Have your taste for your favorite TMNT character changed over the years?

[Time Mistress]

Mike was my fave from the original toon, Raph my least. After I saw the first movie Raph became my fave. It's like I hadn't known the character at all, the old toon watered him down so much. I started collected Mirage and Raph continued to be my fave. I also liked how they did him in Archie as well -less violent, but still with an attitude. I was getting a little tired of surfer dude Mike from the original toon by then, but the Mirage comics made me love Mike all over again too with him being a writer, having a cat like mine, and being easygoing without being a doofus, and totally able to kick butt. No grappling hooks in Mirage! Once the new toon came out, Mike and Raph have been pretty even for my fave. Season 1, I was leaning more towards Raph as they finally got his personality right for a toon. Season 2, I was leaning more towards Mike with What a Croc & Battle Nexus. After reading the novelization of the new movie, I have a feeling Raph will be back on top for a while again.
