(That will ALWAYS be Mikey for me- except for the Nick one- that's Donny, oddly enough.) Possibly he is my second fave in that version, even over Mikey. I like that he's less uptight and more laid-back in that version than in most others, although for me, Leo will always be more like his movie version at his most balanced- I like him best in TMNT III, where he still knew how to cut loose at times, but was just as much a teen as the others.

Agreed; I've always enjoyed Leo but I really love NickLeo showing me a side of the character that I haven't seen before - letting his hair down (so to speak).

Really? I've heard some people say Nick's version is more bossy than the 2003 Leo, I'm like what???

Wonder how Nick's version will act after getting beaten so badly by Shredder in the up coming episodes? 2003 Leo kind of went a bit to the dark side, think same thing could happen?

*Shark_Blade* · 06-02-2014, 05:47 PM

Nah, I think he'll be like movie Leo.

Bruised and wounded, but he'll recover and finds peace trough meditation and kicked ass again.

Yeah, I've heard that too - I don't see it myself, but I guess we all perceive things differently!

*IndigoErth* · 06-10-2014, 02:23 PM

Bossy... Nah. I could see how kids who have a different favorite might feel that way when not considering - or not being able to fully consider - that it's expected of him to take on and figure out this role as being a leader. And an inexperienced kid isn't going to be able to pull of leadership quite as well as an adult.

If it was me at that age expected to be leader over three siblings who were basically fraternal twins of mine, equal peers... that's gonna be hard.

As for boringness... Well, Leo isn't boring at all if you connect with that sort of character and get him.

My fave since I was a kid and finding I adore him again as an adult I'm glad to find that my like of him as a youngster wasn't just about the blue.

Also, side note, bit of a WoW player... the Blood Elf guys are also a fave in terms of male characters made of pixels. Was kinda floored a little the day I realized that my Blood Elf's voice was by the SAME guy who originally voiced Leo. I mean, that's just... wait a minute. lol

I think Cam Clarke also voices Medivh, and a few other characters as well if I'm not mistaken.

Yah, I don't find Nick's Leo bossy at all either. If any thing I find him more easy going than the other Leo's, I mean the other turtles don't a always listen to him no matter how much be try's sadly

I don't know how any one can find him boring, every series I find him bad ass and just awesome!

He's been my favorite since the 80s series myself, still is to this day

Edit;

I don't know, new summaries for the Leo beat down episode sounds harsh, hope Nick doesn't just brush it off and act like it never happened like some times does. Sounds pretty bad for him, I always thought the 2003 series did that arc Justice.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-13-2014, 08:06 AM

Yeah, I hope they don't ignore it either, but I remember Ciro saying in an interview that there was going to be a story arc for Leo, and that's the one we're seeing now. I don't think they will ignore something like that, and I do hope he carries scars from it in some way. It would be hard not to, but we'll see what happens.

*pennydreadful* · 06-13-2014, 05:35 PM

That would be great to see - I'm confident that Ciro will do it justice. I imagine that Leo will take a while to bounce back from it; hopefully we'll see some moments between him and Splinter where he tries to overcome his fears etc.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-14-2014, 08:58 AM

Yeah, I have faith in Ciro and the writing team, and since that's Ciro's favorite arc, I'm sure he'll really bring it out and do it justice as it should be done.

Leofan26 · 06-15-2014, 11:52 AM

It'd be intresting if Leo was afraid to fight after being beaten like that.

Yah, I could see Leo having an character arc, trying to get back on his feet after that. If this is his favorite arc, hopefully they'll do just as good as job as the 2003 series did.

*Shark_Blade* · 06-15-2014, 05:28 PM

I doubt it.

People were saying Leo might develop a fear of height after the event in Booyakashowdown, but eh nothing of the sort happened.

And it won't happen this time too I reckon. Great cause I like him that way, nothing trivial as fear of fighting.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-16-2014, 07:44 AM

I think it would be more attuned to fear of failure more than fear of fighting. In "Fungus Humongous" his fear was about losing his team, but in this case, it would be the fear of defeat and letting everyone down, and I'd like to see something like that. We'll see how they take it though.
