True I mean I like Leo and part of me is glad he won (oops spolier) but they didn't respect any of Mikey's wins at all in that

[Shiro Kame]

Yeah, they even called him a pot head! That pissed me off that they were so judgemental about his hyperactive nature.

Relax, man. It's cool you like this Michelangelo so much, but you don't need to be so abrasive. Some like him, some don't. It's not buttpain and you don't need to spell it out for people; it's not gonna change their minds.

Also, everyone count how many of the above posts start with "yeah".

Lol sorry I'm so predictable

I don´t like 2k3 Mikey cause he is too........annoying.
He behaves like a six year old obsessive boy, who can´t let go of videogames and pizza.
And his "I am the pretty one" is just......argh!!!! It´s Raph not you!

I really enjoyed the episode in fast forward, when he gets his shell kicked off by the Ice Hockey robots.

I never thought this version of Mikey was either stupid or retarded, it's just that his ego is just so irritating... I really like Mikey as a character, but this one is just soo frustrating for me to watch. He just doesn't have any compassion for anyone, but himself (with the exception of his treatment with klunk, that was just adorable) but that was before he started becoming more selfish overtime. He always seems less concerned about his brothers, and more about insulting others, or playing video games. He was such a huge jerk.
I don't know why he keeps throwing all his one-liner insults at Raph, when he knows the dude as angry management problems. He is just too self-absorbed.. ughhh

I love seeing Mikey with Klunk. I always figured that Mikey enjoys needling Raph - he teases him because he knows he'll probably get a reaction, but they both really care about each other so it's ok.

I loved his relationship with Klunk too, but i felt the writers might have exaggerated some of his worst traits way too much in other parts of the show. Or maybe that's just me lol

I know he messes with raph just to get an reaction or for the purpose of being playful, but sometimes I think he goes a bit overboard.

Yeah, I find that to be quite funny.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

I am fine with 2k3 Mikey and enjoy him a lot.

Although, there is that one time where he faked Raphael out by pretending that 'He was Dying'...I thought that was a bit too much and Over the Line to do to Raph.

That joke is a reference to issue 4 when Mikey was injured during a fight against the foot, and Raph came to his aid. Both Mikey's are fine and both Rapahel's get very over protective.

I really loved Mikey when I watched the 2003 show. I, personally, thought he was funny, and he didn't get on my nerves. Don't really understand people's problem with him (but I probably will once I get around to reading through this thread!).

Nah a lot of it seems like buttpain to me. They say he's "annoying after winning the Battle Nexus" when he doesn't even do that for very long. When my brother and I resume our 2k3 rewatch I'll count the number of damn episodes he pulls that in since we stopped right before them anyway.

And you don't find the even more one-track-minded 87 Mikey annoying? This is inconsistent. He doesn't even talk about video games or pizza that often. In most episodes, I see him exhibiting attention-seeking behaviours through other means.

[Also, no, he is definitely the pretty one. :V]

He gets out of hand sometimes. That is one of those times. But I still laughed my ass off at it anyway.

I don't see any problems either. Most of the reasoning I have seen is an exaggeration of the actual truth, but given fandom's general tendency to flanderize characters I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised.

Well, the more that I think about it...at least it wasn't like the 2k12 Mikey who, while Raphael had a creature inside of his stomach that could have been causing extreme harm inside of him, made a joke by pretending to Have a Chainsaw and pretending that he was ready to Cut Raph's Stomach Open...and not only did Mikey think that was funny, but Leo and Donnie laughed too?

So your brother has a parasite that could be eating his insides (since they didn't know that for sure, at that time), so you pretend that you'll cut his stomach open with a Chainsaw...and even the other two laughed along with Mikey about that...

And people wonder why Raphael gets so angry at his brothers so often...

And this is coming from someone in which the 2k12 Mikey has grown on me.

[Machias Banshee]

I loved 2k3 Mikey - he was just too perfect in the earliest episodes of the show.... But like several people here, when he hit the battle nexus, he changed. He still had his great moments. But he got more and more one-dimensional in Fast forward and Btts... and I just didn't like him as much.
