What's your favorite Ninja Turtle pairing? - Page 2

I'd have to say Mikey and Raph.

I personally like the Don and Mike combo from the original movie. Don is my favorite turtle, and Mike is probably my least (because of the way he's portrayed in virtually every imagining- especially when I was a kid), but the way they were portrayed in that movie was really well done. I'd like to think Raph and Don would be a unique pairing too.

Thank You!!!! Mike and Don hands down and as I said b4 the first movie proves it.

If I ever were to write a movie adaption, i'd make damn sure we see a Raph/Don and Leo/Mikey pairing just cause we never get to see it.

And because of that... I'd probably say Leo/Don right now. They always work very well together.

I consider the first movie the greatest depiction of the turtles...and I know that pisses off some people who love the comic but not necessarily the FIRST movie (the first is the only legit movie in my opinion). *Most of us became fans because of the movie or the cartoon or both, there weren't many 5-8 year olds back in 1990 reading the original comics. (I do remember collecting and reading the Archie ones). Even to this date I think most fans of the comic would agree that the first movie is the best adaptation of their comic personas.

I love that first movie and I hold it in such high regards. If it wasn't for that movie, I don't think i'd be near as big a fan. That movie was eery to me as a child, and even as children we could still get that sense that this movie wasn't like any other movie for kids, meaning that dark undertone. We couldn't identify it at the time, but we knew it was odd. It might of made us feel uncomfortable but not scared like A Nightmare On Elm Street did. I think the turtles made me realize I didn't have to turn my head from something that wasn't like the rest, turn my head from something that made me feel different than watching a Disney animation.

They royally ****ed it when they decided to lighten-it-up for the sequel. They made it more like the cartoon, I know, and as a child I didn't see the differences as much, but now looking back it was a horrible thing to do I think and such a different movie than the first. Sure it made them some bank, which was the point, but it holds nothing to the original. I've heard MANY people say the second movie is their favorite, and I can't believe it. I think if you prefer the second (or dare I even mention that turd of a 3rd) over the first, me and you are completely different people. I know the second movie was responsible for getting A LOT of children on the turtles bandwagon back in the day, but most weren't the children that would become the fans we are today.

Dang teen angst.

bite your tongue! Leo+Raph angst and bickering is the life blood of the franchise!

I personally loved seeing Leo and Mike interact. When I was a kid, and to some degree now even, I always thought Leo treated Mikey the best when compared to Don and Raph, especially in the old series.

If the others were teasing him, it was rare for me to see Leo get really involved. In those episodes where Mikey took off somewhere or got lost or something, Leo was either the first to express concern that it was something to be concerned about or the last to give up looking. That's one thing I didn't like about the cartoons, they tended to stick with the stereotypical pairing most of the time: Leo-Raph, Don-Mikey.

As for them actually working as a team, I think they work pretty well together. Leo is a leader, Mikey's a follower. I think Mikey CAN lead if he has to but I think he hates doing it. So in this sense, Leo calling the shots works well.

Either Leo and Raph or Raph and Mikey.

Is this 'ninja turtle pairing' as in just the boys? or 'Ninja turtle pairing' in their universe... I think that the characters are so well defined and to some degree even cliche' However, if speaking of turtles only, Raph and Leo do present a nice contrast that works well, although somewhat played out. Raph and Casey is always fun to watch... but all time favorite has got to be Casey and April in the first movie. Classic banter between the two of them...

I'd like to see Splinter and Mikey throw some bones together though.

this is the exact reason that I like Leonardo and Michelangelo pairing so much, I've thought they complemented each other so well, and it's true what you have said here about Leo in the OT being much more considerate toward Michelangelo and I agree. I had noticed that too. I noticed that toward the end of the series mostly in season seven and red sky Leo and Mike where paired up more. Even though in the OT Michelangelo and Leonardo seemed very different in personality I believe they both shared the same ideals and had similar values. In one episode in Red Sky the turtles split up over a difference of opinion regarding a mutant sanctuary and Leonardo and Michelangelo took the same side against it; which I thought said alot.

I also enjoy the Leo Mikey pairing in the 2k3 series, Those two where just so awsome together. I so enjoyed their interaction. They got along surprisingly well together. I always felt that Leo loosened up more around Mikey and Mikey seemed to a better over-all individual with one on one time with Leo. My favorite Leo and Mikey episodes are Nobody and Grudge Match.
