Have you ever disliked any of the turtles for a brief or prolonged period of time?

I hope that made sense.

Yeah, that makes sense You dislike aspects or facets of a person but it doesn't extend to their entire personality. You allude to what I did - that all characters are a piece in the whole story, and while the turtles are the biggest piece, they're not all of it.

They also both tend to have less reach in the video games!

Nick Donatello's crush gets really old too and makes him act like an idiot / entitled jerk a lot.

Good answer. The character of Raphael is a typical one in fiction (the angry aggressive anti-hero) but he's never really annoyed me. In fact as I've grown older he's the one who's jumped the highest in my 'ranking', as I can relate to his attitude. He's now my second favourite turtle, I would say. Back in the day he'd probably have been fourth.

Lol good point about the games. In Turtles in Time Raph loses health very quickly too - all he has going for him is speed. In the NES game he and Mikey are borderline pointless.

Donatello is obviously my top man, but Donnie/April thing is doing my head in and sort of putting me off the show. Yes, he's a teenager and it's natural that he'd develop romantic feelings for a female, even a human female. But it's way overplayed imo.
