What turtles have the best relationships?

This is probably a weird topic but based on the cartoon, what turtles to do you think have the best relationships with each other?

I think Donatello and Leonardo have the best of any two turtles with each other. Don is probably Mike's best friend and Leo is Raphael's best friend. Any thoughts? LOL!!!

i'd have to agree, the two "sane" ones that they are have the best friendship, although none of them don't get on with each each other, so you could say they all bond fairly.

Oooh, this is a good one. You could make valid arguments for any two-Turtle combination.

If this question were about the movies, yes, I'd have to say that Michaelangelo and Donatello have the best relationship. But for the cartoon, this one is too close to call.

Every time I think of a winning combo, another one pops into my head that seems just as good, if not better.

Donatello-Leonardo?
Michaelangelo-Raphael?
Donatello-Michaelangelo?
Leonardo-Raphael?
Donatello-Raphael?
Leonardo-Michaelangelo?

AAARRRGGGHHH! This isn't a fair question.

Hard question really, The plots aren't that deep so that you could make an opinnion. Depends on the writer I guess.

yeah, it was hard to answer that one because there wasn't really an episode were the turtles had a major fall out and aftermath analysis after it or anything.

They all are fairly Nice to eachother, except when ralph gets his temper to hott, But TMNTmz87 is right about don and mike in the movie's. They have to be nice to eachother becuase missing one turtle tears the whole thing up.

they are ALL best friends!!!! they fight sometimes but they're a team and deep down they all have great relations!

yea i love the relationship between Don and Mikey in the movies..especially the second one they seem so close and funny.
i think that although Raphael and Leonardo fight alot, its cool to see them as best friends because they are so similar

ahem

in the 'true tmnt', the mirage comics that is, the only turtles ever described as 'best friends' are Mike and Raph. none of the others seem to have anything else like that.

What do you mean the Mirage comics represent the "true TMNT"? Sure, the comics came along first, but it wasn't until the cartoon came along that the Turtles became a worldwide hit.

I would say the cartoon was the "true TMNT," if only for the fact that it was most responsible for the Turtles' success.

Are the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man the true Spidey, since much more people around the world saw the move than read the comics?

Perhaps it would be better to say "original TMNT" when referring to Mirage. After all, truth is relative.

It is original and it is the only True TMNT universe. The cartoon was produced by playmates to sell toys. Mirage comics on the other hand can be considered as a form of art. It has well written plot line and real characters. Of course not all issues are so good but most are.

Yeah it was the cartoon which made the TMNT pokemon of it's time, but that can't be really considered a good thing. Because of that, majority of people think that TMNT was only a childrens cartoon and toy line. No matter if it made more money than the comics, in real art it isn't about wich had the highest sells.

You can like cartoon better if you want, still Mirage is the True form of TMNT. The cartoon just kiddiefied the concept to fit saturday morning. And believe it or not, the cartoon was made for selling toys.

Can we not get into the whole True univers argument, everyone has diffent opioins and we should respect them, Mirage has both good and bad points and some need to except that other people like other versions.

That being said I've always seen Raph and Don as rather close. In the archie series their future versions seemed rather close (Ok they were the only one around at the point they were introduced but after word they were the ones we always saw together.) For the most in the serise as a whole they seemed to work best together just diffenet enogh to be perfect together. And we see this again in Next Mutation, a lot of the later eps seem to focus on Raph and Don as a team

The truth is that Mirage is the Original and the True TMNT universe. Of course everyone can have their own opinnions. If you like cartoon better im fine with it.
