Though what do you mean he should have been more of the anti-hero? I thought and anti-hero was some one who did evil or bad things to do good. Is that what you meant? Quote:

Not the best place to argue from, my friend.

he was joke. Every Mike outside of Mirage and Image is a joke to some degree or another. it just too bad writers have made Mike their butt monkey bitch.
He is worth so much more than what he gets. Quote:

Aw come on people, 2k3 Mikey has had loads of good moments! Like, when Leo was hurt after the Shredder return, Mike told him that story of when they were kids, that was hilarious! It shows he cares for his bros, not himself.

I wasn't gonna touch on this but I have to say I've always been on the fence about how I feel towards 4Kids Mikey. Deep down he really is a good character but certain traits did bother me. I really didn't care for the moments where he would boast about how great a warrior he was then 2 seconds later be whimpering like a wuss because monsters gave him the willies. It made him too inconsistant.

To be honest I think we're being too hard on him. I don't like him as much as Mirage, original cartoon, or movie Mikey but he is still entertaining.
He did get worse in FF and BTTS though, which is odd because the other 3 Turtles remained almost the same. |

4Kids Mikey is the best (and throughout each page of this thread I have cited a ton of specific examples as to why I think so), so when will you all bow down to the Battle Nexus Champion?! Take a look at the poll results, the majority is way more in favor of 2k3 Mike than against. It just seems like some people listen more to the debbie-downers. Myself and TurtleTitan will never stop stop defending one of the best versions of Mikey to date! Last edited by Donnie; 07-22-2012 at 11:17 AM. |

If there is one episode that I liked with Mikey as the main turtle, it has to be where he first became the Turtle Titan. He didn't do it to get famous, he did because he said he wanted to help people more instead of hiding in the shadows. It shows he has a heart of a hero, the best kind of superpower.

I for the most part like 4Kids Mikey. He can at times be annoying, but in a way it's almost charming at the same time it's aggravating. I think at one point it's Raphael that says annoying people is Mike's "secret mutant power" and he actually did help the guys defeat quite a few enemies by distracting them so much his brothers were able to beat the snot out of them.
Do I tend to find myself rolling my eyes at him at points, yeah... but that's just Mike to me. I find I do that with pretty much every version of the character and that doesn't effect my affection for him.

I certainly don't think 4Kids Mikey is the worst; that honor goes to movie #3. He can certainly be annoying at times, but that has always been part of Mikey's, er, charm, I guess? But I don't mind it when he's annoying because it usually sets up some pretty hysterical one-liners for Raphael, like:
"Jesus, where's your OFF switch??" I like how he acts like a little kid, but at the same time can kick ass with the best of them. It's a fun dynamic. The only thing that kinda bothers about Mikey me are the frequent belching & fart jokes; just a little too lowbrow for my taste.

This is one of the more balanced responses about Mikey in 2k3.
I get the feeling that the character was written a lot more deeply that one may perceive from the surface. Mikey represented a certained childishness, yes, but it was more of a child, who wants to be happy. He and Don seemed as two turtles who had a vocation/hobby/interest other than just being crime fighters. Also, he seemed like the warrior who did not want to fight, but would fight when he had to. Case in point how he went against Kluh when it came down to his family. He knew he was annoying but to be fair he also knew how to use it to his advantage. Eg. how he wore down and defeated Raph without even taking out his Chucks. Maybe he was a bit distracted to be ninja. But of the four he seemed to be the least comfortable with the whole living in the shadows phenomena. He wanted a life. And something larger than life to look forward to. He was the dreamer in gang. If you notice he was the one who coaxed don to rig up the battle shell the first time. He was not an engineer but he was a dreamer. One has to look at him slightly deeper than just the surface antics. Quote:

That was one of the worst outbursts of the character.
Odd that the episode was written by Marty Isenberg who wrote many episodes in the first few seasons. |

Thanks.
I think the comment which offers the most insight into mikey is how he says to splinter at the battle nexus that it was great that they could fight in the open and have people love them for it. It revealed a lot for his desire to be accepted as a sentient being. Also its nice how he always connected great with other animals, be it klunk, or zog or zog the second. |
