You just ruined everything.

Hey now, everyone's entitled to their opinions.

It was a joke...

If you believe time-travel is possible, I'd say Cody's makes the most sense.

Oh, cool. Thanks, little Pliggy. ^_^ *gives you some roast beef*

*Sage Ninja* · 09-08-2011, 10:13 PM

none of them. I always hated the teen/kid side kick ploy.

Keno was alright but I couldn't get past the fact he was the arrogant little boy king from Red Sonja that I wanted to punch. As far as kid side kicks go he is probably one of the least annoying.

Angel...I barely remember anything about her...

Zack, I hated as a kid but he's not too bad. I just don't like how he had to drag his brother and stupid girlfriend into everything. Mostly I disliked how he is supposed to be 13 and he looks like a eight year old.

Carter I didn't like him because he replaced April & screwed up the dynamics of the turtles. But as a character over-all he was pretty decent and I liked that they made him a respectable character with ambitions instead of some urban punk kid with no respect. However I never saw him as a side kick much less a "kid" side kick. He was more or less the same age as the turtles and acted as more of a co-equal with them than a side kick. I was glad to see him go back to college though.

Cody, meh...

*BubblyShell22* · 09-09-2011, 12:55 PM

I really liked Keno in movie two, so I voted for him. I did like Angel though and thought she was very interesting since we knew so little about her such as why she's with her grandma and why her brother isn't really around that much for her. I never really liked Zack or Cody. Carter I barely remember.

And I thought Zack had a sister named Kaitlyn or was she just a good friend? I can't remember too well.

cryan · 09-09-2011, 03:04 PM

I think Kaitlyn was just a friend of Zach's.He only had an older brother named Walt.

*gobo* · 09-09-2011, 03:19 PM

Sage was exaggerating, I'm sure. In "The Great Boldini", Turtelli said something to the effect of 'come out with the diamond, kid. I got your girlfriend' to which Zach said "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!". Since Zach & Kaitlyn are the names of writer Francis Moss's children, I'm guessing that might be why they made that reference.

Also, I don't recall seeing Walt in an ep outside of Season 3. Does anyone else?

*Jephael* · 09-09-2011, 06:17 PM

Walt had a cameo in the episode with Wingnut and Screwloose.

Keno, because he's a Surf Ninja.

**Jester** · 09-09-2011, 10:32 PM

I was gonna ask if I'd get flack for picking Keno...but he's the winner ATM so I guess not. He wasn't really a side kick though, I'd say everything that's said about Carter being a near equal could also be attributed to Keno. The only difference is he's not as experienced as the guys. He's helpful in getting supplies for the anti-mutagen and in the (albeit failed) attempt to infiltrate the Foot Clan, and of course pizza.

*CyberCubed* · 09-10-2011, 12:54 AM

I didn't mind Keno but I really wish Casey Jones was in movie 2 instead of him.

Let's face it, the part where Raph/Keno go to the Foot Clan undercover just "screamed" Casey.

Yeah, because none of the Foot would recognize Casey...come on.

Most of these Foot were new recruits.

That brings up another point...Casey would have been to old to be a new Foot recruit. And those doing the recruiting would recognize him. This may have been a change made to accommodate Keno, but it makes sense.

*ToTheNines* · 09-10-2011, 07:10 PM

Carter was actually a pretty cool character, aside from his abrupt inclusion into the group. I just hate how he was constantly with the turtles every single episode. Not even Casey, April or Splinter was attached at the hip to the guys that much in any show/comic.
