Hells yeah I LOVE the turtles. I've been out of whack with them ever since the crap ass new animated series came on, I really think it's a load of crap if you ask me, they absolutely BUTCHERED Shredder. But I've definitely loved it from the old school cartoon series, that's easily one of the best oldie cartoons.
All of the movies (sans the 3rd) are incredible. And don't believe any bad feedback, trust me, any Turtles fan of ANY era, day, or age will enjoy the new movie. I totally loved the Turtles in time super NES video game, I could play that for hours on end and it still feels fresh and fun.
I sadly have a REAL hard time picking favorite characters because I have way too many. My number one would have to be Shredder, one of the greatest comic book villains ever in my opinion. Other favs include Donatello, Slash, Baxter Stockmen, Tokka and Rahzar (I LUV THOSE 2
), and Wingut.
And even though everyone pretty much bashed the hell out of this show, I still enjoyed Ninja Turtles: Next Mutation live action show. Mainly due to the fact it has my other favorite character, another villain portrayed for the first time EVER on screen in person by Scott McNeil, Simon Bonesteel.
