when was Raphael ever a yes man to Leo? He wasn't like that even in the classic toon.

I prefer the 2003 Raph to the 1988 one. I like the angry side of his personality and I think it sets him apart from his brothers in a positive way. Hopefully they continue that in the series.

More sarcastic wit, less angst please.

*Sage Ninja* · 05-28-2011, 10:43 PM

as long as they don't make him a bully I'll be happy.

In the OT, I think he was. He never had any aspirations to lead (Take me to your leader ep showed that), and rarely questioned Leo on anything or any of his decisions, 'cept for probably Leonoardo Lighten's Up (or whatever the name of the ep was). I don't think he particularly cared, just like the other two whenever it came to Leo's orders.

*Sage Ninja* · 06-01-2011, 01:29 AM

just because he didn't care about the decsions made in the team doesn't mean he was a yes man, and he never passed up an oppertunity to call Leonardo out when something went wrong or quip as his expence. When I think of a yes man I think of an ass kisser which OT Raphael certainly was not.

Krys · 06-01-2011, 02:08 AM

When I think of a yes man I think of the Jim Carrey movie.
I agree that Raphael was less confrontational in the OT series, but that was because he was more sarcastic than hot-headed. But he did offer the sarcastic retort towards Leo now and then, and he was usually reluctant to follow his plans and never passed up the chance to gloat whenever Leo's plans backfired....so I don't think that sums up a yes man.

So yea basically what Sage said XD

Raphael in the Old Toon and Chandler Bing from "Friends" are the same character.

I guess that explains why Chandler is my favorite Friend....

I have always loved Joey and Phoebe the best.

Wasn't Raph's personality already explained for this show?

Come on, BL. I figured you to be one to give it a chance at least, before discounting it completely.

ChetTurtle · 06-16-2011, 01:46 AM

i think Raph has been sarcastic in every incarnation except for maybe Comics (mirage and others I haven't read), with varying degrees of anger (except for OT). I think it's more about ratios than which particular traits.

P.S.I actually think a great way to go would be Danny from Hawaii Five-0 (the new one) with a little more anger (he gets pretty fired up though sometimes).

Raph actually has a bit of a temper in the OT.

"Shut up and push" "OUTTA MY FACE JERK" and other somewhat uncommon moments are good examples of that.

And let's not forget my personal favorite:
"You'd better or else I'm gonna get sarcastic."

*ssjup81* · 06-16-2011, 12:58 PM

One of my fav OT Raph moments was in the ep Combat Land.

Nerd: You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?
Raph: No, but then those aren't glasses. They're magnifying lenses. *Punches*

Here's another from The Bigg Zipp Attack.

Leo: Guys, do you hear something?
Raph: No, but as soon as I finish cleaning up this mess, Donatello's gonna hear plenty.

He was annoyed because he had to clean and how it was Donatello's fault. No one else was upset or complaining over it.

Hm, Star Child ep has another Raph moment I liked. A Raph line to show he has kind of an I don't care attitude, you annoy me and I'm going to let you know it, consequences be darned!

Star Child: You tricked me! Everybody hates me!
Mikey: No little dude, honest!
Raph: (Raising his hand) Wh-whoa, wait, hold on. I-I hate him.

It's all throughout the OT series that compared to the other three, he's the most short-patient of them. Seems he throws his Sai in anger and annoyance a lot too, but could be my imagination as far as the OT series go. In Mr. Nice Guy, he's referred to having a nasty personality by the other three. He's short-patient and quick to get annoyed and when he stops being nice, he gets mad at the doctor. Oh, can we not forget this scene that I made a clip of a few months ago...

Yeah, OT Raph did have temper issues, just not to the extent that he was for the other mediums he was portrayed in. That clip and some of the other stuff mentioned above is why I loved Raph so much for the OT series as a kid. lol

Of course Raph has a soft side, and we do see it from time to time. But I think that's what makes it extra special for Raph, is that we don't see that side of him often. One of my favorite moments with him, is when he helps Leo make new swords after Leo's near walk with death thanks to the Shredder.
