Raphael in the movie looked half dead.

Though I do like several things the cartoon added. Like April protecting Leo from hun, and then Casey threatening Hun when he moves in to hit her. So badass. I can't recall what April was doing in the movie.

Question does the fact that the right turtle "Leo" getting attacked like how he was in the comics, make the fight scene better than the movie were they gave that scene to Raphael?
It does not matter the turtle that gets hurt as long as its a sense of drama because of it. It could have been Mike or Don if the situation called for it. In this situation it was better that it was Raph because it fit better. In the black and white comics it fit that it was Leo. Some version may come along and it is better suited that Mike or Don were beaten half to death by the foot clan.


April was doing the same as she did in the other two versions, holding/playing nurse for Leo to answer your question,Sage.

The only thing the comics had beyond the premise for an epic fight was the panel of Casey Jones entering the fray.
