Who is your LEAST favorite turtle and why?
 

So, which turtle is your LEAST favorite, and why? My least favorite is Raphael because he is always angry, mean, and he bullys his brothers all the time, especially to Mikey in the new Nickelodeon show. So, who is YOUR least favorite?

Donatello. I've never been a fan of the super smart nerd characters for some reason. Kinda like Billly from MMPR. Never liked him.

Mike is my least favorite, but he's still great. I just relate to the qualities in his brothers more (leadership in leo, smarts in donnie and the hot-headedness of raph)

this thread kinda makes me sad because i don't think anyone outright dislikes one of the turtles assuming they like TMNT in the first place. Yet people could read the results that way, if one is overwhelmingly chosen over the others. Still, it is a valid question

I think Mike will get his chances to shine in the Nick show. It's just taking its time. I think it will turn out similar to past versions of the show... in that Mike is actually the most talented fighter of all the turtles, but his goofiness (ADHD maybe? ;p) gets in the way. It is a great message because a lot of kids can relate to that challenge. So, he is a good role model if and when he can ever overcome his shortcomings and concentrate. In the meantime... he's still really funny!

Agreed. If you dislike one of the Turtles I don't see how you can be a fan of TMNT. You can like one less than the others of course though.

For me though, it depends what universe we're talking about. The subtle changes in their personalities depending on version makes my opinion different.

I'm not asking which turtle you hate or dislike the most, (I like all of them, I just like some better than others) I am just asking which one is not your favorite, or which one you don't like as much as the others

I understand what you were asking and I understand your intentions, it still kinda makes me sad though because it is one thing to ask who is your favorite, but it is another to ask who is your LEAST favorite :p

i'm just glad they aren't real people that have to read this stuff! lol (well unless the voice actors come here)

Raphael, because his "I'm angry and therefore won't take orders because I think I have a better plan even though it's just direct assault" takes up entirely too much screen time across the franchise. When he's written as not that more than he is though, he's fine. Hopefully the new show has moved past it now with yesterday's episode now so they can do something else with him.

With the exception of Fred Wolf Raphael due to being clever and funny, I never liked Raphael that much, since he lacks the fun of Michelangelo, the brains and knowledge of Donatello, and the polished manners of Leonardo. He is basically a troublemaker and is most commonly the root of all problems. I just never got into him as much as the others and I feel that his sai is the weakest weapon out of the bunch. But I hate these kinds of questions since its like asking who is your least favorite child.

Great point on Raph Cyromancer and I agree, I think a big part of S01E03 was to try to say "okay, we all know raph is such a hot-head and it gets out of control so often throughout the franchise, let's just try to get that under control right off the bat" -- you could be right!

interesting trend so far. this is skewing a lot differently than I thought.

i really thought raph and leo would have the fewest votes.

but as it turns out, I think raph tends to be popular more with boys because he's got a lot of the same qualities as wolverine, who is also very popular with younger fans. I understand, because growing up those were two of my favorites! But now that I'm older I appreciate other qualities a lot more.

I sure hope so. I'm worried that he didn't learn anything though since he basically ignored the order to go home, then showed up and saved them by jumping into a battle. He at least learned to try and ignore insults, hopefully.

edit: I never liked Wolverine either, haha.

Depends entirely on the version.

4Kids? Definitely Michelangelo, although he's my favorite Turtle in the comics and Fred-Wolf toon. Raphael would be a close second, but honestly, I don't find any of the Turtles particularly likeable here.

Fred-Wolf? I dunno, probably Leonardo?

Mirage? I like 'em all, but probably Raph?

It changes. These aren't the same characters depending on what you're reading/watching.

My least favorite would have to be Donnie, though I'm really liking the 2k12 version so far.

I could never pick a least favorite Ninja Turtle. That'd be like picking a least favorite friend. Besides this poll has been done before.

probably Ralph, i liked the Ralph that was funny back in the 90's cartoons [late 80's whatever:tmad:] but the pissed off Ralph which is awesome is not as cool to me..

i dont dislike this ralph either i guess..i just dont LIKE him as much as i do with the others

Ralph?! Who's Ralph?!

Meh. Hooray for the 72nd version of this thread.

Hey, whatever gets people talking is fine with me! I'm sure this is the kind of question that does come up a lot over the years, but we just started a brand new series, and all those old questions are new again!

Huh, I'm surprised how little love Raphael is getting. He's ties as my favorite (with Don), and I've always been under the impression that he's had a pretty big fanbase. Maybe there's a difference between male and female fans though when it comes to who is or isn't popular. Personally, had to choose Leo as my least favorite. He's always been the sort of boring, good-two-shoes ho-hum whatever Turtle, but after having to stomach my way through the first half of Season 4 of the 2003 series and all his obnoxious emo-ness...ugh.

This is not a question I am able to answer. I don't have a least favorite Turtle. I don't even have a favorite Turtle anymore. I like them all.
