I wonder if you can get tortoisticular cancer? .....That's horrible, please punch me.

well for sure Michelangelo would win becuase he is more aggressive and plus he has two weapons!!!!
no, he doesn't have the brains, and no he doesn't have the leadership qualities(which doesn't matter much). but if i was a betting man, i would put my money on michelangelo.

ok i never really was a big fan of the ninja turtles, but i saw their movie once or twice. but that was a long time ago. oh well, i'll try my best.

the blue dude with the swords, leo i think...would win. for one thing, i think blue and green mesh well together. so leo definately has his sense of style goin on...that speaks very highly of him. second of all, he has the best weapon. i bet his swords are as sharp as that one sword on The Bodyguard when kevin threw whitney's scarf up in the air and it landed on the blade and it got cut in two pieces. he'd probably have 'em all chopped up into little pieces before they even had a chance to defend themselves, which brings me to my next point. he's an awesome fighter, with the reflexes of a cat, and the speed of a mongoose. he was the quickest learner out of the whole bunch, and the leader as well. so he has that advantage over all of the other three..he knows their weaknesses.

i can't really think of anything else at the moment but eh. this is good enough for starters. i'm still disappointed about the results of the last match but eh. no biggy.
laterz people.

Not even citing the fact that in the multiple episodes of the cartoon and instances in the movies where this actually did happen and Raphael won, it is obvious that the red-bandana'd ninja turtle would come out on top.

First, there's the fact that Raphael has always been the loner of the group. He is the only one that I could see that wouldn't have reservations about attacking, and harming, the other turtles. This attitude is most clearly illustrated in the first movie where he strikes out on his own.

Secondly, he's the toughest of the turtles. He has an attitude, but clearly the fighting prowess to back it up.

In addition, his weapons are the most versatile. Whereas the other turtle's weapons are most specialized and thus have strengths and weaknesses, Raphael's sais would offer the most flexibility in dealing with the others.

Also, coupled with a point I raised earlier, Raphael harbors resentment towards most of the other turtles in some form or another. This stems from Splinter's disapproval of Raphael's attitude.

All of these factors clearly show not only that Raphael would be victorious, but also that you are all gay. Thank you.

i was in the mood to see a brad pitt movie so i watched legends of the fall. its alot better than watching the ninja turtles. i guess there's just something about seeing grown men cry. but eh.

i think the fact that raphael has resentment towards the other turtles would make him be the first one to go. if he didn't really always like the other turtles i bet they were able to catch the resentment vibe he was putting out and they'd all gang up on him and get him out of the way so that they could get him out of the way. i bet they're tired of him being so wishy washy. and then leo would take them out one by one after that. and he'd win.

First off I have to say I haven't seen the ninja turtles since I was 11, so I'm pretty shaky on who is the ultimate. But from memory I have to say Raphael is the one and only turtle! He could whip any of his fellow super hero buddies because he has the "attitude" for it. If I remember correctly, he was the one that always got into trouble, but seemed to get out of it. I know that his chummy green friends helped him out on more than one occasion, but he's a tough turtle! If they hadn't showed up in worry, Raphael could have easily handled all his "situations". He may be the quiet, loner type that has a bad attitude towards everything, but that is exactly what he needs to outsmart his pals... therefore... Raphael would win this fight by a landslide!

I have to mention that all the turtles had strengths and weaknesses and they all would receive a harsh beating... yet the hardshelled turtle in red would seize victory!

But you FOOL, the other turtles wouldn't attack one of their own. Not only did I mention this several times in my article, but had you not been seeing the horrid "Legends of the Fall," you too would have realized this fact. Brad Pitt should not be allowed to act anymore. In fact, I've recommended on several occasions that he be "put down," but the kids just get so worked up. I guess I'll just have to do it some day when they're off at school and tell them he ran away. *sigh*

if the other turtles wouldn't attack one of their own then none of them would be able to fight to the death because that is exactly what this grudge match is asking for. the turtles have to attack each other and leo would use his leadership skills to manipulate the other turtles so that they'll get rid of raphael first. and i'll bet they'll be very glad to do it anyways. no one wants a stick in the mud around...always being so fickle. that's no fun.

you people don't like any actors do you? ok besides harrison ford but sheesh! brad pitt is cool.

ok after extensive reading on what's been going on with this ninja turtle ordeal, I have to say yes that the sulking Raphael has potential to take out his fellow turtles but being a believer in good always dominating, Leoarndo would outlast all of them. He is the leader and possesses the skills and wisdom to pinpoint each turtle's weakness and therefore they will lose. ok usually i'm not a debate enthusiast; however in this case my opinion will be put for all to read. But who I want to win would be Michangelo because he's just the coolest. you know the smartest are always the one under disguise and perfectly outwits the rest. so there.

All right, all right. If I post, will you quit bitching, Matt?

First off, to reply to the above, Leonardo would win the Turtles battle. I have been thinking long and hard about this over the weekend as I was having experimental drugs fed to me by people who don't know the difference between a blood and stool sample (it was an interesting weekend). It may be the drugs talking, but I firmly beleive that Leonardo has the skills to beat them all. Sure, he wants to keep the group together, but we're talking extraordinary circumstances here. None of the Turtles really wants to fight each other, I'm sure.

Also, as a point of order, I must say that Brad Pitt's character in "Legends of the Fall" (which, coincidentally, I watched this weekend as I was laid up as nurses desperately tried to dredge fecal matter from my veins) would probably take a couple Turtles down himself, as he showed some deft ninja skill in the film. Sure, he'd probably shed some tears later, but when you wake the bear within, somebody's going to get hurt.

QUEER!

Okay. First of all this is all great. I've not gotten to read all the new stuff but I'm happy with the new LDR. Also, in regards to the turtles...I want to say Mikey, but I know Donatello's clearer head will prevail and he'll whack Mikey and the others with his bo so hard they'll declare "Shell Shock!" (How's that for old. I remember that when it was in the comic book, and then again in the NES game when you died. I dare say I'm the oldest person on this forum).
And on a more angry note, you have misspelled my name in your Loopy Day section! You gave me credit which I love, but my name is JonathAn, not JonathOn, as you seem to have thought. It's okay buddy, I still love you. And until Predator Vs. Alien makes it to the big screen...make mine The Matt Cave!

To site my own opinion, Raphael, all the way. He's just awesome. Those sai's, great, useful in counteracting all the turtles' weapons. And don't forget his inner fire. As a person who quite frequently "Hulks out" himself, I can appreciate the power of inarticulate rage. And, I think his red bandanna matches his skin better than the others, they're just tacky.
