Sympathatic portrayals?

there are several diffrent version of the turtles, and I think what makes the turtles so popular with fans is how you can relate to them and how their personalites draw you into their characters and you feel real emotions for them, because they inspire sympathy. Sympathatic characters seem to really popular among fan groups, and I was wondering do you think some versions of the same character are more relatable and sympathatic than other versions?

Like I notice alot of people seem to feel that OT leonardo isn't very sympathatic character to alot of people because they feel he is more bossy and a teacher's pet than NT Leo. Do fans think NT Leo is a more sympathatic version than OT Leonardo? Is it because he plays the protective older brother more than his OT counter-part?

How about OT Donatello and new toon Don. OT Don seems to inspire alot of emotion from fans because of all the things he's gone through and keeps it to him self and how quite and complex he is, as opposed to say OT Don who is more cynical and millitant than NT Don but has the added sympathy factor of possibly being the most emotionaly restricted of the other turtles.

Same with OT Raphael and Nt Raphael, would you say NT Raphael's anger and angst makes him more of a sympathatic character than his OT counter part who was more of wise cracking yet easy going character?

Or OT Michaelangelo and NT Mike, they are both fun loving characters and probably don't have angst to make them sympathatic characters but does any one feel that one version of Michaelangelo makes him more relatable and sympathic than the other due to how their emotions are shown or how they deal with tough situations?
