Yeah......and now hes a dumb-ass who can act a bit selfish (at least that is what I got from the two episodes I watched before I banned myself from watching the new series)

[@gladiatorscoops]

I think it was the same in the original cartoon, seem to remember Splinter being the only one able to hand Shredder his a$$.......except on one episode where Leonardo comes up against the Shredder and defeats him after suffering from a huge bout of self doubt on being a worthy leader. Also one of the reasons why I've always considered Leo the best fighter out of the turtles...and in the movie hes the only one to injure Shredder in the battle on the roof top.

[@tangofett4065]

The 2007 movie was fantastic to me! They truly acted like “Ninja”, and that Raph vs Leo fight is ALL TIME classic!

[@Syklonus]

That film was solid and I really enjoyed the vibe, but the story and bad guy was just too dull. Winters just isn't a good replacement for Shredder, and it felt lacking in that department. However, it 100% deserved a sequel and continuation in that style.

I love the movie but it gets kinda boring and dull sometimes.

[@mysterycupofjoe2670]

@@Syklonus Agreed. The villains wanted to be separate from Shredder but the main stone general had costumes look like the Shredder's. The story felt more like something you would see on tv than in the theaters. Still a great design though.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

2012 was a brilliant series, and in my opinion the very best tv version of the Ninja Turtles. The show was so creatively done, using different animation styles depending on the situation (dream sequences, referencing different media like comics and old cartoons) It was funny most of the time but when things got serious, they got se-ri-ous, which made it more impactful emotionally. I mean, they killed Splinter of, twice! On screen! There were pop culture references that were relevant to both kids and adults and we got the most badass version of Splinter, maybe only surpassed by the IDW version, which was way overdue. I love kind, wise Splinter but this version knel how to kick ASS. This show was brilliantly written and it will take a whole lot to surpass this show.

[@Ooferninja69]

[@joshuaadamafio9898]

Yeah I can't believe it didn't get a higher spot just because of the design

[@adathecheeseburger8490]

Exactly, and the designs might be one of my personal favorites. They actually looks and act like teenagers, which I feel gets left behind sometimes despite the franchise being called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rottmnt wasn’t that bad on its own, but it’s not a great adaptation of TMNT. Like, it’s not the turtles we’re looking for.

[@explosionsandstuff7787]

@@joshuaadamafio9898 Not going to lie, the character design is the reason I've never watched the show. It just looks lazy. The turtles have hardly any curves or shape to them, to the point where their toes don't even look like toes. The feet look like a hoof with lines drawn on it. My thinking is, if they're going to be that lazy with the animation, how lazy are they going to be with the casting or writing?

Funny part is that as a fan of the 1987 series, I always reluctantly jump into the newer series thinking it's going to suck. It happened 2003 and 2012.

[@HORRIOR1]

Personally I rate 2003 higher than 1987 or 2012. 1987 was pretty good, for first two or three seasons. Then it just turned into a cash grab… 2003 and 2012 had far better characterization and story telling, but I find the more mature tones of 2003 suiting story centered style more. Sure the last two seasons were wonky, but when you look at the over arching narrative from season 1 to 5, you can forgive the ones that came after. Plus what comes to 2012 when you rewatch it, you start to notice how much meandering and filler there is. On top of that, the things with Karai, Splinter, and Shredder, kept going in circles over and over again, until the very end. I guess the producers were afraid to change the status quo, so it wasn't until the last seasons when they knew the show was gonna be over soon, were the writers allowed to change things up a bit.

The designs were great, and the voice acting was superb. Just wish it had a better story.

He can't do nothing. In nick version, he is very cool, ok, he really brutal, but in the '03 Splinter is balanced, he gives a help for turtles, and turtles gives help him. Because he is old age. Raph's voice in 2012-is perfect, it's your opinion, but as a character, he is just a mad and badass turtle, during in '03 Raph is a turtle, that looks mad, and when he see, that his brothers in trouble, he forget for a moment everything, trying to help them. And...Mikey-in nickelodeon version he is just a dumb, he is really strange in that adoptation, in demension x-he is know everything, but he didn't know about this demension, and it's sucks! In 2003-, he is just play a fool, joking, because he is free, and he doesn't want to be a leader, he knows, he does not need it, looking for Raph, or Leo. I know, season 6 and 7-is a mistake.

Going to be the rare new opinion that Rise is my absolute favorite. The reimagining makes it understandably hard for most of the fandom, but it's a lot more respectful than people give it credit for. The biggest factor is that while silly, our plots do have foreshadowing now, the new characterization have depths beyond the standard brothers' formula (while having elements of classic if you know where to look), Splinter's lore surprising everyone and becoming a fandom favorite. And best of all, it doesn't solely focus on Raph and Leo, which is great for people who have Donnie and Mikey as favorites. Fight scenes are the best they've ever looked, being better than most movies. The brothers absolutely adore each other (my biggest issue with the other new gen turtles where they mostly bicker) and I look forward to their training. I do hope someday this iteration will become beloved too. My other favorites are Mirage, 1990, and 2003, the ones I haven't tried yet are Mutation and Bayverse, good list.

I legimately liked the 2007 movie, I don't know if it's nostalgia, but I consider it a preety fun movie, and was the reason I liked the Ninja Turtles with the 2003 series when I was a child.

[@starcityarrow4193]

My favorite will always be the 2003 series. I loved the darker tone that felt more accurate to the comics. And because of how much I loved it I went back and watched the original series which I also loved. But when the 2012 series started... I was very disappointed about everything... I stopped watching after a few episodes but still gotta give credit to them for balancing it between the 1987 and 2003 series

[@wolffiegaming]

2012 gets crazy dark FYI. I am not saying every episode is great, they are not. But, the overall story arcs, and the personal feel between Splinter and Shredder has never been matched in my opinion. 2003 was mostly good though.

[@rugalthreesixteen6812]

Funny thing is as close as they were characterizarionwise to the comics they actually MET the original comics versions and got their asses handed to them, one of the og comic turtles even one shoted the entire 1987 quartet, and one lampshaded a trope of the villains talking too much he just kicked 2003 shredder when he was babbling too much og blaxk and white turtles were badass.

[@j.dubDaGoat]

2012; because I grew up watching that show it had great animation, the best character development, amazing voice actors, and I really like the fact that April got to fight people too. My only problem with it was Casey’s design.

[@legoben98productions]

Same, I eventually found Casey’s design suitable for the series and grew to liking the vigilante look compared to the classic look.

[@diaryofagoat-lass1023]

Honestly, I think the 2003 series should've beaten the 1987 show just a little bit... but granted, 1987 is the show that started it all. 2003 tmnt's story was and still is to me, capable of some of the saddest/scariest writing possible. Besides, they had Peter Laird (one of the original creators of the turtles) as their creative consultant in the 2003 series.

[@hettyscetty9785]

I agree, the story didn't sugar coat anything. The turtles knew that they could die when facing off the shredder at the end of season 3. They gave one of the turtles an existential crisis that on a rerun of the series that I'm undergoing is a lot better placed than I had thought. I think I might be putting too much thought into it though. But from a writing perspective and from a writers perspective I think that it is the best series as well.

[@captainmario_]

The BIGGEST factor of any TMNT series is balancing the blend of the core nostalgic dynamic with a refreshing new feel. The balance is important, as most would agree the two largest fan bases are how traditional the turtles are to the original comic, versus how new and different they are with creative change. Too much change to the point where it might as well be a different series is like Rise of the TMNT, because they massacred the four purest elements themselves: The Turtles! They are the perfect combination of characters that have us coming back for more. Like the four elements themselves: Leo = Water Raph = Fire Don = Earth Mikey = Air Leo and Raph rival as do water and fire, and Don and Mikey are exact opposites like earth and wind. All four together is why the series is so good. But Rise of the TMNT... just a series slap-sticked with the turtles' name on it to make it a cash cow.

[@captainmario_]

​@Bhone-Nadine Forkah-Musoro Hey sure thing! So I ended up watching it and I would say my favorite aspect was the animation, the switch between fight style especially in the finale episode when they tag teamed, and the effort to try and make things new and different. My least favorite moments are a Lot. The worst thing about the show to me is the character development, and here's why. To make Leonardo this risk taking one liner goof ball and to make Raphael the leader was already a hard thing for me to understand, but I just allowed myself to watch it for what it is. The dynamic of the team here was Raphael is the leader that has 90% of the important lines, and the others barely question him and have this unspoken but very visible approach of acting like sheep around him, and he picks them all up with one hand and carries them around, basically being the best at everything. That is not a leader. In the other series (most of them), Raphael and the others heavily question Leonardo's plans as well as vice versa to any other turtle's methods, and the development of their relationships stands out within those conflicts. The flow of the episodes in this show doesn't feel like these relationships are deep or somewhat even believable. Rather, it feels like a story that's being told to me how it's supposed to be while it doesn't feel natural, it feels force fed. Perfect example, as much as I love Leonardo and would be happy that he was announced as the leader, in this series what did he do to earn that? There is really no explanation and all of them feel like crappy leaders anyway, and more like zany characters of some sort. Some shows like this do a good job adding the epic plot line to their humor focused episodes, but this one poorly executes that. The characters just feel like they're saying lines that they're "supposed to say". The plot and story pacing is extremely hasty and rushed, and instead of feeling the attempt that was aimed for the show's originality flow, I personally felt non-engaged and somewhat nauseous at times. Characters having one liners with each other is not really what I would call solid character development either. Having moments that have emotions around them also doesn't necessarily mean it's a deeply written show either. Yes, they did a good job with showing that "gran gran" was important, but not enough throughout the series with the main characters, and her arc also felt rushed. Master Splinter is God Awful and an insult. I get that they were adding transparency to his arc instead of perfection, but he just feels like he's there and the love between the family is so much more lacking than any other series. His story as a famous movie actor is really just lame. When Splinter is even hurt in another series the viewer feels immediate pain as he represented so much respect, while in this one he's such a weak slob that doesn't exert any master qualities. Michelangelo is supposed to be the compassionate one here, and... supposed to be funny too? He feels flat and weak and since Leonardo is this arrogant funny guy all of a sudden, the balance feels really off. Donatello is basically the most untouched, but all of them feel too goofy, where they try and have Raphael take on the serious roles and it's force fed mess, not just comparing it to the original. As gorgeous as a lot of the scenes are with a hand drawn feel of animation style, the fight scenes are less strategic and not specialized to the characters personalities. They are more "wham bam pow", not that most TMNT shows are different unfortunately, but still this was one of the worst. For example, Shredder, the main villain of any TMNT series, is a mindless bad guy in this and when they are all fighting him at the end, there is no power gauge on any character's abilities or weaknesses, just a bunch of punches ended with a final multi character waaaaaa kind of physical attack. That is way too easy and predictable for any final boss. Anyway, I don't mean to be so rude to the creators' and the work they put in, I personally feel that this show is lacking and could have been written well, but I don't think it is, and I place this somewhere at the bottom of the barrel of TMNT series shows, and most shows in general.

Dude, I don't really care for filler episodes. As long as if it is a good episode, and well written, I have no problem with it. A lot of Season 3-5 however, in my OPINION, was not well written. I just didn't like what they did. The April storyline was completely jumbled up and got less and less consistent, so did the space arc. The numerous amount of unresolved storylines and mysteries and character derailment wasn't pleasing. I know this also happened in the 87 series, with many unresolved storylines such as Mona Lisa, the fate of the Mutapunks, Scrag's mutation, Tokka and Rahzar, HiTech's demise, Krang's body, but those elements were very minor compared to the storyline of the 2012 series. I'm just stating my opinion, and I felt like the show went downhill after Season 2. Season 1 was great and Season 2 was even better. Seasons 3-5 however, I felt were not as strong as the first two.

While I think that it is a tad childish the turtles are kids and ultimately it is a kids show.

Seriously how twisted do you have to be before you kill your sister in law and believe you've killed your brother, raise their daughter to hate your brother and then when you find out your brother is alive 16 years later hunt them down to the other side of the world and then go through hell trying to kill your nephews because you believe that your brother wronged you when you were in fact in the wrong. And then you still have your criminal empire to run in between all that and also aliens are trying to mutate the planet and the turtles are just a bunch of kids who got cocky and spilled mutagen everywhere so there are a bunch of mutants running around New York and no one has ever seen them.

I'm not saying they difnt makr the storyline their own but they did copy. Like with the time girl and savanti Ramiro, that was very similar with some eps. And the the rabbit samurai guy, and the ending whrre they cut off shedder's head, that was from the 2003. Even the triceraton that was like their friend cause he lost his memory was something like 2003. So I'm not saying they didnt have their own stories or even make some into their own, but they did play off of 2003. I always felt like 2012 was a bet meh in some areas, especially since nick make it a bit weird at points and a bit too childish then trying to amp up to mature fights on occasions.

My favorite turtles are the 2012 turtles,probably because they're the turtles I grew up with

[@LILGHETTI]

My personal favorites are TMNT (2003) series, TMNT (2007) & the 1990 movie!

My favorite TMNT is The 2012 Version

[@christopheraguilera6249]

87" takes it for me, 10 seasons of awsomeness. 2003 was also sweet, took me awhile to get used to the 2012 series but im gald i stuck with it cuz it hits most things out of the park, best splinter ever and tigerclaw is cool. turtles forever my favorite movie, and of course 1990 movie classic

[@4nnih6]

1. RoTMNT - it feels like an epic version of tmnt in their early days and the setup and buildup and payoff of plot threaded thru the episodes(without going too heavy in all the eps) make it a fun watch. didn't think I'd like it based on the humor but it's actually pretty balanced. A bit frenetic here and there but I like how much the creators are fans themselves - it feels like any change is informed by what they know about the show. 2. 2003 - this was good and im still nostalgic for it 3. first movie - loved the costumes/animatronics and definitely made me a bigger fan as a kid than before 4. 1987 (I just have nostalgia w this one and its what got me into tmnt) 5. does TMNT and Batman movie count? 2012 was ok, but got sorta weird to watch with how April got the short end of the stick with a lot of plot. Got a little too heavy with 'intense' plots. Still, made by fans for fans, so it was cool to watch for a while.

[@bigsterman2055]

Yeah

[@HonkeyKong54]

Putting the Jim Henson animatronic 90's film 3rd is down right wrong. The original comic book creator worked on that film also.

[@deagek7638]

My favorite is the 2012 tmnt because the characters all had there separate stories and they evolved over time, it was the funniest tmnt series by far, and the hamato yoshi and orocco saki.....ooofff

[@ultrascouter203]

It was a pretty great show it did have some boring side episodes tho btw rottmnt for me atleast is the funniest tmnt ever

[@daviddarkstonedtv9775]

Looooved the 2012 Nickelodeon series, nostalgic, well written, so many callbacks to the original and the voice actors along with Andrea Romano's wisdom just my favorite equal to the original in my book and the original movie is amazing up there with dinner Superman and Tim Burton Batman!!!

[@omega-man1736]

Same for me, I LOVE TMNT 2003

[@TUM_Toons]

If I had to rank the shows worst to best: 7: Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (Need i say more?) 6: TMNT: Fast Forward (Never watched it, but it looks stupid) 5: TMNT: Back to the Sewer (Refer to Fast Forward) 4: TMNT 2003 (I liked it, but there's better) 3: TMNT 1987 (A true classic) 2: Rise of the TMNT (Pretty good binge. And the movie was amazing!) 1: TMNT 2012 (Grew up with it, amazing show) And the movies: 8: TMNT 3: Turtles in Time (Good god...) 7: TMNT 2014 (The sequel is WAY better) 6: TMNT 2007 (It's fun, but I miss The Shredder) 5: TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze (The tone might be lighter than the first movie, but it's still pretty good) 4: TMNT: Out of the Shadows (Did what the original TMNT 2 Didn't. Gave us, Shredder, the Technodrome, Baxter Stockman, Kraang AND Bebop and Rocksteady in the same movie. I love this movie much better than the first.) 3: Turtles Forever (How to do a multiverse crossover right. Too bad they couldn't get the original VA's back to voice the 80's turtles though.) 2: Rise of the TMNT The Movie (My god. I can't express how gorgeous this movie looks. I love it to bits, but there is one better...) 1: TMNT 1990 (Still the best adaptation of the TMNT in movie. Nothing will ever top it.)

[@I_Logophile]

I would’ve gone 1. 2012 series 2. 2003 series 3. TMNT 2014 movie 4. TMNT 2007 movie And I’m not sure after this but I know I’d put TMNT: Out of the Shadows after number 5 and ROTTMNT around 7-10😝

[@hannahthornton8198]

2012 is my number 2 show 2003 is my number 1 show 2007 is my number 1 movie Here's why: I was born in 2004 and my nephew and I watched every episode of TMNT 2012 and instantly fell in love. The story, the fighting, when their eyes turned white, SPLINTER, and SHREDDER all all reasons why that show is my # 2 2003 is my number 1 because of how dark the show is. I personally love the designs of them and how each episode went. The same as it never was episodes and the episode Insane In The Membrane are by far the most memorable. NOT TO MENTION fast forward which still had the TMNT fun while also having dark elements. Back To The Sewer was also really good, also the many versions of Shredder got more and more dark, psychotic and all around amazing. 2007 is my favorite movie because of the look, the fighting, the story. The villain is meh and so is Splinter's design(I think he looks like Chester the Cheetah). But the reason why it tops the list is the family dynamic. They all act like teenagers and they are doing normal teenage things, Raph is rebellious, Leo is the good kid, and Donnie and Mikey have their own jobs/business. Also need I mention the ICONIC Leo vs. Raph fight?! Those are my pics and reasons ☺
