The tmnt didn’t grow up like Americans they grew up with a very disciplined upbringing, and that’s what made them so cool. It’s cool to incorporate American teen personality into them to be relatable but it doesn’t work if you lean to far into that
The episode from the 2003 series where Leo comes back beaten and broken after trying to fight Shredder's Elite Foot clan members on his own is one of my earliest memories of feeling genuine dread and fear for a fictional character. And then immediately after that, having the Foot clan attack April's place and force the Turtles to escape the city did such a great job of building up the Foot clan as a threat. One of my favourite moments from all the shows I watched as a kid.
Maybe not my favorite part of the entire franchise, but I absolutely adored Splinter's action scene in Mutant Mayhem. It felt like it was acted by Jackie in his prime, which leads me to believe it was either choreographed by him or people who love him.
My personal favorite moment in the entire franchise is probably the duel between Raph and Leo in TMNT (2007), I’ve always had a soft spot for that movie despite its flaws. I always found their conflict the best part of the film, the fight choreography is solid, and North’s and Taylor’s performances really stand out!
My favorite TMNT moment is from Splinters death in the 2012 series. I know it’s talked about a lot, but I love how they genuinely played the scene straight, no jokes, no funny one liners, just a true emotionally raw scene. And Michelangelo’s reaction was devastating.
My favorite TMNT moment was in the first live action movie when Splinter talks to Raphael about his anger. As a kid, I had pretty bad anger issues and would lash out. So seeing a father figure like character actually talk to his son about his anger really resonated with me.
Leonardo learning how to be a good leader in rise of the tmnt movie. His arc in that film overall was really satisfying. And watching his growth come together towards the end of the movie felt like a great payoff.
My favorite moments are usually from the 2003 series. When our heroes are talking with normal people and no one freaks out about them. Like when Donnie talks science with a homeless man. Or when Raph sat and talked with a blind woman. Really wish we got more moments like that in later incarnations.
My favourite moment comes from 2012 when Leo goes to take the Stealth Bike with Raph saying “the stealth bikes my thing” Leo says “now your thing is sucking it up” with donnie stating “hey, that’s my thing!” I just really love the chemistry they have in that moment and it makes them feel really grounded with how they bounce off of each other like brothers
I absolutely ADORE the fact that creators are leaning into raph just being a grappler and just grabbing and slamming anyone he can get his hands around, even this relatively unimposing raph
My favorite on screen Turtles moment actually happened in the new movie. I loved watching New York help the Turtles take down Superfly. Especially Splinter’s reaction to that initially super shaded original New Yorker who came into the light to help him up. :) I love when superhero movies do the “civilians band together to help the hero” thing. It makes me think of the end of the original Raimi Spider-Man bridge scene with Goblin. “YOU GONNA PICK ON A GUY TRYNA SAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS?”
This is mostly from recent memory but when (in the rise of the tmnt movie) Leo tricks Krang to be trapped in his dimension and even though Leo was being beaten a pulp imo near death he only thought about his family but along with his family also thinking about him causing Mikey,Raph,and Donnie to use their love and support to bring someone of their family back. Tbh this scene still makes me cry its really touching.
My favourite TMNT moment is the Leo Vs. Ralph fight from the 2007 movie. The tension between the two mixed with the dark gritty atmosphere really makes it the most memorable scene from any TMNT production.
My favorite moment hands down is from the 1990 movie and it’s the campfire scene where Splinter’s spirit appears. His “I love you all my sons” line gets me everytime. And seeing Mikey cry after blowing off splinters warning before about having to be able to handle living without him. It’s just so good and I love meaningful moments between the turtles and splinter so that has to me my favorite for sure
My favourite moment is seeing Krang in live action. Out of the shadows is a real mixed bag for a couple of reasons but the way it embraced the sillier aspects of the franchise brought me back to what I loved like all the creepy fun villains the shows would have and how goofy the turtles can be after years of not watching anything turtles related.
I don't know if this counts but one of my favorite tmnt moments is the Batman vs Shredder fight from the crossover movie. It's just so well choreographed and perfectly characterises each of them, and the way they adapt to each other it's everything I ever wanted ever since I was a kid
This franchise means so much to me. The 2003 Turtles show was the only cartoon that I enjoyed as much as Spider-Man TAS when I was growing up. Just finished rewatching the whole series and it holds up so well. My favorite TMNT moment is probably from the movie, when Raphael returns home from his night out and Splinter sits him down for a talk. That conversation resonated so well with me since I can relate to Raph's intense anger.
My all time favorite TMNT moment has to be when the turtles reunite with their mother in the second Ghostbusters crossover. After every horrible thing that these kids have been through it was nice seeing them finally get to spend a short but special moment with their mother
For me my favorite moment from the Turtles was during the Rise of the TMNT Movie when Ralph saves Leo from the Krang, the lighting, editing, music, and expressions perfectly convey the impact this movement has on Leo, made even stronger when you realize that the last thing they did together was fight. My jaw hit the floor when that piece of Ralph's shell was broken, and the threat of the Krang was further heightened. Whenever I think of the movie I always remember Leo's face when he exited the escape pod, unable to stand and struggling to breath, chills.
I loved the bit in the Rise movie when Leo squared up to Krang on his own in the Rise movie as a final self sacrifice that reflects his gung ho attitude at the beginning of the flick, but juxtaposed by having nothing to prove, rather being a sacrifice play to save both his brothers and the world. And then, what would be a cheap fake out in a lesser story, Michelangelo saving him by unlocking his magic portal powers mere minutes later, explaining how he’ll never give up on his family, I’m crying just thinking about it, 10/10.
I genuinely love how they scored the big car chase to Fabulous Secret Powers of all things. Also not necessarily a Turtle Moment but I saw this in theaters with the girl I just started seeing and it was great as we cuddled up next to each other and watched the film
My favorite TMNT moment has to be the ending of Mutant Apocolypse in 2012. The world is so desolate and all hope is lost, but all four of the turtles find each other and make the best of it. It shows how strong their brotherhood is and it makes for a bittersweet ending
I haven't been too into TMNT, so I would have to say my favorite Turtles moment is this whole movie. It felt like a perfect blend of things that came before it while also doing it's own thing! Absolute 10/10 in my opinion, go watch it if you haven't already.
It’s a 8/10. 1990 movie is still better. April’s design is just ugly and made her fat. Don’t agree with his opinion on April not feeling like a teenager. Rise April was awesome
I think my favorite moment from TMNT is the first live action movie where Donatello tries to talk to Michelangelo about the idea of splinter being gone and of course Michelangelo is focused on the pizza man being late, but I think like everyone else I think it was just Michelangelo trying his best not to think about it and distracting himself because when they do lose splinter, he’s the most emotional about it. That’s my favorite moment
Jackie Chan as Splinter is honestly one of the things I'm most excited to see. I grew up with the 2003 series, that'll always be what comes to mind when I think TMNT. Also 2007 movie. The Leo Vs Raph fight is great both for its action and emotion, but I wanna shoutout the part of the movie where Raph fights the tiny alien. Dude gets flung through a door, hit with a frying pan, and a fridge falls on it. It's a highlight of the movie for me. And not to mention "Black Betty" is playing the whole time lmao
My favorite tmnt moment was in Mutant Mayhem actually when the montage of Splinter learning to be a loving father plays. I always enjoyed Splinter being a wise and proficient samurai rat who treats his sons with respect and honor but something about this Splinter just wanting his kids to come home on time and spending nights watching movies with them and eating pizza is so wholesome and I love this version of the character a lot :)
I think my favorite TMNT moment has to be Leo absolutely going ham in the battle nexus in Rise to rescue Splinter. I loved how you could so clearly see how in control and relaxed Leo is, and it really showed how much potential he would have as a leader if he just grew up and applied himself rather than always slacking off
I really appreciate that the TMNT franchise is a franchise not afraid of taking risks and doing things different. They usually are able to make it work too and this one is no exception.
It is afraid of taking risk if it wasn't afraid of risk we would have a fully faithful comic adaptation on the big screen with nothing from the 80s cartoon
@@jackko21 I think since the 80s cartoon is probably one of the most well known versions of the TMNT if not the most well known everything that sort of sticks to the 80s show is playing it safe. it would be cool to see a fully comic accurate version of the TMNT Mirage comics
Agreed. I am getting a little tired of the safe and boring "superhero" tmnt. I want to see the mirage comics get a proper adaptation at least once. The closet we got to that version was the 2003 tmnt.
I've always loved the fight scene between Leo and Raph in TMNT 2007. The animation was so well down even 15 years later it still looks great. I absolutely adored the Nightwing vs Red Hood feeling of the turtles dynamic in the scene and it made the fight that much more impact full.
My personal favorite tmnt moment is the final battle from the rise movie, Leonardo finally growing and maturing, willing to sacrifice his life to save the world, and you can really feel the build up of raph and Leo’s tension, not just throughout the movie, but just throughout the entirety of rise. Not to mention that the animation is just gorgeous. And krang is such an amazing villain, and the shots they take at each other are actually pretty violent and lethal, like they are really damaged by the end of the fight.
My favorite moment is in the scene in the 1990 movie when Mikey and donatello are talking about what splinter said. It just comes to mind when I think about the movie, I love that scene.
The fact that they actually got teen actors to voice characters was one of the main reasons I was excited for the film. Their handling of teenage kids seems on point.
Yeah the actor that plays Donnie, his voice clearly hasn't dropped yet, since he sounds like a 10 year old. Most 15 year old boys don't sound like that, and it just sounds out of place when the other turtle's voices sound way more mature than Donnie's
I get that donnie has a really high voice but it honestly didn't bother me past the first 5-10 minutes. It's more realistic because not everyone ages at the same pace, also to me they felt more 14 almost 15 or just turned 15 so it makes sense.
when raph goes out on his own in the animated TMNT movie and has the fight in the kitchen with one of the monsters needed for the plot, i love the music choice and how fast paced the animation is. My runner up is when mikey goes sewer boarding after a pizza party (also from the same TMNT movie)
Ah man, I will always remember the moment were jack kirby was in the 2000's TMNT show. Donnie met him and Jack made a whole story and world with his book and they traveled to that world, Man, it was a an awesome episode, it was just so creative and very heartfelt at the same time. I love that man. I also love how creative that episode was too in which it harkins back to his past work. It was really nice.
I'm not super connected to the TMNT fandom, so I don't know how hot of a take this is, but I really liked the 2012 show, my favorite moment being from an early episode where Raph fights a mutated spider dude who keeps pissing him off. In the episode Splinter teaches him about breathing in order to calm himself, pushing the anger out "like a flowing river." I was very emotional as a kid and tended to get angry easily, which some kids liked taking advantage of, so seeing Raph be able to ignore the spider's taunts and stay calm was very inspiring and lowkey actually a great teaching moment for me. Obviously I wasn't immediately cured of my anger issues, but it was a vital first step for me and I'll always be grateful to the show for that.
My favorite tmnt moment would have to be from Mutant Mayhem where the turtles got into their first fight. Even thought they have learned some form of ninjitsu. They haven’t actually fought anyone up to that point. But they managed to pull through and get their first victory. I honestly love how there some back and forth quips while they were fighting.
My favorite moment is when I first saw the 2012 series and noticed that they keep fighting the same thin robots that made weird noises because I watched recordings of it at my dad’s house instead of watching it in order so it made me not fully be able to get in to ninja turtles so now I’ve researched it and plan on watching one of the shows eventually.
Another guy already said this, but the fight with Raph and Leo in TMNT 2007 always stood out to me. It's shockingly emotional and raw considering the movie it's in, and ever since i was 7 I've always remembered the moment Leo knocks his helmet off because it genuinely hurts Leo. I was really into this movie as a kid, and the PS2 tie in game.
Honestly the conversations that this versions of the TMNT have feels very genuine and natural and I really like that the teens would occasionally talk about nerdy stuff.😺
My favorite TMNT moment has to be the elevator scene from the 2014 movie. Not because it’s actually a great scene, but because it’s the only part of what is otherwise a spectacular failure to adapt the Turtles that somewhat understands the brothers’ relationships and why they’re fun to watch.
My favorite moment in TMNT movies is the confrontation between Raph and Leo in the 2007 movie. It is shot beautifully with the lighting and their conversation is absolutely perfect. Another of my favorites is in the IDW comics in issue 100. I don't wanna spoil it but it was such a perfect moment between Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki with a final page that brought me to tears.
My Favorite Moment was the 1990's movie with how the Turtles are at the farm, them at the fireplace, talking to their father thinking that it might be the last time they might ever talk to him. Mike crying is what brings that scene together.
My favorite turtles moment is when Splinter died in the 2012 series i was so sad i literaly cried and when the series ended i cried again with all the main characters watching the sunset and seeing Splinter in the sky
My favorite moment is probably the opening of the first the movie when we first see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the first time I love that scene
Definitely agree on the turtles having an especially under appreciated rogues gallery. One of my favourite moments in the franchise is Mikey’s solo fight with Hun in #54 of the idw books. Definitely one of my favourite fights in all of comics.
My favorite moment has to be in issue 1 of the last Ronin when Mikey fails to infiltrate Oroku Hiroto's base and then just gives up and tries to kill himself. You can feel how tired he is from the pain and guilt of losing his whole family and how badly he wants the nightmare to end. Love the exploration of this part of the character's personality
I love the scenes in the mutant mayhem where they are dreaming of being accepted and find their place in the world. It resonates with a lot of teenagers nowadays
My favorite Turtles moment is in the 2003 series where Leo cuts the Shredders head off. Yeah it doesn't kill him, but it's framed so badass that i love it
My favourite TMNT moment is hands down the Shredder vs. TMNT rooftop fight from the OG TMNT movie, the choreography, the ambience, it all comes together to create an amazing moment
This movie was so terrific!!! Keeping the franchise quality consistently incredible!!! Also very glad the animators were treated well. My favorite tmnt moment is probably idw comics where raph is homeless, sees Casey being beaten by his dad, saves casey, then right after meeting this homeless turtle man Casey invites him to go beat up criminals in an alley
My favorite TMNT moment is the campfire scene from the first live action movie. It's a great scene that goes from being comedic to serious and heartfelt quite nicely. Mikey crying when he had been largely the comedic relief of the movie, not really reacting to Splinter's disappearance like Leo or Raph, was really touching.
My favourite tmnt moment is the argument between Raphael and Leo in the 2007 movie because as a kid I thought the fight was cool but then I had a very similar argument with my best friend because we didn’t go to the same school for a year than I came back and was the leader of the friend group and he protested they shouldn’t be one and if there was he’d leave, then recently I rewatched the movie and cried at this part because it was so relatable
I’m not the most versed turtles fan, only have seen the micheal bay movies, 2012 show, TMNT, some of the comics, and now mutant mayhem, but my favorite moment was definitely the Crime montage of the turtles searching for information on super fly. The animation and music beats made that scene so good!
My favorite TMNT moment has to be them teaming up and then Splinter subsequently clapping Shredder on the rooftop in the first movie. Its so badass in the most contradictingly bizarre way, that perfectly exemplifies what the turtles are to me.
Id say that my favorite moment of the turtles is when everytime they're brought back they always modernized to the point where you can tell what point of time they came from Its nice to see a movie constantly being made for next generation of kids in each new iteration
I think my favorite moment in all of TMNT is the ending of the first IDW comic, when Raph is reunited with Splinter. Just such a wholesome moment and a great way to truly start the run.
my favorite moment from TMNT is the final Shredder fight in the 2012 show. a whole series of buildup to the final awesome fight where the turtles get dope ass black uniforms and Leo decapitates shredder, revenge for Splinter's death and a reference to the 2003 show
The best moment of any TMNT thing for me has got to be the campfire scene in the first movie. The music, the atmosphere, the suit and the chosen expressions from the Henson people, it all works so perfectly.
My favorite TMNT moment is in TMNT (2007) not specifically Raph and Leos fight but right after Leos swords break, When Leo is staring at Raph and Raph is staring back, so much emotion is displayed just in there facial expressions its absolutely beauitful
My favorite turtle moment will always be the four brothers in the first 1990 film meditating and hearing Splinter’s potential final speech. I lost my father as a teenager so this scene always hits home. Having them show emotions was always something that stuck out to me and I obviously empathized with them
Best TMNT movie in my opinion it was amazing definitely going to see it again my favorite TMNT moment was definitely Leo vs Raph on the rooftop because it was a lot of tension between those two and they let it out in a very epic way
Really enjoyed the new movie and was legitimately an actual attempt to revamp and modernize the story of the turtles. Kept the main beats but took it in a new direction and it worked really well and I'm totally down to see where this universe goes. And on a personal note I've always like the 1990s movie Raph being taken out and his family gathering and mourning the acting and emotion presented even through large rubber suits is amazing too me even today. The 2023 film deserves its place in the legacy of the turtles.
My favorite TMNT moment is the turtles talking with Splinter’s spirit in the 1990 movie. It’s such a beautiful and heartbreaking yet heartwarming scene. Especially when the turtles are all crying and are processing their emotions together.
For some reason the moment that's always stuck with me the most is from early in Eastman & Laird's original run of TMNT. It was during a sort of intermission to the story where the turtles, Casey, and April are all in this farmhouse in the middle of nowhere just recuperating from the last big story arc. There's a moment when Leo (I think it was him) was just standing on the roof of the farmhouse, looking into the moonlight, both taking in the quietude of the moment but also mentally preparing for the storm ahead. It was the moment that really made me fall in love with TMNT. I'd seen both the original and 2003 series as well as the movies before, but it was reading that issue of the comic that I had become fully attached to the characters and their world.
If I had to pick a favorite moment, it has to be from the 1990 movie where Raph has his heart-to-heart with Splinter. There's just something about seeing the angry hothead being reduced to tears by his father's kindness that just warms my soul. This also extends to the 2007 movie, TMNT, specifically in the moments after the Raph vs Leo fight. Raph takes Leo's swords and admits guilt to Splinter. Splinter is disappointed,yes, but he helps Raph deal with his emotions because that's his son. TMNT is a franchise about family, both the one you're born into and the one you build along the way. I hope the turtles stay around for a long, long time after we're all gone, because in the right hands, these four are truly timeless.
My favorite moment is the montage where TMNT fights every gang leader to tell him any information of superfly and the action scenes is so superb and the music "no diggity" makes it fit so perfectly
My favorite tmnt moment is in the first movie when they lost and got April’s dad shop burnt down. And seeing them all cope in their own ways. Like Mikey aggressively over exerting himself by training (cut from the movie). Leo keeping a close watch over Raph. And Donnie by helping Casey with fixing the car.
I thought that because the teenage aspect of the characters was so well handled, all the emotional beats hit very well despite the overall comedic tone of the film. (Also my favorite turtle moments are the rise finale, the 2003 leo edgelord arc, and every version of the fight at aprils apartment.)
My favorite TMNT moment is when Casey and Raph meet up in the 2007 movie. Casey immediately recognizes Raph and they tie up a villian while Youth Like Tigers plays in the background. Such a cool scene because it perfectly establishes the friendship the two have always shared and it transitions nicely to a brief heart to heart the two share with each other (even if Raph falls asleep to Casey's venting at the end of the scene). Fantastic review btw.
My favorite moment was Ralph and Leo’s fight in the 2007 TMNT movie. So much drama and tension, beautiful and choreography. Reminds me of the times me and my cousin who used to get into it would fight as kids.
One of my favorite TMNT moments might be 2003 season 3 arc where the turtles travel across time and dimensions. I love those episodes so much, especially SAINW. And the reason of why they were glitching was so shocking for me. I also enjoy how 2003 resembles the Mirage comics much more than other iterations.
Ironically my favourite scene from the turtles is them in the lift from the first live action movie cause it’s such a sweet moment between the brothers despite them looking hideous
My favorite tmnt moment is from the first movie when Mikey, Donny and Leo celebrated their first victory in their lair by having a pizza party and dancing to the song “Tequila”
my favourite TMNT moment is in the first movie when Michelangelo and Donatello are just sitting in the Sewers waiting for the pizza to come and talking. I just like peace of the moment.
My favorite TMNT moment is probably the final action scene in the finale of Rise. It just has so much energy throughout and so many different phases, twists, and turns that it's impossible for me to not love.
The animated TMNT movie from 2007. The argument between leo and raph on the roof. It just felt so real and emotional, it really is a shame that movie never got the sequel it deserved.
Favorite TMNT moment is probably the talk Raphael and Splinter have in the 90's movie. That was my first exposure to the turtles and it's just such a lovingly well put together scene
One of my favorite TMNT moments is when, in Secret Of the Ooze, Keno throws his Pizzas at the robber and he catches him before falling to the ground, pizzas and all!
My favorite moment is from Secret of the Ooze. It's the scene from the beginning of the movie where the turtles fight a bunch of foot soldiers. Donnie looking to the inflatable clown for inspiration and saying yeah in such a funny manner before acting like it will never not be funny.
My favorite moment in any TMNT medium is the origin. I know as the years have gone by there have been a few different interpretations of their backstory, but the overall idea of the turtles being created by mere circumstance is what I like most about it. At the end of the day the turtles are an accident, just like how characters such as Spider-Man, daredevil, The Flash, and the hulk were all accidents. And instead of just hiding themselves away they all chose to make the best out of a crazy/unexplainable situation by using their abilities (in this case, both their mutations and over 15 years of ninja training) to help the world.
My favorite moment of the Tmnt was in the 2003 cartoon Ralph helped a blind old lady and helped her with house cleaning and other things she needed help with, but she soon was gonna get kicked out of her apartment because she couldn’t pay for her rent, but Ralph got money for her to help her out, and that shows that Ralph has a soft spot and a heart
My favorite turtle moment is from the 2012 show where Leo thought he was chosen to be the leader for some wise reason only for splinter to just say because he asked first. It takes the idea the whole Leo is the leader part of him and gives it such a simple reason.
My favorite is in tmnt(2007). When splinter and raph talk after leo is captured. I found it nice how he says that although raph can be his least favorite student, that doesn't mean he's his least favorite son
My favourite TMNT moment was in the 1990 movie when Leo waits for Raph to wake up, because he felt the most responsible for why Raph got hurt in the first place. And then Raph wakes up is just heartwarming.
Perfectly captures the feeling of being teen with angst and anxiety, simply trying to fit in despite their faults.
True true. But in tween form
We’ll I guess Seth Rogen did a better job then Michael bay did
while completely failing to deliver even a Shred(der) of true TMNT nostalgia.
@@SEPHICHI420 I think in the post credit scene, it shows shredder himself so he might appear in a sequel
The tmnt didn’t grow up like Americans they grew up with a very disciplined upbringing, and that’s what made them so cool. It’s cool to incorporate American teen personality into them to be relatable but it doesn’t work if you lean to far into that
The episode from the 2003 series where Leo comes back beaten and broken after trying to fight Shredder's Elite Foot clan members on his own is one of my earliest memories of feeling genuine dread and fear for a fictional character. And then immediately after that, having the Foot clan attack April's place and force the Turtles to escape the city did such a great job of building up the Foot clan as a threat. One of my favourite moments from all the shows I watched as a kid.
Maybe not my favorite part of the entire franchise, but I absolutely adored Splinter's action scene in Mutant Mayhem. It felt like it was acted by Jackie in his prime, which leads me to believe it was either choreographed by him or people who love him.
Splinter fight scenes are always fun. This one was a blast. I loved Jackie Chan in the movie
My personal favorite moment in the entire franchise is probably the duel between Raph and Leo in TMNT (2007), I’ve always had a soft spot for that movie despite its flaws. I always found their conflict the best part of the film, the fight choreography is solid, and North’s and Taylor’s performances really stand out!
Damnit this was gonna be my favorite moment. I love that fight so much, both the action and the emotion. It felt shockingly raw to 7 year old me.
First turtle movie I saw in theaters
My favorite TMNT moment is from Splinters death in the 2012 series. I know it’s talked about a lot, but I love how they genuinely played the scene straight, no jokes, no funny one liners, just a true emotionally raw scene. And Michelangelo’s reaction was devastating.
My favorite TMNT moment was in the first live action movie when Splinter talks to Raphael about his anger. As a kid, I had pretty bad anger issues and would lash out. So seeing a father figure like character actually talk to his son about his anger really resonated with me.
Don’t see how that’s hard. Every time I yell my head hurts
@@dreamsdeep1076 good for you
it hit different man
Leonardo learning how to be a good leader in rise of the tmnt movie. His arc in that film overall was really satisfying. And watching his growth come together towards the end of the movie felt like a great payoff.
My favorite moments are usually from the 2003 series. When our heroes are talking with normal people and no one freaks out about them. Like when Donnie talks science with a homeless man. Or when Raph sat and talked with a blind woman. Really wish we got more moments like that in later incarnations.
Raph and the blind woman is so heart warming. Raph a hero for giving her that money
@@basketballfan23 That was one of my favorite episodes right next to "The King" because I'm a comic nerd and immediatly got that reference
This version of Tmnt is actually wroth it right up there with the 2003 version for me i actually wanna see more 😊😊
My favourite moment comes from 2012 when Leo goes to take the Stealth Bike with Raph saying “the stealth bikes my thing” Leo says “now your thing is sucking it up” with donnie stating “hey, that’s my thing!” I just really love the chemistry they have in that moment and it makes them feel really grounded with how they bounce off of each other like brothers
I absolutely ADORE the fact that creators are leaning into raph just being a grappler and just grabbing and slamming anyone he can get his hands around, even this relatively unimposing raph

My favorite on screen Turtles moment actually happened in the new movie. I loved watching New York help the Turtles take down Superfly. Especially Splinter’s reaction to that initially super shaded original New Yorker who came into the light to help him up. :) I love when superhero movies do the “civilians band together to help the hero” thing. It makes me think of the end of the original Raimi Spider-Man bridge scene with Goblin. “YOU GONNA PICK ON A GUY TRYNA SAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS?”
This is mostly from recent memory but when (in the rise of the tmnt movie) Leo tricks Krang to be trapped in his dimension and even though Leo was being beaten a pulp imo near death he only thought about his family but along with his family also thinking about him causing Mikey,Raph,and Donnie to use their love and support to bring someone of their family back.

The tension between the two mixed with the dark gritty atmosphere really makes it the most memorable scene from any TMNT production.
My favorite moment hands down is from the 1990 movie and it’s the campfire scene where Splinter’s spirit appears. His “I love you all my sons” line gets me everytime.

This franchise means so much to me. The 2003 Turtles show was the only cartoon that I enjoyed as much as Spider-Man TAS when I was growing up. Just finished rewatching the whole series and it holds up so well. My favorite TMNT moment is probably from the movie, when Raphael returns home from his night out and Splinter sits him down for a talk. That conversation resonated so well with me since I can relate to Raph's intense anger.
My all time favorite TMNT moment has to be when the turtles reunite with their mother in the second Ghostbusters crossover. After every horrible thing that these kids have been through it was nice seeing them finally get to spend a short but special moment with their mother
I absolutely love that moment to
For me my favorite moment from the Turtles was during the Rise of the TMNT Movie when Ralph saves Leo from the Krang, the lighting, editing, music, and expressions perfectly convey the impact this movement has on Leo, made even stronger when you realize that the last thing they did together was fight. My jaw hit the floor when that piece of Ralph's shell was broken, and the threat of the Krang was further heightened. Whenever I think of the movie I always remember Leo's face when he exited the escape pod, unable to stand and struggling to breath, chills.
I loved the bit in the Rise movie when Leo squared up to Krang on his own in the Rise movie as a final self sacrifice that reflects his gung ho attitude at the beginning of the flick, but juxtaposed by having nothing to prove, rather being a sacrifice play to save both his brothers and the world.
And then, what would be a cheap fake out in a lesser story, Michelangelo saving him by unlocking his magic portal powers mere minutes later, explaining how he’ll never give up on his family, I’m crying just thinking about it, 10/10.
I genuinely love how they scored the big car chase to Fabulous Secret Powers of all things. Also not necessarily a Turtle Moment but I saw this in theaters with the girl I just started seeing and it was great as we cuddled up next to each other and watched the film
My favorite TMNT moment has to be the ending of Mutant Apocolypse in 2012. The world is so desolate and all hope is lost, but all four of the turtles find each other and make the best of it. It shows how strong their brotherhood is and it makes for a bittersweet ending
I haven't been too into TMNT, so I would have to say my favorite Turtles moment is this whole movie. It felt like a perfect blend of things that came before it while also doing it's own thing! Absolute 10/10 in my opinion, go watch it if you haven't already.
It’s a 8/10. 1990 movie is still better. April’s design is just ugly and made her fat. Don’t agree with his opinion on April not feeling like a teenager. Rise April was awesome
@@dreamsdeep1076beauty is subjective my man
I think my favorite moment from TMNT is the first live action movie where Donatello tries to talk to Michelangelo about the idea of splinter being gone and of course Michelangelo is focused on the pizza man being late, but I think like everyone else I think it was just Michelangelo trying his best not to think about it and distracting himself because when they do lose splinter, he’s the most emotional about it. That’s my favorite moment
yeah Mikey also took Splinter being gone the hardest when it actually happened.
Jackie Chan as Splinter is honestly one of the things I'm most excited to see.
I grew up with the 2003 series, that'll always be what comes to mind when I think TMNT. Also 2007 movie. The Leo Vs Raph fight is great both for its action and emotion, but I wanna shoutout the part of the movie where Raph fights the tiny alien. Dude gets flung through a door, hit with a frying pan, and a fridge falls on it. It's a highlight of the movie for me. And not to mention "Black Betty" is playing the whole time lmao
My favorite tmnt moment was in Mutant Mayhem actually when the montage of Splinter learning to be a loving father plays.
I always enjoyed Splinter being a wise and proficient samurai rat who treats his sons with respect and honor but something about this Splinter just wanting his kids to come home on time and spending nights watching movies with them and eating pizza is so wholesome and I love this version of the character a lot :)
I think my favorite TMNT moment has to be Leo absolutely going ham in the battle nexus in Rise to rescue Splinter. I loved how you could so clearly see how in control and relaxed Leo is, and it really showed how much potential he would have as a leader if he just grew up and applied himself rather than always slacking off
I really appreciate that the TMNT franchise is a franchise not afraid of taking risks and doing things different. They usually are able to make it work too and this one is no exception.
It is afraid of taking risk if it wasn't afraid of risk we would have a fully faithful comic adaptation on the big screen with nothing from the 80s cartoon
@@jackko21 I think since the 80s cartoon is probably one of the most well known versions of the TMNT if not the most well known everything that sort of sticks to the 80s show is playing it safe. it would be cool to see a fully comic accurate version of the TMNT Mirage comics
Agreed. I am getting a little tired of the safe and boring "superhero" tmnt. I want to see the mirage comics get a proper adaptation at least once. The closet we got to that version was the 2003 tmnt.
@@zemox2534 agree
@@jackko21so?
I've always loved the fight scene between Leo and Raph in TMNT 2007. The animation was so well down even 15 years later it still looks great. I absolutely adored the Nightwing vs Red Hood feeling of the turtles dynamic in the scene and it made the fight that much more impact full.
My personal favorite tmnt moment is the final battle from the rise movie, Leonardo finally growing and maturing, willing to sacrifice his life to save the world, and you can really feel the build up of raph and Leo’s tension, not just throughout the movie, but just throughout the entirety of rise. Not to mention that the animation is just gorgeous. And krang is such an amazing villain, and the shots they take at each other are actually pretty violent and lethal, like they are really damaged by the end of the fight.
My favorite moment is in the scene in the 1990 movie when Mikey and donatello are talking about what splinter said. It just comes to mind when I think about the movie, I love that scene.
My favorite moment from any ninja turtles property has to be Leo’s sacrifice in ROTTMNT the movie. That shot of Donnie crying always gets me
The fact that they actually got teen actors to voice characters was one of the main reasons I was excited for the film. Their handling of teenage kids seems on point.
But they don't sound like teens they sound like their 5 year olds
@@jackko21 All of the actors are 15-19, and literally only Donny sounds younger than he is.
@@jackko21 The issue might be that you're so used to hearing adults play teens that actual teens sounds too young
Yeah the actor that plays Donnie, his voice clearly hasn't dropped yet, since he sounds like a 10 year old. Most 15 year old boys don't sound like that, and it just sounds out of place when the other turtle's voices sound way more mature than Donnie's
I get that donnie has a really high voice but it honestly didn't bother me past the first 5-10 minutes. It's more realistic because not everyone ages at the same pace, also to me they felt more 14 almost 15 or just turned 15 so it makes sense.
My favorite moment is the scene where Leo was fighting the Shredder in the 2012 series, season 2. Idk but that scene really was intense, I loved it
when raph goes out on his own in the animated TMNT movie and has the fight in the kitchen with one of the monsters needed for the plot, i love the music choice and how fast paced the animation is. My runner up is when mikey goes sewer boarding after a pizza party (also from the same TMNT movie)
My favorite tmnt moment . Is in Batman vs TMNT where Raphael bust out the guys teeth during the fight with the Penguins goons
Ah man, I will always remember the moment were jack kirby was in the 2000's TMNT show. Donnie met him and Jack made a whole story and world with his book and they traveled to that world, Man, it was a an awesome episode, it was just so creative and very heartfelt at the same time. I love that man. I also love how creative that episode was too in which it harkins back to his past work. It was really nice.
We have the same favorite moment!!
I freakin love that episode. Need to get the Donatello one shot comic one day
@@basketballfan23 I totally agree!
I'm not super connected to the TMNT fandom, so I don't know how hot of a take this is, but I really liked the 2012 show, my favorite moment being from an early episode where Raph fights a mutated spider dude who keeps pissing him off.
In the episode Splinter teaches him about breathing in order to calm himself, pushing the anger out "like a flowing river."
I was very emotional as a kid and tended to get angry easily, which some kids liked taking advantage of, so seeing Raph be able to ignore the spider's taunts and stay calm was very inspiring and lowkey actually a great teaching moment for me.
Obviously I wasn't immediately cured of my anger issues, but it was a vital first step for me and I'll always be grateful to the show for that.
My favorite tmnt moment would have to be from Mutant Mayhem where the turtles got into their first fight. Even thought they have learned some form of ninjitsu. They haven’t actually fought anyone up to that point. But they managed to pull through and get their first victory. I honestly love how there some back and forth quips while they were fighting.
My favorite moment is when I first saw the 2012 series and noticed that they keep fighting the same thin robots that made weird noises because I watched recordings of it at my dad’s house instead of watching it in order so it made me not fully be able to get in to ninja turtles so now I’ve researched it and plan on watching one of the shows eventually.
Another guy already said this, but the fight with Raph and Leo in TMNT 2007 always stood out to me. It's shockingly emotional and raw considering the movie it's in, and ever since i was 7 I've always remembered the moment Leo knocks his helmet off because it genuinely hurts Leo. I was really into this movie as a kid, and the PS2 tie in game.
Honestly the conversations that this versions of the TMNT have feels very genuine and natural and I really like that the teens would occasionally talk about nerdy stuff.😺
My favorite TMNT moment has to be the elevator scene from the 2014 movie. Not because it’s actually a great scene, but because it’s the only part of what is otherwise a spectacular failure to adapt the Turtles that somewhat understands the brothers’ relationships and why they’re fun to watch.
I loved the turtles' dynamic in this film. I absolutely felt the turtles' constant mocking each other, as one of three brothers.
Best scene of all time is easily the rooftop rain scene between Leo and Raph in the TMNT animated film
My favorite moment in TMNT movies is the confrontation between Raph and Leo in the 2007 movie. It is shot beautifully with the lighting and their conversation is absolutely perfect. Another of my favorites is in the IDW comics in issue 100. I don't wanna spoil it but it was such a perfect moment between Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki with a final page that brought me to tears.
My Favorite Moment was the 1990's movie with how the Turtles are at the farm, them at the fireplace, talking to their father thinking that it might be the last time they might ever talk to him. Mike crying is what brings that scene together.
Best turtles moment? Puppet baby splinter learning his moves from his master and doing them together. Comedy GOLD
My favorite turtles moment is when Splinter died in the 2012 series i was so sad i literaly cried and when the series ended i cried again with all the main characters watching the sunset and seeing Splinter in the sky
My favorite moment is when the TMNT eat pizza. Really bold direction for Michael Bay.
My favorite moment is probably the opening of the first the movie when we first see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the first time I love that scene
But I don’t have a Twitter account. I might have to use my dad’s like I’m gonna win
Definitely agree on the turtles having an especially under appreciated rogues gallery. One of my favourite moments in the franchise is Mikey’s solo fight with Hun in #54 of the idw books. Definitely one of my favourite fights in all of comics.
My favorite moment has to be in issue 1 of the last Ronin when Mikey fails to infiltrate Oroku Hiroto's base and then just gives up and tries to kill himself. You can feel how tired he is from the pain and guilt of losing his whole family and how badly he wants the nightmare to end. Love the exploration of this part of the character's personality
I love the scenes in the mutant mayhem where they are dreaming of being accepted and find their place in the world. It resonates with a lot of teenagers nowadays
4:54 Fun Fact: In 2012, originally Raph was the one who was gonna be crushing on April
My favorite Turtles moment is in the 2003 series where Leo cuts the Shredders head off. Yeah it doesn't kill him, but it's framed so badass that i love it
My favourite TMNT moment is hands down the Shredder vs. TMNT rooftop fight from the OG TMNT movie, the choreography, the ambience, it all comes together to create an amazing moment
This movie was so terrific!!! Keeping the franchise quality consistently incredible!!! Also very glad the animators were treated well. My favorite tmnt moment is probably idw comics where raph is homeless, sees Casey being beaten by his dad, saves casey, then right after meeting this homeless turtle man Casey invites him to go beat up criminals in an alley
My favorite TMNT moment is the campfire scene from the first live action movie. It's a great scene that goes from being comedic to serious and heartfelt quite nicely. Mikey crying when he had been largely the comedic relief of the movie, not really reacting to Splinter's disappearance like Leo or Raph, was really touching.
My favourite moment is the subway fight in the 1990 movie where Raph saves April, its actually the first ever TMNT scene i’ve ever saw
My favourite tmnt moment is the argument between Raphael and Leo in the 2007 movie because as a kid I thought the fight was cool but then I had a very similar argument with my best friend because we didn’t go to the same school for a year than I came back and was the leader of the friend group and he protested they shouldn’t be one and if there was he’d leave, then recently I rewatched the movie and cried at this part because it was so relatable
Mutant Mayhem may be the best TMNT theatrical movie. It’s so good. The art style looks like moving concept art. It’s amazing
I’m not the most versed turtles fan, only have seen the micheal bay movies, 2012 show, TMNT, some of the comics, and now mutant mayhem, but my favorite moment was definitely the Crime montage of the turtles searching for information on super fly. The animation and music beats made that scene so good!
My favorite TMNT moment has to be them teaming up and then Splinter subsequently clapping Shredder on the rooftop in the first movie. Its so badass in the most contradictingly bizarre way, that perfectly exemplifies what the turtles are to me.
The way I look at the end of the movie is the silent arc of Leo jut bein a friend and not tryint to win her heart
Id say that my favorite moment of the turtles is when everytime they're brought back they always modernized to the point where you can tell what point of time they came from
Its nice to see a movie constantly being made for next generation of kids in each new iteration
I think my favorite moment in all of TMNT is the ending of the first IDW comic, when Raph is reunited with Splinter. Just such a wholesome moment and a great way to truly start the run.
my favorite moment from TMNT is the final Shredder fight in the 2012 show. a whole series of buildup to the final awesome fight where the turtles get dope ass black uniforms and Leo decapitates shredder, revenge for Splinter's death and a reference to the 2003 show
my favorite moment was when leo sacrificed himself to trap krang and he's just hugging his picture of his family
The best moment of any TMNT thing for me has got to be the campfire scene in the first movie. The music, the atmosphere, the suit and the chosen expressions from the Henson people, it all works so perfectly.
My favorite TMNT moment is in TMNT (2007) not specifically Raph and Leos fight but right after Leos swords break, When Leo is staring at Raph and Raph is staring back, so much emotion is displayed just in there facial expressions its absolutely beauitful
My favorite turtle moment will always be the four brothers in the first 1990 film meditating and hearing Splinter’s potential final speech. I lost my father as a teenager so this scene always hits home. Having them show emotions was always something that stuck out to me and I obviously empathized with them
This film captures the indie spirit of the original comics
Best TMNT movie in my opinion it was amazing definitely going to see it again my favorite TMNT moment was definitely Leo vs Raph on the rooftop because it was a lot of tension between those two and they let it out in a very epic way
Really enjoyed the new movie and was legitimately an actual attempt to revamp and modernize the story of the turtles. Kept the main beats but took it in a new direction and it worked really well and I'm totally down to see where this universe goes.
And on a personal note I've always like the 1990s movie Raph being taken out and his family gathering and mourning the acting and emotion presented even through large rubber suits is amazing too me even today.
The 2023 film deserves its place in the legacy of the turtles.
My favorite TMNT moment was in the rise movie when Raph breaks free of the krang mind control and the turtles all fight it’s awesome
My favorite TMNT moment is the turtles talking with Splinter’s spirit in the 1990 movie. It’s such a beautiful and heartbreaking yet heartwarming scene. Especially when the turtles are all crying and are processing their emotions together.
It's not very good.
That spiderman (2002) moment in Mutant Mayhem where all of new york comes together to stop superfly had me in tears
For some reason the moment that's always stuck with me the most is from early in Eastman & Laird's original run of TMNT. It was during a sort of intermission to the story where the turtles, Casey, and April are all in this farmhouse in the middle of nowhere just recuperating from the last big story arc. There's a moment when Leo (I think it was him) was just standing on the roof of the farmhouse, looking into the moonlight, both taking in the quietude of the moment but also mentally preparing for the storm ahead. It was the moment that really made me fall in love with TMNT. I'd seen both the original and 2003 series as well as the movies before, but it was reading that issue of the comic that I had become fully attached to the characters and their world.
If I had to pick a favorite moment, it has to be from the 1990 movie where Raph has his heart-to-heart with Splinter. There's just something about seeing the angry hothead being reduced to tears by his father's kindness that just warms my soul. This also extends to the 2007 movie, TMNT, specifically in the moments after the Raph vs Leo fight. Raph takes Leo's swords and admits guilt to Splinter. Splinter is disappointed,yes, but he helps Raph deal with his emotions because that's his son. TMNT is a franchise about family, both the one you're born into and the one you build along the way. I hope the turtles stay around for a long, long time after we're all gone, because in the right hands, these four are truly timeless.
My favorite moment is the montage where TMNT fights every gang leader to tell him any information of superfly and the action scenes is so superb and the music "no diggity" makes it fit so perfectly
My favorite tmnt moment is in the first movie when they lost and got April’s dad shop burnt down. And seeing them all cope in their own ways. Like Mikey aggressively over exerting himself by training (cut from the movie). Leo keeping a close watch over Raph. And Donnie by helping Casey with fixing the car.
I thought that because the teenage aspect of the characters was so well handled, all the emotional beats hit very well despite the overall comedic tone of the film. (Also my favorite turtle moments are the rise finale, the 2003 leo edgelord arc, and every version of the fight at aprils apartment.)
My favorite TMNT moment is when Casey and Raph meet up in the 2007 movie. Casey immediately recognizes Raph and they tie up a villian while Youth Like Tigers plays in the background. Such a cool scene because it perfectly establishes the friendship the two have always shared and it transitions nicely to a brief heart to heart the two share with each other (even if Raph falls asleep to Casey's venting at the end of the scene). Fantastic review btw.
My favorite TMNT moment is when Mikey in 2012, was dancing and dodging moves while splinter tried to hit him. 🤣
My favorite moment was Ralph and Leo’s fight in the 2007 TMNT movie. So much drama and tension, beautiful and choreography. Reminds me of the times me and my cousin who used to get into it would fight as kids.
One of my favorite TMNT moments might be 2003 season 3 arc where the turtles travel across time and dimensions. I love those episodes so much, especially SAINW. And the reason of why they were glitching was so shocking for me. I also enjoy how 2003 resembles the Mirage comics much more than other iterations.
Ironically my favourite scene from the turtles is them in the lift from the first live action movie cause it’s such a sweet moment between the brothers despite them looking hideous
My favorite tmnt moment is from the first movie when Mikey, Donny and Leo celebrated their first victory in their lair by having a pizza party and dancing to the song “Tequila”
my favourite TMNT moment is in the first movie when Michelangelo and Donatello are just sitting in the Sewers waiting for the pizza to come and talking. I just like peace of the moment.
My favorite TMNT moment is probably the final action scene in the finale of Rise. It just has so much energy throughout and so many different phases, twists, and turns that it's impossible for me to not love.
The animated TMNT movie from 2007. The argument between leo and raph on the roof. It just felt so real and emotional, it really is a shame that movie never got the sequel it deserved.
Favorite TMNT moment is probably the talk Raphael and Splinter have in the 90's movie. That was my first exposure to the turtles and it's just such a lovingly well put together scene
One of my favorite TMNT moments is when, in Secret Of the Ooze, Keno throws his Pizzas at the robber and he catches him before falling to the ground, pizzas and all!
My favorite moment is from Secret of the Ooze. It's the scene from the beginning of the movie where the turtles fight a bunch of foot soldiers. Donnie looking to the inflatable clown for inspiration and saying yeah in such a funny manner before acting like it will never not be funny.
My favorite moment in any TMNT medium is the origin. I know as the years have gone by there have been a few different interpretations of their backstory, but the overall idea of the turtles being created by mere circumstance is what I like most about it. At the end of the day the turtles are an accident, just like how characters such as Spider-Man, daredevil, The Flash, and the hulk were all accidents. And instead of just hiding themselves away they all chose to make the best out of a crazy/unexplainable situation by using their abilities (in this case, both their mutations and over 15 years of ninja training) to help the world.
My favorite moment of the Tmnt was in the 2003 cartoon Ralph helped a blind old lady and helped her with house cleaning and other things she needed help with, but she soon was gonna get kicked out of her apartment because she couldn’t pay for her rent, but Ralph got money for her to help her out, and that shows that Ralph has a soft spot and a heart
My favorite turtle moment is from the 2012 show where Leo thought he was chosen to be the leader for some wise reason only for splinter to just say because he asked first. It takes the idea the whole Leo is the leader part of him and gives it such a simple reason.
My favorite is in tmnt(2007). When splinter and raph talk after leo is captured. I found it nice how he says that although raph can be his least favorite student, that doesn't mean he's his least favorite son
My favourite TMNT moment was in the 1990 movie when Leo waits for Raph to wake up, because he felt the most responsible for why Raph got hurt in the first place. And then Raph wakes up is just heartwarming.
