Not so weird to me. Splinter has his moments.

Raph. He has a lot more common sense than mikey and leo.
For nostalgia's sake, I'd say Raph, but I think I like Donatello more than the others in this series. Leo's pretty cool too, and while he may not always see through people the way Raph does, he's a far better strategist.

Just like you to like comic-relief fodder. uhuh

Does any one else have q sinking feeling that the pulveriser's real name is Casey Jones?
xD So I just kinda caught up on the series, and Splinter's two finger punch to Rat King was epic. And Mikey complaining about not getting to name the Rat King. I do have to say Splinter is one amazing character. And I AM kind of glad they took the root of Splinter being Hamato Yoshi because that makes a lot more sense. As much as I like the original comics, and the original movies Splinter being a rat that somehow is a superb unbeatable marital artist just doesn't work.
Originally posted by KentoMikey has always been the most talented of the four, the problem is -he lacks the focus. It was shown in the new show as well. Remember when Raph was trying to learn to fight without thinking? Mikey succeeded but he failed. The joke was that Mikey doesn't think period but it's also a feat of skill and talent IMO.

Originally posted by SamZEDEven so, it was still just a joke, and the raw talent Mikey is meant to have really doesn't get shown. Though most of the spotlight is always to Leo anyway so it's not like Donny or Raph gets to showcase much either. But the shows still awesome imo cause of how it adds the elements all together from every other series.

Relax, was just joking. Seriously though, the guy's colour is orange, like another certain thick-headed ninja we know and like. 😛
Yeah. A rat learning uber techs just by watching his master is a little far-fetched, relatively speaking.

That was Donatello who could not fight without thinking, not Raphael. Raphael pretty much charges head-first into a fight without thinking, most of the time.
Besides, Donatello does in fact fight without thinking later on in that episode.
And yeah, the prequel comic for this show states that Mikey has more raw talent than the other three combined, but does not train enough to harness that talent. Pretty ridiculous.
Originally posted by Demonic PhoenixI know 😛. 😆 But Mikey is awesome, Naruto not so awesome. Actually though orange does seem to be the thick-headed person. Kento of Hardrock from Ronin Warriors is another one.

This may very well be my favorite animated series of the franchise (I'll go on record and admit I didn't really enjoy the 2003 series as much as I wished I could've). It not only hooked me the moment I was a third the way through the premiere (cemented as soon as Splinter decided to make Leonardo leader), but most of the show's own nuances do a pretty great job of carrying the humor-side of the show even with some of the liberties to more strongly-established notions. I never get tired of those Space Heroes clips, the Kraang are the Department of Redundancy Department incarnate (my most favored TvTropes trope among the tropes I favor most upon the TV tropes website which I frequently visit on a regular basis), and the extent of Donnie's crush on April hasn't failed to crack me up yet (especially that clip with his laptop).
And I gotta say, some of the obscure references in episode 4 are really stealthily put in there; Bradford's clearly a Chuck Norris pastiche, that's no secret, but am I the only one who noticed the Action Jeans reference?
I was always huge on the Ninja Turtles as a kid, and this show is doing a damn good job of reminding me of that.
As for my favorite Turtle, it is and always has been Raphael, but this series does a helluva good job at making them all equally appealing every chance given.
"There are lights of a vehicle which contain that which you wish us to call "the turtles" coming to this place, which you wish us to call "here". "
"We shall destory the ones called the turtles who call themselves the turtles."
"Stop the one that needs to be stopped."
Love the Kraang.

Naruto's kinda awesome these days.
Of course. What kind of ninja chooses orange?
