List your favorite incarnation characters
Since there are so many incarnations to the turtles, I was curious to see what other fans felt were their favorites. I'm sure this has been done before, but since I haven't seen or read everything, I'm hoping to find something new I maybe missed. You can include any incarnation, comics, movies, shows, even something off the beaten path. Here are mine...
Raphael (Who am I kidding, I love all the Raph incarnations) 4kids Leonardo Nick and 2007 tie Donatello 2014 movie Mikey 90 movie Splinter 4kids Shredder Nick April IDW Casey 90 Movie and IDW tied Bebop and Rocksteady Nick Karai Nick Baxter IDW Last edited by aliena; 06-09-2015 at 03:17 PM. |

Because he's trolling.
If anything, OT April is a mascot for why chicks need feminism. The main female in that show was portrayed as a nosey know it all who couldn't really handle herself & needed the assistance of big muscley men every day. & Baypril had her body exploited, if nothing else. So that's not particularly helpful either. But there we go taking the bait...

 A positive role model for female and a true inspiration to us all. Even Forbes acknowledged TMNT 2014 as a feminist movie  : http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmen...films-of-2014/

From your point of view, I can see why both the OT and Platinum Dunes April might be considered "feminist" to you. However, you have to understand that not everyone agrees with you. |

Let's see....
Leonardo--1987 though 2k3 is close. I love OT Leo because while he plays the top student and eldest brother/leader well, he also knows when to lighten up and have a little fun. Raphael--1990 Movie. I like both versions of Raph, the sarcastic and angry ones and I think Movie Raph combined them well. Angry Raph can come across as a bully (particularly in Nick IMO) and sarcastic Raph can be a bit lazy at points. I think Movie Raph has the best features of both. Donatello--Geez, this one is hard but probably 2k3 Don with SOTO Don/OT Don tied in close second. I like SOTO Don's struggle with their origins; I really felt for the guy. OT Don had some vanity and superiority complex at times that made him interesting. But why 2k3 Don? Well, he's just so...nice! Seriously, I'd love to just sit and talk with this guy! His VA really knocks it out of the park here. I met the guy a few years ago and he is so involved with his fans. Gave me a couple of awesome photos during a panel. Michelangelo--OT hands down followed by Movie 1990. THIS is Mikey to me--laid back, funny without being over bearing, caring, empathic, energetic. He's a good fighter but also intelligent and capable of saving his brothers just as often as they save him. I saw a bit of a confidence issue with him at times but that made him all the more intriguing. Splinter--OT. I think 2k3 can be a bit too stern and comes across as unsupportive at times. Nick Splinter I just don't like his personality much at all. Movie Splinter us probably my second fav. I think OT Splinter is caring yet firm and while he doesn't get as involved, I always figured that meant he trusted his students could handle themselves. He still got involved when he had to. April--OT oddly enough. I don't dislike any of the Aprils but I think OT made for a good sisterly figure/mother figure without having to learn martial arts. Personally, I found her to not be Lois Lane type material but rather someone devoted to forging her own life and career and being stubborn about it. I don't really like how other versions become this overly competent fighter. I think learning some self defense is fine but not to the extent of skill they take it. Casey--1990 Movie. This is Casey Jones to me. Capable and funny but still able to form strong relationships. His friendship with the turtles and interest in April feels genuine. Shredder--2k3. While OT Shredder is funny, 2k3 is threatening and a good adversary. I think his backstory is intriguing and making him an Utrom I found to be a neat twist. Though, I did wonder how a robotic suit was that good a fighter... Baxter--About even between 2k3 and OT. 2k3 was intelligent and cunning, which makes for a great villain but there were still aspects of good, if small, in him. OT Baxter I just really feel for. Poor guy could not catch a break and when you see him in the first episodes, it is a reminder that he started out as just a poor inventor trying to get recognized. |

Reviewing everyone else's choices, I realized I oversimplified and didn't think it through:
Leo: Mirage Don: IDW Mikey: Mirage Raph: Image April: IDW Casey: 1990 Splinter: IDW Everyone else, definitely IDW...

Leo-Nick (when he was Jason Biggs, but I'll now take 2k3 Leo over Seth Green's Leo)
Don-PD & 2k3 equally Raph-2k7 Mikey-1990 Splinter-Nick April-IDW

Leo - 1990 Movie
Raph - tie between 1990 Movie/Fred Wolf Mike - Fred Wolf Don - tie between Nick/Fred Wolf April - 1990 Movie Splinter - tie between Nick/Fred Wolf Shredder - 1990 Movie Casey Jones - 1990 Movie This is just based on the TMNT series that I know the best. I'm hoping to delve more into the Mirage, 2k3, and IDW series and see if that changes my answers, haha.
