Did you just call me Ecto-Cooler?

[Warhorse]

I did, didn't I. Where in the hell did that come from. I think I heard someone called that and it got stuck in my brain. Sorry Ecto 1 Oh, I mean Ecto Jedi. I won't do it again, but I am also too lazy to re-edit my posts.

Yeah, I understand -- there actually was another dude on here by the name of Ecto_Cooler.

Just don't let it happen again.

Corey Feldman was also in Lost Boys.

While I can relate most to Mikey, then Raph, my fave is Don.
Leo is my least fave, but it doesn't mean I don't like him. He represents the least compatible personality with mine.

[Class is Pain 101]

1.Donatello
2.Raphael
3.Mikey
4.Leo

Mikey used to be my favorite as a kid, but Donnie is now, Raph and Mike's places switch often, but I will always hate Leo.

[Roseangelo]

My favorite always has been and always will be Mikey. Despite the fact that I really do share traits with all four Turtles, Mike is just the one that I've latched onto. I love how he can be so care-free and goofy but then a total badass when he needs to be.

The traditional order I've held is:
Mike
Don
Raph
Leo

But the 2k3 series really made me like Leo a lot more, so those last three spots have somewhat fluctuated in recent years.

Why is Donnatello so great?

love that movie!

Jo Dawn, I agree with you that Don's voice should be softer. Sometimes in the new toon I think his VA really overacts though... he sounds a little too whiny. He's actually the reason why Don is my "least favourite," although the movie version doesn't help, either. If only the comics existed, he'd be a near-favourite but I don't think anyone knows how to portray him well otherwise. (Plus I basically am Mikey, although I'm second-most like Don.) I can't wait to see him in the new movie. I have a feeling he will own it, although subtly.

But getting to my point, I thought movie Don was a terrible representation of Don, but a really cool character in his own right. He got all the really sharp, funny lines (heh, like the Kodak moment). He was more of a comic book nerd than a sensitive introvert in the movies, and for that I though Corey Feldman was bang-on. Heh, Don was hilarious. What was with that straw hat he was wearing during training? And he was wandering around the farm humming "Old Macdonald." He was pretty hilarious, albeit not exactly a thoughtful genius. His role was too small, though.

Warhorse, I LOVE The Goonies! Man I gotta rent that.

Well... Yeah. The movies (except the second, and the third to a degree) were the worst representation of Don ever. The first one was the worst. Gladly, we've been reassured that he won't be like that in the new movie, by Kevin himself. However, I never thought Don was funny in the first movie. In fact, I sat there, head in hands, very disappointed.

Though I was thinking last night, that really, my grudge wasn't so much with Feldman as the voice (though I still don't LOVE) but with his poor characterization overall.

And iris... I... I don't even know where to START with that... You'll have to give me a minute.

'Exactly why I think Don's portrayal in the first movie was the greatest.

[Rooish]

I wanna hear Jo Dawn's reasons that Don is the best. I'm sure she can give a much better list than I could give for Mikey.

[Sage Ninja]

Rooish, is that Raph or Mikey in the avatar? I can't tell.

As to who is my favorite turtle? I love tham all just about equally, with a slight more bit of emphasis on Michaelangelo. I fell in love with Michaelangelo and his portrayal in the classic cartoon. He was cool and laid back and fun. the new toons Michaelangelo took a little getting used too but a came to love him him too, and I like the edge they gave him in the new toon.

other than that all the turtles i love.

It's Mikey, you can see the orange.

Plus the name, Rooish=Mikey.

[JetsAndHeels]

Leo is my favorite...always has been. I like that he is the leader and has a strong will. He is the most disciplined and puts family above everything else. Of course like everyone else here I love them all. After Leo i guess it would be Raph, Mike, and then Don.

[Rooish]

Thanks, ThemanthatwouldbeRaph.

Sage Ninja, I'm not sure how much you read the comics (sorry, you might have said before but I forget). In the new comics one of the characters (Shadow) calls Mikey "Rooish" as a nickname. I thought it was pretty cute.

My avatar is Mikey; he has some subtle differences in face shape in the movies from Raph, although their bandannas did look like a similar colour because Mikey wore a dark saturated orange bandanna.

And JetsAndHeels, I hear ya there. I really do love all the guys. I suppose I ranked them in order of how much I enjoy them.

Oh, Rooish is Mikey's nick name That is diffrent. Whyt does shadow call him that, was there a reason given? Does she have cute nick names for the other turtles. And you are right Mike and Raph do look diffrent in most of the movies, but the freckles kinda through me because genrally Live ACTION MIKEY didn't have freckles, so I thought it could be Raph.

I believe the story on the name is that Peter Laird's daughter had a cat named Mikey and over the years the nickname for the cat evolved through several names to Rooish, so he decided to use that in the book.

[Time Mistress]

Mike to Mikeroo to Rooish as I understand it.
