Why your favourite turtle is your favourite turtle

Misfit · 11-07-2003, 06:22 PM

We all have our favourite turtle out of the four guys...so I thought it would be interesting to get the lowdown on why your fvourite TMNT is, well, your favourite TMNT. What do you like so much about him? Has he always been your number one guy or have there been our favourites before him? Is there any one moment that just made you stand up and think "that's it, he;s the best!" That sort of thing.

Post all answers here!

I'll post my own when I'm not so tired.

Either Raphael or Leo. Hard to decide.

Tied between Raph and Mikey.Raph, because I am quick to anger, much like him. Mikey because I'm a jokester.

OA · 11-07-2003, 07:35 PM

I've always enojyed Raph the most..its just his "get outa my face" attitude...from the comics, to the movies, to the shows, he still is my numero uno...

I've always loved Don the best. It was instantaneous.

Why he's always been my favorite? Hmmm... Instead of going into a way too long explanation, let me say this: Kindred Spirits. My personality is alot like Don's. And then they always had those great voice actors for him, and he's such a sweetie...

~~Leo656~~ · 11-07-2003, 09:21 PM

Leo. I've always been attracted to leader types like Leo, Lion-O, Superman, etc.

*Cascadia* · 11-07-2003, 09:56 PM

Don....my lifestyle and personality is similar to Donatello. The only thing that make me similar to Leo is my riding abilities. Two years ago, I stood on my horse's back.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 11-07-2003, 10:06 PM

Leo's my favorite.... He was the only one I can remember from the old series!

**HorseTechie** · 11-07-2003, 10:26 PM

I'm one of thse who can't pick one. Yeah... so you can say I see Raph like a brother type, and Don like my romance type.

I first liked Raphael, cause he was kind of like me. I tended to be a rebel, I had a sarcastic nature, and I often would throw a hissy fit if I didn't have it my way. I'm very defensive too. So I can relate with him, and understand his pains, and his desires to be something more than the freak he is.

Then I had grown to like Don quite a bit too. I realized I was a geek too! I'm shy, and trying to carry on a conversation with someone (new) is hard for me. Unless they are a Mikey type.

I also have a passion for science, nature, and technology... but I lack the brains that Don has. So he's like the person I admire. He manages to keep his temper, he has the answer for every problem (almost!), and well, his geekyness is so cute.

Meira-Bates · 11-07-2003, 10:41 PM

I've said it some where else already, but I like Donny because I respected/envied his smarts as a little kid. I also wished that I could accidently open portals and travel lostly X.x

**Kali** · 11-07-2003, 11:07 PM

Raph has always been my favorite, in any incarnation. I think it's because he's kinda like the "inner me". The kind of person I would be if I wasn't a shy, spineless, introverted loser.

He just brings out that side of me, and I like that.

raphael90 · 11-08-2003, 12:38 AM

It's not hard to guess mine huh?

Raphael is my favorite. He was the first figure I got when I began collecting. Granted he is a bit sarcastic, but I love his humor and little jabs.
He just seems like the coolest of the four. In the movie he was major league good at kickin' butt. Yes he let his anger get the best of him and he's very impatient YET he's not the kind of guy to sit around and do nothing. Gotta love that. Yeah, he's my fave.

Eidiot88 · 11-08-2003, 01:38 AM

I always liked Donny. Ask me why I really couldn't tell you. All I remember is when I was like little my mom told me my birthday was in April and I said no I want my birthday to be in Donatello, haha.

I always loved the whole team together.

Splinter · 11-08-2003, 02:33 AM

Michelangelo, or Michaelangelo...if you're old school. Always been my favorite turtle. Just love his innocence, his good natured soul. He's the one that's the most 'human' of the four in my opinion, or atleast the one most in love with the 'human' world. The others are cool, but they just don't have that hook of being likeable characters as much as Mikey.

But Splinter beats all four of them, for favorite status. Always liked Splinter in all the incarnations of the Turtles. Though I much prefer the 'rat' origins to the 'mutated Hamato Yoshi' origins. My favorite TMNT character of all time. I dunno, just something about him that I really like. His spirit, his dedication to his sons, and in the new toon the fact he can seriously kick some major arse.

So much better then the other versions of Splinter who mostly played the 'sensei' role way to much. And not the ninja role. Just seeing Leo and him in 'The Shredder Strikes', where he's teaching Leo his lesson about the 'weapon only being as strong as the arm that weilds it'. That was great.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-08-2003, 05:56 AM

I like them all equally, actually.

I can relate to all four of them.

I'm a perfectionist like Leo.
I'm quiet like Don.
I'm hot-headed and cynical like Raph.
I'm artistic like Mike.

So...Yeah.

MW8979 · 11-08-2003, 06:24 AM

Donatello. Without his life saving inventions, the turtles would have been sunk a long, long time ago.

Ashangelo · 11-08-2003, 07:41 AM

My favorite was always Leo on the old toon and in the movies. But when the new toon came out Raph started appealing to me for then Leo, I mean don't get me wrong I still love Leo but I think Raph has managed to slide into the #1 spot for time being.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-08-2003, 08:09 AM

i like raph cuz of his attitude, i have always liked that, it makes him the toughest

Silver Turtle · 11-08-2003, 08:13 AM

Donatello, because I like his shy, quiet personality.

Plus he's really smart. I can't say I relate though to him. (I wish)
