Do you prefer old Leo or new Leo?

[@Argentina_Hates_Chile]

Two

[@VincentMartinez15]

Both

[@aliciatauscher26]

@KiloBisto, Can you do Raphael’s evolution next I’m anxious to see what his evolution is going to be like, He and Leo are my favorite ninja turtles

[@ethanpayero]

I luv the new Leo

[@ethanpayero]

@morganwenninger8802 same Ben Schwartz is amazing as rise Leo

[@renarddubois940]

i love how TMNT is always a perfect windows on the current cultural and artistic trends in the entertainment industry, TMNT will be a gold mine for historians

[@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

[@martinboyd899]

My top 5 favourite Leo voice actors, Cam Clarke, Michael Sinterniklaas, Jason Biggs, Ben Schwartz and Eric Bauza

[@andrewbrady9896]

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.

[@aryannaliggins100]

I like Ben Schwartz

Cam Clarke.... BROTHA!!!!

[@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!

[@santiagocaraballo1975]

My favorites are 2012, 2003, Rise, and even the mutant mayhem.

[@ezekielkennedy_]

I know right just mutant mayhem Leo saying Mikey watch out instantly got me hooked on

I liked rise Leo too (mainly bcuz I matched the same personality as him)

[@brodyburke1960]

Same

[@glowisbored]

Same man! I've seen you in some of Geektron's comments.

[@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.

[@Sonicteenhedgehog]

Gumball:"10:48"

[@bradpoc2791]

My fav Leo is 2003 and 2012

[@ShiraMashila]

Same! The rise one is my favorite

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

[@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

[@SheWas_aFai3y]

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.

[@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!!❤❤❤❤

[@CutieCutieandfriends]

[@LemonMeerkat230]

4:43 Is the Greatest version of Leonardo. He has an epic character ark during Season 4 of the series and is in rage trying to redeem himself for his failure the prior season.

[@danielpuig2598]

My favorites rise, 2012, 2003, 2009, 2014, 2016, and also the mutant mayhem of course❤

[@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

[@shadybobcat8389]

I love how when it comes to rise the music just becomes a totlle vibe

[@vexillonerd]

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.

Not really

[@dabestramen]

IS THAT THE BITE OF 87!!??

[@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
