Most Overrated TMNT Character?

*miru* · 07-10-2013, 12:09 PM

For me, it would be Tatsu. There's just nothing really special about him. Not that I hate Tatsu, however.

Hard to say. Maybe Savanti Romero? He's the only major Mirage villain I've never liked.

Mona Lisa. Not sure how a one-off character like her gets so much love.

same here I dont really have a hated character, but over-rated definately Romero

Not to knock the turtles but uhhhh I think Raphael is often overrated. In most versions he's pretty one-dimensional, a generic badass.

Furry culture. 9/10 people that like her or Ninjara only do because they have some sorta fantasy about them.

Regarding Raph, I kinda agree. That's why Fred Wolf Raph is my favorite followed by Nick and Movie Raphael.

I love Raphael more when he's not generically angry all the time. Dammit the original toon Raphael was a stroke of genius.

In a way, I'd have to say Shredder. I mean, I love the antics of old toon shredder, and Ch'rell was pretty badass in 2K3...but it's pretty funny that he's pretty much the de-facto villain for every incarnation, when he's only really in a handful of the comics.

Not anymore, he's a regular recurring villain in IDW.

True, but I meant the original Mirage stuff. I should have specified better though, I forgot about IDW there.

*Slade* · 07-10-2013, 03:52 PM

Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady.

*Donatello19* · 07-10-2013, 03:58 PM

Bebop and Rocksteady. I never liked them, and I don't understand why everyone sees them as such great characters, if you can even call them as such

Because they were written to be funny.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 07-10-2013, 04:48 PM

I'd have to say this incarnation of Shredder, I hear people who watch 2012 talk about him being a badass, but in my opinion, he's not worthy of being called a badass because of how Incompetent and Underdeveloped he is.

I liked Mona Lisa because not only was she a female mutant, which was a nice change, her personality was a mirror image of Raphael. I wish she came back so she could have been expanded on and also for continuity. I really hope they bring her back for Nick's version.

Angry Raph for sure...
I love the OT and Nick Raph soooo much, even IDW needs to reel in the reigns a bit on Angry Raph.

Like me, for example.

To be fair, Nick Raph is still 'Angry Raph' - it's just a lot more balanced out. He's like a cool mergure between the angry type and the sarcastic type.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-10-2013, 08:18 PM

Most over-rated? I vote for Krang. Even though I LOVE the dynamic between him and Shredder in OT, he always seemed kind of weak. For being a powerful warlord in Dimension X, and with all the tech he had, he certainly seemed helpless without Shredder around to do everything for him. He didn't even have hands! He was just a squishy brain-squid thing that needed Shredder to do all the work while he just came up with the (usually ineffective) plans.

*chrisdude* · 07-10-2013, 08:42 PM

I would love to see Bebop and Rocksteady reimagined in a more serious light, so they can be given some depth. I don't see why people love them so much, now. They're funny. Cool...

Honestly, while we're at it, someone should try to make Venus less lame.
