Which is your favorite version of TMNT?
 

I'm new here and don't know how to do polls and such. I'm sure this has been covered somewhere. Can someone direct me to the thread? or set up a poll?

Just curious what the percentages are.

It was last posted in over a month ago. This is fine.:)

I prefer the old toons. Mainly that's because I've seen only a few episodes of the new version and haven't seen the movies.:lol:

I would say the comics. The original Volume 1 Mirage run was especially brilliant.

In terms of viewing, 2k3 is exceptional in places. I have watched it repeatedly. it is one of those shows with which you wish you could erase it from your memory so you could watch it again without knowing what happens. Sure, parts of Fast Forward and BttS are of lower quality, and the first 4 seasons are definitely its peak imo, but the show overall is excellent.

The 1987 series has lost a bit of gloss with time but is still a decent watch. The fact 2k3 has far better art and animation (advantages of being more recent) and is based on the comic source material clinches it for me.

The Next Mutation is worth a watch but not really anything special.

I would recommend you get the DVDs of the first season of 2k3 and watch the first movie.

You would really enjoy them i think.

mirage. definitely.

They all knock my socks off.

ditto for sure

Mirage volume one.

I agree 100%

I wondered if it was more Mirage or Fred Wolfe or WB or movie or even Imagi? I think we can agree they all are good for different reasons... but which is your absolute favorite?

Mine is Vol 1 issue 1... it was never meant to be an ongoing... then the books all sold out, and the rest is history.

Pretty impossible for me to choose... I can't honestly say.

Like just about everyone else I grew up with the OT and was hooked. But I did find a liking to the NT since every Turtle was more true to the original Mirage comics than the OT.

That is a good point, but the OT had more potential if it was a dark series, but it was a childrens which was awesome. Truthfully I think the first movie is the best, at least my favorite to watch, its either that or The Original Comics.

Turtles is one of those things where I find something to enjoy in every version. But the Mirage comic is my hands-down favorite. "City at War" is still the pinnacle of all Turtles fiction by a large degree.

Thanks. I'll definately check them out!

I feel like an ass because I have not read that yet and my understaning is it is as you say, hands down, the best storyline... That's the one that introduces Karai, right? I think I heard that on the commentary for "TMNT"

Anyway, I need to get to the comic shop and pick up trades... Haven't been in a couple years...

Probably the movie 1 versions, followed by the OT and then the Mirage comics, but it's a very close race.

1987 cartoon
 

1987 cartoon. But new threads with this discussion appear often here.

mirage turtles no doubt

That'd be the one.

Unfortunately there's never been a trade collection, but most of the individual issues are easy to come by, with the exception of Parts 1 and 2, which seem to be a bit more rare.
