What aspect of the franchise appeals to you most? - Page 2

Peanut · 05-08-2009, 12:58 PM

While the OT is what made me aware of their existence, as I've grown up, the Mirage comics are the reason I'm still a fan. Not to say I don't still love the OT as much, but the comics, and the possibility of them coming to life, keep me watching the franchise.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-08-2009, 02:37 PM

i go with the majority vote: The Original 90's TV Series

Doc_ock_4mugen · 05-08-2009, 03:39 PM

now that I think of it this poll should've had an "Other" option... for the toys and combinations of universes...

Ginny · 05-08-2009, 03:47 PM

The OT was certainly what got me hooked. It was because of the OT that I got into all of the other aspects of the franchise.

drasgow · 05-08-2009, 03:58 PM

i'm for the mirage comics. i also liked the image comics ok. the archie series was sort of hit or miss per issue for me.

*Scandia* · 05-08-2009, 04:08 PM

I voted for the 2k3 TV series, since IMHO it is the best.

However, what got me hooked on TMNT was the 1987 TV series.

I know this question is not exactly "favorite universe". So it was a tough vote.

BOOOO!!!

*ToTheNines* · 05-08-2009, 06:18 PM

I voted for the OT, but I don't think something like that can ever be re-created so it's not the direction I wan't TMNT heading in right now.

NinjaVanish · 05-08-2009, 10:33 PM

It was the 80's cartoon series that got me started, then the toys so them two will always be the bread and butter.

I'm actually just getting into the comics right now, but that was all thanks to this forum on where and what resources I can go to. So I guess you can say the technodrome forum (THE tmnt community) aspect of this franchise is also quite appealing to me too

I recently picked up Turtle Soup 1-4, fun stuff, and oddly a mix with Krang and some stories with multicolored bandannas. One even had Splinter calling Leonardo just Leo...really?

If there was an "Other" option, I would have voted for it, since the Konami games are my favorite version of the TMNT... plus you can't beat a dimension that has Krang, Karai, Tokka, and Rahzar all inhabiting it.

I think I remember one where they were eating pizza and calling each other "dude", as well. Weird stuff, considering this was from the Mirage universe.

**Jester** · 05-08-2009, 11:14 PM

Mirage...but not canon.

*Cipher* · 05-09-2009, 12:28 AM

While the original cartoon and toyline got me into the TMNT, and there's really no aspect of the series I don't enjoy in some tiny way, the Mirage/Image comics are far and above my favorite incarnation. Not just because they're "dark" and adult-oriented, but because they're better pieces of art and writing than any other Turtles product.

Hear, hear!

The original 80's cartoon turned me into a turtle fan. I love that series.
And I am one of those fans who love the original toon over the new ones.
That is still the best turtle toon ever imo.

He did that **** in Volume 1 aswell, I remember him calling them by the short names in April's appartment when the foot attacked during their Christmas celebration, and maybe the TCRI building too.

*Samhain* · 05-09-2009, 04:41 PM

the og mirage. love the comics!!!

*Prowler* · 05-11-2009, 07:14 PM

The OT and the OT based video games.

thebrownranger · 05-12-2009, 12:58 PM

I wish there was a separate section for just the first 1990 movie. This is probably one of the only things in the turtles franchise that appeals to me the most and it is probably the most greatest accomplishment in the turtles franchise to date.

Runner-up would definitely be the Mirage volume 1 comics.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 05-12-2009, 08:07 PM

Probably the Mirage comics. They are what caused me to be interested in the Turtles again after I read them on the official site.

I do like the different colored bandannas though. So maybe I like the first movie the most, since it had both original cartoon and comic book elements?
