Raph has been my favorite turtle since a long time ago, to be honest, I love almost all of his incarnations, my favorite being the 2k3 one. I really like how... dark he is in this incarnation, his anger, his sarcasm, his personality, I don't know, I just really like characters like these. I love how tough he makes himself look, when, actually, he's a big softie inside. I also love how protective he can be, and, maybe, that's one of the reasons of why he's so angry all the time, because he is always worrying. And it makes me really mad when people say that Raph doesn't care about his brothers, that he's just a big meanie, if that were true, then Raph wouldn't have cried when Leo was in a comatose state. For those who watched the 2k3 incarnation, they will remember that Raphael was the one to stay by Leo's side while he was unconscious, and if that isn't caring, then shoot me. Also, Raph's accent, that's plenty of reason to me. (just kidding)

My second favorite Raphael is the 2k7 one. A lot of people said that his anger in this movie was senseless, I don't believe in that. I understand Raph's anger and point of view in this movie, I mean, if my own brother went away for a year to train, and then, after this year was over, stopped sending letters and didn't come back for another year, I would be mad and worried. But then, he is suddenly back, without a scratch in his body, and expect everything to be back to normal? Nah my friend, I don't think so. I understand that Leonardo was ashamed of himself, that he was scared to face Master Splinter, but he has brothers, brothers that needed him. So yeah, I would be mad at Leo as well.

And, Nick's Raph. I do love him, a lot. But he's not my favorite. I feel like he's a mix of OT Raphael and 2k3 Raphael, with a lot of sarcasm, but anger as well. Buuut, he's just not my fav. Sorry.

I really enjoy 2k3 Raph as well. There are all sorts of things I'm noticing since re-watching the 2k3 show a 5th or 6th time. I forget how many times I've seen this.

My favorite Raph would definitely be the original one from the 80s cartoon. Its what I grew up with and hes been my favorite since. I do like him in the movies and the new Nick cartoon as well.

Honestly the 80's Raphael was probably one of my least favorite Raphs only because he was so different from the Mirage Raphael. I'm always open to change, but the 80's Raphael was a huge change. Maybe that's why I never got into the 80's turtles.

I do like Raphael in the Mirage, movies, 4kids, IDW, and Nick incarnations though.

CombatColdCuts · 08-05-2014, 12:51 PM

I will always love Raph from the first movie the best. He is my favorite turtle. I liked his character in the 2007 movie as well even though he seemed to point way too much. He was a bit bland in the original series but I think he was great in the 2k3 series.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-05-2014, 01:06 PM

I'm gonna go with 2k14 Raph as my fave. Maybe even more than 2k12.

pingclang · 08-05-2014, 01:34 PM

A lot of you guys like 2k3 Raph, which is awesome! I have to say I'll always love Mirage Raph most with 2k3 right behind him but 87 Raph is what got me started and where I first fell in love with the character so there's a real special place in my heart for him. No matter what version, you gotta love the guy.

*Sabacooza* · 08-05-2014, 02:06 PM

I've always been a Leo kind of guy but Raph is so damn cool and awesome he's a close 2nd. Can't help but love him.

*IndigoErth* · 08-05-2014, 02:53 PM

The old pain in the ass...

Never really been a Raph person, but I love the dynamic he and Leo have. Neither would be the same character without the other.

Do love the snarly looking "cowabunga" shot/gif.

*pennydreadful* · 08-05-2014, 06:24 PM

I hear ya, Indigo - I love the dynamic between them; wouldn't be the same without it. Raph's my #1 boy but Leo's a close second.

Parabellum · 08-05-2014, 06:31 PM

I love the Raph from the vol 1 comics and first movie. I liked how him and Casey Jones started their relationship (kicking the crap out of each other).

*Warhorse* · 08-10-2014, 02:12 AM

I love it how in the first movie, he's supposed to be the loner of the group, but he's the one that brings in the most human friends.

*Foombamaroom* · 08-11-2014, 12:56 PM

I think 2014 Raphael is my favorite just because of this

Spoiler:

I still do love 2003 series Raph, though.

*Prowler* · 08-11-2014, 01:00 PM

My favorite Raphael incarnation will always be Fred Wolf's. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see a comical take on Raphael again. He's pretty much become the "aggressive/angry one".

*pennydreadful* · 08-11-2014, 06:31 PM

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that Raph was

Spoiler:

in the new movie?

I know he was like that in Mirage, but I'm talking about how the mainstream audience sees him today.
