the point, but it holds nothing to the original. I've heard MANY people say the second movie is their favorite, and I can't believe it. I think if you prefer the second (or dare I even mention that turd of a 3rd) over the first, me and you are completely different people. I know the second movie was responsible for getting A LOT of children on the turtles bandwagon back in the day, but most weren't the children that would become the fans we are today.

bite your tongue! Leo+Raph angst and bickering is the life blood of the franchise!

I personally loved seeing Leo and Mike interact. When I was a kid, and to some degree now even, I always thought Leo treated Mikey the best when compared to Don and Raph, especially in the old series.

If the others were teasing him, it was rare for me to see Leo get really involved. In those episodes where Mikey took off somewhere or got lost or something, Leo was either the first to express concern that it was something to be concerned about or the last to give up looking. That's one thing I didn't like about the cartoons, they tended to stick with the stereotypical pairing most of the time: Leo-Raph, Don-Mikey.

As for them actually working as a team, I think they work pretty well together. Leo is a leader, Mikey's a follower. I think Mikey CAN lead if he has to but I think he hates doing it. So in this sense, Leo calling the shots works well.

Ulisa

Either Leo and Raph or Raph and Mikey.

Is this 'ninja turtle pairing' as in just the boys? or 'Ninja turtle pairing' in their universe... I think that the characters are so well defined and to some degree even cliche' However, if speaking of turtles only, Raph and Leo do present a nice contrast that works well, although somewhat played out. Raph and Casey is always fun to watch... but all time favorite has got to be Casey and April in the first movie. Classic banter between the two of them...

I'd like to see Splinter and Mikey throw some bones together though.

They'z playin footsies lls.

I actually read a pretty good fanfic in which those two team up with the Mirage/Image guys for an epic battle.

this is the exact reason that I like Leonardo and Michelangelo pairing so much, I've thought they complemented each other so well, and it's true what you have said here about Leo in the OT being much more considerate toward Michelangelo and I agree. I had noticed that too. I noticed that toward the end of the series mostly in season seven and red sky Leo and Mike where paired up more. Even though in the OT Michelangelo and Leonardo seemed very different in personality I believe they both shared the same ideals and had similar values. In one episode in Red Sky the turtles split up over a difference of opinion regarding a mutant sanctuary and Leonardo and Michelangelo took the same side against it; which I thought said alot.

I also enjoy the Leo Mikey pairing in the 2k3 series, Those two where just so awsome together. I so enjoyed their interaction. They got along surprisingly well together. I always felt that Leo loosened up more around Mikey and Mikey seemed to a better over-all individual with one on one time with Leo. My favorite Leo and Mikey episodes are Nobody and Grudge Match.
