Michelangelo In Watchmojo's Most Memorable Cartoon Characters

Michelangelo,specifically the 1987 cartoon incarnation was ranked #7 on the most memorable cartoons from 1980-2015. Thought?

Cool video, though a lot of people feel they should've added more classic characters like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse. Nevertheless, I shared this with Townsend Coleman on Facebook.

I guess when WatchMojo says "of all time", they must be referring to the millennials' lifetime since they start with cartoons... in the 1980s.

So much for Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, the Flintstones, etc...

If it is 80's to through today, why would they add Bug or Mickey? those are the 30's, sure they are still represented today, but they aren't exactly "modern."

Yet WatchMojo is an irrelevant channel running on fan votes instead of making legitimate top 10s. I already made a thread with two TMNT lists, the villains one and the game one.

Honestly, Mikey may be famous from the time and still remains popular today, but in terms of "memorable," this is the one time I feel TMNT should've been either an honorable mention closer to the bottom, or off the list. There are other cartoon characters that should've been on the list; the only ones I really agreed with here were Homer, Spongebob, and if someone were to make a case, Bender and possibly Cartman.

The rest, especially Arthur, shouldn't have been on the list. Again, if I were to make a list with this kind of stuff, it'd involve lasting power and such. Only characters who debuted in cartoons though, so I'm ruling out Arthur and Charlie Brown. I'll edit it into an actual list later:

-Grunkle Stan
-Bender
-Spongebob Squarepants
-He-Man (really, any 80's character could work here)
-Betty Boop
-Homer Simpson
-Scooby-Doo
-Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny (mileage may vary on who's more deserving)
-Mickey Mouse
-Felix the Cat

It was the same speech about Michaelangelo as in another recent video. Thanks for coming out, WM!!

That takes Garfield off your list, he was a comic strip long before he was a cartoon personality.

People shouldn't care so much about top 10 lists they see online. They're just personal opinions.

Is Mickey even still relevant today? Or Bugs Bunny? have any of either modern shows been successful enough?

Not to mention Garfield goes all the way back to the 70s. How can a strip last so long, even though Jim Davis has had a team working for him in years?

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

Guys, this is WatchMojo. All they care about is the popular opinion so they can please as many 12 year-old hipsters as possible. Don't pay them any mind. Nothing to see here.

Yeah these are not even remotely honest lists, we don't even know who's opinion is being shown.

Clickbait can't even clickbait correctly if they skipped out on all these classic characters

Not really. Other than being voiced by Mike Pollock, this version of Eggman doesn't really stick out from the other versions of him/Robotnik. I'd even go as far to say Boom Eggman sticks out more.

Dr. Pingas and Boom Eggman, sure. But the uncharismatic Dr. Claw wannabe who just sat on his butt while being "Eeeevil"? Ugh... I don't know why people worship him so much.

Sadly because fanboys have way too much attachment to that cartoon and I'm not one of them. I watched it when I was young but I had absolutely little to no attachment to anybody from it. That cartoon is the start of putting Sonic in a darker storyline that some yearn for and it disgusts me. I don't even touch the Archie comics. Yeah, I don't like Satam Robotnik either.
