Anyone who loved one turtle the first time you saw tmnt and?

And after years of being a tmnt fan and with a good knowledge of the tmnt universe or maybe you just grow up and your character changed a little etc. So another turtle become your favourite?

I used to like Mikey best, like over 10 years ago I started knowing tmnt, I was about 14.I like him because he is fun, childish, harmless, very into teenage pop culture(well,the words maybe not properly):like TV, movie, popcorn, video games, comics.etc.These character fitted me,and for that reason Orange is my favourite color and that even became a small part of reason that Orioles is my favourite baseball club(I am not a US so that reasonable right? Yankee Stadium was once in 2k3 series and you just ignore that?)

And in recent years I am starting prefer Raph more and more, I didn't tend to change myself character but life is just like that, maybe I just wasn't into the Mikey style things as it was(in fact I have more money to buy such things), now I like watching a ball game or playing it, or punching a bag sometimes.And I reckon myself a hot head too.Can't control my bad temper sometimes.

Don't get me wrong I am still into tv and movies, I think fans like us are all kinda like geeks.

By the way I saw you guys mentioned "OT" a lot, just want to know what series exactly it is.google and wiki didn't work, i think it's a prase between fans.

My poor English may cause some ambiguous, if so,i am sorry and they are all unintended.

Your English is pretty good, don't worry.

I've liked Leonardo for my entire life, but there were brief periods as a kid where I'd prefer another turtle. Usually it was because of a new toy coming out where I liked Raph's design more than Leo's or something.

I think that's probably quite common. Old fans may have grown up and appreciate different things or attitudes now, and the characters in a way have also 'grown up' in terms of development of their personalities and traits over the years. (Though not always in the maturity sense.)

As for myself though, it hasn't changed (Leo). After being away a long time, I've been happy to return and find that I still have the same favorite AND in my absence he 'grew up' to be even more relateable than before.

Can't say I've seen an actual definition, but I've assumed it to mean "old toon" or "original toon" and refer to the original 1987 cartoon.

I've primarily liked Leo the most, but as a kid I have circulated between Leo and Don.

[Leo656]

For some reason I've never once wavered on liking Leo best.

[Prowler]

Michelangelo was my favorite when I was 5-6 years old. Then Donatello became my favorite a few years later and finally Raphael when I entered my teens and his jokes stopped flying over my head.

[pennydreadful]

Raph was always my fave as a kid, and that's pretty much carried through to adulthood - with the exception of the 2k12 show where my fave is Donnie. Cuz I'm just whacky that way.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Hmm, nope, can't say that ever really happened to me. Mikey has ALWAYS been my favorite, from the 90's movies and OT (yes, Indigo is correct in that it refers to the 80's-90's toon), on. The only exception is the Nick series, where Donnie as actually my favorite, due to Mikey having been so severely dumbed down in it. But in every other version I've seen, it's wlays been the "party dude". I just love his laid-back, fun-loving, pop-culture junky, jokester personality. And he's also always struck me as having a deeper side that rarely gets to be shown, but it intrigues me. Noticed it even when I was a kid watching the old cartoon.

[Huzzah]

Michelangelo had always, and will always be my favorite. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I've never really liked Raphael. I do waver between Leonardo and Donatello as my second favorite, depending on the series.

Quick Tip: You should probably go into Edit on all those posts and Copy/Paste all those quotes into one single long post. People get cranky about that here. There's a Multi-Quote option, also, for future reference.

You can also wait for the Mods to merge all the posts into one, but they're going to say the same thing I just did. Just helping out.

Raph was my favorite as a kid, but mostly because of how he was in the original toon. He was the funniest character in the show, and I like the color red and his sai's, so.

Admittedly "hot-head" Raph isn't as appealing, but when done right he's pretty good.

Leo is probably second, if only because he's "standard" and everyone likes swords. Mike/Don are tied for third place.

That's understandable,if there was a chance turtles were on sale in the store then I would impressed by Leo

Now Don's my favorite because I've seen more of TMNT than the 2012 series, and I like that he's the smart and level headed one, then Mikey and Leo are tied for second. Ironically, I'm pretty sure I draw Raph the most. Heh.

Yes,just what i meant

Your guys are solid Mikey fans

For me Leo is my 4th favourite turtle,he is responsibility,care for his brothers,good students,a good leader...Good qualities but just not my thing.Opposite Raph without saying.

[Walkabout]

I started out liking Mikey the most, when I got a bit older Raph was my dude.
(I'm talking 80's and early 90's cartoon here)

Which makes me love the dynamic between those two. All the butting heads they do, but it pushes them both to be better people. Neither would be the same without the other. And I guess it also just feels familiar after growing up with a competitive younger sibling. lol

[ImmaAxolotl]

My favorite was Don and always will be Don. The only version of him that I don't like is 2012. He just isn't enjoyable or likable for me.
My favorite turtle in 2012 would probably be Raphael, just because he's the least annoying out of the main four.

[Wesley]

Leo was my favourite as a kid, but I started to like Raph more in my teens. More recently, both Leo and Raph are my favourites, though it can depend on which version of tmnt I'm talking about. I like Mikey and Don nearly as much.

[Danetello]

Donatello and Michelangelo have always been my joint favourites, although, as an adult and re-watching the OT I do find Raphael quite humorous in away that I didn't as a kid.

[billbot85]

When I was a kid watching the OT, Michelangelo was my favorite. I just loved his fun-loving, kid-like personality and love of pizza. When I played with my figures, I always had him driving the Party Wagon, haha.

When I first saw the 1990 movie not long after, Raph became my favorite. Still, even seeing him in the other versions of the franchise, I realized I still like him the best. Whether he's wise-cracking, losing his temper, or just being a bad-ass, Raph still rocks.

Would you say that Raphael is more funnier than Michelangelo in the original series?

As for me, Leonardo has always been my favorite because as a kid, I loved the color blue and always had a thing for the leadership role. Now, it's because he's the most calm of his brothers which I can relate to. Raphael is slowly becoming my second favorite but I doubt he will ever top Leo for me.

[turtlefanforever]

i've always liked Michelangelo best. But there are certainly people like that. You being the only one that comes to mind
