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

The thing about Raphael in OT is that I liked him at the time. I even still like him now. But now that I am a grown man and know what Raphael is like in Mirage, it just doesn't feel like Raphael. He's a well executed character and he's funny - but he's just not Raphael for me.

I think it's pretty funny the way the two bicker. Two of my favourite Raph/Mikey scenes from 4kids are, firstly, when Raph tells Mikey to shut it in "Reflections" (backing up Leo in the same statement, showing that despite their sibling rivalry they essentially stand for the same things and value family above all else) and secondly when they enter Bishop's facility in "Good Genes" - Mikey is worrying about aliens and 'area 51' and Raph says "can it Mikey I'm warning ya". It's funny because you know that he loves Mikey so much and would do anything to protect him, but here he is warning him like he's his father because he's tired of his immature moaning about aliens.

What I don't like about 4kids is when the other turtles and Splinter smack Mikey on the head. That's wrong.

As much as I respect Mirage for being the source material, I don't automatically like it better because of it. I liked hothead Raphael better when I was in my early teens, but nowadays I don't care much about it. I prefer the cynical/sarcastic Raphael.

I prefer the way Raphael taunts Michelangelo in the FW series myself. Never cared much for the whole Leonardo vs. Raphael thing. I'm glad the FW series didn't have any of that.

Also, it's a shame no Donatello has ever come close to the FW series one. That version of his was nerdy yet strong and assertive. he felt more like a leader than Leonardo did.
