Which was the greatest incarnation of Michelangelo?

trexmaster · 10-21-2005, 10:00 PM

(I carried this over from the temporary forum)

Be sure to explain your preference.

I'm going with old-toon Mikey, he's cuter and from what clips I could find showing him, his voice was less annoying than in the new toon.

oh god I 'm glad this was brought back up, I just wuish my posts from that thread could have been carried over

I was quite proud of them and I put allot of thought in to it. I wish now that I could remeber what I wrote. As of now i only vaguely recall them...

I just hope this thread doesn't die

As promiced though I will get into new toon Mike

So far the "old toon" version is winning, with Mirage following. But so far only four people have voted.

*zkarlette* · 10-22-2005, 08:53 PM

Its really hard to say he has always been my favorite on all versions but I think Ill probably go with old toon cause he was the one that started my fandom for the TMNT and I really like his voice , way better than the new toon voice

Vincent · 10-23-2005, 08:13 AM

New toon. Because he has much more personality than any of the previous versions. And I love Wayne's take on Mikey's voice.

LUCKFF · 10-24-2005, 12:00 AM

I Wish I Could Vote For Both The Movie And New Toon Micky. I Think They Are Indentical. But Since Ive Seen So Much More Of The New Toon Mike I'd Have To Go With Him. All I Have To Say Is "battle Nexus" And "touch And Go"

Mandi-chan · 10-24-2005, 03:23 AM

As much as I love new toon Mikey, I'm going to have to go with movie Mikey instead.

I don't always like the way the writers of the new toon write my favorite turtle, they've gotten into this horrible habit of writing him as an overly annoying goof-off. He didn't start off that way, but since season 2 they've lost their touch with him, I'm hoping that after "Grudge Match" they'll wise up with his character!

original is still the best!

Mirage. New toon would be second.

hazlov2004 · 10-24-2005, 02:59 PM

That would be my preference, too. Both aren't too far apart, either.

*cowabunga14* · 10-24-2005, 04:31 PM

This is kinda hard for me to vote since I like Mikey the most. I guess I'll go with the Mirage one. His nunchkus looked the best in the Mirage comics IMHO.

*Weapon X* · 10-24-2005, 07:01 PM

Mirage because he was great in it, he was cool and funny, but not to the point where it was forced, in fact it was no where near that, and he fought, really well.

I'd pick Movie 1 Mikey after that, mostly for the same reasons, but Mirage is definitely my favorite.

*Masked Ninja* · 10-24-2005, 09:32 PM

I really wish I could get my hands on some Mirage comics, so I can see the guys as they originally were! I can imagine Mikey being the best there.

Shreddette · 10-24-2005, 11:55 PM

I'd have to say Old Toon Mikey.

He may have been all about pizza and "Cowabunga Duuuudes" but he wasn't as annoying as the movie mikey's. He had a more tolerable voice in the old toon and he's way cute in the old toon, makes me laugh. I don't laugh at any of the others jokes.

*heretic888* · 10-25-2005, 06:20 PM

Mirage Michelangelo.

Very simply, he's the character with the most depth, flavor, and, well, character.

The media versions are, in my opinion, thinly-veiled stereotypes and cliches. Michelangelo in Mirage was never the comic relief gag character. The Archie character was quite a bit better, especially near the end of the series, but still not up to par with the Mirage version.

Not to mention, Mirage is the original!

Laterz.

*Jephael* · 10-26-2005, 07:16 AM

I'm going with the Archie comics Mike since he was very level-headed in that series while still maintaining the fun-loving surfer dude personality from the original cartoon.

*Sewer Bull* · 10-26-2005, 12:15 PM

The greatest one?

Of course this one:

Yeah. Mikey's anime version truly kicks ass.

*heretic888* · 10-26-2005, 06:26 PM

Hah!

Technically, the TMNT had three anime versions --- normal, super mutant, and metal mutant!! The version above is just Mikey's metal mutant form.

Heh. Laterz.

Yep. But that one is the coolest

Super Mutant Mikey is just... errr... not that cool
