[@psychobilly42069]

You're so right every iteration is so emblematic of the zeitgeist at any given time its actually blowing my mind

[@timgorg1919]

Historians will love this, but we will probably suffer from the next few iterations

[@Mulukan57]

The character design revolution is also nice throughout tmnt series - 1987 giving their trademark headband colour - 2003 having different skin tone - 2012 having different height - 2018 being different species

All of those are good except for Biggs. I never how he gets work because he is lifeless and wooden in every role he does.

[@raymondadame6450]

I haven’t seen the 2003 tv show but I watch the movie and I love it

[@dontask9000]

Rise Leo is one of my top favorite versions of him. While he’s different from any other Leo we’ve seen, the writing he got for the rise movie was outstanding.

[@Tristansonic911]

Gumball:"10:48"

[@bradpoc2791]

My fav Leo is 2003 and 2012

[@ShiraMashila]

Same! The rise one is my favorite

[@rachel_espinoza]

Leo is so underrated! I love him. He usually gets a bad rep for having no personality because he’s the leader, but if you really look you’ll see he has his moments. I love 2012 Leo!

[@Jackhenrey]

None of them is underrated they're all have them own fans and who overatted ones

[@Dragon_Aoi]

Honestly, the he has no personality take (not saying u have this take, u obv. don't), is just wrong and stupid imo. Each version of him defin. has plenty of personify and are very complex characters. And him being the leader (though, in some versions, he becomes that later and/or it is something he really grows into), and being a leader in general means so many different things, and acquires so many different kinds of qualities and character traits. And there a different kinds of leaders too. So I always find it kind of weird that people try to equate being a leader (and sometimes even the oldest too, and I just like, "what, really? are you kidding me w/ that?" That isn't true either) w/ no personality, when that is the furthest thing from the truth. Anyways, yes, agreed, Leo (and/or at least some versions of Leo) can be pretty and/or very underrated (at times and/or sometimes). He does still have plenty of fans too (like me), or at least (more) people at least appreciating his character, even if they aren't (major) fans of him. And I think more and more people are loving and appreciating his character nowadays (with Rise and now MM and looking back at other and/or previous versions as well. Including another current one, like IDW TMNT Leo. Who is also great, and one of the best IDW TMNT characters imo), and that is cool! I hope more people will continue to do so! Since he is a great, amazing character and deserves all the love (the turtles are and do too, not saying they aren't and don't). :)

[@shadethesharp]

I was raised on 2012 Leo and he will forever be my favourite it doesn't matter how many new versions of him come out it will always be 2012 that's my nostalgic nothing will ever take that away from me - ! 🐢💙

Favorite Leo's will forever be Rise, 2003, and 2012 but I'm excited for Mutant Mayhem Leo!

[@stefanyiturrino6723]

My top 3 are 2003, 2012 and Rise (2018). Even the mutant mayhem one is slowly becoming one of my favorite Leos

[@BeeBeeDahZee]

Rise Leo is BEST Leo. Good combination of badass, level headedness, depth, intelligence, and snark.

[@ijionclifton9148]

He's one of them but not the best

[@ISLA436]

2012?

[@ShiraMashila]

Agreed

[@tobyluvseveryone]

Dang it we got another responsible Leonardo- rottmnt was one of the best cause he was different😢 But the thing with mutant mayhem is they’re beautiful art and animation it’s so pretty and they actually used teens the story looks pretty cool to, so far rottmnt, 2012 tmnt and the mutant mayhem is really cool in my list😅😊

[@grisannetr1146]

YES

[@ijionclifton9148]

Yes responsible leo will always be here and when he's at his best

[@CloverDrinksCoffee]

I grew up on the 1997 version of TMNT, and I always loved it. But my favorite is the 2007 version. I've really like the animation and the story of that movie.

[@soledadrojashurtado2822]

Mis favoritos son 2012, 2003, 2007, 2014, 2016, rise y caos mutante

[@sunnflare]

I absolutely LOVE 2012 Leo, but I grew up on 1990’s Leo so he’s the default favorite. All i can say is I know for a fact I’m about to ADORE 2023 Leonardo ❤🥹

[@housedeleon6550]

1987's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will forever be my favorite!!❤❤❤❤

IS THAT THE BITE OF 87!!??

[@WiredLain_]

2007 is slept on, it will always be my favorite movie and favorite version of the characters, tied with the original 90s film. I love Leo so much in the 2007 movie.

[@twistmygrinder4777]

2003 leo is the most fleshed out and mature leo that embodies all the characteristics of the original comics, but somehow softer and with greater humility and reliance on his family

As a turtle fan I see You forgot an important evolution step. Its '87 series, but The Red Sky Episodes (8-10) aired between '94 and '96. Its a different Era with different design. And in this design we can see were '03 design came from.

[@sodacitynative1983]

Classic cartoon, Turtles movies (90’s) 1 & 2, 2003 and 2009

[@andrewbrady9896]

Cam Clarke's performance from the 1987 TV series is my favorite. He really put his heart and soul into the part even though the character was the complete polar opposite of him. Brian Tochi comes in 2nd place for me. 6:57 to 7:27, Jason Biggs can't act his way out of a paper bag. He's so lifeless and wooden in everything he does. His acting makes Shia LaBeouf look like Tom Hanks and Taylor Lautner look like Daniel Day-Lewis.

[@ijionclifton9148]

Jason wasn't bad

[@nelsonmesengodinez6439]

The version of the 80s, 2003 , Turtles forever and The Crossovers with Batman, plus the Paramount movie are cool, the rest didn't catch my attention
