Who is your least favorite Ninja Turtle and why? VOTE - Page 2

Raph he always had a hard time takin' ordas' for basiclly no reason other than he was angry about everything

*Sage Ninja* · 07-19-2010, 11:07 PM

over all I gotta go with Raphael. Though it varies from medium to medium. In the Old toon I enjoyed his sarcastice wit and he really brought something to the table show wise, so I can't say I actually disliked him in the old toon. He was just not my favorite. (Though I didn't like how he constantly ripped on Michelanbgelo in the OT)

But I really not into the tough ass angsty versions of him mostly because that personality type gets on my nerves and I'm equally annoyed on how glorified that personality type is in the media. Basically any version of Raph that doesn't steal the spot light with with angsty crap to the point where the other turtles fall into the back ground I like. Plus some of his fans can get a little too in your face over the littlest slight over him. Which doesn't help.

However as far as the 2k3 toon goes, Mike was easily my least favorite. He's traditionally my favorite turtle and I'm just disapointed on how he was written in that show. Wasn't too thrilled with his personality in the CGI movie either.

In that case, I retract my vote. Mikey is my least favorite. As far as the mirage comics go, I have no qualms with the guy. He's mild mannered, likes to chill with his cat, do some writing & play with shadow. Its his bastardized personality in the 2003 toon & 4th movie that I don't care for. I don't mind the OT version at all but 2k3/TMNT... UGH.

I really get sick of Raph sometimes, too. He's just so over the top. I know there are plenty of people like that in real life but most of the time they just take it too far.

Say what you will, but I didn't vote any because I honestly like all the Turtles. Sure, I prefer certain incarnations over others, but there's not really one I dislike enough to say "Okay, I'm not fond of X because of Y."

:/

LOL, Ironic because you just got on me for not reading the documentary thread before posting.

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 07-20-2010, 12:28 AM

I chose Leonardo because early on in the 80s series, he wasn't funny--he stuck to his duty of being the leader. It wasn't until a few episodes that he finally got humorous and told some jokes.

Well, there is a difference between dyslexia and putting forth no effort to find the answer to a question before posting it.

*Guitar_Raph* · 07-20-2010, 05:17 AM

I have to vote for Don because of the science.

Leo's cool, Mikey's awesome & Raph's the rebel.

Im 100 % agree with you ... Same here! :

Dyslexia sucks doesn't ! Lol.
Why is everyone hating on Leo? I am also shock by all the Mikey haters. I would figure Don would be least favorite.

*Sage Ninja* · 07-20-2010, 10:00 AM

and why is that? Donatello kicks ass. He's an unassuming dude who keeps to him self and doesn't bother anyone and can make crap out of anything. Instant Win.

I am surprised by all the Leonardo hate though. Oh well.

Oniri · 07-20-2010, 01:50 PM

I'm kinda surprise by the Leo and Mikey hate too. I thought I was alone with Leo (though I still love him for other reasons). I think basically everyone's explanation for the dislike of one turtle is "too much". I think depending on the medium and series, at least one or two of the turtles' personalities were on overload.

Leo can sometimes be written to be too much of straight arrow and end up either boring or hard to connect with.

Mikey can be written to be too much of clown and a doofus to the point that it gets annoying.

Raph can be written to be way to anger if not a good amount of psycho.

And Don...well...

I think the reason why there isn't as much dislike for Don is because there are few mediums in which he is over the top. Don's personality is kinda hard to go overboard with because part of his personality is chilling out in the background till he is needed (sorta shyish) and being the reasonable one.

*Cure* · 07-20-2010, 02:14 PM

I voted for Raph. Kind of a dick.

*Samhain* · 07-20-2010, 02:48 PM

I would say for me its Raphael. He just annoys me with his attitude.

Charlotte_Sometimes · 07-20-2010, 04:21 PM

I like them all, but I don't like that Raphael is a jerk in most TMNT universes, so I chose him as least favorite for that reason.
Though I do love him in the classic 80s series. One of the few versions of Raph where he's actually cute and charming and not mean.

Gyt Kaliba · 07-20-2010, 05:24 PM

For me I'd have to say Leonardo. Mikey's the humor guy, and I always love the humor guy (even though they take it way too far...), Donnie has his own brand of humor that's pretty good, and Raph, while angry, is just too bad-A for me not to like.

So yeah, Leo, if for no other reason than ruling the others out.

ooglafina · 07-20-2010, 07:09 PM

I had to hate on Leo too because I've always found him to be the least three dimensional. He's too perfect.

Teddy · 07-20-2010, 08:35 PM

Yeah, I'm gonna hafta go with Leo. He just comes off as a self-righteous prick with no real personality to me. *shrugs*

*Scandia* · 07-20-2010, 08:49 PM

My least favorite Turtle is Raphael. And that goes for every single universe- albeit he is somewhat more tolerable in the OT and Archie.

I dislike sarcasm in general. It has its time and place. A lot of the time I do not even get it. It has an element of contempt. Raphael overdoes the sarcasm way too much.

And why is he so angry? His other 3 brothers do not seem to be anywhere near as angry. While Splinter did not treat all 4 of them exactly the same, I am pretty sure he treated all of them fairly. It's not like Splinter picks on Raphael- he reprimands Michelangelo just as much, if not more in some of the universes.

Raphael thinks he is such a badass- when the truth is he has a lot of fears. Raphael tries to boss others around futilely. Raphael is very impulsive- while at the same time he has a major stick up his rectal cavity. He is out to pop the bubbles of the other 3 Turtles- without offering better alternatives.

Overall, I dislike Raphael because he is so pessimistic. I do not deal well with negative people- or Turtles.
