Mikey: Do you like how this show is treating him? - Page 4

Shred87 · 06-02-2013, 05:18 PM

Always liked thinking of mikey as the best natural ninja with the most talent, liked how he won Battle Nexus in the 4kids series. Hated the whole A team B team ep in this Nick series as I thought it buried Mike and Don to an extent

DaVinci · 06-03-2013, 01:00 PM

I liked the bit in 'I, Monster' when Splinter says something about 'a great mental force' and Raph says, "Well, that rules out Mikey." Except Mikey says the same thing at the same time and then says Raph is predictable.

Plainly not that dumb if he shows a professional's disdain for poor comedy.

I'm ok with it. Just because the producers are fans of the show doesn't mean they have to make a carbon copy of it. Every series should be distinct from the others. As long as he gets to shine from time to time I'm cool with it.

Agreed. I think it's been pretty even this series.

Raphael had the anger management episode and cockroach saga.
Donatello had the do without thinking episode and the Pulverizer (poor Don).
Leonardo's had the whole complex relationship thing with Karai.
Mikey had a lot screen time with Leatherhead and he's going to have the Parasitica episode too.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-04-2013, 12:10 PM

Yeah, and I like how even though an episode focuses on one specific Turtle, the others get to shine as well in that ep. That's something 4kids lacked.

I love they way they are using Mikey in this series. He has always had a big heart and his comedy in this series is brilliant. I mean his comedic timing is spot on. He always knows how to lighten a situation. If anybody thinks they are using him in a bad way they should refer to the original series. I never really noticed when I was a kid but watching it now the Mikey in that series grates on my nerves. I realize he was supposed to be a surfer like character but he says tubuloso and all this other crap way too much. This new series is fantastic I love it.

*Luckyday* · 06-05-2013, 02:13 PM

Was the last series or OT's version that got on your nerves?

Dudette · 06-05-2013, 02:26 PM

I've liked Mikey so far in the show. He's refreshing compared to the more-narcissistic Mikey in 2k3. I feel he could be the best ninja out of them all, but, like previously mentioned, he just has some concentration issues. We all know that he may not be the brightest of the bunch, but he certainly is not dumb. He's the one who always tries to lighten the mood and who tries to sidetrack his brothers out of their fighting from time to time.

The series is still quite young. I think I'll have to see a bit more before I can say for certain, but so far I have nothing to complain about.

Original series from the 80s.

Well to be honest I think Nick is enlarging some of the turtles´ particularities.. And that´s why Mickey seems even more stupid.. However it is my opinion that despite being goofy he still´s with that sense of discerning between good and bad, much better than his brothers do (like happened with leatherhead for example).. Even when he says random things about something and possibilities he, without realizing, opens his brothers eyes (TCRI episode for example).. He just doesn´t know all the data but he has a superior judgment to what is good or bad if compared to his brothers..
He keeps showing us the fun side of a fight, but he is serious when the situation demands it, like when they were fighting shredder..
There´s only one thing that bothers me on nick TMNT, because in the 2k3 and OT I used to see mickey as the most gifted of his brothers, but not the best fighter because of is lack of self-discipline.. Now I don´t see that much talent on him, maybe it´s my incorrect judgment but I see him more clumsy and not so fast..
Of course the show is just beginning (I hope

) so perhaps we should wait more to see his development..

IDK XD he was the only one to nail Shedder pretty good.
by using his kusarigama

and he learned Bradfords secret kata so fast, Leo and Raph were still trying to figure it out.

shredderhead · 06-13-2013, 12:20 PM

Maybe you are right.. He really learned it very fast and usually he get knock because of his uncontrollable need to make comments during the fight hahah.. But maybe it´s better if we wait for the upcoming episodes..

I'm a super slowpoke and just recently got into the show and have been loving the new changes an additions to the characters. Mikey was always my fav and I'm still loving him here. He's a goof, but a loveable one.

*Zulithe* · 06-22-2013, 05:05 PM

The great thing about Mikey is he's got way more potential and skill than what appears on the surface. The showrunners have a lot of fun playing off of that. I think he's a good role model because he lets all the comments run off his shell like so much water.

Vi11AiN6 · 07-08-2013, 09:43 AM

Mikey steals the Nick show easily, he IS the comic relief of the show. Also
lets remember he is the YOUNGEST of the brothers, I think he's a hit with kids and without him this show would heavily be lacking in comedic relief..

dudeabides · 07-08-2013, 11:28 PM

At least in the most recent episode he got his due. You know, when he saved his bros not once but twice from becoming wasp food.
