Who is the best Ninja Turtle? (POLL) Let's settle this!

@the_ruiner: It was, every polls got lost in the last site redesign.

@pr1mus: AH I see.

There's really no wrong answer. That's why there's 4 of them. They're designed to appeal to different personality types. Leonardo was my favorite as a kid but as I got into my angry teen years it was raphael. Now that I'm older, and significantly mellowed, I appreciate 1990 movie Michelangelo.

Raphael is my favourite turtle. I guess that means I think he's the best? Either way, I could relate to him the most. Dude is a ball of anger and pride that doesn't necessarily know why he is the way he is.

And then there's the best scene from the original TMNT. Granted it's more a CMoH for Splinter than Raph, but, eh, it's great either way.

Leonardo was always my favorite, and while I've liked the New Donatello incarnation, I still go back to the old 2003 version of Leonardo when I think about TMNT in general. He's smart, calm, kind, and charismatic.

Leo was always my favourite. He's the smart quiet leader who takes care of all of them.

If anybody's even thinking of saying Venus...

guys, this is from five years ago.

Donatello, He wears purple, has a fucking staff, and is always the best character in the TMNT beat em ups because of his range.

@techhits: Yeah, but it is a bit relevant with the upcoming movie and all.

Raphael.

Easy.

Donatello, he does machines.

although..... Michelangelo is a party dude.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE.

Leonardo.

He's got TWO SWORDS.

Donatello

I liked Donatello entirely because he was the best character in that NES game, I don't even really remember the show, only ever saw it when I was really young.

Michelangelo...obviously. Donatello is 2nd.

If you're saying anything but Raph you're wrong. Shame on you.

i've always been a party dude, so...

you're from five years ago

Raph obviously. He's got sick knives and rude attitude.

Michelangelo. Always and forever.

Then Donatello.

Then Leonardo.

Then Raphael.

Leonardo because he had two katanas

QFT

As a kid Leonardo cause he was the leader and swords are sweet. But as a I got older I liked Donatello the best. Second I'd pick Michelangelo. That dude is who you want at a party.

Franklin.

It's very simple : Donatello = Cyclops. Raphael = Wolverine. Therefore Raphael.

@nipcrip66: Have you ever even seen TMNT or the X-Men?

I vote that we close this thread and open a new one.

It's also clearly either Leonardo or Donatello. I haven't seen the cartoons in ages, but those are the two I remember having more fondness for - though truth be told, I don't remember why I liked Donatello that much, just that I did.

Mikey.

Gotta love that necro.

Anyway to me it is Donatello in almost everything Turtles related except the 2012 cartoon where i find him annoying, so in the 2012 cartoon, my favorite turtle is Leonardo as i love the fact that while he is as serious as other incarnations of him, he is also a huge geek that loves Star Trek, comics(he even has rare comics sealed), anime, games, pinball and even super sentai(at least in show, he sits down excited to watch what Mikey refers to as super sentai), and i just love the idea of their otherwise serious leader being very geeky.
