Your fave incarnation of Raph? - Page 2

11-19-2005, 01:03 PM

This pole is going exactly as I predicted...

Old-school Raph is winning, and TNM Raph and Image Raph hasn't got a single vote.

**Jester** · 11-19-2005, 01:04 PM

Well Raph as the New Shredder...not exactly making us fan-dudes jump for joy...:p

11-19-2005, 01:11 PM

It's not just that. the whole Image series was a sin.

Come on, Jester... You're a religous guy. you ought to know the eleventh commandment... "Thou shalt not desecrate the TMNT".

**Jester** · 11-19-2005, 01:15 PM

Indeed...One-handed Leo, Cyborg Don, Shredder Raph and Bat Splinter...Only Mike comes away un scathed....

11-19-2005, 01:20 PM

Not to mention that Raph got half his face mangled and ended up looking like TwoFace *gag*

**Jester** · 11-19-2005, 01:23 PM

Hence the wearing of a Casey Style hockey mask and later Shredder's mask.

lol, i think i missed something along the road here

**Jester** · 11-19-2005, 01:31 PM

Image Raphie talk....sorry....
As I said OT Raph
Then Archie, NT, Movie, Mirage, NM, and Image

Rikirk · 11-19-2005, 03:41 PM

There always needs to be a token *jerk* in every group...

Now, The term jerk may be a bit too harsh for Raphael...but he is a blatant hothead, act first...figure things out afterward. Thats why I like him in the new version better.

He was a wiseguy in the old series, and dont get me wrong..I liked the old series a lot. But the new series...and the new Raph has an edge that makes the show so much better.

but thats just my opinion.

what was Raphael from the archie comics like? And to be honest I really didn't like that black outfit thing he would wear it contrasted to much with the other turtles looks.

Well he was pretty much like Raph from the OT, the Archie comics started out doing adaptions of the episodes, so that may explain that, as the series went on he got much....I don't know If "angry" is the word but when the series got darker, so did Raph, and the other TMNT as well.

**Jester** · 11-21-2005, 07:49 AM

Yep, and the whole "Black Suit" was him wearing a suit he was given to wrestle in on Stump's Asteroid, he kept wearing his as a token of individuality...wonder if it was a nod to Spidey getting a black costume in a "secret war" on in far away place?

Blondus · 11-22-2005, 04:03 AM

One of the main reasons i like the old tune Raph can be summed up with a quote...

"You better talk... or else i'm gonna get... SARCASTIC".

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 11-23-2005, 02:22 PM

Mirage Raph hands down is the best Raph.

Lady Venus · 11-23-2005, 04:42 PM

Old Toon Raph is my fav one under Leo that is.

NightwatchersOnlygirl · 11-24-2005, 08:34 AM

The new toon Raphael oh that voice so sexy

*Sage Ninja* · 11-26-2005, 01:39 AM

this is my thought on classic cartoon raphael and why I like this vesion of him the best and that is...

Raphael's humour, OMG I don't know what it is but I just love his sence of humour

Raphael's humour was one that I really enjoyed very much, he was just had a sarcastic way about him that is hard to emulate. I loved how he could say something and you really could hear what he was really thinking at that moment. He always had this "you dumb ass" tone of voice when ever he would make a comment to something another character would would say, and it would just crack me up.

I loved his wit and whip lash sarcasm, his personality really put the cartoon on a more mature level in my oppinion. His humour was such that even an adult would chuckle at things he would say. And it isn't even what he would say that was funny, it was how he say it that made it humourous. I mean the dialougue for Raphael was pretty well written and well thought out, but it was really the dilvery that made his lines really great.

I loved that incarnation of Raphael, I get miffed when people disdain this version of him just because he wasn't anything like he was supposed to be in the mirage comics. Classic toon Raphael kicked ass

11-26-2005, 03:13 AM

Damn right, Sage Ninja. And not only is old series Raph the best one, he's the smartest one out of all the incarnations too.

**GK Punk** · 11-26-2005, 03:16 AM

Rob Van Dam all the way.

Actually, Old school raph is who I voted for

Oh I don't know if smart is the best word for it. I think Raphael in the new toon is rather smart even if he in the past has had the tendacy to fly off the handle. Raphael in the classic cartoon was one of those people who can come up with a cuastic retort on the spot and nail you you with it. Kind of like that chick that hosts the Weakest Link.

I liked how Raphael's humour wasn't forced and unnatural. Half of what made his dilugue work was that his quips seemed geniuan and appropriate for that moment and just flowed, which I think added impact. It gave you an easy laugh instead of a half hearted: "eh heh...that was kinda stupid" reaction.

What I liked is that much of the time Raphael didn't appear as though he was attentically trying to be funny it just came out that way because he was just cynical about everything.
