Who had the best character development? - Page 2

*Candy Kappa* · 01-13-2011, 07:35 AM

Leo, Baxter and Nano

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Nano, though he never interested me much.

Definitely Leo, but none of his character development stuck. Then again...no one's did...

I'm gonna give Nano another 'vote'. He seemed to have the most.. even more so than some of the major characters.

Nano, Leonardo Baxter Stockman

He was a strong character, he was the 2nd best. Lets neglect FF and BTTS, i don't consider those canon even though they are. Mikey had the best fight moves out of everyone in the series.

Case and point for Mikey's non-character development: Turtle Titan.

In the first apperence, Mikey's all about being a superhero, and even aided the Silver Sentry to stop Dr. Malignus, but at the end of the episode he had learned that he as a ninja turtle can do just as much good from the shadows as Sentry does in the light. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!

I may be missing an apperence, but the next time I remember Turtle Titan showing up in a major way was Recruitment Drive in season 5. There Mikey takes up the mantle again because the Justice Force is looking for members. Not a terrible resurgence of the character. I could see Mikey donning the cowl to become a member of the super team, and keeping Michelangelo as a psudeo-secret identity. Goofy, but not bad.

The next 2 apperences of the TT totally derail any attempt to take Mikey's alter ego seriously. In Clash of theTurtle Titans, Mikey is a jealous jerk when he finds that someone (Silver Sentry's non-super powered grandson) has taken up the mantle and is a beloved superhero in the future, and works against him for most of the episode. The next entry is even worse, but probably only because it involves my favorite Turtle, Raphael. In Super Power Strugle, Raph and Mikey fight over the powers of the Green Mantle. This episode is one of the worst of the 4kids run on TMNT, in my opinion. CHARACTER UN-DEVELOPMENT.

Poor Mikey, never had a chance.

I think The 2K3 version of Mike was Bad. There were some moments when I liked him. Wish he could have been more mature

I Dont agree. I dont think Mikey was the best fight in the series. I dont even think he was the best fighter among the turtles.

Bishop I think was the best fight.

Leo was the most well rounded of the turtles.

Anyone who thinks Mikey was "the best fighter of the four" is delusional. I admit he was no slouch but come on now?

I think Hun, Baxter, and to a lesser extent Chaplin had the most development as far as baddies go.

I think Casey jones get over looked too much, I think he had development and it really showed in BTTS. His was just more subtle than the rest. As for turtles Leo all the way.

I would have to go with Leo. Though some of his traumatized episodes were hard to watch. But they showed his disintegration and his healing well. It is time that a children's cartoon dealt with PTSD.

April was developed rather well also.
