I like Raphael the best, cuz he's the only one who could make it on his own.

see the movie, there's another turtle who does just fine by himself...

Raphael since the 90's.

[JTStarkiller]

I was a Donatello fan back in the day when I was little, but I think Raphael appeals to me more as an adult.

 

[The Ether]

Mikey all the way. Orange and Bruce Lee Nun-chucks with a little humor. What a combination

 

[Lane Myer]

Raph has always been my favorite.

 

[Darkest Knight]

Raph is the ass kicker and emotional leader. I take him 10 times out of 10. He's got the most heart out of any of them.

I was definitely surprised to see Don ahead of Leo for awhile

Is Wolverine your favorite X-Man and Batman your fav. DC guy and did you love Sin City? Not being a jerk, I'm seriously asking. We're writing a movie about how people favor the loner and how sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't.

Kids and fanboys love the loner badass. He's the one they want to be most like. The leader has too much responsibility, and the resident brainiac is too much like them.

It's great that the turtles each have interesting personality's that appeal to different people. I kinda found Donnatello boring but i see now why some people find him the most interesting. I think Mikey would be even more popular if they made him grow up a little. Keep the debonair and witty attitude but make him more serious when it comes to fighting. They should show bad ass side more. A serious ass kickin' Mikey would be scary.

Yeah, I think the leader is the voice or reason they don't want to hear because we all have to at times... even though as you get older you start to realize that the real strength is in doing what's right instead of what's cool.

Is Wolverine your favorite X-Man

Don't really have a favorite X-men member per se, but I'd guess Wolverine would be my favorite. He's the most interesting, and is a character that can get your blood pumping and is relatable in grounded reality, and ideals. Flawed heroes are to me the most appealing.

and Batman your fav. DC guy

I get the theme of your post and your questions. Yes, of course Batman is my 'favorite DC guy.' He's my favorite character in comics period. You couldn't use deductive reasoning with my screen name to figure that out?

Anyway, me liking Batman has less to do with him being a 'loner' than what you're trying to mold my opinion into. Infact, that isn't even close as to why he is my favorite comic book character.

and did you love Sin City?

Do you mean Marv? Or Sin City? And no, I wasn't the biggest fan of Sin City. And even if I was a fan of all three, that doesn't neccessarily correlate to this:

We're writing a movie about how people favor the loner and how sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't.

Really? Those are the only two types of people who like Raphael? **** outta here, son. Normally kids flock to Michaelangelo out of any of them.

Don't be mad that the "Loner Badass" is the most popular one. Everyone loves the Loner. Girls want to be with them, guys want to be them. But of course Raphael has no responsibility, right? Maybe people like Loner's more because they wear their emotions on their sleeves, and have the balls to tell people where to stick it. They speak from the heart, and are always sincere.

I usually like the more Cyclops like character than the Wolverine one, but in this case I like Raph more.

 

[larryfilmmaker]

It's sort of one dimensional to say it's as simple as "the loner has more heart than the others". I don't think that's true at all. I don't think Raph has more heart than the rest of the team, and I don't think Wolverine or Batman has more heart than their teammates either. With the turtles specifically, I think Raph has become the loner simply because the MOVIE needed one, because it needed inner conflict with the team and they sorta borrowed the classic Cyclops/Wolverine relationship. Still, I think if you really look into it, it's not very realistic to say the loner is always right, the loner is more honest, or that the loner has more heart or emotion. Just because somebody goes around with their emotions or temper out of control doesn't mean the others don't HAVE them, it just means that they have them in check and are slightly more mature about them. Raph is an amazing character but I don't think he has more heart than the others, Leo specifically. I think that on the inside they are equally driven to do what's right, but that they take different roads to get there and that Leo is much more mature about what he says and does where as Raph just does whatever without thinking of the consequences.

I was totally annoyed with how the X-Men movies were making it look like you can be a complete jerk, make fun of the people you care about to the point of making them feel like crap, and at the same time be a selfless hero. Sure, it works in lala land and Clint Eastwood movies, but if you really care that much about people, you don't try to hurt them or verbally rip them apart at every opportunity. That shows total insecurity. Movies and comics tend to make these characters who in real life would mentally be unstable and who would probably cry themselves to sleep, but what they do is they strip away all of the emotionally insecure aspects of the characters, leaving them with only the "cool" parts of being a jerk. It's not realistic. Any brother who makes fun of his brothers every day would have a hard time sleeping at night if he really cared, and he'd apologize if he were an adult at all. He wouldn't keep doing it and somehow be made out to be the better man in the end. That's anti-hero crap and it is running rampant in our stories these days because let's be honest, it sells.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

^^ Yeah, Raph and Leo kind of reminded me of the Wolvie / Cyke thing going on. That's exactly what I thought when I saw the movie... which is exactly why Raph is my favorite.

 

[Neptune]

They all remind me of X-men characters.
Leo --> Cyclops
Raph --> Wolverine
Donny --> Beast
Mikey --> Iceman

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

^^^^ Haha, I agree.
