Your fave incarnation of Raph?

Seurat · 11-17-2005, 04:41 PM

Inspired by the "Your favorite incarnation of Mikey" thread, I had to do this. I think Raph differs quite a bit in each incarnation. But which is your fave? Sarcastic, old-school-toon Raph? Angry movies Raph? Somewhere-between-the-two new-cartoon Raph? Black outfit Archie comics Raph? Feel free to share.

Old Toon....definatly OT....Rob Paulsen IS Raphael if you were to ask me...

11-17-2005, 04:57 PM

Easily the original series Raph for me. He's not a dick in the old series like he is in most incarnations. Old-school Raph is witty, charming, funny, and cool. He's by far the best Raph.

OT Raph

He was my IDOL

*Spitfire* · 11-17-2005, 05:50 PM

I love the new Raph. He has that harsh edge and knows how to really get under someones skin. He pisses off Leo all the time and brings out the best in him, in my opinion. He pushes Leo to push himself even further. And Raph is a big softie. I have a feeling out of all the turtles he would be the best with kids. As much as he says he hates kids you can tell he has a big soft spot for them. I also like his style of fighting. He just runs in pissed off and what ever gets in his way gets hammered. Unless the person is better then him, in which case he learns a lession.

The old toon all the TMNT acted the same to me. The all cracked jokes and they all talked the same almost. Each of them had one quality that seperated them from the other. Mikey was a surfer dude, Leo was a leader, Don made his inventions, and Raph was just kinda there, he mainly cracked jokes and played off how bad the situation was.

I like the Archie Raph with the Dark suit best, he was always about asserting his independence. Mirage-Raph a close second.

*Weapon X* · 11-17-2005, 09:36 PM

I've said it 100 times OT Raph, Ryona summed it up best, he was a smart ass, but he was really good at it, way funnier then Mike.

*Buslady* · 11-17-2005, 09:54 PM

Movie 1.
He's cute, got attitude, got too much depression going on, needs love and not to mention *fangirl mode warning* he's sexay!

*Coola Yagami* · 11-17-2005, 10:30 PM

Uhhh, it's hard to decide. Old toon Raph had great wisecracks... the new Raph has the bad-ass-ness he's supposed to have.. and Archie Raph is a mixture of the two as well as having that awesome all-black outfit.

*Sage Ninja* · 11-18-2005, 12:45 AM

Old toon Raphael all the way, for all the reasons that Ryona mentioned. I loved him to bits and he is a unique representation of the firery ninja turtle and I loved it!! Screw Mirage cannon so what what if it wasn't anything like your version of him! He still kicked ass

New toon Raphael is a close second, he is actually growing on me and I feel less and less like ninja kicking him in the nuts with each passing episode

(thank Touch and Go for that and showing his sweet side)

Blondus · 11-18-2005, 02:44 AM

Old toon. Though it is hard to choose.

I grew up with the old toons. The turtles from the old toons were my heroes. ...They still are, I guess. Especially Raph...

Old toon Raph all the way!

*Sewer Bull* · 11-18-2005, 03:47 AM

Old-school... When I was a kid, I wanted to be as witty and funny as him. I loved his quick ripostes.

I daresay all my current wit and charm and the fact I am able to wisely talk back to people came from my strive for being Raphish. Because I haven't always been like that

Thank you OS Raph. You are my hero.

hazlov2004 · 11-18-2005, 06:47 AM

new toon raph

MyNameSlash · 11-18-2005, 11:59 AM

I like him in the movies. Sure he's stubborn and sometimes a jerk, but I think his character development throughout the three movies is most entertaining/interesting.

*Sewer Bull* · 11-18-2005, 12:09 PM

Of course we can't forget about THAT incarnation:

BTW - I wonder if we are going to have further threads like "Your favourite incarnation of Leo/Don/Splinter/Shredder/April/Casey/Ratking/etc."

Fun will never cease.

*Sewer Bull* · 11-18-2005, 12:39 PM

Exactly. That's anime version produced in 1996.
