Least Favorite Turtle?

[Anton Chigurh]

TOKKAr...... does that count

[Thoughtmirror]

My favorite would be 2003 Donatello and my least favorite would have to be 2007 Michangelo. They didn't do him any justice in the 2007 movie, sadly.

He still portrayed the intelligence necessary of the character. Just because he got along with Mikey the most given the alienating battles between Leo and Raph doesn't mean he was a carbon copy of Mikey.

In the first movie? I disagree with that. The only close bit would be him helping fix a truck with Casey (which even Raph could do that). Nothing else in the original 1990 film showed that Donny was "intelligent or nerdy."

Because he knows the word 'homophobic'? I agree with the other guy. They just made him "Mikey part 2" in the first film.

To me, the Donny in the 2nd film did that much better (both voice-wise as well as character wise) by showing the intelligent/articulate/nerdy side.

Plus, for me, Corey Feldman could never cut it as the voice of Donatello (and I like Feldman...he even impressed me as the voice of Slash...but just not as Donny.)

Agreed I believe SOTO Donnie was the best out of all versions. However to get back on subject I really didn't like 2k3 Raph, but its because Raph is by far my favorite turtle( probably favorite character in anything fiction) and he didnt live up to my standards

I guess I don't have a least favorite. To me, all of them are equal, except for Leo, who is my ultimate favorite. I don't see any of them with faults of any kind.

Don't you mean claustrophobic?

And either way, your phrase (even Raphael could help Casey fix the truck) in the comics, wasn't it Raphael that actually had talent in the mechanical department and did indeed help Casey fix the truck.

I wonder why the cartoon never elude to that side of Raphael, showing that he is pretty smart, never on the level of Donnie, but he knows his way around an engine.

Oh, they held him back to make Leo look superior. I don't know why they do that, it's supposed to be a team effort, and Leo is supposed to guide his team to victory, not have this "in order for things to be done right I have to do them myself"

I just counted and notice Leo seems to be the least liked of the guys. Hmmm, maybe because he's too much of a stiff?

[Gin Rummy]

That's tough. I generally enjoy the Turtles equally. Their personalities compliment one another. And each of their strengths make up for another's weakness.

I suppose I never really like Leo in 2k3 and in the 2007 movie. I understand he is the leader, but I hate when he is head and shoulders better than his brothers. It undersells the idea of them being a team, and needing one another in battle.

[CyberCubed]

It depends on how they're used. Any turtles personality can get really annoying if they're forced upon us or badly written at times.

[CowabungaMikey]

Most of the times it's a tie between Raph and Leo. It just depends on the incarnation. My favorite Turtle is Michelangelo, but my least favorite Michelangelo incarnation is The Next Mutation.

[pannoni1]

Leonardo since he tends to be the least dynamic of all the Turtles. Why like Leo when all he does is learn off of Splinter and basically just comes up with plans and key attacks? That said, I still like them all, but without the numerous variety of mental emotions that Raphael goes through, the geekyness of Donatello (though he can be boring in some incarnations and would be my second least favorite), and the coolness of Michelangelo, Leonardo may not be as entertaining as the others.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Cant, I just cant do it. They are all awesome, it's hard enough to say who my fav is.

[Zachatello00]

Venus. I find her to be repulsive.

[NameGoesHere1066]

Michelangelo...just Michelangelo...the only time I find him tolerable is in the early mirage and even Image comics. Other that, easily my least favorite.

While Leo's always been my favorite (I think it was originally the weapons), I can't really argue with you on his less dynamic development in different incarnations.

That's kind of why I like IDW's Leo so much. He's got more layers of personality. He has the standard Leo parts, but there's a little bit of a vengeful side he's shown against the Foot in battle ("no one escapes" in his micro-series entry) and....sometimes he can just kind of be a dick, and not in the "follow my lead" way. I mean, isn't that common for the "oldest" brother to sometimes be kind of a turd to his siblings?

I think those different aspects to the others and the lack of them in Leo is really a reflection on writers not exploring him more, though and putting him in scenarios to explore those different aspects to the character. One of the reasons I've said on a few threads I was hoping to see him and Alopex develop a friendship. Leo is usually lacking on relationships of any sort outside the family. Guy needs to make some friends...

You moron, leo is superior to all of the other turtles you idiot!! Why do you think he is the leader? He's beat the shreddar alone more than once. He has got the focus, the heart and the patience and most of all the talent. Which is something raphael will never have. so please try to be smart.

Besides Patience Raph has all that stuff. The series hammers it until your skull that his anger holds him back. Leo is a perfectionist and a book smart boyscout his limited imagination holds him back.

[electric_sheep]

Does Venus or Kirby count? out of the four main ones, don't have one. All four of them make one complete personality, or that's just how i see it...

[Leofan26]

I never really had a least favorite till now, 2012 Mikey sadly

When he has forced jokes or acts really stupid it makes me just

Chill out, Jett... you don't have to get vicious. Everyone's got a favorite turtle, you don't have to get nasty to those who don't agree with you.
