Worst Version of Bebop and Rocksteady

*Ninturtle* · 07-25-2015, 10:45 PM

What's your least favorite version of Bebop and Rocksteady?For me it has to be the 1987 versions. They are just incompetent idiot that while funny aren't good characters in my opinion. The Nick and IDW versions are much better.

*CyberCubed* · 07-25-2015, 10:54 PM

Its probably going to be the upcoming 2016 movie versions.

The original cartoon ones are classics and have very funny moments, but I do like Nick and IDW versions too. The Archie versions also had them become more in tune with their animal side.

Fred Wolf are the worst just 2 incompetent idiots

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 07-25-2015, 11:20 PM

Pending potential Michael Bay abominations, I'd say the Nick versions.

Yeah, the OT Rock and Bop are morons, but for once, I gotta stick up for nostalgia and simply remember how much I love those idiots.

And nothing beats the IDW versions.

So for all their toughness and awesome Russian accents, the Nick versions are definitely my least favorite. Besides, I'm not a Michael Jackson fan.

There really has not been a bad version yet. I too am skeptical of what Bay could do so it could be the answer, but its not released yet. While the 1987 cartoon and the related toys are the most iconic and arguably comic relief more than anything as time progressed to season 3-7 I get an enjoyment out off the character even if not my favorite. I always wanted to see these character taken and put blood on their hands. I even suggested that to Peter Laid in person. It did happen, but it was under IDW's direction. They are like unstoppable juggernaut versions of the 1987 characters and do have blood on their hands. That being said that is my favorite. Archie's Adventures I did not care for the animal side taken over, but that was done to differentiate from the concurrent cartoon of the time and they only happened a few times anyway. I do like the Jamaican high-tech thief and Russian general angles to give them the much needed separate personalities and enjoy them this way, but prefer the IDW.

Least favorite for me would be the OT version.

If you put any other answer besides IDW, you must not be a Donatello fan.

This is so stupid , just because they killed Donatello doesn't mean they're great characters.

There is no bad version. They are consistently entertaining as hell.

*CyberCubed* · 07-26-2015, 01:05 AM

The NES-SNES Bebop/Rocksteady are always fun boss fights too.

This. Agreed.

Spoiler:

Seriously, I don't like TMNT as much without them. They are just so much damn fun. Maybe that's why I'm not a huge fan of the 4Kids version. I will never not love the crap out of these goons.

If you were that Bebop, I might feel differently. As it stands... not so much.

*neatoman* · 07-26-2015, 05:26 AM

Bebop and Rocksteady were created to fill out a toyline, I don't really think they're necessary. Not that you can't use them, it's just that there really isn't much point to them.

Even though I liked the IDW version of them I still recognise they're just there for fanservice. In the Nick cartoon they're just a pair of henchmen alongside a bunch of other henchmen, and they have been reimagined so much they might as well be new characters. In the Archie comics I think Murphy just got sick of writing them, which might be the reason they were shoved aside so early on. And then there' the Fred Wolf version of them... **** the Fred Wolf version of them, talk about annoying...

So yeah, I'd say the Fred Wolf version of them is probably the worst but then again, what I consider to be best version of them seem kind of pointless to me...

Nick Version. I don't have to add much to that anymore

*GoldMutant* · 07-26-2015, 10:21 AM

I'm going to be honest, I never really liked Bebop and Rocksteady. I've liked Tokka and Rahzar a lot more compared to them strangely.

The thing that sticks out with them is being the classic favorite mutants and always entertaining all generations. No matter which incarnation you like or dislike, they always have found a way to entertain us all. Ranging from being the dumb comic relief in the OT or interesting characters in the IDW and Nick show, you'd be hard pressed not to like them. Just my two cents on that.

However if I had to pick one, I'm going with the Fred Wolf OT. Despite being fun, the "mama!" cry got annoying and stale, they were easy to take down (you'd think they'd be threats as henchmutants), and just never really appealed to me. The voices were cool though I'll admit.

They were in the beginning. They were super strong and stuff. They also weren't as dumb in the beginning.

All of the above?
They never really did much for me, regardless of iteration. I've low patience for incompetent characters.
