Your favorite version of every character?
What is your favorite version of every character in TMNT? You can mention any of them (anywhere from the turtles to a 1-episode character), and from any version (Image, '07 movie, ect.)
Lately I've been watching the original toon (just finished watching Ep 70- Shredder's Mom) so everything is based off of memory. I only really remember the original toon, and the 2k3 turtles enough to judge. Leonardo- 2k3 Raphael- '87 Donatello- It's rather tied Michelangelo- '87 April- 2k3 Splinter- '87 (but I don't remember anything of the 2k3 Splinter except for his appearance) Shredder- 2k3, although I adore Shredder in the '87 cartoon Leatherhead- 2k3 |
Michelangelo-1987 cartoon
Raphael-1987 cartoon Leonardo- 2003 cartoon Donatello-2003 cartoon Splinter-it has never really mattered to me,but if he is Hamato Yoshi there will be direct conflict. April-1987 cartoon Shredder-1987 cartoon Rat King-1987 cartoon Baxter Stockman-2003 cartoon Leatherhead-1987 cartoon Usagi-2003 cartoon Casey Jones- movies Slash-Archie Comics I can go ahead and say Karai-2003 cartoon. Its the way I got to know the cartoon and enjoyed her waviering loyalities even if there was no transition between season 3 and 4. Krang 1987 cartoon. his character needs to be a more intregal part of the Ninja Turtles because he is such a big character. |
4kids had the best version of Bishop.

Character
Leonardo - Mirage Michelangelo - 1990 film Donatello - Mirage Raphael - IDW Splinter - 2007 and 2k3 (They were basically the same character, anyway) Shredder - 2k3 (though that's not to say I want that plot twist to come back) Ch'rell did pure evil right. Karai - Tournament Fighters (2k3 seriously, if only for the rival to/admiration for Leonardo dynamic) Baxter - 2k3 April - 2k3 Casey - Mirage Rat King - Mirage Leatherhead - 2k3 Voice/Actor Portrayal Leonardo - Michael Sinterniklaas Michelangelo - Robbie Rist, though I also thought Wayne Grayson and Mikey Kelley perfectly suited the style first established by Townsend Coleman. It's difficult to determine a best Mikey. Donatello - Barry Gordon and Sam Riegel tie on this one. Raphael - Josh Pais Splinter - Kevin Clash Shredder - Scottie Ray Baxter - Scott Williams April - Paige Turco Casey - Elias Koteas Leatherhead - (The first 2k3 voice, before Gary Lewis) |

and for me the best version of every turtle and splinter is 2007. :rolling::rolling::rolling: i don't buy the skinny casey in that movie tho, i d say the best version of casey is 2k3. shredder i prefer 2k3 too... there r too many characters this is not gonna work! u gotta limit down the scope. |
Leo - Mirage or 2k3. 2k3 actually feels like a leader, and one they are usually OK with following.
Mike - Mirage, despite having no "ending". Don - 2k3 maybe? He's pretty good most of the time really. I do like the habit of stealing enemy vehicles in 2k3 for TMNT use however. Raph - Mirage or the OT, as at least in the OT he's sarcastic instead of constantly mad. April - 2k3 or the 2007 film. I think the 2007 version is somewhat underrated. Casey - Mirage just because he gets to actually DO stuff there sometimes, have his own plots, etc. Splinter - Probably 2k3, the family bond with him is very strong and works well there. Leatherhead - 2k3 or Mirage, although both fell back to "he's gone crazy and fighting us again" too much. Shredder - Probably the first movie. I liked Ch'rell but he did get a bit too "evil for evil's sake". Karai - 2k3 or 2007 film, same as April. 2k3 ver has the better writing and more to do though. Krang - The anime/manga. As much as the OT voice is legendary, his anime self is just hilarious. Hopefully IDW will become a new best at some point though. Baxter - 2k3, unless IDW can do it better yet. |
Irma -1987 cartoon
Irma -1987 cartoon (she's actually in some Archie too)

Leonardo - 2k3
Michelangelo - 2k3 Donatello - Mirage comics Raphael - 2007 movie Splinter - IDW comics Shredder - 1st Movie Karai - 2k3 Baxter - 2k3 April - 2k3 (physically speaking, OT April remains unparalleled) :trazz: Casey - 1st Movie Rat King - 2k3 Leatherhead - 2k3 In terms of character design, it's a toss between 2k3 and Mirage comics. Edit: Nick Raph has the potential to unseat 2007 Raph in my books, especially in the long run. Nick Leo will have a mountain to climb to dethrone 2k3 Leo put it's left to be seen. |
For the turtles, I like the '87 ones the best except Donatello, my favorite version of him is 2k3.
For Leatherhead, I like the '87 version the best. I can't decide for Shredder, it's sorta a tie between '87 and 2k3. |
Leonardo: 4kids
Raphael: TMNT 2007 Michelangelo: Mirage Donatello: OT April: OT Casey: 1st movie/OT/Mirage Shredder: OT based Games (same as OT, except he's badass) Splinter: 4kids Karai: 4kids Rat King: Mirage Baxter Stockman: OT Leatherhead: 4kids I think I covered the basic caracters. :P |
Leo - mirage
Raph - mirage Mikey - 1990 film Connie - mirage Splinter - 1990 film (though I also love the mirage version. Idw's vg too) Casey - mirage (also like the 90's movie) April - the mid/later mirage stuff & 1990 movie tie. E & L's early version didn't have any personality. Shredded - mirage Rat king - mirage city at war series |
2003 Shredder

I'm very partial to the Archie comics adaptation of the TMNT and their allies, though I prefer the cartoon version of the villians.

Raphael - The live-action movies, for actual character development. However, the 87 series' switch from berserker to snarker shouldn't be ignored, either. Donatello: Tie between 87 and 03 (if asked, the latter ekes out as winner). Special nod to the second movie. Of all the Turtles, he's a tough call with me. Michelangelo: 87, although, the Image version is gaining rapidly. Casey Jones: First movie, non-stop. However, IDW is really improving with the teen version concept. April O'Neil: 87 for concept, but Archie for better execution. Splinter: 87, but it's a tough call between him, 03 and the first movie. Shredder: A tie with Mirage and 87 (the former for tactics and backstory, the latter for personality). Special nod to the second film version, even with the "BABIES!" line. Leatherhead: Tie between Archie and 03. Baxter Stockman: 03, if only because he actually had or was about to have a happier fate. Bebop/Rocksteady: 87 Season 1 (and key moments with their comic relief characters in Season 4), Archie version and waiting to see what IDW will do with them. Slash: Archie version, but I am slowly becoming fond of the 87 version. Since Karai's Tournament Fighters mode was chosen, I'll go with 'Turtles In Time' for using both the action figure design and the 87's color scheme. Karai: City At War, Mirage. Triceratons: 03. Krang: 87's first 2 seasons and the Red Sky seasons. Waiting to see what IDW will do with him, but liking what I see, so far. Fugitoid: 03. Hun: Pre-Ninja Tribunal and then Turtles Forever. Rat King: Pre-00 Mirage and 87 Season 3 (especially his first episode and "Return of the Fly"). Tang Shen: IDW. Tokka/Rahzar: The second movie for Tokka, the 87 series for Rahzar. More, including actor/voice portrayals, as I think of them. |

Sure I've answered one of these before, but what the hey...
Leonardo- Film universe (The first especially.) Mikey- Comic universe (Vol. 3 specifically, but also parts of Mirage where the same character traits apply.) Raphael- Original toon, I suppose. The hot-head shtick can really get on my nerves. Donatello- Always have a hard time with this. I lean towards the OT for his general personality, but I'm not huge on the whole 'Donatello does machines' thing. I like how he's more reserved and a bit spiritual in Mirage... I guess it's a tie, between the OT & Mirage. Casey Jones- First film. The definition of cool. Since he's more or less the Mirage Casey, I guess that applies too. Splinter- No doubt Mirage. All those spiritual quests are badass, and he plays a bigger part here than in most versions. Shredder- Honestly I think I've gotta give the first film another vote for this guy. So badass. April O'neil- I don't dislike April but I've never been a big fan. She does nothing for me in any universe, really. Though I am not huge on the character design, I do like the motherly role she had in 2k3, so I guess my choice is with the 4kids series. The Foot Clan- None more menacing than in the comics. Leatherhead- Archie/Mighty Mutanimals. I do like the Jess Harley stuff. Baxter Stockman- Gotta go with the OT. Dat fly. Rat King- As much as I LOVE his background in the original comics, and how menacing he is, I gotta pick the OT. Mostly because he was there a lot, and I really like how they handled his character. The sewer royalty thing, being territorial, controlling the rads, and God damn do I love Townies voice for him, haha. |
