Favorite Turtle? - Page 3

Protoman · 02-13-2011, 05:45 PM

Growing up it was Mikey (like most people), but as time passed I found myself getting more Raph toys and liking how he was depicted in the first movie. I think it became official when playing Turtles in Time with my friends and I had to PICK ONE, I stuck with Raph, the rest is history.

Side note: Playing the original arcade game at the bowling alley back in the day, you had no choice, just whatever joystick was FREE.

My favorite is and will always be Leonardo. I love blue, swords, and I admit leadership. My least favorite Turtle was Michelangelo; I don't like immaturity.

*Sage Ninja* · 02-14-2011, 03:53 PM

I understand. Yeah, Michelangelo really underwent some serious derailement after awhile...it's sad really.

Sure you are

FearlessLeader · 02-14-2011, 10:16 PM

I have always been a fan of Leonardo in every version of franchise.

Even being a Leo fan I am a little surprised he's winning, pleased but surprised. Usually I get mocked by the causal fan for liking the "uncool" Turtle

*Sage Ninja* · 02-14-2011, 10:55 PM

nothing in uncool about leonardo.

You are not going to get any arguments from me, but you would be surprised the amount of people who find out I like Turtles. Then of course the first question they ask is, which Turtle is your favorite and I say Leonardo. Which usually leads to them calling him a name, me rolling my eyes at them and discontinuing our conversation.

Though I did threaten some stupid kid in an elevator at a convention once, because he said nasty things about all the Turtles. I was mostly joking at the time though.

*Scandia* · 02-15-2011, 07:44 AM

Leonardo!!!

Then Donatello.

Then Michelangelo.

And Raphael is dead last.

This goes for all TMNT universes.

Agreed!!!!!

Lynn · 02-16-2011, 07:41 AM

Leonardo is my favorite.

Sword Slicin' Leo · 02-16-2011, 09:48 AM

Much respect to the people who have the same favorite now,as they did when they were a kid...Nothing against the people who switched...people change...but definatly big ups to the people with more Turtle Loyalty LOL

*Turo602* · 02-16-2011, 10:04 AM

Growing up, my favorite was Mikey but as I grew older and understood the TMNT a lot more it became Leo and I was able to appreciate Donnie more. I like all of them but If I had to choose I go with Leonardo.

*go_ninja84* · 02-16-2011, 10:09 AM

mine was and always will be Leonardo hands down

*Redeemer* · 02-16-2011, 12:39 PM

Leo all the way, always been always will be Leo

*Fang Wolf* · 02-16-2011, 12:47 PM

My is Leonardo

Ulisa · 02-16-2011, 09:26 PM

When I first got into Ninja Turtles when I was a kid, Michelangelo was my favorite and now...well, he's still my favorite. In fact, I think in pretty much any version of Turtles, he's been my favorite though I definitely prefer some versions to others.

My all time favorite version of him is the 80s Cartoon. I find him the most lovable here, and I really like his relationships with all the characters in this version, especially with Leonardo. I also really like his relationship with Kala and with the fifth turtle Zak, though I know a great many people despise those characters. I liked his big-brother attitude towards Zak, especially since I always have considered him the youngest of the 4 turtles. I thought it was a neat touch to have him take on an elder-brother type of bond with Zak, although they didn't show it that much.

I also love him in the movies, especially the first and third movie. I always found him to be either the funny one or the most "human" one for lack of a better word.

In 2k3 I still like him best though, I really wish they had handled his character better. Yes, he tends to be the laid back, fun loving one but that doesn't mean that's ALL there is to his character. I think Season 5 on really did him a disservice in that area.

*Donnie* · 02-23-2011, 01:23 PM

I like 2k3 Mikey. I think, besides the over-the-top jokes (which were very much present in OT Mikey) he was done pretty well.

But that doesn't matter, because Donatello is the best of them all, in every adaption.
