Have your taste for your favorite TMNT character changed over the years? - Page 2

Time Mistress · 02-01-2007, 12:08 PM

Mike was my fave from the original toon, Raph my least. After I saw the first movie Raph became my fave. It's like I hadn't known the character at all, the old toon watered him down so much. I started collected Mirage and Raph continued to be my fave. I also liked how they did him in Archie as well -less violent, but still with an attitude. I was getting a little tired of surfer dude Mike from the original toon by then, but the Mirage comics made me love Mike all over again too with him being a writer, having a cat like mine, and being easygoing without being a doofus, and totally able to kick butt. No grappling hooks in Mirage! Once the new toon came out, Mike and Raph have been pretty even for my fave. Season 1, I was leaning more towards Raph as they finally got his personality right for a toon. Season 2, I was leaning more towards Mike with What a Croc & Battle Nexus. After reading the novelization of the new movie, I have a feeling Raph will be back on top for a while again.

*Kendamu* · 02-01-2007, 12:50 PM

Originally Mikey. Then Raph grew on me and was my favorite for a really long time. Now I tend to like all of them just about the same but Raph still is my "favorite by default". Out of non-turtles, though, Casey is the man!

*Spitfire* · 02-01-2007, 04:06 PM

Don has always been my favorite ninja turtle. I always loved Leatherhead the most. I didn't start to like Rat King alot until I got older though.

*Sage Ninja* · 02-01-2007, 04:32 PM

ooh what a topic. In the 1987 series as a kid:

Michaelangelo

teehee with all the turtles falling a very close second. However I went back a forth of who my favorite second fav was, which was generally Leonardo and Raphael. Leonardo usally because he didn't take cheap shots at Michaelangelo like Raphael did.

As an adult 1987:

Michaelangelo is still my favorite but I've really come to appriciate the awsomeness that is Donatello. He was really fleshed out as a character in the old toon. And I've come to really appriciate Raphael's humour alot more now that i'm older.

2k3 series...

as a whole it took me the better half of season one for me to even give this new incarnation of my favorite show the time of day. I watched scattered episodes and really couldn't even get through one whole episde at a time. When I finnally got over my "this isn't what I grew up with"!! prejiduce I was very horrified at how my favorite turtle from old was being portryed. My first TMNT episode that I ever watched all the way through was Garbage Man and I was pissed off beyond words at how Michaelangelo was written, I was ready to send hate mail but decided the show was just not worth me even bitching over and stopped watching till about the biggening of season two, where I fell in love with Leonardo and his awsome portrayal, Don became a close second and Raphael was able to tolerate. Then I caught a some re-runs of season one, particularly The Unconvincing Turtle Titan and it finnally was able to accept Mikey as a character thanks to his one shot character episode, and season two offered more facets to his character so he gradually started to move up the favorite line.

And season three and that episode in season four Grudg Match have done well to flesh him out and i've come to adore him. I still have my gripes and reservations about New Toon Mikey's portrayal but he has finnaly become my favorite again.

As of right now it goes Mikey as my favorite with Leonardo as a dead second with Raphael and Donatello being tyed.

Well first started out liking mikey a lot. Then bout age 13 i began to like Donatello, because of his peacefulness, love not war on animated series. Then til bout 2 months ago I loved Casey Jones. Now I like Raph, I can just relate to him so easily.

Lady Venus · 02-02-2007, 02:33 PM

When I 6 my fav was Leo and now that I'm 25 it's stil Leo.

Sariele · 02-03-2007, 05:15 AM

My first exposure to TMNT OS was in Singapore on a family holiday when I was 8 years old. I have fond memories of spending an evening with another family's kids in our hotel watching this new "ninja turtles" thing and eating Nerds (how '89/'90 can you get?!). On that trip my bro bought a Raph action figure, and when we got back to Australia he was showing it to all his buddies and telling them it was the next big thing. They all scoffed, but sure enough within a couple of months, everyone was watching it after school every day!

Bringing this back on topic, I don't know if it was my brother's toy or Raph's general coolness and humour that made me love him, but he was my all-time fave character in the original series. I also kind of liked Mikey, but thought Leo and Don were sort of boring.

I then found myself pretty much having nothing to do with TMNT for the next fifteen years, until late last year I began "acquiring" episodes of the OS to basically bring back some childhood memories. Raph was still my favourite, but found I liked Leo and Don more than Mikey. I then "acquired" the three films that I think I'd seen as a kid but never really paid any attention to. Raph and Leo are my faves in them.

After that, I began buying the DVDs of the 2k3 series on a whim, and still gravitated towards Raph, although I'm not sure if it's because he's my genuine favourite or if it was just out of habit! I don't like it when he's angry at anyone in the family, but I love it when he gets all p*ssed off at anyone who threatens them. Don and Leo are my second faves still, but Don probably wins more often because when Leo gets too intense or serious (esp. late season 3 - early season 4) he just annoys me. But when he's in a good mood I love him to bits.

Apart from when I was a little kid with the OS, Mikey irritates me. I know that's not fair of me, and he has plenty of redeemable moments, but for the most part his particular humour and personality traits just grate on me a bit. But I suppose I quite like him in the movies; he's a little more understated. Or the others are a little more outgoing. Either way it helps. Hehe.

I can't believe the length of this post, I'm so sorry!

*Mr. Snackpants* · 02-03-2007, 10:08 AM

My favorite has always been Mikey. Leo has always been my least favorite. Since the 2k3 toon started I've started to like don more than ever. raph has in the old toon didn't seem like raph.

Mandi-chan · 02-03-2007, 10:23 AM

Old Toon: Michelangelo was my favorite. Now that I'm older, and have seen a few eps of the old toon again, I can't decide who I like best.

Original Movie-verse: I fell in love with Mikey, and I can easily say that this universe's portrayal of Michelangelo is my favorite. He's funny, but not embarrassing or stupid. He's also a great fighter and is just adorable to me.

Comics: I can't decide which turtle is my favorite, they're all great!

New Toon: At first, it was Mikey...but that was more out of my love for the character in the past. The more I see of new toon Mikey, the more I dislike him (I don't hate him though, I do still like him...I just don't love him)...he's really immature and embarrassing to watch 99% of the time. He got worse as the show moved on too. So, no...Mikey is NOT my favorite turtle of the new toon...

I fell in love with Donnie instead!

Charming, smart, funny, a kick ass fighter! He's easily my favorite version of the character!

The New Movie looks great, but the characters (judging from the trailer) aren't quite like their original movie-verse counterparts. The trailer made Mikey seem an awful lot like the new toon version of him, and I hope I'm horribly mistaken about that.

I seriously can't decide which portrayal of Donatello I like more, New toon or Classic toon. I like them both! However as an adut I'm watching some old toon episodes and there are a few episodes where he can be a bit condensending and it a bit of a turn off to his character. He is still competely awsome and I have developed a better appreciation for his character now than I did as a kid, but New toon Donatello is awsome and smart with out being condesending which I like.

hmm, New toon Mikey isn't getting a whole lot of love lately. I know what I don't really like about his personality, I feel there is postive aspects about his personality that out weigh his negative ones. What exactly is there about New toon Mikey's personilty that is a turn off to some people? Is it soley his immaturity or is it more his cockiness that offends people. And is it really a bad thing if CGI Mikey turns out to be like his new toon counterpart?

*Warhorse* · 02-08-2007, 04:21 PM

Well, my intake on new toon Mikey. It's not that I don't like him, because I do. But I find him insanely annoying at times, so he automatically gets bumped down to my least favorite Turtle of the group.

But I like his movie counterpart. That Mikey is really sweet, while still being able to joke around, in an unannoying way.

*cowabunga14* · 02-08-2007, 07:13 PM

Ok, for me it started out as Leo being my favorite because I felt he was the most responsible at the time being the leader than whatnot. He was probably the Turtle I wanted to be like the most when I was a kid. Then, for some reason, it changed to Mikey when my teenage years started to come around. He's the one I relate the most because of my character and similar outlook on life. So yeah, I don't think I'm gonna change my taste again for quite a while.

That would be Renet. She was featured in a few of the comics (namely TMNT #8 Vol. 1), which you can read if you'd like to learn more about her.

I really wish FF never came to pass, then they could have gone further in the comic adaptions. I would have loved to seen Renet as she is now, a full time mistress and more mature.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 02-08-2007, 09:02 PM

Michelangelo was my favorite as a kid. When I was a really young kid the party dude thing seemed really cool.

When I watched the Ninja Turtles movie again a few years ago for the first time since I was like nine years old Raphael became my new favorite. He was the most interesting Turtle in that movie because of his anger and having a hard time fitting in with the rest of the Turtles.

**Shredder** · 02-08-2007, 10:42 PM

As a kid, I always liked Michaelangelo and he's still my favorite of the Turtles. My favorite character overall, though, was always Shredder (no big surprise there, I guess). For some reason, once I got familiar with the show and who was who, I always thought the bad guys were generally more interesting than the Turtles (and that's still true now).

*Raph's Girl* · 02-08-2007, 11:16 PM

From 1987 - 1990 it was Don. I always ended up as Don when I played with my friends. But Raph slowly sneaked up on me and by 1997 he was my fave. I still have a crush on Don tho.

His cockiness and immaturity really kill him, add that to the fact that he's not really that funny. He is capable of being funny, but most of the times his jokes fall flat (don't even get me started on his "burnt fur" crack in the first ep of season 4...I thought that was horrible for him to say!).

I love comics, cartoons, and superheroes...but I don't act like a 2 year-old about my passions.

He does.

Quote:

Well, yeah. It would be crappy if CGI Mikey turns out to be a clone of 2003 Mikey...because he was nothing like that in the original 3 movies!

I found Mikey to be charming, cute, and funny in the original movies (still do to this day). Not once did he come across as annoying, childish, or stupid to me.

New toon Mikey consistantly comes across as annoying, childish, and stupid...so if the CGI movie Mikey turns out to be like that, then yes I'll be a little annoyed.

I'm just hoping that I'm misjudging everything, and that this CGI Mikey won't be that bad...it would be okay if he was a combo of the two versions of the character, that wouldn't really bother me I guess.

I can understand where you are coming from with his immaturtiy and cockiness killing his character a bit. If I was to be honest with my self I really don't like how cocky and immature Mikey is on occasion, it was inntically what turned me off to his at character first. But at the same time as I re-watch earlier episodes I think his cockiness is a sort of front for Mikey that he uses to make him out be tougher than what he actually is. It kind of adds an edge to his character. I don't think he is genuanly the jerk that he makes him self out to be. And to the immaturtiy and hyper-activeness I'm not so bothered by because its just apart of his personailty, but what I don't always like about his immaturity is how it is executed. I think the writters can have Mikey be young and teenager like with out going over the top like they sometimes do. Its almost like they try to make a stark contrast between Mikey's maturity level and the others just to show how diffrent he is and they over do it as a result.

And his humour I do agree is mostly cringe-worthy. I don't know if its poor writting or something, but it does seem like the writters like to make Mikey the object of laughter rather than what he is saying. And it gets annoying on how the other turtles react when he says something that is supposed to be funny.

Quote:

He does.

I don't think Mikey acts quite that extreme about his passions. Actually, most of his actions can be excused. But then I tend to dissect and psycho analise any of the turtles axctions. Mikey going so far as to creat an alter ego (turtle titan) and wanting to out and be a hero I always found of him trtying to break away from the whole team dynamic the turtles have and him shinning on his own with out having his thunder stolen from Leo, Don, or Raph, who mare more dilligent about the ninja bit. And I think him wanting to be a hero goes to show his innocent desire to naturally help people and make a diffrence. I think the reason he looks up to super heros and wants to emulate them is because of their white/black view of things and life style. They don't have "kill" to win a fight because they are powerful enough to win a battle with out useing deadly force if they don't have to. Its a much more simplictic and not as harsh way of life than what Mikey is probably used to. And I think Mikey envys that life since his life is so filled with harsher encounters with enemies and shades of grey.

And really, I think this aspect of Mikey is what I like, he has asperations to be good and help others but isn't old enough to do it with out turning to role playing. Of course that is mearly my impression of his habits and character. And this is the aspect of Mikey I wish they would play up more instead of the cocky one. Although the cocky aspect of his character serves for good growth episodes, like in Grudge Match. Easily one of fans most favorite Mikey centric episdoes.

It appears that you are not alone in sharing this opinion.

I think "stupid" is a bit strong, I think he is more impetuous than anything else since he usually acts before he thinks. I don't think NT Mikey is portryed stupid. He is more like the the type of character that every one thinks is stupid but is actually pretty smart when he feels like showing it. Its one of the mysteries about him that I can appriciat. Do you feel the same way about old toon Michaelangelo?

In 1990 when the turtles come out first I liked Mikey now I Love Raphael
It Is now Raphael forever

Mr. Arctic · 02-14-2007, 06:13 AM

when i was a kid, i liked mikey best-- just cuz he was goofy and funny and such.

for a while i liked donatello, but that didnt last long.

since about 5 years ago, when i really thought about it more, raph has been my fav. to me, his character is most complex and deep. plus he is pretty funny sometimes.

however, since seeing the movie, leo's been growing on me. i dont think hell ever replace raph though.

Posts: 54	when i was a kid, i liked mikey best-- just cuz he was goofy and funny and such. for a while i liked donatello, but that didnt last long. since about 5 years ago, when i really thought about it more, raph has been my fav. to me, his character is most complex and deep. plus he is pretty funny sometimes. however, since seeing the movie, leo's been growing on me. i dont think hell ever replace raph though.
