@Jinaria Even back in the 90s I wished for a TMNT cartoon with a harder edge. Especially after I saw the 1st movie. The Red Sky episodes were a good start but not nearly enough. The 2003 show fulfilled my wish in spades.
Agreed only downside was that I felt he was a little overpowered compared to the other turtles Imo they should have had him be more of a jack of all trades to better balance the team - Second smartest to Don - Second strongest to Ralph - Second most gifted to Mikey
@@FalconFlyer75 I think that is what was done, though it can be kind of easy to miss. 00:40 demonstrates it best. Leonardo trains the most so what he has is well-earned but for the other turtles it is extremely easy as it comes natural to them. I think the point that is made repeatedly throughout the series as well is if Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo trained as much as Leonardo does they would definitely be well beyond his level. This especially goes for Michelangelo who is already so naturally talented.
I love that you can genuinely tell they enjoy being together. Like, they actively chose to hang out with each other and be a family on both a bigger and smaller scale. They literally fight demons to save each other and break the laws of time and space to get their family back together, but hey, playing video games together and going skateboarding on roof tops doesn’t sound too bad either.
0:43 Leo: Your reign of terror is over Stockman Mikey: You been practicing that? Leo: You like it? I love that part. Not only cause Leo’s such a badass but because I love the little brotherly admiration that Mikey shows Leo.
I think this show is the best at showing their dynamic. 2012 is a little too much about the fights and just being a team, while rise is mainly just about them having fun and being bros. 2003 has a perfect balance of the two.
@@ijionclifton9148 It is, ofc they’re a loving family and it shows. I just meant Rise shows that side of the franchise more and is more about family moments than fights and ninjutsu. It’s just my opinion tho, ofc.
2003 TMNT is severely underrated, I mean, look at these goofballs 😭✨✨ How can you not smile at them??? Although, I cant believe the "RAPHIEE, WEVE GOT TROUBLE DOWN HERE" line isnt here, I love that line sm ☹️😩✨
Saaame That line was so sweet, even if they were in a dangerous situation at the time I absolutley loved it when they called Raph 'Raphie' It was the most adorable thing ever Even Raph himself called himself Raphie (well Mr Raphie lol)in one episode
@@xtorterraxgreymonx12ahh38Agree. But nowadays many people tend to forget or ignore about it. Only ones from early 2000s and late 1990s tends to know about this good show. Which is quite sad, since it is the only TMNT show that is also more faithful to original Mirage Comics series.
Leo: So what we need is someone smart, capable and techno savvy enough to get in, find the alarm cut off and cut it off Mikey: Me Leo: No 😂😂😂 AH I love this show and their brotherly relationship so much Leo being silly at times brought me so much joy Raph with his 'peachy' had me cracking up with laughter. In fact a lot of what Raph came out with in '03 had me rolling and I love how protective he could be Donnie and his puppet was so random but I loved it And Mikey just being his adorable self and throwing marshmallows at Raphie
Honestly the best version of TMNT and the one I grew up with. 2012 and Rise was fine but they couldn't compare to this one for me. I used to watch this on Jetix/4Kids. Good times, man.
The pigeon trick is actually taken from the original Mirage Comic 1984, when they break in to TCRI. And that is one reason why i hold the 2003 version so highly. They took some original storylines from Mirage and put them in the show. And they did it good.
“I don’t know what bothers me more:” the fact that this show is so underrated, or the fact the turtles have eyes that make them look like dead Violet Harmon 😂😂😂
You forgot the clip where Mikey makes a stuffed animal in Raph’s likeness and carries it around during battle. It’s so cute watching him hero worship his older brother
@@galaxy_kitten95I see it as a weird combo of hero worshipping and being annoying like he’s doing it to annoy his big brother but deep down it’s really because he admires him
I have a soft spot for the original 87 series, but the thing they missed, which the 2003 got perfectly, was that (as said in the theme song) they're teenage brothers. They act like teenage brothers. Even referring to each other by nicknames illustrates this.
Notice how Don is always the one that's the first to grab on ledges and the others just grab onto his legs? They do moments like that a few times of the series and I can't help but wonder if that's a strain on him. Either that or he's the strongest Turtle.
1:34 Casey: "I give you 10!"
Leo: "Hey Raph, only a 6?"
Raph: "Bro, it's all I got!"
I laugh at that part every time. Cause I’m always saying out loud “Leo you guys only have 3 fingers! Duh” Never gets old

Well to be fair this series came out 7 years after the original series and fans of the older series weren’t too happy about this one at the time

The way Donnie RUNS around the fire to join the fight immediately after

Underrated? Besides nostalgia, the 2003 series is usually held as the best incarnation of the turtles. At least from what ive seen.

that last clip proves why Mikey is the best, he's very crazy in that episode
They all just give random compliments that I love
In my opinion both this show and the 2012 greatly show the brotherly bond the turtles have .
I love both shows. :)

@@tobsonasanya4765 I disagree
@@ijionclifton9148 in terms of brother relationships it does

The best series. Turtles were given distinct personalities, voices, moves, colours.... real dynamics.
Leo: So what we need is someone smart, capable and techno savvy enough to get in, find the alarm cut off and cut it off
Mikey: Me
Leo: No
😂😂😂
AH I love this show and their brotherly relationship so much

Raph with his 'peachy' had me cracking up with laughter. In fact a lot of what Raph came out with in '03 had me rolling and I love how protective he could be
Donnie and his puppet was so random but I loved it
And Mikey just being his adorable self and throwing marshmallows at Raphie
Raph with a marshmallow for a nose is the most hilarious thing ever
03Don’s pigeon puppet and 12Raph’s trained pigeons is top tier comedy potential.
The bird puppet is literally from the original comic and I love it so much 😂
Honestly the best version of TMNT and the one I grew up with. 2012 and Rise was fine but they couldn't compare to this one for me. I used to watch this on Jetix/4Kids. Good times, man.
These guys rule! TMNT 2003 is the best!
I don’t care what anyone says, the '03 tmnt serie will always be special to me. It was my childhood and I love it with all my heart
Even though Raph is a hot head he still cares and loves his brothers.
They annoy each other but they still love one another. Yep, they're are brothers.
2:23 what?! 😂
Ok, now I gotta watch this version!
you HAVE TO
Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Yeah please do. It’s the best one
I've only seen the 2012 version, and they do a similar thing but with an actual pigeon lol, loving the consistency

Best version of tmnt, change my mind
Do you know what I like about all versions of TMNT? brotherly relationship dynamics, it's so priceless🤧
I have a soft spot for the original 87 series, but the thing they missed, which the 2003 got perfectly, was that (as said in the theme song) they're teenage brothers. They act like teenage brothers. Even referring to each other by nicknames illustrates this.
The 2003 version is what actually got me into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Raph may be a hothead at times, but he will always be my favorite.
hope to see more of these, it's adorable ^v^
03 Tmnt was the best!
The way Ralph spits and says peachy gets me every time
Love this series
Leonardo is my favorite turtle
no because why is it so wholesome
2:20
Donnie: (Silent…..)😶 Nice…. (Donnie’s mind: what flowing locks?
This show was cute and awesome
Mikey Acts so much like a baby in the boat part
I laughed so hard at the marshmallows WTf they act like siblings so well
They are siblings they all have a wonderful brotherhood relationship.💙❤💜🧡
More like Being the BEST and funniest Bros. 😄
Raphael is the cutest. Talk about heartthrob.
See Marvel?! This is why we like characters that just get along with each other!
Compared to Greg Cipes portrayal this Mikey seems almost normal. I think a part of me died saying that.
2012 Mikey is so overrated! It's ridiculous!
3:00 is my favorite part
there was NO hesitation on that “no” 😂
