Favorite version of the Turtles?

Krangfan · 04-05-2003, 08:44 PM

Or if you prefer "favorite Turtle continuity". Bear with me as I haven't read the original comics so I don't quite know what I'm talking about in terms of comics. Mine would be the original cartoon. It seemed to have the most original ideas (Bebop and Rocksteady, Krang, Shredder being less threatening, the Turtles' love for pizza, Baxter Stockman turning into a fly, April being the Channel 6 reporter, Channel 6, the Technodrome, the Rock Soldiers, Dimension X, the Neutrinoes, Splinter being Hamato Yoshi and not his pet, the Foot Soldiers being robots, and more). Even though it was a kids cartoon, it was awesome.

I voted for the mirage comics
but the movie version was tempting
but those 2 seem the same........in a way.

Well, I first was introduced to the turtles, like many, by the old cartoon. But I've grown since, and appreciate the more mature Mirage/first movie versions more. I think, in time, the new cartoon may become my favorite, as I absolutely love it so far, and if it keeps up the way it has been, it may be the best synthesis of the Mirage universe and old cartoon. Will it become the definitive TMNT? Who knows, but it's a possibility--and so is my liking of it the best.

Well I guess I'm kind of biased since I haven't read the comics or seen the new cartoon so I'll have to go with the original cartoon.
I wonder how many votes The Next Mutation will get....

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-05-2003, 09:55 PM

New cartoon! I love it, it's awesome, I can't think of enough good things to say about it.

*Anarchistguy* · 04-05-2003, 10:04 PM

As for me, it's a tie between Mirage comics, TMNT movie #1 and the new cartoon.

I agree, actually. I was introduced to Ninja Turtles through the first movie and moved onto the Mirage comics from there, so I tend to prefer that sort of version. The new cartoon is ringing my chime for much that reason, although I'd probably enjoy it even without that background. Don't get me wrong, I watched and loved the old cartoon and read the Archie comics, but My favorites by far are the three Anarchistguy listed.

i voted mirage, but this new toon is damn close, w/ the movie a close third

to let ya know, the new mirage is the same as old mirage, there was just that gap for a few years between the vol2 and vol 4..

what is considered vol 3 is it image or archie? i always wondered this cuz vol4 is really the 5th vol

Dontebell · 04-05-2003, 11:46 PM

i like the new toons,and nobody voted for the next mutation

what the hell how can you be in this forum and not have seen the new show.

**Karpo_007** · 04-06-2003, 05:29 AM

Original Mirage.

Supermik · 04-06-2003, 07:26 AM

I vote for the old cartoon, expecially for the 1989 - 1990 Season

Donatello the turtle · 04-06-2003, 09:15 AM

original cartoon
they looked nicer

Sparvid · 04-06-2003, 09:59 AM

Mirage.

The movie and new cartoon really attempts to get close, and manages to be entertaining in their own ways, but the original Mirage is always one step ahead...

*Jephael* · 04-06-2003, 10:04 AM

I picked the Archie TMNT comics because I always loved those stories. The series was able to keep the humor of the original cartoon but throw in some of the more serious feel of Mirage.

Shellfox · 04-06-2003, 03:21 PM

Gotta go with archie, I love Ninjara, the future TMNT, Null, and they had the coolest ways to kill people.
I have yet to see a death as cool as seeing a giant cockroach turned into a crystal, then explode in the hands of a nnews jornalist. And I love the way they present so many diffrent religions

*Deathknight* · 04-06-2003, 06:12 PM

You should add Original toon (1987-1993) and (1994-1996) because they were pretty different.

*Nickokapo* · 04-06-2003, 06:22 PM

True their personality changed between those seasons.
I think i'll go with the old toon

but i like almost all the tmnt versions.

Krangfan · 04-06-2003, 07:20 PM

wait, their personalites changed later on?! Did Mikey still like pizza?!

*That Matt Guy* · 04-06-2003, 09:34 PM

I can't believe you left off COOTS!

So it's original toon for me.
