Favorite Turtle? - Page 4

Raphael...

*Powder* · 02-23-2011, 06:12 PM

I can't believe Leo is winning, either. I'm glad for it, 'cause he's my favorite, but wow!

*Donnie* · 02-23-2011, 09:02 PM

At first I was a little taken back by Leonardo being first, but then I thought about it and it does make sense he'd be the most popular. I mean, he is the leader, and I don't know if most Leo fans started liking him in their youth or not, but I think Leonardo would be kind of a default favorite for a lot of fans (especially when one is young) just because he's the leader, he wears blue, he uses swords, he's always striving for good...Leonardo has a lot going for him that makes him an attractive favorite. Like I said Donny's my favorite, but I would say Leo's second. Leo or Mirage Mikey...I don't know, tough call. Raphael would be last.

*ssjup81* · 02-24-2011, 04:42 AM

If I were to rank them, for the original toon series, it would be...

Raphael
Michaelangelo

Donny and Leo would've ranked the same for me.

Now, since I've revisited the series as an adult, it would be...

Raphael and Donny
Michaelangelo
Leo

For the Mirage Comic

Donny
Michaelangelo
Leo
Raphael

For the sake of this poll, though, I'm picking Raph. He's been my favorite for way too long for way too many years.

I'm gonna vote her 80's toon Mikey. He some how just grew on me and I think he was a pretty decent character over-all despite some of his quirks. He is also the version of Mikey's character that gets on my nerves the least.

A little *too* Raph · 02-24-2011, 03:18 PM

My fav would be Mikey, with Don in a close second.

NameGoesHere1066 · 02-24-2011, 05:16 PM

My favorite is Raphael with Leo at about equal, but for this poll I voted for Donny just because he had such a low vote count; which is a shame.

Oh man if your truly a Raph fan you need to vote for him we need all the votes we can get

Alex · 02-25-2011, 01:27 AM

Mikey is my absolute favorite.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 02-25-2011, 07:32 AM

Leonardo, followed up by Donatello.

Shellsweet · 03-03-2011, 05:56 PM

Donatello's always been my favorite. <3
I love all of them though, And It certiantly doesn't surprise me that Leo is taking the win. XD

Amen!

Donatello for life!

*Jephael* · 03-04-2011, 09:24 AM

Michaelangelo has always been my favorite while Raphael is a close second.

Icegaze · 03-25-2011, 09:21 AM

I was expecting Raphael and Michelangelo to dominate the poll but I was utterly wrong. A pleasant surprise to see my favourite turtle, Leo, ahead. :tsmile

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 04-04-2011, 02:51 AM

I don't mean to offend the Donatello supporters, but what was it about the 1987 Donatello that was liked? I mean Donatello's personality consists of him being a scientific genius that always invented things, plus got a PhD in one episode "Donatello's Degree." If Donatello was such a smart scientific genius who has a knack for inventing then why did most of his invensions blow up in his face? Most scientists when they have something blow up, it's because they are experimenting with something to make an explosion happen.

Also when I was a kid back in the day, it did seem like that Michelangelo was the top favorite. Propably because kids see him as the turtle that kids can connect with; fun, party animal, cool, and kid-like. But when those kids grew up and understood personality better, they seem to converted to Leonardo when they realized what his role to the team was about.

Speaking of which, I mentioned it in an earlier reply, but here it goes again. Leonardo is my top turtle. He has been for the past 25 years in every format. This also brings up a positive characteristic about me that I never learned until I got older: loyal and committed. What I like or love or anything I set my passions and intersts in, I stick with it completely all the way forever. I've always been like that. I am loyal to Leonardo regardless of the TMNT format, nothing else.

While Donny isn't my favorite, I think I can handle this. I'd say #1 would be his humor. Donny was always cracking dry jokes, had hilarious reactions to the many wild situations he and his brothers found themselves in, and spoke with a good deal of sarcasm when appropriate. He wasn't JUST a genius, or even truly a "genius" at all... He just did machines.

As for his explosive inventions, A. look at what he has to work with... scrap from the junkyard & stuff found in the sewer. Not exactly the most reliable materials. B. It's a cartoon, don't read into it that much.

^This. Donatello was the go-to-guy when the Turtles had a problem. he was almost the second in comand of the Turtles. He did also have a very dry sence of humor. Donnie isn't my favorite in the OT (That's Raph Paulsen) but he is my second favorite, and I like him because he's slightly egotistical dispite the explosive inventions, but most of the time is the indispencable Turtle of the group. How often if he's missing do they say, "Man we need Donatello!"?

Lots of people read into things they are passionate about. Well let me read further. Junkyard material or not, still a genius should be able to work around the bugs.
