Ralph is #1 in my heart.

I personally want too see some awkward moments between him and Leo regarding following orders and his aggression.

 

[Octoberist]

I would like to see the bond between Mikey and Raph too.

As I said in the last thread, please don't have another "Raph gets mad and runs away" storyline in here. It's been done to death.

This and This.

Not to bring up the wonderful IDW comics again, there's a cute moment when Mikey takes Raph to the pizza parlor. Just read it, it's enduring.

Ugh. That's one of the few moments in the IDW run I had to struggle to get through.

Mikey was SO annoying there.

 

[Octoberist]

I loved it. Why was it annoying? It's a great character moment between the turtles.

I'll have to now. That's sounds adorable.

On the topic of his fighting style, what arts (apart from Ninpo aka Ninjutsu) should Ralph employ?

I've always envisioned Ralph utilizing Muay Thai, Kyokushin Karate and Greco-Roman Wrestling. They're aggressive and powerful arts in nature that match Ralph's personality.

The dialogue was obnoxious with him slobbering about the pizza guy. The moment was nice, but Mikey's dialogue was not endearing at all.

 

[Octoberist]

It's comic book pulp. that's all. I think there are exceptions to the rule when it comes to 'cheese'. I personally didn't think it's bad writing.

I envision Raph Being the MMA Guy...I can see him integrating Boxing,Kickboxing,and Wrestling into his style

Yea that's one thing that hasn't been touched on in the movies or Cartoon ...in the original comics Raph and Mikey are really close but the cartoon and movies changed it to Donnie and Mikey

 

[Octoberist]

and Donnie is suppose to be the guy in whom all of the Turtles like so he tends to be caught in-between everything.

The problem is MMA isn't a style. It's a system like Systema.

 

[The Morningstar]

I think Raph's fighting style should be almost, brutish. He's an aggressive, easily annoyed grump (i say that in the nicest possible way!). That should be reflected in how he fights.

Mikey should have a lot of "flair" to his style.

Donnie should be kinda, nonchalant and composed.

Leo should be precise, like a surgeon.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

With Mikey, I expect TKD, Capoeira and Drunken Fist.

Donnie should incorporate Judo, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali and Shotokan Karate.

Leo is easily a Jujutsu, Kenjutsu and ****o-Ryu Karate guy.

Well I never said it was a style

I just said I can see raph being the mma guy and I could easily see him implementing those various forms of martial arts like Kickboxing,Boxing and Wrestling into his style of fighting

Cricket?

I love Raphael " the wolverine " of the Tmnt. My favorite version would have to be Josh Pais from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). When I was a kid, I was kinda suprised to find out that Josh was a white dude, because his Raph always reminded me of Ice Cube for some reason.

Rob Paulsen Ralph from the Fred Wolf toon was my second favorite because he was such a wise ass. The 4Kids Ralph is my third favorite.

Speaking of O'Shea Jackson, check out the YouTube video "Raphael is a Gangsta". It's not Hype friendly but also really funny.

Will Do !

 

[ShredderX]

Just checked out " Raphael is gangsta ' on Youtube. LMFAO !!!! Whats so weird , like I posted earlier, I thought Josh Pais Ralph sounded and acted like Ice Cube. Now someone synced Ralph's scenes with soundbytes from Ice Cube movies, and THEY FIT !! LOL. SO WEIRD, BUT FUNNY AS HELL !! Thnaks Blitz !

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I wouldn't mind if Raph was voiced by a black guy in the new movie.

 

[The Morningstar]

I really liked his thick Brooklyn type of speech in the original movie.
