Favorite and least Favorite TMNT characters ever.
 
This will not only serve as good discussion, but also a voting poll for one of my TMNT comics where I'll show the top 5 fave TMNT and top 5 least fave TMNT characters. I mean anything, the old and new cartoon, the Mirage comics, the movies, whatever. And it doesn't have to be the turtles themselves. Could be anybody.

My fave is Michealangelo, he's basically what TMNT stood for in the old show (he's the one with the most surfer lingo, the biggest pizza addiction and the 'Cowabunga!' that the tmnt were most known for), and he's funny in the movies as well, and it's nice to see him finally kick ass in the new show.

Least fave is Lord Dregg. Just boring and lame, and he looked like one of those 'lame one-shot villian' characters, but instead he was THE villian and replaced Shredder.

Cool.

My absolute favorite is Casey Jones. In the comics and the new toon he's the vigilante with the smart-mouth. In the old toon he was a wild card with a very entertaining voice. And in the movies he was a stand-out character and a good comic relief, despite Mikey and Donnie.

I, too, hated Lord Dregg. Only because he seemed like filler for the old cartoon. I kept waiting for his death or final defeat but it just dragged on and on. I kept thinking, "Where's Shredder? Get him back!"

My Favorite is Slash. Hopefully if he does make a return in the New Cartoon, He isnt the dumbed down version...heh...

Least favorite...and let et me be the first here, but i know not last... :evilgrin: ..to say Venus. For obvious reasons stated 97849674838 times.

My favorite is Casey Jones without a doubt. Ever since I was a toddler I loved Jason movies (yeah, I was watching them at that age) so I naturally clung to the guy in the hockey mask on one of my favorite cartoons. It was even better that he was a raging lunatic that was just as likely to kick the crap out of one of the turtles as he would a bad guy. I liked his movie version too, though he didn't get a chance to but any heads.

To me the new toon is the perfect balance. He went apesh*t on those Purple Dragons in his premiere episode. Pretty hardcore for a kid's show. But he also calmed down a bit and has a more reasonable side.

My least favorite, of the main characters (not counting any lame-o oneshot characters from the old toon or anything) is without a doubt Michelangelo. I've never liked any form of him except for maybe what I've seen in the Mirage comics. In the old toon he was hellbent on eating pizza 24/7. That's all he EVER talked about. It got old real fast. In the movies it was just one really awful joke after another. Aside from "I love being a turtle" he didn't have any good one-liners. And the new toon is his worst incarnation yet. A whiney little brat. He's totally obnoxious. What bugs me most is that he Won't. Stop. TALKING. It's like the writers can't go a single scene without giving Mike 60 lines of dialogue. And rarely is any of it funny.

I have other favorites and least favorites, but those are my number ones.

fav SLASH
I pray to god to let him to be in the new show


and hated old show stockmen for two reasons

(1)Change his skin color to white

(2) he was a FLY

Leonardo_the_sword_master 07-28-2004 11:32 PM

ummmmm........... probley uuuuuu out of all the epasodes of the old and new, there are non that i don't like.

Krangfan 07-28-2004 11:58 PM

My favorite is (and always will be) Michaelangelo!! :D He's great in every version I've seen him in and always gets me laughing.

My least favorite is, well, I don't really have a least favorite actually

Jephael 07-29-2004 11:43 AM

My all time favorite character from the original cartoon was Rocksteady! Not only was he funny, but he was also more loyal to Shredder and much more able to control his emotions than his pal Bebop!

My least favorite character was Howie, Irma's boyfriend for 2 of the whole episodes. The guy would sing offkey for minutes until April and/or one of the turtles would beg him to shut up. I was so glad he didn't become a regular. By the end of the ep, Raphael was just about ready to beat the crap outta this dork.

Midnight_Tanuki 07-29-2004 11:47 AM

My favorite would have to be Slash (Insane Alien Criminal version) or maybe Dreadmon

Least fave: Ehhh I didn't much care for old toon Leatherhead

Shreddette 07-29-2004 12:43 PM

Old Toon:

Favourite: Shredder (duh)
Alternative favourite: Raph or Don
Least favourite- Leatherhead is pretty annoying.. I Guaran-tee.... :dead:

First Movie:

Favourite: Splinter
Alternative Favourite: Don

Least favourite: Shredder (don't ask... I think I need to have a re-evaluation of my views here!)

Karai 07-29-2004 01:07 PM

My favorite character is Splinter, although Rocksteady is high up there too. I didn't like Mona Lisa (that salamander/lizard chick) or Venus from Next Mutation. Actually, I just wasn't particularly fond of Next Mutation ^^;

JaffleMan 07-29-2004 07:51 PM

I have plenty of favourites from the old toon, Scumbug, Rat King and Slash being some of the few but my least favourites are definately those two blonde kids from the "great boldini" episode. Can't remember names.

that would be Zack the fifth turtle and some friend of his. I didn't like Zack either, so lemme add him to my 'least favorite' list.

There's not really any characters i don't like.

Can't them a single fav as there's so many i liked. My favourite turrtle in the cartoon was always Raphael. He's also my fav turtle in the movie. Another favourite from the movie is Tatsu and Shredder.

Leatherhead was one of my fav minor villains, i like his straight talking. I actually liked him better than Rat King. Krang and Shredder are my fav villains of all time. Splinter is another fav.

I wasn't too keen on Don Turtelli but i've grown to like him. I liked Baxter better as a fly than he was a human. He was more wimpy as a human.

Mr Ogg may be my least fav, along with the neutrinos.

Coola Yagami 07-30-2004 07:47 AM

add another one for Mr. Ogg. He was so annoying.. thank God he was a one-shot villian....

Other faves of mine were classic Leatherhead and Slash. I mostly liked Archie Slash causehe was protrayed more as the hack-n-slash psycho the toy portrayed him as, but he was ok in his first cartoon episode appearance. i also liked April, but mostly due to her looks since sometimes she got annoying. At time it felt like she was somehow forced into the episode cause they just HAD to have her in nearly every single episode... I like how the new toon sometimes just involves the TMNT themselves and don't always have to have April and/or Casey in em. Another fave of mine was Mondo Gecko, I felt the Archie comic protrayed more as the crazy heavy metal skateboarder he was meant to be than the cartoon. I also liked Armaggon from the Archie comics as well as their take on April, kicking ass under Splinter's teachings. I also like Oyuki, always thought she was cute, and wished she also learned to fight like April did, but oh well. At least she became a regular. Ninjara was cool too.


I also didn't like the cartoon's versions on Wingnut and Metalhead...

MrPliggins 07-30-2004 05:12 PM

favorite: Triceratons

least favorite: Zach, the fifth Turtle....and his brother too.

Tokka72 07-31-2004 04:47 AM

My Fav is Tokka but Raph and shredder are up there too.

My least fav is Lord Dregg he didn't tickle my fancy as the main baddie insted of shredder.

Spitfire 07-31-2004 12:37 PM

Favoritre Character: Leatherhead in all and any forms! No ones cooler or better. Plus in the old toon his voice owned! And he fought Ratking and teamed up with him to! Wish he was in the old show more! He better be in the new show more :P
Most hated Character: Veren annoyed the hell out of me. He was a whinny little baby and he wou;d never shut up. Plus he looked like a reatrd

SkaterMike 08-02-2004 11:17 AM

Other than the turtles, my favourites would have to be any one of the Mutanimals, I always loved those comics as a kid. I also liked Groundchuck and Dirtbag from the old show. As for least favourites, it'd have to be Venus, and then Walker from the third movie.

Zelda 08-02-2004 03:19 PM

Old show fav: Raph... he was tough but funny in the best sarcastic way possible (:

Old show fav villian: KRANG! What's not to love about a disembodied brain? >_> Plus he was more serious than Shredder and had more of a developed character.

Old show least fav: One-shot villians...x_x bleh! Wasn't ever a fan of Bebop and Rocksteady either, they just did too many stupid things. Vernon was irritating and stupid...

Didn't like much of anything in Next Mutation.
Movies.....Raph and Mikey tie but I think Mikey is up there a bit. Fav villian is Shredder ;)
Least fav... the fat guy in III, not because of him, but because of all the jokes made ABOUT him...okay...so he's fat...big deal...get over it ^_~

New show fav: MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Obviously >_> ) Everything he says and does cracks me up XD Though sometimes it seems like he gets made out to be TOO wimpy and TOO easily distracted just to make a joke when in other episodes we've seen him get serious when he needs to be.

New show least fav: GARBAGEMAN...-_-;;;
