Who is your favorite Turtle and why?

[Raphael Let It Go]

I am sorry if this has already been asked but I am new to the boards.

I like Raphael the best obviously, as can be seen by my board name.

I have a few reasons why I like him though. My favorite color is red so when I first started watching the animated series in the late 80s I gravitated towards red. As I got older I started to like him for other reasons. The biggest reason I can think of came from the 1990 movie. I was 4 or 5 when I first started watching it and Raphael curses a few times in the movie. My parents still allowed me to watch it even though Raphael swears. He only says "damn" but for a 5 year old that was a bad word and you kind of giggle to yourself that your parents "seemed" to miss that.

I also liked how Raphael took on a large amount of the foot clan by himself in the movie. Raphael just seemed like a total badass.

My second favorite turtle is Don because he was voiced by Corey Feldman in the movie and I enjoy Feldman's work before he became a huge drug addict and therefore irrelevant.

I guess you can say the first movie had a huge impact on me and I must have seen it a hundred times. I still miss the pizza hut little league commcercial at the start of the VHS tape. I still expect it to be there when I watch the movie on subsequent formats. It felt like part of the movie and my entire family knew the words to the song. haha
