@@Mina-vt8vh TMNT '03 is overrated. TMNT '12 literally does everything right for it's franchise, it has personality for the characters(something most of the other adaptations have failed at) and not to mention has the best Shredder.

People that are reading this comment. IT IS MY OPINION, and if you don't agree and some 2003 fan comes in and say : the 2003 was always the best. ._. so what My Personal favourite is the 2012 series. but am not saying the others are bad am just saying that I enjoyed watching the 2012 series more than the others. OK 2003 FANS 😲 Man you guys give so much hate to 2012 series.
I liked how tall Donnie is instead of them at the same height I don’t mind the 2003 but I could not see the difference of the turtles besides the weapons and mask
What? I can't see any 2012 haters here... And even if there are, you don't have to be so cautious when you simply want to say which version is your favorite. I mean, look, everyone does it here and they get no hate for that.
Not every 2003 fan gives hate to the 2012 series. I’ve actually dealt with a couple 2012 fans who were idiots. For example: I am in the comments stating that 2003 is my favorite. Then a 2012 fan comes and says “no 2012” and then I reply with “you are not me so I still like 2003 the best”. So 2012 fans can be hateful too. Then I dealt with another who wasn’t necessarily hateful but they commented on random 2003 episodes saying that 2012 was better. Heck that person even commented on a 1987 video clip just to say that 2012 splinter was better. So it’s not exactly smart to say all 2003 fans hate on the 2012 series.
2003 was the best series. Peter Laird had TONNES of involvement with the series and that helped it a lot imo. Such a shame it's so hard to get it all on dvd.
I don’t man, I watched a few episodes on RUclips and honestly it was too serious for me and I never really laughed as much as I did in the 2012 turtles reboot and I never got the plot but some people like it and I have to admit that the theme song was catchy 🎵🎶
Actually Nickelodeon announced that officially on Facebook back in May I think. Unfortunately it's going to be a more lightheart feel "Teen Titans Go!" style. Not to mention 2D. Only upside to this is that A: It's staying on Nickelodeon and B: that the executive producers from the 2012 show and Samurai Jack are working on it so it's in good hands.
What I love about the look of the 2012 series Turtles is that each of them is very different from the other. In the 1987 and 2003 incarnations we basically had four matching turtles who could only be told apart from each other by the color of their bandanas. The 2012 series gave each of them a different look, in episodes like "Slash and destroy" and "within the woods" we see the guys without their bandanas and you can still see who is who. Raphael - Has a small, blocky shaped head, a wide neck and cracks in both his upper and lower shell, height-wise he's also the shortest of the four but also the most muscular. Michelangelo - Slightly taller than Raph, has big a more rounded face on a slimmer neck and big, round eyes which perfectly matches his happy-go-lucky character. Donatello - Tallest of the four, almost a full head taller than Raph. He's also the slimmest in built, his head is more elongated than the others which gives him that Nerdy look to match his character. And then there's the offset gap in his teeth. Leonardo - Probably the most neutral looking of all of them, body-wise he's inbetween Raph and Mikey, having the muscles of the former with the more rounded look of the latter.
And ppl say that Casey Jones was also introduced in the 2012 series when he was also in the '03 series. The only newest members in the 2012 series are Renet, Shinigami.
OMG that was one of my FAVOURITE episodes, and that's coming from someone who unfortunately never got to experience the 80's TMNT, I was laughing so hard at ALL the tongue-and-cheek references they made, great episode
The 80's/90's version had the longest run. It's by far the best one even with the humour. And plus, the pilot episode is the best of all-time. It started off actually quite serious. The original will always be the most iconic, made the biggest impact and will always be seen as the true turtles because it started it all. Looking at the comments here, I might be the only one here in my 30's which is why there is no support now for the 80's turtles. mark my words though, back in the 80's, it was the highest rated cartoon of all-time!!! Cultural phenomenon.
2003 was my life, but I LOVE the 2012 and am super bummed about it coming to an end...again. The 2012 just has the whole package to me from comic, anime, and a vast amount of homages to It's past and even the latest film. It is the most unique and original (in my opinion)
Okay I see were this comment section is going, so I'm just going to throw my hat into the ring. The 2012 version is the best in opinion. It has a good balance of humor and seriousness that doesn't not feel as jarring when they switch from one another. I was at first skeptical on the art style and the animation but after a few episodes you get use t the look and it isn't that bad. The fight scene a gorgeous and super slick with it's animation. REALLY THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. I grew up with the 2003 version and I still like it and without it and the 1989 version we would still have turtles, but this is a good blend of both.
Jazztoons yeah, I agree with you completely. While the art design isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, the animation makes up for it. Seriously, the animators are incredible whenever an action scene's required.
IMO The 2012 Version is My Favourite Version. I just prefer The Story Arcs (E.g Super Shredder) and It made me say "I actually Feel Bad For Bebop and Rocksteady". The Show just feels more Unique than The Others.
Duckmanlovesyou umm haha lol 2012 is worse They killed off Splinter, Shredder, Fish-Face, And Razar Not only that but they had a Non-Canon Ark set in the future where the entire human race died, Raph got Amnesia, Leo got dragged up, Donatello died, and Mikey was isolated from society
2012 All the way! Even though I grew up on the 2003... Tmnt 2012 is so much funnier and serious at the same time. Although I do like all three I'd have to go with 2012
If we're talking generally and drop all the things about being best and that stuff, then it doesn't matter which incarnation they are from. We people in the fandom didn't fall in love with 1987, 2003 or 2012 in specifically. We fell in love with TMNT like the whole basic of it. Turtles: family, action, humor that was what we fell in love with. I love the whole TMNT fandom no matter which year they are from.....But I can't deny I favorise the 2003 though xD It's too amazing, I still scream every once in awhile at the most epic scenes (All the scenes are epic, but ya know what I mean)💞💞💞
Imo 2003 had the best shredder. yes Uncle phill, and the latest shredder are good but without nostalgia for the late Uncle phill the 2003 Shredder was threatening. We saw him get stabbed (lived) his head cut off (lived), find out he is a alien yet still without his exo suit kicks butt and is menacing (lived) banished in a exile icey world (lived) comes back in Turtles Forever and nearly takes out every known TMNT timeline/other-world to which took 87's comic turtles, and 2003 turtles along with the 87's villains to stop him. Not to mentioned he killed many people on and off screen, this shredder took apart minions (mainly stockman that is reduced to a BRAIN), and felt like a true threat to the Turtles. (this is also not counting the Tain Qul Shredder who is a demon!!!!) Plus I say while yes the 2003 was action heavy it had a lot of humor, sad moments, showing each character in their own environment, and this Splinter was a mix of wise yet using his teachings for modern times for the turtles to understand. Plus battle nexus we find out Splinter was fighting aliens LONG before we ever saw Aliens hahahahahaha.
2012 turtles are decent but my problem with them is while it is very 87's feel mix with their own thing. Taking Casey and April to be teens, mix with Don falling for April was a bit much. That was not very needed at all. Not to mention the whole a major let down is the Mutiongin bomb not having enough background other than what is given. those Still image shots of Leo pushing the others off is what really got to me. However not much else is shown in that Art style. Nor do we see the characters talk or feel pain/loss in the future end of the world episode. However the 2003 turtles while they don't show the past battles that lead to two characters demise before hand, you can feel the loss, you then see what the cost was when you see the other turtles all beat up for over 30 years.
I really enjoy the 2012 reboot and I would love to get some replies on my comment on why mostly everyone thinks 2003 is better. Just curious and would like to know, is all.
Fans think 2003 is a masterpiece and they have that nostalgic feelings. Honestly I love 2012 a lot more than 2003 because they do a lot more action, references, and has an amazing voice cast
I remembered watching the first show when it aired in 1987 as a 9 year old kid! There was nothing better that getting up on Saturday morning, grabbing a bowl of Captain Crunch, and sitting in front of the TV watching the Turtles. There was no better time to be a kid!! The 80's and 90's were the best times ever!!!
The 2012 version is way better, imo. The 2003 version is really good too, but the intro is just ok. The first one is just... I don't want to trigger people, but atleast I'll say that the intro is nice. While 2012 has one of the best cartoon intros in my opinion and actually good CGI. The plot may be a bit over the place when they're in space, but it's still good.
Hell Nah I couldn't stand the 03 intro. The tune was alright, but the lyics are... Um... "Mutant chain reaction - turtles- living underground! With ninjitsu action - turtles - IT'S A SHELL OF A TOOOOWN!" sounds like its advertising a kids meal with a toy or something. The ONE thing I'll give it, the role call was clever. It was a cool way to tell us about the turtles without having to name drop them - Live by code of martial arts(honer, leo) Never fight unless someone else starts (strategy, donny) always stick together no matter what (heart, mikey) and if all else fails it's time to kick butt!(attitude, raph) ... Then they completely ruined it with some half assed lyrics just to give a more genaric role call - Leonardo is always in control... The wise guy is... Michaelangelo... Donatello is the brains of the bunch... And you can expect Raphael to THROW THE FIRST PUNCH! It's just... Forced.
@@Jesterclown17 I saw the lyrics and went... "I dont remember those lyrics" so I went to look at the intro... Turns out I saw the turtles in Spanish and they have different lyrics xD
Kids: 2012 Adults: 2003 It's not a diss in any way, I'm just saying that the majority of either shows fans will be younger or older depending which one they saw first. The first ninja turtles you watch will always be your favorite atleast for most.
M I was a kid when the 2003 version came out and a teenager in the 2012 version. I’m now 22 and my favorite version is 2012. Now, if you were talking about rise that came out much later, it would have made more sense. It’s 2020, most 2012 fans aren’t kids anymore.
hi Alyssa... I have this ship for Cade...it comes with a free plate of chocolate covered spinach...😜 then Vs now: transformers, g.I. Joe, thundercats, masters of the universe, voltron, super friends, loony Toons...
2012 is The Best with Drama, Every Nickelodeon have a Drama & Dark. Like: -All Grown Up. -As Told By Ginger have Teen Drama. -Rocket Power. -The Wild Thornberrys Movie have Drama Genre. -Avatar The Last Airbender. -The Legend of Korra. -TMNT 2012 all episodes have a Drama Too. And i knew i was right.
TMNT 2012 will always be the best It was dark, funny, cute, engaging And the storytelling was on point, I mean Splinter died and the Turtles lost for a long time
2003 is the best cuz its amazingly developed, sticking with comics, shredder was scary, foot ninjas were scary, elite foot guards were chilling, the show was full of emotions, it had serious drama. But I guess that for younger people 2012 are best. 2003 vs 2012, I think i know who wins, but most important is personal liking💙
I believe the 2012 version is about to end then again It kind of already has they already defeated shredder and Lost splinter they even stopped shredders revival if you ask me it's already ended
2012 Casey is the worst represantation of Casey Jones. He causes more problems to the turtles and is even dumber then Mikey in the 2012 Ninja Turtles series. I always prefer the 2003 series as my go to TMNT animated series to watch.
2012 Series Casey is the best. With April and Casey being a teen aswell, they connect wih the Turtles more. Casey connects with Mikey and Raph, while April connects with Don and Leo
The 2003 TMNT is truly the best one because it mainly brought every aspect of the comic to life. And that's why the show is known as Mirage TMNT and the creators of the comics had their hands in everything to make this animated series amazing. If you a big fan of the 2003 show please if you have time make sure you read the Mirage comic books. You would be totally amazed on how they got everything right and the dialogue that was in the books was in the show on certain episodes word for word.
say what you will about the 2012 tmnt but i love it mainly because the show seems to take aspects from almost every tmnt continuity and places them all together eg. some design aspects of the turtles ie the belt designs were taken from the 1990's movie the back story and aspects of the comedy was influenced by the 1987 cartoon ie splinter being hamato yoshi and having a long rivalry with the shredder (which is done way better in this show than the 87 series fight me) some stories such as the first fight with shredder or return to new York are taken from the comics and the fact that they use there weapons unlike the 87 cartoon (they even made fun of that in this show)
I was exposed to TMNT by the 2012 cartoon and I fell in love with it from the first two episodes. It honestly motivated me into creating my own characters that soon developed into creating a whole new fantasy world. It fueled my creative mind and led me to where I am today. I give it so many thanks. I know the Nick cartoon has its faults; I felt the romance was too forced at times, certain plots had multiple holes (Timothy/Pulverizer), certain characters were barely tolerable and much more. But that doesn't make me love it any less. It holds a special place in my heart and I'm more than willing to watch through the 2003 series if I ever get the time. It kinda upsets me seeing the division in fans over which series is superior. I believe every incarnation has its strengths and weaknesses, but the Turtles themselves are what brought fans together, whether it be for the humor, the cheekiness, the action, and/or the passion. We're all bonded by our love for these four turtle brothers and I hope that bond continues strong with the 2018 reboot (or we can band together to hate it if it fails).
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles, obviously I grew up with the Nickelodeon version. I love those brothers, splinter, and April. I love the action, catchphrases, villains, and personalities. The show gives you something special. 2017, definitely has captured my heart, the animation is amazing. I like Michaelangelo. The origins are great. I don't see how you can't love the new version. Enemies make interesting plot points especially shredder. I love the rivalry between splinter and shredder. I love the original intro and the new one. New one, has lots to love about it, mostly having to do with the action, comedy, and the amazing Ninja skills. I do like April and Casey, they are unique. I like the style and surroundings of the new version, especially when they go to space. Them saving the earth was a great special, but them having to deal with their without splinter is too intense. I did love the turtles crush and relationships. I only watched a little bit of the live action series
I was pleasantly surprised by the 2012 Turtles. I love their more individual physical styles, the art style is different but still nice (unlike some cough Be cool Scooby doo cough) the humour is funny, the characters are more complex, their emotions & range is better & spreads across many episodes, it is just way better than I expected.
2003 has the best look and was grittier and more serious. 1987 was great because it was light hearted and fun. I grew up with this version 💚💚💚💚🐢🐢🐢🐢 2012 is a great combination of both The new version as of today (2020) is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
For some reason i didn't kniw there was a vid called tmnt 2012 i found it somehow in maybe a TV channel or from yt i didn't love any shows in my life but tmnt 2012 got me soooo interested how mikey and donnie are cute. The edit is even underrated of 2012 And about the TMNT real ones.. Nononono🙄 Leo has been lazy now Ralph's the leader that's totally.. - Btw waht makes TLNT 2012 the greatest show ever is it slowly turning into a comic and i like how tmnt is a comic this waht made mz interested in the show. Any time im going to watch TMNT. Me. : smiles the biggest smile - Also TMNT 2012 is all about " action, comedy, comics, the heart, fantasy, and more" Wow 0w0 i wish nickelodeon would make more 2012 tmnt not all the other tmnt even the new one... I cryed so hard and kept talking to myself - But i look creepy smiling - 2012 TMNT forever!
I also really like the 2012 one better but the other ones before that were also really good and I would definitely prefer them over the new one. I kinda liked the intro but then I got bored...
I wish everyone would stop hating on the Michael Bay movies, if people would stop moaning about the designs of the show and give them a chance they might be surprised at how good they are. It seems like every time a new series or movie comes out in this franchise people complain about how different it looks or how it just isn't the same. But the fun thing about the turtles franchise is that it doesn't have to be the same, it was confirmed that all of the turtles exist in a giant turtleverse as such meaning that they still exist within every continuity but in different realities. I think 2k3 Raphael said it best, 'The more things change, the more things stay the same'.( I think that was the episode Touch and Go in season 3). Anyway, my point is, the turtles change with the times they're teenagers that have been 15 for the last 35 years and their ever changing story is rooted within the same formula so give the new material a chance and stop hating on it for no particularly good reason. Unless you have a good reason.
Everyone here seems has no idea what is a children's TV show in the 80's, a big poster on the wall of the kids room, and a Nintendo cartridge with TMNT. The 1987 series made the Turtles a world class franchise without internet or global TV channel. Everything after (even closer to the original comic) is just the echo of the real BANG that was created in the late 80's!
I don't know, man - everybody seems either not to have seen the 87 version because they weren't even born by that time or they have seen and don't like it which is, honestly, something I cannot fathom.
Popularity does not equal quality. The only thing the 80s series has going for it nowadays is the theme song. The 2003 and 2012 shows are objectively better written, which is what matters most.
Not to mention the '00's TMNT show runners seemed to embarrassed by the original 80's TMNT so much that they decided to patronize them and the fans by making them look meek and cry babies.The TMNT of the 2012 series on the other hand did not feel that way,instead,they paid proper respects by making old TMNT characters seem vicious like Rocksteady and the "original" TMNT look competent and not cry babies and even had a bit of fun with noticing that modern day Donatello is voiced by the same guy that voice Raphael in the original series! Yes I love the Nickelodeon and do not much like the 00's show because of their patronizing us like they did.
The guy who created the TMNT in the first place made the '00's. Have you read the original comics? The '00's series is the closest to that while still being original.
What other shows should we cover on Then VS. Now?!
you should do Adventure time!
ChannelFrederator teen titans

Can you please cover Doraemon please??!!!??!!
TMNT 1987 - The Humor
TMNT 2003 - The Action
TMNT 2012 - The Heart

I never knew Tmnt 2012 back then when I was born in 2013, until 2022.
What I love about the look of the 2012 series Turtles is that each of them is very different from the other. In the 1987 and 2003 incarnations we basically had four matching turtles who could only be told apart from each other by the color of their bandanas.
The 2012 series gave each of them a different look, in episodes like "Slash and destroy" and "within the woods" we see the guys without their bandanas and you can still see who is who.
Raphael - Has a small, blocky shaped head, a wide neck and cracks in both his upper and lower shell, height-wise he's also the shortest of the four but also the most muscular.
Michelangelo - Slightly taller than Raph, has big a more rounded face on a slimmer neck and big, round eyes which perfectly matches his happy-go-lucky character.
Donatello - Tallest of the four, almost a full head taller than Raph. He's also the slimmest in built, his head is more elongated than the others which gives him that Nerdy look to match his character. And then there's the offset gap in his teeth.
Leonardo - Probably the most neutral looking of all of them, body-wise he's inbetween Raph and Mikey, having the muscles of the former with the more rounded look of the latter.
Karai was actually in the 2003 series. Why does everyone say she was introduced in the 2012 series?
I know. It's irritating.
Sebastian Quintero She was better in 2003. She became the Shredder!
And ppl say that Casey Jones was also introduced in the 2012 series when he was also in the '03 series. The only newest members in the 2012 series are Renet, Shinigami.
Renett was in the 2003 series too.
(In the original comics as well)
flyroc64 how come she never showed up in the series? They didn't even mention her name in the series so I don't think she was in the 03 series.
2012 is the best show, but that doesn't mean the 87 and 2003 shows aren't good either (all three animated shows has had a bad arc occur)

They did not meet 2003 or Mirage, only 87.

2003 was my life, but I LOVE the 2012 and am super bummed about it coming to an end...again. The 2012 just has the whole package to me from comic, anime, and a vast amount of homages to It's past and even the latest film. It is the most unique and original (in my opinion)
2003 Turtles was the best! It was dark and gritty. One of its greatest strengths was how badass the Shredder was!
I love all of them!! 2012 is my favorite one.
Film Fangirls same
Exactly my feelings too!
Okay I see were this comment section is going, so I'm just going to throw my hat into the ring. The 2012 version is the best in opinion. It has a good balance of humor and seriousness that doesn't not feel as jarring when they switch from one another. I was at first skeptical on the art style and the animation but after a few episodes you get use t the look and it isn't that bad. The fight scene a gorgeous and super slick with it's animation. REALLY THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. I grew up with the 2003 version and I still like it and without it and the 1989 version we would still have turtles, but this is a good blend of both.
YEAH!!! :D XD
Jazztoons yeah, I agree with you completely. While the art design isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, the animation makes up for it. Seriously, the animators are incredible whenever an action scene's required.
You can tell they really love and care about what they are doing. ^^
Exactly
Nah.
IMO The 2012 Version is My Favourite Version. I just prefer The Story Arcs (E.g Super Shredder) and It made me say "I actually Feel Bad For Bebop and Rocksteady". The Show just feels more Unique than The Others.
The 2003 tmnt was so dark that in one episode 3 of the turtles except for Donatello died
Duckmanlovesyou In the reboot, Yoshi AND Saki die about three times each. The turtles each at least twice.
Duckmanlovesyou umm haha lol 2012 is worse
They killed off Splinter, Shredder, Fish-Face, And Razar
Not only that but they had a Non-Canon Ark set in the future where the entire human race died, Raph got Amnesia, Leo got dragged up, Donatello died, and Mikey was isolated from society
@Paul Gilbert And it's done better in my opinion
The 80's TMNT cartoon will always be best in my opinion.
Not according to the children in the comments who were not born when that show aired. They say the later ones are best.
@@NirnBootMod That's their opinion isn't it. 😉
2012 All the way! Even though I grew up on the 2003... Tmnt 2012 is so much funnier and serious at the same time. Although I do like all three I'd have to go with 2012
My opinion: I love the 2012 the most~~!!!!
If we're talking generally and drop all the things about being best and that stuff, then it doesn't matter which incarnation they are from.
We people in the fandom didn't fall in love with 1987, 2003 or 2012 in specifically. We fell in love with TMNT like the whole basic of it. Turtles: family, action, humor that was what we fell in love with.
I love the whole TMNT fandom no matter which year they are from.....But I can't deny I favorise the 2003 though xD It's too amazing, I still scream every once in awhile at the most epic scenes (All the scenes are epic, but ya know what I mean)💞💞💞
Without TMNT 2012 I wouldn't be the TMNT fan I am today
Imo 2003 had the best shredder. yes Uncle phill, and the latest shredder are good but without nostalgia for the late Uncle phill the 2003 Shredder was threatening. We saw him get stabbed (lived) his head cut off (lived), find out he is a alien yet still without his exo suit kicks butt and is menacing (lived) banished in a exile icey world (lived) comes back in Turtles Forever and nearly takes out every known TMNT timeline/other-world to which took 87's comic turtles, and 2003 turtles along with the 87's villains to stop him.
Not to mentioned he killed many people on and off screen, this shredder took apart minions (mainly stockman that is reduced to a BRAIN), and felt like a true threat to the Turtles. (this is also not counting the Tain Qul Shredder who is a demon!!!!)
Plus I say while yes the 2003 was action heavy it had a lot of humor, sad moments, showing each character in their own environment, and this Splinter was a mix of wise yet using his teachings for modern times for the turtles to understand. Plus battle nexus we find out Splinter was fighting aliens LONG before we ever saw Aliens hahahahahaha.
I think 2012 is the best iteration. The other Shredders either have no personality or are dumb.
I don't want that 2018 reboot to happen; I've made ideas for a sixth season.
Grady Adair tell me
The art style is the same as Teen Titans Go!, horrible.
itsyafrendIza the art style is completely different
I don’t like how they did with Leo it like making another mikey
Thank you for giving the 2003 turtles some credit
2012 reboot needs more love!!
Carrie McCaig it has lots of love (helps that it airs on Nickelodeon)
Carrie McCaig Yes! Nickelodeon isn't showing enough TMNT at all!
there's gonna be a 2018 reboot called rise of the tmnt
GuadalupeHer1221@Gmail.com GudalupeHer1221@Gmail.com your right I am in 2018 April I am watching it
#bringback2003tmnt
YES
BlackmarketGaming I am a 2012 fan but I don't mind if you want to bring the 2003 turtles back, I'd actually watch the show 🙂
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, sadly. Why? 4K!DS is dead.
#BRINGBACK2012TMNT
BlackmarketGaming umm no not at the expense of the 2012 Series
2012 was woke
people complaining about the new ninja turtles look never saw the live action series
2012 turtles are decent but my problem with them is while it is very 87's feel mix with their own thing. Taking Casey and April to be teens, mix with Don falling for April was a bit much. That was not very needed at all. Not to mention the whole a major let down is the Mutiongin bomb not having enough background other than what is given. those Still image shots of Leo pushing the others off is what really got to me. However not much else is shown in that Art style. Nor do we see the characters talk or feel pain/loss in the future end of the world episode.
However the 2003 turtles while they don't show the past battles that lead to two characters demise before hand, you can feel the loss, you then see what the cost was when you see the other turtles all beat up for over 30 years.
I mean there more differences for 2012 I love differences in 2012
Next mutation
I really enjoy the 2012 reboot and I would love to get some replies on my comment on why mostly everyone thinks 2003 is better. Just curious and would like to know, is all.
Unicorn Blood Both are great.
star lord 54 Yeah but most don't think that way.
Unicorn Blood Both have their ups and downs.
Helena Chávez Everyone has a different opinion. I also enoy the 2003 version.
Fans think 2003 is a masterpiece and they have that nostalgic feelings. Honestly I love 2012 a lot more than 2003 because they do a lot more action, references, and has an amazing voice cast
I remembered watching the first show when it aired in 1987 as a 9 year old kid! There was nothing better that getting up on Saturday morning, grabbing a bowl of Captain Crunch, and sitting in front of the TV watching the Turtles. There was no better time to be a kid!! The 80's and 90's were the best times ever!!!
TMNT 2012 is the best IMO! :D
The 2012 version is way better, imo. The 2003 version is really good too, but the intro is just ok. The first one is just... I don't want to trigger people, but atleast I'll say that the intro is nice. While 2012 has one of the best cartoon intros in my opinion and actually good CGI. The plot may be a bit over the place when they're in space, but it's still good.
Dude Tmnt 2003 had several intros
Hell Nah I couldn't stand the 03 intro. The tune was alright, but the lyics are... Um...
"Mutant chain reaction - turtles- living underground! With ninjitsu action - turtles - IT'S A SHELL OF A TOOOOWN!" sounds like its advertising a kids meal with a toy or something.
The ONE thing I'll give it, the role call was clever. It was a cool way to tell us about the turtles without having to name drop them
- Live by code of martial arts(honer, leo) Never fight unless someone else starts (strategy, donny) always stick together no matter what (heart, mikey) and if all else fails it's time to kick butt!(attitude, raph)
... Then they completely ruined it with some half assed lyrics just to give a more genaric role call
- Leonardo is always in control... The wise guy is... Michaelangelo... Donatello is the brains of the bunch... And you can expect Raphael to THROW THE FIRST PUNCH!
It's just... Forced.
Good CGi? Lol. Yeah right.
Stephendw I mean.. It IS a kid show. Obviously they tried making it more catchy.
@@Jesterclown17 I saw the lyrics and went... "I dont remember those lyrics" so I went to look at the intro... Turns out I saw the turtles in Spanish and they have different lyrics xD
Finally, someone acknowledges the 2003 series
Kids: 2012
Adults: 2003
It's not a diss in any way, I'm just saying that the majority of either shows fans will be younger or older depending which one they saw first. The first ninja turtles you watch will always be your favorite atleast for most.
M I was a kid when the 2003 version came out and a teenager in the 2012 version. I’m now 22 and my favorite version is 2012. Now, if you were talking about rise that came out much later, it would have made more sense. It’s 2020, most 2012 fans aren’t kids anymore.
2012 is the best im gonna miss it cause its ending on november 12th
I LOVE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles they are the best!!
Am I seriously the only one who prefers the 1987 one? Guys.
2012-2017 is my favorite cause it's the only one i watched XD
hi Alyssa... I have this ship for Cade...it comes with a free plate of chocolate covered spinach...😜
then Vs now:
transformers, g.I. Joe, thundercats, masters of the universe, voltron, super friends, loony Toons...
I'm thirty two years ago and I can't comprehend the awe struck joy and enthusiasm over the 2012 version.
107 Facts About MEGAS XLR
Pretty good show. I can fix this.
Nice!
I grew up with the 2003 show and even had all the games too. It'll always be my favorite since it is so close to my childhood.
2012 is The Best with Drama, Every Nickelodeon have a Drama & Dark.
Like:
-All Grown Up.
-As Told By Ginger have Teen Drama.
-Rocket Power.
-The Wild Thornberrys Movie have Drama Genre.
-Avatar The Last Airbender.
-The Legend of Korra.
-TMNT 2012 all episodes have a Drama Too.
And i knew i was right.
Alvin Hatza Soesedyono I could not understand what you said
I miss avatar
@@hondoohnakaproductions We all do
OMG thank you so much for making this! I started with the 03 tmnt
TMNT 2012 will always be the best
It was dark, funny, cute, engaging
And the storytelling was on point, I mean Splinter died and the Turtles lost for a long time
2003 is the best cuz its amazingly developed, sticking with comics, shredder was scary, foot ninjas were scary, elite foot guards were chilling, the show was full of emotions, it had serious drama. But I guess that for younger people 2012 are best. 2003 vs 2012, I think i know who wins, but most important is personal liking💙
I believe the 2012 version is about to end then again It kind of already has they already defeated shredder and Lost splinter they even stopped shredders revival if you ask me it's already ended
2003 is my favorite, it had the best action, plot, and the characters feel more realistic and the colors just pop.
2012 Casey is the worst represantation of Casey Jones. He causes more problems to the turtles and is even dumber then Mikey in the 2012 Ninja Turtles series. I always prefer the 2003 series as my go to TMNT animated series to watch.
2012 Series Casey is the best. With April and Casey being a teen aswell, they connect wih the Turtles more. Casey connects with Mikey and Raph, while April connects with Don and Leo
Talking about April in new version, totally forgot about psychic powers
TMNT 2012 is what I would watch all the time
I miss 1987 raph
And also i read the comic of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman/TMNT 2012.
I actually watched all of them with my little cousin, he LOVED them so much. He actually liked the 2012 reboot a lot more, and so did I
Tmnt 2012 is the greatest show I had ever seen!!! Why was it rebooted?! WHY!!!!!!
Man dont i feel old....i grew up watching the 1987 version as a kid...and to me, that was the best one
1987 needs more love cuz it is best so far
Man, i grew up watching tmnt 2012. My favourite character was raphael. He was always so ANGRY and i LOVED IT!!!
80s is the best even tho I only 12 but it is all to my uncle who got me into TMNT
Awesome, 2012 TMNT isn't bad actually, though I'd prefer April to be 18 in college, along with KC, simply because they're technically still TEEN.
Look CN! This reboot is amazing!
The 2012 is a true MASTAPEICE
Take notes, CN.
This is how you do a reboot.
The 2003 TMNT is truly the best one because it mainly brought every aspect of the comic to life. And that's why the show is known as Mirage TMNT and the creators of the comics had their hands in everything to make this animated series amazing. If you a big fan of the 2003 show please if you have time make sure you read the Mirage comic books. You would be totally amazed on how they got everything right and the dialogue that was in the books was in the show on certain episodes word for word.
2003 was the best
YES!
I agree with you :) I grew up with the 2003 three version :)
Jessica Morrow fast forward and back to the Sewer was good too especially with the Cyber Shredder
Yeah! I agree with you :) I'm actually re-watching the whole series and I just began fast forward
I like the newer one
I love the 2012 and 2003 versions. The 2012 got me into tmnt and I'm rewatching the 2012 and 2003 both. I LOVE THIS SHOW
It is never explained how Master Splinter survived without a paying job BEFORE he met the Turtles.
say what you will about the 2012 tmnt but i love it mainly because the show seems to take aspects from almost every tmnt continuity and places them all together
eg. some design aspects of the turtles ie the belt designs were taken from the 1990's movie
the back story and aspects of the comedy was influenced by the 1987 cartoon ie splinter being hamato yoshi and having a long rivalry with the shredder (which is done way better in this show than the 87 series fight me)
some stories such as the first fight with shredder or return to new York are taken from the comics and the fact that they use there weapons unlike the 87 cartoon (they even made fun of that in this show)
2003 TMNT is the best
whats so special with the 2003 what do they do?
i agree
NO NO I DONT AGREE
Gamer Enchanted #hatersgonnahate
U HATER I SRSLY WATCH ALL OF THE 2003 EPISODES THEY ARE NOT ACTION THEY JUST PLAY AROUND 2012 WAY BETTER THEY ARE VERY ACTION
I was exposed to TMNT by the 2012 cartoon and I fell in love with it from the first two episodes. It honestly motivated me into creating my own characters that soon developed into creating a whole new fantasy world. It fueled my creative mind and led me to where I am today. I give it so many thanks.
I know the Nick cartoon has its faults; I felt the romance was too forced at times, certain plots had multiple holes (Timothy/Pulverizer), certain characters were barely tolerable and much more. But that doesn't make me love it any less. It holds a special place in my heart and I'm more than willing to watch through the 2003 series if I ever get the time.
It kinda upsets me seeing the division in fans over which series is superior. I believe every incarnation has its strengths and weaknesses, but the Turtles themselves are what brought fans together, whether it be for the humor, the cheekiness, the action, and/or the passion. We're all bonded by our love for these four turtle brothers and I hope that bond continues strong with the 2018 reboot (or we can band together to hate it if it fails).
2003 is best TMNT
Near haha no
@Paul Gilbert 2012 is far from a sell out. It's my personal favorite series.
I like the 2012 best in my own opinion, I didn't want to see it go but its gone godbless 2012 2003 and older TMNT shows.
swing swong your opinion is wrong.
@@greategretpictures wow well.......
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles, obviously I grew up with the Nickelodeon version.
I love those brothers, splinter, and April.
I love the action, catchphrases, villains, and personalities.
The show gives you something special.
2017, definitely has captured my heart, the animation is amazing.
I like Michaelangelo.
The origins are great.
I don't see how you can't love the new version.
Enemies make interesting plot points especially shredder.
I love the rivalry between splinter and shredder.
I love the original intro and the new one.
New one, has lots to love about it, mostly having to do with the action, comedy, and the amazing Ninja skills.
I do like April and Casey, they are unique.
I like the style and surroundings of the new version, especially when they go to space.
Them saving the earth was a great special, but them having to deal with their without splinter is too intense.
I did love the turtles crush and relationships.
I only watched a little bit of the live action series
I wonder who that boy was that dropped the turtles I wish he would make an appearance as an adult
2012 tmnt is, and most likely will always be, my favorite tmnt! The characters finally feel like actuall teenagers!
Mikey is my favorite! :3
I LOVE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! THE OLD ONE AND THE ONE OF THE 2012
I was pleasantly surprised by the 2012 Turtles. I love their more individual physical styles, the art style is different but still nice (unlike some cough Be cool Scooby doo cough) the humour is funny, the characters are more complex, their emotions & range is better & spreads across many episodes, it is just way better than I expected.
2003 has the best look and was grittier and more serious.
1987 was great because it was light hearted and fun. I grew up with this version 💚💚💚💚🐢🐢🐢🐢
2012 is a great combination of both
The new version as of today (2020) is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
For some reason i didn't kniw there was a vid called tmnt 2012 i found it somehow in maybe a TV channel or from yt i didn't love any shows in my life but tmnt 2012 got me soooo interested how mikey and donnie are cute. The edit is even underrated of 2012
And about the TMNT real ones..
Nononono🙄
Leo has been lazy now Ralph's the leader that's totally.. -
Btw waht makes TLNT 2012 the greatest show ever is it slowly turning into a comic and i like how tmnt is a comic this waht made mz interested in the show. Any time im going to watch TMNT. Me. : smiles the biggest smile -
Also TMNT 2012 is all about " action, comedy, comics, the heart, fantasy, and more"
Wow
0w0 i wish nickelodeon would make more 2012 tmnt not all the other tmnt even the new one... I cryed so hard and kept talking to myself -
But i look creepy smiling -
2012 TMNT forever!
I also really like the 2012 one better but the other ones before that were also really good and I would definitely prefer them over the new one. I kinda liked the intro but then I got bored...
Dude, wait a minute! I didn't realize that in the TMNT movies, they wore pants!
I wish everyone would stop hating on the Michael Bay movies, if people would stop moaning about the designs of the show and give them a chance they might be surprised at how good they are. It seems like every time a new series or movie comes out in this franchise people complain about how different it looks or how it just isn't the same. But the fun thing about the turtles franchise is that it doesn't have to be the same, it was confirmed that all of the turtles exist in a giant turtleverse as such meaning that they still exist within every continuity but in different realities. I think 2k3 Raphael said it best, 'The more things change, the more things stay the same'.( I think that was the episode Touch and Go in season 3). Anyway, my point is, the turtles change with the times they're teenagers that have been 15 for the last 35 years and their ever changing story is rooted within the same formula so give the new material a chance and stop hating on it for no particularly good reason. Unless you have a good reason.
One of the only good reboots
I love TMNT all around, even the new live action movies. It's been with me since I was kid and it always will be
The 87 turtles are my turtles :)
03 was the TMNT for me. Always will be.
Everyone here seems has no idea what is a children's TV show in the 80's, a big poster on the wall of the kids room, and a Nintendo cartridge with TMNT. The 1987 series made the Turtles a world class franchise without internet or global TV channel. Everything after (even closer to the original comic) is just the echo of the real BANG that was created in the late 80's!
I don't know, man - everybody seems either not to have seen the 87 version because they weren't even born by that time or they have seen and don't like it which is, honestly, something I cannot fathom.
Popularity does not equal quality. The only thing the 80s series has going for it nowadays is the theme song. The 2003 and 2012 shows are objectively better written, which is what matters most.
I did watch a couple 2012 episodes with my cousin on tv a few weeks ago
2003 version rules no arguments
I love Turtles Forever
Which character is everyone's favorite? Mine was always Leonardo :)
Jessica Morrow Raph, Leo, Don, then Mikey.
Solid choices :)
donnie! ♥
Shredder.
Raphael
2012 Had the perfect Characters,it had The perfect Emotion for the right characters and the Characters Looked GREAT! I love 2012 More then the others.
Not to mention the '00's TMNT show runners seemed to embarrassed by the original 80's TMNT so much that they decided to patronize them and the fans by making them look meek and cry babies.The TMNT of the 2012 series on the other hand did not feel that way,instead,they paid proper respects by making old TMNT characters seem vicious like Rocksteady and the "original" TMNT look competent and not cry babies and even had a bit of fun with noticing that modern day Donatello is voiced by the same guy that voice Raphael in the original series! Yes I love the Nickelodeon and do not much like the 00's show because of their patronizing us like they did.
The 2003 series has good moments. The crappy out of character 87 turtles in Turtles Forever was not one of them.
The guy who created the TMNT in the first place made the '00's. Have you read the original comics? The '00's series is the closest to that while still being original.
You know I only ever saw the original TMNT movies and the 2003 version but after this I think I'll try out the 2012 version.
2012 was the best no cap
Utroms guys not Ultroms lol
Age of Utroms lol
